For the last month or so here in the UK, Children's BBC (BBC1 on weekday afternoons) uses a Mr Scruff track as background music. I can't remember what it's called (cos I /still/ can't afford to buy 'Keep It Unreal') but it's that funky one with the tight beat and the punchy chords. Stevie. www.ignition.org.uk www.rewind1000.co.uk np:: Gay Biker - 'Poor Dead Cow'
