A set of incredibly diverse tracks, \u003cem\u003eRemedy\u003c\/em\u003e is indebted to the raw American house of Todd Terry and Masters at Work, and even shares the NuYoricans' penchant for Latin vibes (especially on the horn-driven \"Bingo Bango\" and the opener, \"Rendez-Vu,\" which trades a bit of salsa wiggle with infectious vocoderized disco). True, Ratcliffe and Buxton do sound more like an American production team than a pair of Brixton boys would -- they get props (and vocal appearances) from several of the best American house producers out there including DJ Sneak, Erick Morillo, and Benji Candelario. And \"U Can't Stop Me\" is an R\u0026amp;B production that could probably have gotten airplay in major rap markets across the U.S. Elsewhere, Buxton and Ratcliffe chew up and spit out mutated versions of hip-hop, ragga, Latin, R\u0026amp;B, soul, and garage -- the varied sound that defined the worldwide house scene of the late '90s. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/remedy-mw0000243592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, '\u003cem\u003eRemedy\u003c\/em\u003e' is probably as good a dance album (and that's dance as in, have a dance) as anyone from these Isles has produced this decade. Hate them that little bit more now? Come on, fight it. Imagine, instead, that you're fiddling through the radio band looking for something that, for a change, consistently surprises and lifts you. '\u003cem\u003eRemedy\u003c\/em\u003e' is that pirate. It's a wonderful new frequency where house, ragga, techno, soul, funk... Jesus, flamenco are all mashed together and it feels like some kind of perfect moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a soundtrack that starts frantically in the dead of night and progresses to a peaceful, if disoriented dawn. Here is beautifully melodic dance music that's free of pretensions, but rammed with bold intelligence; that hits you as hard in the guts as it does in the feet. It's an excellent ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts unconventionally with the folk techno barrage of 'Rendez-Vu', all flamenco guitars, vocoder and romantic longing, and really doesn't look back. Marvel at 'Jump'n'Shout''s heads-down\/hands-up ragga nuttiness (MC Slarta quite rightly scorning those who, \"never did know the rules\/They never did go to Basement Jaxx school\"). Laugh at the genius of turning The Selecter's 'On My Radio' into a punky hip-hop anthem on 'Same Old Show'. And wonder how Goldie can ever make another concept album now that his whole long-playing career has been so economically condensed into 'Always Be There''s spun-out six minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are some of the peaks on an album that really - save for 'Bingo Bango''s over-exuberant Latino outburst - doesn't have any dips. In fact '\u003cem\u003eRemedy\u003c\/em\u003e' describes itself accurately. Maybe it will cure the British dance disease of confusing intelligence with a need to journey up its own arse, and it highlights, once again, that musical boundaries are only there to be blurred. Above all, though, it blasts your petty prejudices clean out of the water. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130320185427\/http:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/artistKeyname\/958\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNME\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5l7GOQvdeovtIAFmaHXshb?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\u0026amp;si=764611b53f0f46f8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: XL Recordings\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Repress, Gold\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2022 \/ Originally Released: 1999\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: House, Hip-House, Latin, Breaks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: House \/ Electro \/ Techno\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XL Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67892099088542,"sku":"634904012908","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/R-25383718-1698609458-9082.jpg?v=1793441006","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/basement-jaxx-remedy-2022-coloured-vinyl-reissue","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
