The Darker The Shadow The Brighter The Light

Twenty years on from their debut album ‘Original Pirate Material’, which changed the UK Garage & hip-hop scene forever, Mike Skinner still finds himself an iconic pioneer of British music. The album is a classic Streets album - filled with Skinner’s trademark lyrical wizardry and beats honed over a decade of building his other career as a legitimate bass/rap DJ in clubs. The songs on the album soundtrack the film and also play the role of narrator of the film at times - and whilst neither the album or film exist without each other - both can be enjoyed separately.
