Remedy

I’ve always seen the cover. It’s eye catching and provocative. Now I’ve heard the music too. It’s neither ear catching or provocative.

Lot of fun tracks here, solid electronic house

More audible garbage.

Not for me!

Thanks to this album I think I finally have an idea of how a regular person feels when you make them listen to Youth of Today or SSD

Boring, middle-of-zhe-road electronica. No groove, no dancefloor energy.

Favourite Songs: Yo-Yo Bingo Bango

Bland electronic music album that houses a couple of bangers and does not drag for too long. Sadly, I won't remember half this record in a month.

More mor electronica. Eeeehhh.

Q Magazine! Rendez Vu was on one of those sensational giveaway cds I've endlessly referenced on this here platform. I bought the album on the basis of that track and became a big fan. Clever, clever young men who crafted a great sound which because of the dance pop crossover was just a whole lot of fun. And a bit weird too. So it is absolutely smashing.

In the immortal words of Scroobius Pip: "Thou shalt not make repetitive, generic music Thou shalt not make repetitive, generic music Thou shalt not make repetitive, generic music Shalt not make repetitive, generic music" True that.

A few years back, at a Pixies concert, a friend made an absolutely wild comment: “There hasn't been a properly good band since 1978”. What a crazy statement. For a start, we were at a Pixies gig! The rest of us started to defend modern music by throwing out examples that he couldn't argue with. I mentioned Radiohead, Nirvana and a number of others. A friend of my fiancée’s butted in with “What about, like… um, Basement Jaxx??” That ended the argument immediately. Not because it was a profound statement… it was just baffling. I think I saw Frank Black do a double-take. I was a bit surprised to see “Remedy” appear on this list. But then again, Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock have turned up so… “Rendez-vu” is a decent song. Flamenco guitar mixes with big beats, which wasn't really a thing back in 1999. But it's been so overused on TV, that it's hard to listen to it now without it becoming a trope of itself. Most notably it soundtracks a scene set in a terrible Slough nightclub in The Office, and was a regular music bed for the terrible Sky One show Ibiza Uncovered. “Bingo Bango” is a similarly hard listen these days due to its TV associations, but more cringe-inducing. It's also linked to the Uncovered series and all of those equally terrible copycats. Both have, through no fault of their own, become the soundtrack to a terrible destination holiday you'd want to avoid. Songs like “Yo Yo” and “Red Alert” are good craic, while songs like “Jump ‘N’ Shout” are absolute cringe. Overall, it's… fine. If someone asked me if I liked Basement Jaxx, I'd say “yeah, they're grand”. They're not bad, in the same way that a Hollywood popcorn movie can pass a couple of hours. Not the kind of thing I'd be rushing to put on again or recommend to a friend, though. Not one I'd expect to be included in a list of 1001 albums you must hear before you die. And definitely not a band that'd come to mind as the definitive example to defend modern music against a ridiculous argument.

Boring. I do like Electronica, but this was bad. Each song is meandering around with no real purpose, dull beats, dull lyricsm dull production.

I had heard of Basement Jaxx but never been a huge fan of electro so I never heard an album before! What an experience! The songs are so diverse and full of soul that you can see their influences hanging and adding to the textures and sound. I have a theory that 1999 was one of the richer years in music and this justbprooves that. Will definitely listen to more of their albuns. 4/5

The era of techno that my friends loved and I despised. This album reminded me why I went to see bands while they went to dance clubs.

It was nice to have some variety but if the number of dance and electronic albums in the list is limited since you clearly think blues rock is the best music ever, then surely you can find something better than Basement Jaxx to fulfil that requirement? I was not a fan of them at the time. I am still not a fan of them now.

I’m going to continue the trend so far and be quite harsh on electronic music so far during this process and I say that with it being one of my favourite genres. Basement Jaxx have some decent singles but their album tracks tend to be lacking and Remedy is no different. The interludes are pretty crap and for every ‘Bingo Bango’ unfortunately there is a ‘Jump ‘n Shout’. Some of the samples and styles used are a bit more interesting (that bit of flamenco in ‘rendez-vous’ for example) but it’s otherwise kept afloat by the singles alone.

Interesting

not my scene but I’d be happy to stumble upon it!

esencial house/dance/electrónico de los 90s, excelente para el gym y agradable 3.7

*Nothing overly excited but decent dance/electronica music

Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Not a must listen for me but I’m sure it’s some people’s bag.

I’ve had more than enough of this electronic garbage and awful singing.

ganz nett, aber mit der Zeit wirds nervig

genuinely don't understand the reverence for Remedy. This is less an album than a sensory assault—a collection of hyperactive loops, shrieking vocals, and gaudy production that feels engineered to induce a panic attack. Calling it "the soundtrack to a nightmare" isn't hyperbole; it's 57 minutes of being trapped in a fluorescent-lit nightclub while every room blasts a different song at full volume. The duo throws house, Latin rhythms, funk, disco, and pop into a blender, but instead of eclecticism, it comes across as pure chaos. � AllMusic +1 There's almost no room to breathe. Every track is desperate to be louder, busier, and more obnoxious than the last, leaving the entire record exhausting rather than exhilarating. Even the melodies that occasionally threaten to emerge are buried beneath layers of cartoonish excess. By the end, I wasn't humming any tunes—I was simply relieved it was over.

Zie mijn review van "Take Me Apart" van Kelela. "Two stars for some interesting sonic distractions."

Just the most three album that's ever existed. It sounded nice but I barely registered t was even playing. I think I even listened through twice....but there's no way of knowing

Honestly pretty darn good. Very refreshing listen. The whole vibe is great and there's quite a few good songs on here.

I can’t quite put my finger on it. Two stars…

Really fun record.

Første halvdelen er knallsterk. Mye energi og lekne ideer. Det er i hvertfall 4 låter som kan sløyfes mot slutten.

Hadde stor forhåpninger men dette var tynne greier. En av de beste konsertene jeg har vært på.

Egentlig ei kjedelig plate, men med et par høydepunkter som får ting til å svinge.

Good background music at work but likely not something I’m going to listen to again. It was a bit mid compared to other electronic music out there.

