The remedy to crappy music
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, ...

Jaxx And Their Great Hits
Advantages: Highly varied. Something for everyone Disadvantages: A few tracks let it down
...is one of their biggest singles, and had to be re-released in order to squeeze all the quality out of it. You have them explore a Jazz side of their music as you get Lisa Kekaula sining in a skat style and doing so to a jazzy piece of Electronica production which varies greatly from one section to another as it balances these genre for tremenous results. **Five Stars**
13. "Jus 1 Kis"
Album From: "Rooty"
Year: 2001
This one gets them going inot ... ...don't like many House tracks, and so this acted a a barrier to myself in attempting to enjoy this tune. You have them using a hook of a repetitive hook, and it is utilised effectively in order to capture the listeners, although the House style of it prevented me to fully engage. **Two Stars**
14. "Fly Life"
Album From: "EP 3" (feat. Slarta John)
Year: 1997
This is a failry modest one form the group as it gets them bringing up the energy levels ...

Another innovative album from Basement Jaxx
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
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 ...

Excellent collection of singles.
Advantages: Excellent songs Disadvantages: Not full versions
This is an excellent CD, as you would expect from such dance music pioneers as Basement Jaxx. All the biggest hits are here from 'Romeo' through 'Good Luck' to 'Do Your Thing'. The sheer variation in tracks is excellent, and there is no doubt that it is the distinctive sound of Basement Jaxx. There are literally no bad songs on this CD. My personal favourite is the dark and funky 'Rendez-Vu', whereas the weakest link is possibly 'Jump N Shout' or ... ...the songs that even the weakest songs are still good. The only downside is that sometimes the radio edits are the versions used in an effort to cram as many songs as possible onto the CD. In summary, it is a collection of the biggest hits from a seminal pioneering band. ...
