Album Reviews
And then forget all that. Basement Jaxx refine their broad influences into a creative energy you can feel: The art of their noise supples as much dance motivation as their beats. On a typically atypical track like "Red Alert," a sharp, steady groove is subverted by a succession of P-Funk chanting, G-funk synth screeching, string-section interludes, furious bass doodles and sassy diva wails. "Bingo Bango" layers ska on top of salsa, while "U Can't Stop Me" suggests Missy Elliott knocking boots with Aphex Twin. Despite the diversity, Remedy radiates a personal vibe that no program could produce, and not only does it come with a lyric sheet, it also deserves one. This is house music that works at home.