Liked Song(s): (None) Disliked Song(s): Yo Yo, U Can't Stop Me, Stop 4 Love, Don't Give Up, Being With U Recommend? No Heard Before? No

I quite like Basement Jaxx when younger. I also regretted missing their Glastonbury headline set in 2005 (when they replaced Kylie) but did see Primal Scream beforehand drunkenly insult them. Anyway, Rendez-Vous and Red Alert are great singles. And as a starting song, I'm all for dance music using real instruments prominently. But unfortunately there are reasons they are singles and the rest of the album is fine but inconsistent. The penultimate song Don't Give Up was almost a challenge. I think I didn't hate it in the end.

i was intrigued at first but then it just kept going

Being familiar with, and even partly fond of some of the singles on his album did not prepare me for how incredibly dull the other tracks are. I've no idea how the people who made these other tracks ever hit the inspiration to make red alert, a track that sat brilliant in the funk pop of the era. The bad ones here stripped away any joy I got from the big singles. I remember skipping the jaxx's headline set at Glastonbury when they replaced Kylie and I can confidently say now that I made the correct decision.

Absolutely not my genre, but this wasn't bad. My buddies who were into this kind of music listened to Lords of Acid, which was basically a filthier version of this.

Wasn't really vibing with this for some reason, and I normally like/tolerate house music. Vocals/lyrics in house music aren't often that important or impactful, but I found them to simply be too distracting or hindering here. The track with the moaning samples wasn't it, for example. I also just found most of the album grating to listen to in general. House/electronica is meant to be repetitive of course, but it SHOULD be a satisfying loop that you can get lost in. I didn't feel that here. Not sure how this is considered influential to be honest, there are simply better house & electronica albums from the 90's.

Muito bom, muito intenso. deu uma energizada boa no meu dia e nas coisas que precisava fazer. definitivamente não é algo que escuto com frequência mas muito bom anyway

Red Alert and Rendez-Vu are some tracks but the rest of the album is kinda filler in my opinion

Not a House fan, but this a bit better. Not much though, but nice to have more electronic music on here. 3 Heard before? Some Owned: No, 97/369 (26%) Will I get: No

Not interested.

I think this was just fine

Pretty awesome to start and then seems to drag. It's too long.

This album is for somebody, I don't know who? It's certainly not me, I sampled a few tracks and couldn't even get to the end of a single song. Gave up.

This album will always have a special place in my heart. Part of it is definitely nostalgia, but the other part is that the music has aged pretty well and is still fun to listen to even 25 years later. When this album came out, I was getting into a lot of house and speed garage. When I played this for the first time, it was so much different from all the DJ mixtapes I had at the time. This was the album that really exposed me to UK-style garage and house music.

Very strange… close to being good but not rly

I need a dark bar with flashing lights and overpriced drinks to begin to get into this album. And I’d rather go to one that is remixing and sampling music I like.

I think I’ve made it clear already at this point how I feel about this general type of album. This one was a bit of fun in a few places. Not really enough to justify the hour-long runtime though

Late 90s electronica. Debut.

I expected to like this album much more than I did

LOTS of bangers on this one idc what anybody says. Really love the dancehall & 90s reggae elements added in, though it does feel a bit like appropriation. At least he does something with it! *shrugs* Another album that clearly influenced a lot of modern shit so it deserves a few flowers for that. Highlights: Yo Yo, Red Alert

Another giant in my collection. It’s a party in a box, maybe my favorite front-to-back electronic dance album. They have such a great command of dynamics and whimsy, and songs don’t linger too long without something new happening in the mix. As a result it doesn’t overstay its welcome and I find it endlessly listenable. If you’re into this, they did a BBC One show set in the late 90s/early 00s mixing this with Rooty, and it’s dynamite. Also I think they snuck their legendary remix of Missy Elliott’s “4 My People” in there making it a pretty complete collection of their best work.

First time listening to this, liked a few beats as background driving music, but probably won't be returning to this too often. Glad to have checked it out.

Just okay nothing special here.

There is a lot of EDM on this list. Does Roger Troutman know these guys have his talkbox? I'd prefer Zapp to this. Every techno album is long. Dancehall Reggae has a soft spot in my heart and I'm kind of loving Jump 'N Shout. The album cover is the definition of nuts to butts. Same Old Show is catchy as hell. This is not an album you put on sitting around with friends....unless it's right before an orgy.

Always had a soft spot for basement jaxx. They were my introduction to dance and electronica along with groove armada, audio bullys and chemical brothers. Nice bit of nostalgia

Half of this is extremely boring, as I expected. But the other half is actually really good! One of the songs even sounds like Water From Your Eyes, except 25 years early!

The genre of edm doesn't do much for me, but this feels technically complex and is less monotonous than many edm albums or compilations I have heard. Also i love the punny interludes (the jazzaude in particular) so 3 stars for creativity and competence.

Some fun tunes.

Not super my thing. 5.5/10

🥳👩🏻‍🐰‍👩🏾🫯📢🔥

so irritating hairs will raise and ears will bleed why did I come here?

It was alright

This is #day710 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… how about some pedestrian late '90s electronica? Honestly, this feels more like a joke than a serious entry on the list. No, thanks. This is a 1 out of 5. Looking forward to #day711.

There’s a good groove to most of these songs. I’m not sure they achieve what they wanted. It stills seems like white dudes making electronic dance music. It’s good but great.

The interludes were more interesting than the actual song tracks.

Umm… lots of beats and autotune

A mixed bag. Overall, good. ★★★

Not terrible, but terribly long for what it is. 2.5/5.0: Mixed

i went in to this knowing and liking one song by basement jaxx but with the preconceived notion that i probably wouldnt like this. after listening, i think it was an interesting take on the genre but i didnt love it. i think if it were 15 minutes shorter i could give it a 4

Loved this!

