MR. SCRUFF returns to the long-playing record fray with his 1st studio album since the scrumptious 'Trouser Jazz' and he's sounding in finer fettle than ever. 'Ninja Tuna' is an album that mixes up all of Andy Carthy's influences and turns them into a funny, unique, amiable & distinctively British sound which will start parties, destroy dancefloors & even soundtrack your spring cleaning. From beginning to end, 'Ninja Tuna' embodies all the diversity, humour, eclecticism and soul that Mr. Scruff has become synonymous with. From the soul-jazz of "Music Takes Me Up" (featuring the golden lungs of ALICE RUSSELL); through the cartoonish tail-swishing of "Donkey Ride"; past a superb cameo from ROOTS MANUVA ("Nice Up The Function"); this is an album which just keeps on growing on you. Every tune has been roadtested at Scruff's epic club nights and it shows on the disco-builder "Get On Down" and the muddy funkster "Hold On" (featuring Andreya Triana).
