Dan Le Sac & Scroobious Pip

No doubt I'm way behind but I heard 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' for the first time today. Top stuff, really like the lyrics & his delivery. I get the feeling it's going to be one of those love/hate tracks though, with more and more people hating it the more they hear it - and it will no doubt be overplayed. Anyway, a quick look on the Hype Machine and I found another track that's just as good to be honest. It seems that sampling Radiohead is cool at the moment, with Plan B borrowing The Pyramid Song for the excellent 'Missing Links' track and Pip & Le Sac borrowing Planet Telex for 'A Letter From God To Man' - again, clever lyrics. Check it out on Another Form of Relief if you haven't already:

It's really, really good.

I saw Scroob for the first time a year or two back outside an Atmosphere gig just rapping into an amp. It was probably the worst I have ever had the displeasure of hearing.

He is still shit now.

But that track is BRILLIANT. Go figure.

Kill yourself

Edit: That's a bit harsh, but seriously, as Phil Collins once said, why base your life on what people like or otherwise.

You're right, I do actually base my musical tastes around what Zane Lowe currently thinks. Jesus.

My point was is that it's the kind of trendwhore drivel that a DJ with a jackdaw's appreciation of music such as Lowe loves.

Oh, I LOVE this.

Reminds me of the first time I heard Has It Come To This. Is there an album anywhere?

Resurrecting the thread from a year ago....

There is now, and it's really pretty good. Quite a few other tracks ranting about popular culture, a couple of depressing and uncomfortable ones (Angles, and Magician's Assistant), and Letter from God to Man which is just brilliant.

picked up the album on tuesday, haven't taken it out of the player since.

i had a load of demo mp3s and the live cd they sold on their last tour so there wasn't much in the way of surprises on there, but it really is a bloody good album.

Been listening to this for the last few weeks since it leaked. I've even bought the CD after downloading it.

It's a quality bit of work, and whoever said Letter from God to Man was a killer track is 100% spot on.

They supported Sparks on Tuesday night, and I was gutted to miss all but the last few beats. The door staff said the support was "a DJ or summink", so I went to eat and drinking something half decent in an alright pub, rather than overpriced Academy fizz. Ah well.

I checked em out last year at Reading, solely cos the name 'Scroobius Pip' amused me. Turned out they were actually pretty nifty. I like the album, makes a change from all the rawk I listen to. Scroobius speaks the troof, yo.

Pretty disappointing album overall - based on Thou Shalt Always Kill I was expecting it to be good lyrically and a bit dull on the production side but if anything it's the other way round.

The instrumental bit at the end of Letter From God To Man - with the Planet Telex sample battered to fuck with an enormous old skool hardcore Amen underneath it - is probably the best 60 seconds or so of music I'll hear all year. Just fucking RUDE.