5/10

More dance than electronica, this is interesting and definitely has some fun tracks. As usual with these DJ records, I lost interest about half way through. Too repetitive for my taste

A nice album, that I would only listen to a few key tracks/singles (Red Alert)

a mix of absolute bangers with weird experimental noise

I don't think I've ever listened to Basement Jaxx before. From what I gather, they're an electronic music duo that rose to prominence in the London underground house scene during the mid-1990s. In fact, their popularity and connections grew to the point where they opened for Daft Punk for their first concert tour. Off the back of that and their successful single "Fly Life", Basement Jaxx landed a record deal with XL, which led to this debut record, Remedy. The work of Felix Burton and Simon Ratcliffe on this debut is very much akin to what Daft Punk and other house groups were doing at the time, characterized by snappy four-on-the-floor beats, electronic flourishes, simplistic vocal phrases, and elements borrowed from European disco. Yet, the vocal cadences and production tend to be more aggressive in their approach to getting someone on the dance floor. The way I hear someone like Slarta John with his rap flow while hyped on by Madman Swyli over the busy chopped-up beats of "Jump N' Shout" or Yvonne John Lewis's braggadocious delivery over the stop-and-go breakbeats on "U Can't Stop Me" or even Blue James's agency in urging listeners not to panic and keep the good times going on "Red Alert" all carry this aggro, rebellious energy to them in alignment with the hard-hitting music that fits the sweaty rave club vibes. There is some reprieve in the middle with Monday Michiru's subtle affectations over the Ibiza-esque chill whirs on "Always Be There", and it's moments like that, the buildup with the minimal repeated vocal phrases on "Same Old Show", Ugo Delminari's keyboard playing against the prominent horns of "Bingo Bango", and the instrumental clashes of "Stop 4 Love" that give this record a great deal of depth and variety. Granted, I didn't care much for the interludes as they didn't offer much to the overall experience, and "Yo-Yo" towards the beginning definitely overstayed its welcome. But more often than not, I was genuinely impressed with the soundscapes found on here. Overall, Basement Jaxx made quite the splash with Remedy. The duo employed enough artistic merit to elevate their particular style of house music.

90's axe commercial

Only thing worse than electronica is bad electronica.

Habrá generado un impacto importante en la vida de las personas, pero no en la mía. Es escuchable, por eso es un 2, pero no tiene nada que ver conmigo.

this album is crazy; the sounds found here are so diverse i can genuinely hear its influences in modern electronic artists’ music

No fav song

Bobbin' my head!

Honestly I vibed

effervescent!

3.5/5 (but I'll round up to four): There were a lot of funk elements to this album which I liked and a bunch of danceable songs. The album was pretty varied and used some interesting sounds from different styles of music. Sometimes I was not a fan of the sounds or vocals but it is cool how they used different vocalists. Other than Same Old Show and Yo Yo Yo, I enjoyed the songs and especially liked Jump N' Shout and Red Alert. Some of the creative choices I did not like but either way there were interesting to listen to. Rendez Vu 4/5: Cool how the acoustic guitar and electronic elements are mixed, satsying beat drop. Weird robot vocals. Second drop is even cooler Yo Yo 2.75/5: Nice dance beat with funky bassline, the yo yo yo part is kinda cringe though and runied the song for me, the random sounds are kinda cool adds variety Jump N' Shout 4.25/5: I have no clue what the dude is saying but I like his delivery. This beat is the most danceable so far. The jump and shout hook is good and cool rhytmns in the song U Can't Stop Me 3.75/5: Intruiging intro, it is cool they have different vocalists. I like the bass 808 sounding riff in the chorus. That sound also sounds very satisying. Jaxxalude: idk, its an interlude with a funny name Red Alert: 4.5/5 The pauses were unexpected of complete silence but a cool affect. It gets funky as hell, I love the bassline. Honestly just a bop Jazzalude: Cool jazzy loop and I wish it went on longer into a full song Always Be There 3/5: Intro is a little long for my taste, not a fan of this beat as much of the other songs, but cooly echo vocal effects. Got a bit bored during this song Sneakalude: Nice Same Old Show 1.5/5: really not a fan of the moaning noise and it just keeps repeating, also not a huge fan of the lil john sounding scream. Mostly the same loop the whole time that I didn't really like. Bingo Bango: 3.5/5 I like the brass sounds and cuban sounding piano with the electronic drums and bass. The bing bing bango line is kinda annoying. Build up to the end of the song is nice Gemilude: cool Stop 4 Love 3.75/5: A more chill laid back track with some relaxing synths and strings but than some other interesting noises come in later. The violin on the later part of the track is an interesting addition. Don't Give Up 3/5: Weird vocals, almost sounds like dubstep to me (idk much about electronic music though) Gets a little boring though but surprising ending with piano I really liked Being With You 3.5/5: Nice synth loop, the vocalist has a relaxing voice

Sounded like something Schmidt would listen to

Bit too Fluffy for me

Not for me. 1/5

Pour seconder Félix: grosse diarrhée.

Absolute vomit

Encore du brit anglais? Pass.

Vette house

Actually great working in an excel sheet album for me!

Fun!

I like my dance music to feel like I've had way too many drugs. This is a little bit clean and inoffensive in that sense. Some good pop music bangers here but I want more drugs!

Se deja oir, pero no aporta nada.

maybe this would hit in the club

Very interesting cover and songs were too much for me

i love red alert

There's genuinely two good-ish tracks on here. The rest is shit played in late bars in the city, back when we used to drink Jagerbombs and pretend our heels weren't killing our feet. It’s that generic that even our parents said "ooh this is a good dancey song!"

Not bad

It's easy to hate on 90's electronic dance and that's what I'm going to do. Remove the vocals and this maybe becomes more digestible, but still the production sounds like a teenager who got access to a recording software and is trying to make all sounds happen at once.

another neither up nor down trip with this mediocre outing

Did not care for this one. Not bad, just not for me.

Not good

it is one of the records that helped show late-90s electronic music could be messy, colorful, funny, hyperactive, soulful, and wildly musical without losing the club pulse. A lot of dance music gets sorted into neat boxes — house, techno, trip-hop, whatever — but Remedy feels like Basement Jaxx just threw the walls down and said, “what if all of it is a party?” You get house grooves, UK club energy, ragga and Latin touches, big diva vocals, weird samples, rubbery basslines, and this constant sense that anything could pop into the mix. This was okay. A little random and drum and bassy for me but it was good. I really wish the scale was 1-10 because I feel like I give way too many 3s. 3 stars.

I think I'm not that into electronic music or something. This wasn't experimental enough to be interesting or mainstream enough to be really catchy, thus leaving it in electric limbo.

