Keep It Unreal

Template:Use dmy dates Template:Album ratings Keep It Unreal is the second studio album by English disc jockey, Andrew Carthy, under the alias Mr. Scruff. It includes the hit single "Get a Move On!", which is an electro swing track built upon samples of Moondog's "Bird's Lament (In Memory of Charlie Parker)" alongside vocals from T-Bone Walker's "Hypin' Woman Blues." The album ends with "Fish", a track made up of samples about marine life, which is a motif of Mr. Scruff. Samples used in the track include the likes of David Attenborough and David Bellamy. It was re-released in 2009 as a 10th anniversary two disc set.
