A surprise after every track..

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2008

Verified Purchase

Love it!! Don't buy this album if you expect every track to feel like the first.. or the second. Each track has it's own unique tone & feel. Once you get to the last third of the album, it's totally different. I like complicated 'thinking' music, you won't be dancing to this one. Put it in the car on a short trip and experience it the way the artist clearly intended.. as a journey.

All is very good

I like much this type of music. I believe that it is musical for persons who need to make attention great in his(her,your) work or they need music that does not distract them of his(her,your) activities. It is excellent.

Intoxicating, weird, funky, and relaxing downtempo

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2000

Verified Purchase

Mr. Scruff takes us on a journey through dim rooms with people chilling on beanbags. With such standout tracks as Get A Move On, Midnight Feast, Honeydew, So Long, Blackpool Roll, and Fish this is one CD that won't be leaving your cd player/changer any time soon. Although most of this CD may be too abstract for wide audiences, seasoned downtempo veterans should be able to open their minds to the world of Mr. Scruff.

Not so great. Only one good song on the CD. Disappointing. Had to order it online as it wasn't available in stores.

Right. This Mr.Scruf fellow is at the top of his game, pulling music from his back pocket instead of regurgitating the same nonsense that people are walking around calling music. Something fresh and new, I say.

Surprisingly solid for what I thought would be an unnecessary reissue

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2009

Although it is not a fair comparison for either album, I recently bought both this and the Beastie Boys' "Hello Nasty" reissues and cannot help but note the similarities (and an important difference). Both albums came out the same year, many tracks appeal to like musical tastes, and each was reissued this year with a bonus CD.

But I was quite unhappy with the "Nasty" bonus tracks so, while I already enjoyed "Keep It Unreal", I did not believe it necessary to reissue the album, let alone with several additional tracks.

Turns out I was very wrong about that. While I tend to skip roughly half of the tracks on the original album, a few of the bonus tracks were good enough for me to put on my iPod. Like so many others, I was originally turned on to the album by the show "Spaced", and the tracks I tend to enjoy the most are similar in style to the ones used in the show. Now, none of the bonus tracks are like those; however, they are largely similar to prime 808 State and some Barry Adamson--other electronic artists whose works I enjoy. Basically, the bonus tracks are more "Get A Move On!" than "Spandex Man", but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Keeping It Very Real Indeed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2008

Verified Purchase

Mr Scruff (known as Andy Carthy to his mum) is a multi talented DJ producer who is very difficult to pigeon hole (good the way I like it) - his productions on Keep It Unreal are dreamy and very funky, with crazy samples from children's TV of the 50s and 60s.

The finest moment on here for me is Midnight Feast with it's delightful xylophone and jazzy feel, this is a good one for when you want to drift to sleep, and could probably be fun if you're a DJ cutting between tracks - or for scratchin'. Another favourite of mine is Get A Move On, with the sample of an old country record - it's bluesy yet jazz based melody is just fun and can get anyone dancing like a loon.

Altogether this is an excellent album to chill out to late night, to enjoy before bedtime and just to get in the mood to sleep, Scruff's usage of samples and melodies is just amazing and makes his work so enjoyable. This, to me is his finest work, but his other albums are well worth listening to.

Possible the best mix of music ever

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

I am a newcomer to the Mr. Scruff universe since I was first introduced to his music through windows 7 (One of the music examples is "Kalimba" from "Ninja Tuna"). This made me instantly want more and through a little research I decided to go with Keep It Unreal.
This album is a great mix of soul soothing tunes (Honeydew, Travelogue, So long) over to the more "move your body" (Spandex man, Get a move on, Blackfoot roll) and last but not least the straight up wierd tunes (Shanty town, Fish). It is electronic music at its finest and you owe it to your self and your album collection to atleast check this one out.
Oh, and you get an extra CD with this anniversary release that includes some really awesome tunes, highly recommended.

Great chill-out music, poor sound, flat lacks a sound stage

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Probably one of the least atmospheric recordings I have heard for a long time. Good dynamic range but the almost total lack of channel balance, sound stage and atmosphere created by a “naive” mix make this a very disappointing recording and listening experience. This is a shame as the music is so good.

I have not set out to write reviews of the music content as “beauty is in the ears of the listener”. These reviews are about the quality (or not) of the recorded sound. To read about how the reviews are done please see my profile.

• Clarity – clear no muddiness
• Channel separation – do not seem to be used, very like a mono recording, all centre. Very little left and right channel definition
• Channel balance – Almost non existent, all centre, almost mono.
• Sound Stage – lack of channel balance means that the recording is all centre i.e. virtually no sound stage, lacks any feeling of spaciousness. Would be OK in a chill-out lounge with indifferent speakers in say the ceiling
• Distortion – non audible
• Compression – non audible
• Atmosphere – almost non existent, the poor mix and lack of channels means that this is like listening to a 78 rpm recording
• Bass – low frequencies – punchy tight well defined
• Treble – high frequencies - adequate
• Vocals - OK

As a general rule of thumb recordings from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s are nearly always better on the original vinyl. Remasters often fail to please as it’s just not possible to make a silk purse from a sows ear, i.e. the original recording lacks the necessary detail to be processed digitally and show an audible improvement. Indeed such processing can make the sound worse.

Modern recordings which have been processed digitally from start to finish can be as good as vinyl. CD’s are often unfairly criticised for being poor quality. This is not the case, it is the original recording or the process which is to blame. Modern “remasters” can both enhance and degrade a recording. The statement GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) is the limiting factor. Ignore this at your cost.

I lost my copy of this iconic album which I was lucky enough to actually play on.

Aurally Moving

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2002

Verified Purchase

Although Mary Ann Hobbs is not needed, Mr. Scruff does a great job in quickly obliterating her from our mind by throwing out some top notch funky beats.
Get A Move On is perpetually one of the finest examples of creative sampling I have ever heard,and Roots Manuva featured in JusJus gives a blindingly open twist on a Hip-hop beat.
Cheeky tops off the list by throwing a simple house kord over a heavy, but altogether enjoyable bassline.
Overall, a stonking piece of music worthy of your hard earned cash.