90s chart dance music is littered with one hit wonders with a seemingly universal formula of: 442 beat, ethereal synths, one hook on loop and a female vocalist. Thankfully Basement Jaxx provide something more innovative. Soul, Reggae and hip hop influences all combine on this party record. Slightly over long and dancefloor ready electro is my usual bag. Still good 3/5

Basement Jaxx do “hype” particularly well. I particularly like Jump ‘n’ Shout which gets stuck into a striking, darkly manic groove and of course the iconic Red Alert and Bingo Bango, which are the clear standout singles. Remedy also has its weak spots though, some of the lower energy songs work, but all of the worst moments (e.g. Same Old Show) arrive when they are noodling about in wait of their next big punchy hook. If they had trimmed the fat and turned in a tight 40 minutes I think this would be held up as a classic LP.

Solid 2 for me, i enjoyed the big singles and the ambient last quarter but actively disliked the rest: generally the type of EDM that makes me check out the other room at the club

daft punk cover duvidoso ass music é ruim galera, e não faz sentido nenhum um álbum que tocaria na renner estar nessa lista (a curadoria da renner é boa na verdade) é tão genérico que minha aspirina se sentiu ofendida e foi embora aqui de casa

concordo com o amigo, a playlist da renner é melhor que isso aqui enfim, red alert foi a única que achei interessante. o resto foi um SACO, pprt

Absolutely not

Good album.

Maybe I am becoming desensitized because it feels like there is essentially nothing I like about this but I still don't hate it? There is enough variety that it keeps you engaged. It's like being caught in a doom scroll of social media content you don't like. Nothing is appealing but somehow it taps into your ancestral senses and feeds a slow dopamine drip into your head.

I am not a fan of electronica or dance music at all. I normally find it incredibly boring and formulaic at best and outright annoying at worst. That said, this album doesn't fall into the same boring and repetitive 4-on-the-floor bass/snare pattern on every single track. There are interesting rhythms and embellishments throughout that made the tracks feel like they were evolving and prevented the album from ever feeling too repetitive. Which is to say, this album was at least tolerable, but I'm still not really a fan and it went on a little too long. I was pretty much checked out at the halfway point and I didn't really need a track of moaning for 6 minutes, but I did finish it!

This album has songs you could get down to at a wedding reception, songs you could jam out to in the car, and songs you could do cocaine in the bathroom of a dingy berlin club to. 4/5, it has a little something for everyone

What the British gen x music critics who curated this list see in 90s UK house, I'm sure I don't know.

Listening to this at 7am, after a tough night with my baby, and I cannot help dancing in the kitchen to Rendez-Vous. Great start.

Yet another headscratcher UK album that makes the T1001. I've never listened to anything they've done outside the amazing "Where's Your Head At" (which I can still remember where I was the days I first heard it). "Rendez-Vu" (4.6M listens) is ok, repetitive dancy vanilla stuff without much meat on the bone. The fan favorites are "Jump N' Shout"(1.6M), their hit (I use that loosely in the US) "Red Alert" (10M) which I've never heard & "Bingo Bango" (1.8M). Maybe this was awesome at the clubs back in '99?! "Yo Yo", "Jump N' Shout", "U Can't Stop Me", "Same Old Show", & "Bingo Bango" are just plain awful. The repetition is debilitating - this is stuff they use to torture prisoners at Guantanamo. NOTHING about this album justifies a spot on a Top 3003 list, this is just soulless beat music for people at clubs on drugs. 1 star, not good.

Um ótimo álbum com vibes de pop

Extremamente revolucionário, seja por suas batidas modernas, seja por sua capa disruptiva.

Eh, it was fine. Nothing particularly special though. Kind of repetitive and definitely felt of its era.

Starting up this album and listening to Rendez-Vous after a while reminds you how good that song is and gives you the hope that this whole album is going to surprise you. About half-way through the next song Yo-yo, you're quickly disabused of that notion and realize that there are going to be a lot of ups and downs through this album. Unfortunately more downs. Red Alert and Bingo Bango still tickle the dancy nostalgia but this one really doesn't hold up overall. There are a lot of interesting ideas and clearly this is a talented duo who were really trying some weird stuff and when it works it's great.

Too much heavy breathing- there is a banger or two, but some of it is also hard to listen to.

This is great! I thought it feels like early electronica/ hip hop, and it has that vibe for sure. Maybe sure, a little club going on... definitely unique, lots of different people featured, vocals, mixes, it is a lot like DJ music like techno beats and all but more melodic. I really like this stuff! Huh, great find, great find!

Notable: - Rendez-Vu

Could not get into this one. There were almost some okay tracks, the more famous Red Alert being one, but the rest had so much random noises and crap thrown in it just ruined it for me. Also all the tracks sound disjointed. I wouldn't have known these were by the same artists if they weren't all on the same album. 1 star.

A genre that can be very hit or miss for me. For me, this is a miss. Grating and repetitive and annoying without ever being interesting. Maybe if I was drunk in the club, the album would be fun to listen to? Since I don't go the club, I will simply never know. Rating: .5

This wasn’t good. Can’t see the justification for this being on the list.

Some of you dorks need to lighten up

All the songs sounded the same

I really liked the beat and groove of the first four tracks. Then it slowly fell apart, with Same Old Show being the worst offender.

Some kind of a Dancey good time. I had some problems with this today. I think it was probably down to the headphones I was trying to listen to through. Some parts of the record felt disappointingly lightweight compared to other parts which really swung. I guess some parts were designed for big commercial radio play vs deeper cuts. I kind of thing with better equipment we're probably looking at a consistently fun record. Some real fun bass stuff.

I gave it one, because I could not give it zero. I hate you for making me listen to this utter shit.

This is basically music I pretended to like in clubs at uni. Outside of a shitty club somewhere I can't think of a single scenario I would want to listen to this again. It's not absolutely dreadful by any means, but to me it blurs into a non stop mix of boring club electronica beats, with minimal highlights to remember the album by. Red Alert and Bingo Bango are the only songswith anything genuinely interesting to them.

The most basic electronic/techno music you'll hear. Like if a low budget basic cable TV show needed generic "club music," this is what they would play. I didn't mind the track "Jump N' Shout."

I really hate the song with the moaning. Overall pretty mediocre and I even like electronic music. 2/5

Odd but not too bad.

That was so shit I am not writing a review for this. Top three: Jazzalude

I wouldn't mind this in a certain context. I'll need to revisit this one.

Groovy beats

Really terrible, throwaway dance music. Sure you can dance to it, but it’s totally unmemorable. A 1.

This is another record that isn't really to my taste. It's touring a number of popular electronic dance subgenres and is fairly well done, It's just not really for me. There are a few exceptions. I liked Red Alert, Bingo Bango and a few others. Same Old Show was pretty tedious on the other hand.

