Upbeat boogie music!
Review of Singles, The - Basement Jaxx by
vix83
Advantages: Happy, Upbeat and now at a low price!!
Disadvantages: Not for those who like soppy songs!!
This compilation is an excellent introduction to the talent of basement jaxx for those who don't know their music or a CD of great hits for those who do. Its upbeat melodies keep you tapping your feet and wiggling in your chair even if your not brave enough to get on the dance floor. These tunes are guarenteed to lift your mood. If you haven't seen them live you really should, as a live band they put on an excellent show which leaves you wanting ...

The remedy to crappy music
Review of Remedy - Basement Jaxx by
Rabidsquirrel
Advantages: Original, intelligent, different to most other predictable, cheesy dance music thatis around at the moment.
Disadvantages: One track: Bingo Bango. Let's the side down a bit.
So. I'm white dot bloke am I? What kind of stupid system is this? I'm not impressed with Ciao at the moment, what with crappy pay systems, derogatory community ratings, etc. but I was bored, so I decided to put another opinion on the site. So I looked through my music collection. Because my music collection rules. Apart from my Limp Bizkit CD, but the less I say about that, the better. But sifting through my albums, some of which are scattered across ... ...And remembering how much I liked it last time I listened to it, I put it on. And somehow, after about a year of not listening to it, it sounds even better than it did before. Perhaps this is a result of the sad state the music industry is in today, which has forced me to lower my standards musically. But one thing that is for sure is that this album is a classic. Everyone should own this. And if you don't own it, why not?
The Basement Jaxx boys, ...

Another innovative album from Basement Jaxx
Review of Kish Kash - Basement Jaxx by
tim18
Advantages: Basement Jaxx aren't just what they seem!
Disadvantages: The album could be too diverse for some people!
...listening to their third album, Kish Kash, I can definitely tell that this is not your standard club music. Their are anonymous diva vocal remixes of popular songs I often hear when I drag my friends out to the clubs. If nothing else, the vocal collaborations ( Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Siouxsie Sioux ) indicate something special.
Kish Kash starts out strong with the track 'Good Luck', which is of a drum & bass style. Complex bass lines support Me'Shell ... ...have claimed that Kish Kash isn't quite as heady or progressive as Jaxx's first two albums? I feel this is true in a way, but I was waiting for something different from them, which they acheived with great results. Overall, a fantastic album with little to let you down. ...

The House That Jaxx Built
Review of Rooty - Basement Jaxx by
stoffy
Advantages: some great tracks, totally original style
Disadvantages: sounds better in a club than on the CD player
A munching gorilla set against a background of stars and vivid pink isn't a look that too many music stars would go for on the front of their albums. However, Brixton's Basement Jaxx aren't your orthodox band. Known to their mothers as Simon Ratcliffe and Simon Buxton, they have been producing music together for almost a decade, although it was only with 1999's 'Remedy' that they fully hit the big time. Whilst Ibiza anthems like 'Red Alert' and 'Rendezvous' ... ...the height of its powers, 'Rooty' was released during a period when only trance seemed to be making an impact on the charts. Unfortunately, due the public's wish to by songs featuring anonymous blonde women singing cliched lyrics over a dull and recycled tune, 'Rooty' wasn't as big a success as it should have been. However, it remains one of the better dance albums to be released this decade. The album begins with 'Romeo', which was the first song ...

"We don't care what you think...."
Review of Ego War [PA] - Audio Bullys by
x_helix_x
Advantages: A fantastic debut album from pioneers of hooligan house
Disadvantages: One boring track, may be too gritty for some people
...accent. "I want a suburban ego war". The lyrics describe lots of aspects and scenes of urban life and he declares "I want to stay here for the rest of my days." It's a fun and quite light hearted way to end the album even if though it's edgy. The album art for "Ego War" is really quite plain and simple. The cover is a picture of Simon and Tom standing on a tube train but the picture is quite distorted and white letters in graffiti style spell out ... ...with a track listing and another photo very similar to that on the cover. The album art is nothing special and would go unnoticed very easily.
Well as for my verdict on the album.....it's pretty damn good. It's similar in style to The Streets except with a more house edge to it with it's massive beats and MC style raps. It's not a life affirming or life changing album but then a dance music album never is and that's not what it's about. "Ego War" ...
