whheeww.. mr.scruff strikes again. not that i am surprised but just seems
like he's been cranking out the material as of late.. hmm.. so yeah.. the
pigeon 12" basically is two tracks, one plus the "flying" remix.. good
good vibe. he does a great job mixing in a subtle instrument with his
beats.. always get a good smooth feeling from his work...

only thing that i found a bit strange was the speed.. it sounds much better
on 33 than the noted 45. but then again maybe i'm just stuck in this ultra
chill mood as of late.. not to say its crap at 45, cause that's actually
how i listened to it at dropbeat and well.. i bought it, didn't i? but
i've found over the past few days to enjoy the slightly slower sound..

basically a great 12" at either speed. so if you've got other scruff and
are wanting a bit more of him... look for this.. otherwise i'd recommend
his full release, selftitled, black cover with some great lineart "not
quite happy" happyface illustrations.. an excellent downtempo/hip hop
instrumental groove...