Danceable which I like but still not my jam

WHEEEEERES YOURRR HEADDDD ATTTT (wrong album) Meh (this album) The synth distortion on the 2nd last track Don't Give Up was neat

Some absolute bangers, but some filler.

Pues me ha animado mi tarde de trabajo

I just don’t like this. It’s not bad, it’s just…not good. Same thing over and over, doesn’t go anywhere.

It's electronic noise to me; it must be music to some others, else why is it here?. I'll not be back for a second listen, though I did appreciate Red Alert. It gets a 2 for me.

This is a compilation of annoying sounds. I can't.

An album I own, which always means I'm a bit biased...but I must say I was disappointed. While I love Rendez-Vu, Red Alert and Bingo Bango, the rest of the album was no better than middling, and in some cases pretty dull.

Did I need the female moans in Same Old Show while eating breakfast? I sure didn't. Also the rest of this album was kind of boring.

An electronic album that wasn’t repetitive? Golly you spoil me. This was decent and I enjoyed my time with it. Had some pretty tight grooves, good flows and fun beats. Although I was ready to move on by the end of it.

This is insane, sounds like a perfect DJ's playlist filled with enough variety to keep the club going, but it's one cohesive album as well. Bingo Bango is probs my favorite, but I'm sure everyone will give a different answer after I show everybody I know this.

This is probably great if you're a big fan of this type of music. I'm not the biggest fan but it's not bad.

Not bad at all, I mean, annoying to listen at home, this is music to mive your feat to - and outdaten one at that, but really fun seeing what these guys came up with. Nice samples and distortions, really ahead of their time considering the release year 1997. Inspiration for every hobby-MC trying to learn

Fun!

Compared to this shit spotify ads are real bangers.

2 1/2 stars. There a couple of good songs.

I liked listening to this but immediately forgot about it when it ended. Not bad.

Some of these albums are questionable selections. They're not bad, but they're too mediocre for this list. This is one of those.

this is the shit! XL records forever baby!!!

Fine. Easy listen, not much meat on the bone.

in a club, sure. as an album, nah. It is pretty ahead of it's time because it sound like todays tech house. but allot of formulas that worked before still works on the dance floor today. Bingo Bango would absolutely work in a tech house set. as a listening experience it is hard to judge it. it's not bad but it is not something that sticks, I'd rather watch a DJ set instead of an album when it comes to electronic dance music.

Decent album, but doesn’t belong on the list

Ugh…………. It’s fine. It’s whatever. The 90s electronic music is a bit of a drag.

Not for me. Some good bits.

Basement Jaxx were on the cusp on being a dance act I cared about. Like The Prodigy or Chemical Brothers or Massive Attack, they were making hits but unlike those acts, BJ's songs more quickly outstayed their welcome, were vastly more irritating, and were nowhere near as good. They were the middle class chav's choice of dance music. As such, this was a huge hit at the time and you couldn't escape it from the radio, the car, the club....Then again, there's a nip on the front cover. A bonus point for the half-assed attempt at making this a concept album. The songs sound as good or as bad as they always did.

House music that's got a good beat, nothing remarkable for me.

shoulda chosen Rooty

That was cool, pretty nostalgic actually.

Not bad but not great

Electronic strange music.

We have daft punk at home

Not a fan

It’s taking me so long to listen to this album I’m done next

Brahh. Not my thing. Maybe if I was hammered at a club.

I was enjoying this, then it got repetitive. I was finding myself moving to the groovin but after a while I gave up, I think I stopped paying attention during that song that had the weird ass moans.

A bit obnoxious this one for some reason, it's not complete garbage though, some nice moments, and I like French house influence. However, can't seem to be able to give this one more than 2 stars.

Eh not for me, kinda bad edm

2.7 doesn’t quite hit

I just wasn’t in the mood for it. 2

Brit dance duo, IB, don't use drums Rendez vu

I think it’s kind of fun, not sure it’s my favorite but it isn’t a total assault on my ears

this album is over 25 years old. which proves that music being old is not equal to good music..

This was what I’d imagine soundtrack of a douchebag would be. It was awful. My kids asked why do I torture myself by forcing myself to listen to the whole thing when it sucks. This is the shitty music from every 90s movie set in a dance club but all at once.

I could really do without the moaning in Same Old Show, but otherwise this is a pretty decent example of late 90s electronica.

