"Be The Music" and "Nervous Energy" eschew Scruff's cheeky sampling of yore and in its place put rock hard rhythms built up into driving polyrhythmic dancefloor mania. "Be The Music" combines them with a kind of digi-dubbed b-line while "Nervous Energy" is built round what sounds like a classic funk riff played as all-over body-wobble. The results in both cases are hypnotic, powerful, hugely danceable and packed with so much understanding of funk and modern music that they burst with it. In particular, Scruff knows as well as anyone out there, that not doing too much is the key to doing just enough. And that, my friends, is wisdom.
