Mr Scruff: Donkey Ride video + song

As any fool knows, Mr Scruff is more than just a DJ/producer. The bearded Stockport wonder is a cartoonist, purveyor of fine teas, club impresario, lover of fish (but not in a funny way) and general purveyor of a Better Way of Life for Right-Minded Club Folk. Funny, funky, musically warm and astute, but with some of that cartoonish funfair atmosphere that makes every Scruff release a celebration, "Donkey Ride" is a collaboration with longtime cohort Quantic and pianist Andy Kingslow. Coming on like "Roobarb & Custard" on a day out with Ray Charles, it's a green dog leading the blind kind of tune. Nuff said. Meanwhile, "Giant Pickle" slaps the biggest hip hop break up against hi-life keyboards and moody strings for the most moving ode to large vegetables killed by vinegar since.... erm, well maybe it's a first. Unfeasible bass and cowbell snaps, this will move the floor. It's not for us to say where.... We gave "Donkey Ride" music video by Mr Scruff a listen and yeah, it's a nice song (May, 2008). An oldie but didnot make it to 'goodie'. Apparantly not enough attention to make it to the top. A pity...