6/10 If memory serves me right, Basement Jaxx are one of those groups that, on their best form, create a superb blend of funk, house and pop. To be honest, I fully expected to listen to this and find it had aged poorly and was overly repetitive with a lot of filler, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that, during its strongest moments, it sounded fresh, funky and fun. As an electronic music lover, I find that mainstream dance music often falls into the trap of being overly repetitive and unchanging, particularly when it’s written with clubbing in mind. Luckily, my memories of Basement Jaxx’s best work largely held true. They use a skilled hand to throw together synths and samples into a melting pot of styles, delivered with some really excellent hooks. They typically have a varied and interesting production style that rarely allows their tracks to fall into the overly repetitive dance music hole, with their abundance of variations and use of ear candy keeping things pretty fresh most of the time. The singles are really where this album shines, with Red Alert being the absolute killer cut to my mind. On those singles, they manage to almost feel like the hyperactive younger British cousin of Daft Punk, grabbing samples like that Red Alert slap bass, and weaving them in to pop-house bangers. They have a great ear for hooks and across those singles, they toss them out with wilful abandon. Unfortunately, and this is a typical crime of the 90s, this album is a tad long, and there is a little too much filler for my liking. I’m certainly glad they released a CD version, which strips back the extended club mixes for more radio (and home listening) friendly cuts, but there’s still a little too much waffle in there. Not that it’s all bad, but there are moments where things drift, or songs don’t quite fully connect, despite having quality work within them. I’d make an argument that Rooty, the follow up to this is actually a stronger album, but the singles on this do show how good they could be. Rendez-Vu - It’s a solid start. Funky house beats, pop-music melodies and a really good blend of instruments both sampled and synthesised. There’s enough variation through the sections that it doesn’t fall into the dance music track of being too repetitive, which is helped by the more traditional song structure of the arrangement. It’s got a cool swing and swagger to it, but it also doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yo-yo - A decent beat, and that main “yo-yo” hook is solid. There’s a really crunchy, distorted bass in here that’s deliciously filthy too. They’re pretty clever at keeping things fresh by cycling parts in and out so things don’t become too stale. The verse type sections in this are a bit bland by comparison to the better stuff on the record, but this still isn’t bad. Jump N' Shout - There’s a nice bounce to this and it’s good fun, if a little stale and repetitive in places. Some more nice tonal blends, but I’d say the brashness of this overpowers perhaps a touch too much, especially for at-home listening. I appreciate that it’s more of a personal preference, but this didn’t do too much for me. U Can't Stop Me - And now we dip into UK garage. It’s a cool slow groove with some nice production touches, particularly on the snare and some of the ear candy they use to keep things interesting. I like the way the rhythms are delivered, giving it an intentionally halting feel that works well with that garage hi-hat pattern. It could probably do with a bit more variation into different directions here and there, but it’s still not bad. Jaxxalude - A nice little interlude. Not much to say about it, but it does what it does. Red Alert - And this is a complete classic. I think this single is probably the first electronic music I ever bought. Bringing together funk stylings, house beats and pop sensibilities, it’s a quality blend. The bass sample from Locksmith’s Far Beyond is epic and it’s stuffed full of great hooks all over the gaff. The vocal line is great, the sound design is layered and bombastic, even the little string breakdown is lovely. I’ve not got a bad word to say about this track. Jazzalude - Again, a nice enough interlude, but not much to discuss. Always Be There - It’s a nice change of pace to something almost verging on the side of trip-hop. There’s some great stuff here, but with the more atmospheric, slow vibe that this goes for, I feel like the ADHD, scattergun production and editing style that works well for the dancier tracks takes a bit away from the core of the song, rather than enhancing it. This is also too long. I can see what they were going for here, but it just doesn’t quite connect for me. Sneakalude - See my comments on the other interludes. Same Old Show - This takes a bit too long to get going, and that moan vocal sample is too loud and distracting. In fact, they have started to fall into that overly repetitive, unvaried dance music trap with this one. It is slowly, slowly building, but it’s just a bit boring at this point and I’m only 2 minutes in to a 6 minute track. Sorry, this one’s just boring. Bingo Bango - Yeah, we’re back on it now. A nice blend of latin style with that Basement Jaxx house groove. Weirdly, they do use a piano sample in there that has a bit of natural swing that doesn’t quite gel with the straight beat, which is a touch distracting when it’s more exposed. Other than that, though, this is prime party pop-dance music, and avoids repetition thanks to their continued use of ear candy and variable layering. Gemilude - Another interlude! Stop 4 Love - This is a cool blend of a chilled out ambient bed and more experimental percussion and other sporadic elements. There’s plenty in there to keep you invested in where it’s going next, although I kind of feel like the underlying musical bed could do with a touch more prominence and variation. That being said, I think this was a decent effort at doing something different and interesting on the record. Don't Give Up - Again, I quite like the sound design and more restrained approach to this, but it doesn’t quite get it right, having to many sections where things lull and others where things just get a little too stale. As with Always Be There, there’s a rumbling element of trip-hop to this that’s teasing me and hooking me in, but it doesn’t quite connect despite there being sections that I really like. Being With U - This has a decent chilled vibe. The synth blends are nice, the vocals are a bit bland and meandering. The more eccentric electronic moments jar a little bit, and it’s just a little bit dull. We close out with a bit of a whimper.

The highs were high, the lows were low. Can see why the picked the hits to release, strong points were when the female vocals features. Underwhelming the rest

There is a lot of EDM on this list. Does Roger Troutman know these guys have his talkbox? I'd prefer Zapp to this. Every techno album is long. Dancehall Reggae has a soft spot in my heart and I'm kind of loving Jump 'N Shout. The album cover is the definition of nuts to butts. Same Old Show is catchy as hell. This is not an album you put on sitting around with friends....unless it's right before an orgy.

This is such a sonically strange experience but I’m enjoying it! The beat in rendez-vu and how it slowed down in the middle was great. Yo yo was, for lack of a better term, exactly as advertised. I didn’t expect there to be a more hip hop coded song in here, but Jump n Shout was there, and I honestly liked it. Red Alert was totally something I felt I could dance to! Same old show was slightly uncomfortable to listen to with the moaning, but that’s just personal preference. Stop 4 love had some lovely synth to it. It was calmer than the other tracks which I thought was nice. A good break. Don’t give up was alright. Being with you was a beautiful closer! I think this album really shines in its slower moments. 3.5/5 ⭐️ 125/1089

I’m a house fan, but this album didn’t really stand out at all. Decent dancing music, but unremarkable.

L: 1 M: 5 F:4 O: 3

I can hear the influence of this album! I've heard so many pieces before in various remixes

An okay album, I liked Red Alert the most..

This didn’t cure anything for me.

Standard 90’s club/dance album. Not bad, just not my thing.

Fine, but I find myself getting a bit bored one or two minutes before each song finished and pretty tired by the time the whole album was done. A couple of tracks were OK, but overall I was surprised by how boring this was

2 EDM albums in a row? god have mercy... though, perhaps it's because the previous one was so awful, this one was at least tolerable.

a ver que es raro y distinto te lo doy, pero mas temas me irritaron q no, igual no es mi estilo musical tampoco asique nada. tiene algo medio rari bueno, pero en general no

Some highs but the lows are abysmal

Not bad, fairly unremarkable. Good in the right context

Nice enough with some nice moments. RIP Slarta John, love Jump ‘N Shout

Listening to this on my own with headphones is surely not the best way to experience this album. Was also very hit or miss.

Really like basement jaxx, never heard this album, except for like one song, but this as a whole was great!

A few jams, and seemed pretty far ahead of its time in 1999. Sometimes it did seem like they just had a tapdancer on a midipad. Fave song: Red Alert, Being With U

Don’t really consider electronic music as something I would sit and listen to for an entire album but interesting as a collection of beats, rhythms and sounds.

It's House music. It has its place on the dancefloor, but I don't like much House except Daft Punk and Praga Khan. Though this album does have more going on in the production than most tracks on Daft Punk's Homework released the same year, the latter caught my attention with Da Funk and Around the World, both catchy tunes with equally mesmerizing music videos. Some of this reminds me of DJ Shadow. I like the salsa horns and upbeat tone of Bingo Bongo, and Being With U could be mistaken for an Outkast song.

