Remedy - Basement Jaxx

Advantages: Best Basement Jaxx album, great sound, experimental
Disadvantages: Such a great album, follow up albums were doomed to be poor in comparison

Remedy is Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton AKA Basementjaxx's debut album. Basment Jaxx have more recently released their greatest hits album, featuring all their greatest hits, but if you were considering to purchase any basement Jaxx album, I would most defiantly recommend it to be this album, 'Remedy'. In most recent album releases by Basement Jaxx', they've progressed and developed a different sound to the album Remdy, a more party pop energetic ...