This was cool as hell

I bet that if I listened to this high on ecstasy in a club surrounded by other people dancing it’d be a pretty great album. Unfortunately I’m listening to it cold dead sober in my living room surrounded only by my sleeping dogs

Yeah, no.

It's a fine album, probably something I would play if I had a house party, but not something I would listen to when I'm alone. Favorites: Yo-Yo Jump N Shout Same Old Show

I wasn't that familiar with Basement Jaxx beyond "Where's Your Head At?" which wasn't even on this album. Greatly enjoyed this album. Reminded me a lot of Daft Punk, but...better? Yeah, better. This is almost a 5* album for me, but there were a couple tracks later in the album that didn't quite hit for me. Probably would be a 4.5.

Where's Your Head At is an inspired sample. this one doesn't have Where's Your Head At.

Imagine the closing shot of The Graduate. Instead of Simon and Garfunkel, Basement Jaxx and Chemical Brothers and Saint Etienne and Sabres of Paradise and Orbital and Death in Vegas and Barry Adamson and Happy Mondays and The Young Gods and Underworld and Heaven 17 and Massive Attack and Moby and LTJ Bukem and Red Snapper and Fatboy Slim and Coldcut and William Orbit and Portishead and David Holmes and Nightmares on Wax and Goldie and the KLF and Leftfield and Roni Size and Stereo MCs are all playing at the same time. The bride is Robert Dimery. The groom is Me.

early house is a mess, glad daft punk figured it out Would I listen again: yes unfortunately this is my taste Deserves to be on this list: I guess 3.4

Electrónica mezclada con ruidos de chillidos, te sientes en una fiesta clandestina pero esta soleado, fiesta de swingers pero con mucha luz, me lo imagino con sol y viejitos, pero conforme va avanzando el álbum, la vibra se vuelve más tranquila y alucinogena.

3.8. This was a ton of fun. Kept me on my toes but I enjoyed my time with it. Would listen to the whole thing again

House music, but you used things in an actual house as instruments. This record sounds chaotic and all over the place; I could see this being played in a dance party when it's loud and people care more about dancing to a beat than listening to it in their spare times. "Yo Yo" made me chuckle, it's bad 🥀. But most of the songs are pretty tolerable... then I got to "Same Old Show" 😭. Thankfully "Bingo Bango", which sounds like the name to some new brain rot, was much better (2.5-3).

Creo q es el primer álbum que podría decir que realmente no me gustó

Pleasant and dreamy

Lo sentí como música de hotel.

Terrible. I thought the last electronic album was bad but this is a whole nother level. Most songs are just rly annoying and basic. Nothing that rly catches my eye at all. Bad album 3.4/10

Hyperactive house and UK garage-infused dance music built on chopped samples, elastic basslines, busy percussion, and exuberant, varied vocals explodes with restless energy. Listening feels like jumping between crowded rooms at a chaotic party where every track competes for attention at once, resulting in constant overwhelming and unfocused motion.

это именно та музыка, которую я, мягко говоря, не люблю.

I enjoyed it. sounded like the tipical europop stuff I listened to when I was a kid. :)

Not the fucking robot vocals. It’s as annoying as a chipmunk voice. This sucks

I like it. Its not awesome, its very chart friendly, but there won't be any thumping dance music on here, so I'll take what I can get.

Började bättre men tröttnade mot slutet.. Men det kanske är så det blir med all house musik...

Overall I don't think music like this is meant to be listened to outside of it's intended context. There are obviously exceptions, however, this is not an exception to me. Repetitive beats and forgettable lyrics are good for vibes in a dance setting, but not satisfying to listen to unless the beats are incredibly catchy, which these were not to me. I only found myself nodding my head once during Bingo Bango.

Liked it, old school house.

Red Alert!

This album has two hits that are pretty good, but the rest is not the same quality. Some songs are okay, and some are very repetitive and just too long. Favourites: Red Alert and Rendez-Vu

Klassisk big beat

Coolt ändå att bandet som spelade på vår företagsfest för några år sen har kommit så långt och tagit sig in på den här listan!

Coolt coolt.

I was really tempted to give this one a four, but I feel like there's more mediocre material on this house album than good stuff. But when it hits, it really does hit hard. I enjoyed my time with this one. Highly recommend for anyone trying to throw a banging college party.

No lo pude terminar de escuchar

Maybe it's the relief of this not being jazz or Bob Dylan talking, but I'm gonna be Lao Tzu at the vinegar tasting with this one and simply appreciate it for being what it is: an apt artifact of late 90s house music.

What was the point of this?

Great dance music

Very 90s dance club background music.

A couple decent songs, but most of them sound like some teenager playing with a sequencer.

Well… this was certainly something.

1.9

Unoriginal, uninteresting dancefloor background music that doesn't work as an album.

I was going to give this 3 stars then I hears that awful singing. Ugh. 2/5

This is a product of when there was a brief alignment between pop music and electronic dance music in the UK during the late 1990s and early 2000s. It's mainly trash, with a few pop hits, a load of generic filler, not a masterpiece by any standards. Personally, I wouldn't dignify this with any electronic genre tag, it's more pop music than techno/ house? Calling this house is like calling Scooter techno. I've seen the term "Carnival House" used to describe music like this, that draws from many sources. It doesn't annoy me quite enough to give it one star, but there's no way it's getting more than two.

Basement Jaxx would not be my first choice for House music, but I put it on in the background and it was fine. Nothing bad, nothing great.

Unz, unz, unz, unz. Repeat for 57 minutes.

Como la un viaje de M. Estuvo bueno

I mean it was alright but pretty boring really

I’m way too sober for this, king. I can see the appeal to this kind of music in the right scene, but damn just bumping this hating my life fielding calls at work ain’t it. Similarly to some other electronic we’ve had previously, I did enjoy the fact that there’s so many flavors of music here. One minute it’s mixing up some west coast rap, then suddenly we’re in South America. If this were any other genre I’d probably hate it jumping around sonically like this, but for this record it makes sense.

Sound system rocking. I am in a party mood. I like this a lot. I am obsessed with the infamous 100 gecs boiler room where they remix "where's my head at" and use the iconic bonk sound effect, so actually hearing some house beginnings is awesome. I know that this is samey in some places but that is house the genre bending and the hype. Red Alert is so good. Just the bass on it is so funky it really is the best song that Daft Punk never wrote. Sounds straight from the French. I hear the influences so clearly in modern music. Stop4love is 100% a pink pantheress Track in disguise. Bingo Bango is a sonic song 100%. Being with you is a Tyler the creator song. I like it all and it is awesome to see how dance music permeates culture. I will say the moaning was a bit much at times but I like the artistic choice.

I know there are many sub-genres of electronic music, but I don't know the names of them all. I like a lot of them, but whatever sub-genre this is, it is not one of them. 1) there was too much signing. 2) the style of singing was dated to the point of cringe. All in all, an excruciating experience.

God awful. It's like they tried to make an album only using the most unpleasant sounds imaginable. The rhythms and beats themselves aren't bad, but when the soundscapes that they consist of are made of moaning girls or screeching shit it sounds horrible. This list has given me drilling sounds and completely acapella soundscapes yet this manages to sound worse than any of that. Really hard to find out who this is for, it's ''dance'' music you wouldn't want to be caught listening to.

Solid dance album, not my favourite of that era.

Fuck no.

i guess i have no morals because i looked at the cover and went meh and then listened to it while i cleaned the house and honestly pretty decent house music. not my exact taste it’s a bit quirky but still not bad.

Music made in the hopes that it will appear in an advertisement for something.

Basement Jaxx’s Remedy is yet another reminder that the 1001 Albums list isn’t always as essential as it claims to be. I could have skipped this entirely and felt no cultural loss. Electronic music deserves its spot, sure—but albums like this make it seem like the genre is padding the list more than elevating it.

While there were definitely some garbage songs on here, the majority was pretty enjoyable electronica.

Ehhhhhh maybe would prefer their second album

J’ai détesté chaque instant. Exactement le type de musique que je n’aime pas

Certaines musiques sont sympa mais c’est trop hétéroclite Des personnes s’engueulaient pendant que je l’écoutais et c’est anormalement bien passé

Some good beats on here. Fav song: Yo Yo

que hpta álbum, puro musical pero como que súper cool, me gustó mucho como la energía que tiene y me pareció re bacano especialmente tiene unos temas como todos extraños todos diferentes pero para bien

2/5

Not my kind of music, but not terrible. 2/5 for me

Three songs in and I’ve heard everything I needed to hear.

probably foundational to the late 90s/early 00s clubbing scene, absolutely mindnumingly boring to sit and listen to as music.

Not very remarkable but not terrible either.

1 -TERRIBLE

It does the job, gets you up and moving, but not a lot more substance than that. ‘Red Alert’ is a certified banger, but a lot of the rest is just filling time. And the interludes scattered through it are annoying.

Damn I love this album. Irresistible beats, almost impossible not to dance to. From the opening strains of Rendez-Vous (oh that Spanish guitar) until the last notes of Being With U, not a single chord, riff, or hook is wasted. Absolutely spanking

Ah, Basement Jazz. Red Alert was a banger and we all waited patiently for another, but instead we got "Bingo, Bingo, be-be-bing-bing, Bango..." Well, wasn't that the story of all those late 90s dance/pop bands? You can dance to it, if you don't mind looking like a drunk uncle at a wedding.

I like the frenzied feeling, but sometimes it just comes across as clunky or awkward. But in some songs it did work out, cool

Really meh besides some songs.

Complete garbage. Can you even call this music? Everything about this is bad, not a single redeeming quality. This is what plays when your doctor's office puts you on hold. Absolutely atrocious.

This does some interesting things and anticipates dubstep and hyperpop but the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

2.5

3.0

Really loved some songs, 'always be there' especially, but some songs I don't like enough that I want to skip them which brings down from 4 to 3. Wish I could do 3.5

Unlistenable load of absolute guff could not make it through more than 3 tracks

Not for me

Wasn't big on the interludes and one or two actual tracks, but the rest made up for them. Some solid jams, especially on the back end.

Full of energy, but not really for me.

sorry but this is extremely annoying

My ears hurt

This is just not my type of music. It was an Ok listen, but I was just ready for it to be over.

A small handful of fairly catchy radio hits. As a full album though I'm not really feeling it.

Instantly recognisable album cover and never actually listened to this in its entirety. And im here for it… Reviews seem a bit snooty but I think im ready for some good old pop dance music 🕺🏻 starts very strong and drops off a bit in following tracks, but still a good groove but then comes back strong with Red Alert. It’s consistently good, with some great tracks. Nothing amazing, but good enough and does what it sets out to do (3.5)

Album #1066 (1001 challenge): "Remedy" by Basement Jaxx (1999) "Remedy" is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo Basement Jaxx. House, Chicago house and disco are the Wiki-listed genres. The duo consists of Felix Buxton (mixing, production, vocals) and Simon Ratcliffe (mixing, producer, vocals). Commercially, the album reached #4 in the UK and, critically, it was well-received. The album opens with the second of four singles "Rendez-Vu." Insect noises, a piercing synth, a flamenco acoustic guitar and a dance beat. A man's vocals sometimes through some sort of vocoder. A synth carries the melody. The beats sound very New Jack-ish. Well, it was only a decade away from "Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814." More of that new jack beat is heard in "Jump n' Shout." A pumping synth. Rapid fire vocals by Slarta's Crew repeating "jump." We're firmly in house music here. Sirens sounds begin "Red Alert." A heavy and funky synth bass. House beats. Catchy vocals by Blue James. Daft Punk is an obvious influence in this song. The last released single was Bingo Bango." Oscillating synths and lasers. Another funky and thumping bass. Synth horns and party people sounds give this a Latin flair. A piano and synth strings are added in a celebratory song. Beats and more beats define this album. A dance party. Fun. Lots of added noises. The album doesn't necessarily stay in a lane with new jack beats, house beats, flamenco guitar, synth horns, synth strings and elements of soul and funk at times. It's a long album suffering from its CD-era time but overall this was a decent and upbeat album. If you're a fan of dance music, you'll find something here to like.

I dont like house music but apparently i do like house music with a heavy dose of funk. Almost a 5 star album for making me like house music. The tracks on this have a regular somg atructure to most of thwm - lyrics for a start but also chorus, etc. its a cracking album. Couple of number on this are infectious and mever fail to make me want to dance like a drugged up idiot. I am looking at you Jump & Shout and Red Alert.
