It's honestly the closest I've come to having to skip tracks just so I could say I completed the album. There was very little redeemable in my opinion that would make me want to listen again. 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

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.

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.

Not interested.

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

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!

Some fun tunes.

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.

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

90's axe commercial

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.

No fav song

Sounded like something Schmidt would listen to

Bit too Fluffy for me

Encore du brit anglais? Pass.

maybe this would hit in the club

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!"

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Not for me. Some good bits.

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

We have daft punk at home

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

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

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

This didn’t cure anything for me.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Lo sentí como música de hotel.

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.

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

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.

Red Alert!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Ehhhhhh maybe would prefer their second album

2/5

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

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.

Really meh besides some songs.

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

sorry but this is extremely annoying

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

Fuck ass album cover. Overall, I am just not a fan of most electro, and especially not for an hour straight. Yo Yo was goofy and ridiculous as fuck and I feel like if they leaned into that the rest of the way I might have liked this more.

I think I could have died without listening to this.

No wonder the rest of the world hates us when we keep giving them shit like this to listen to!

Occasionally clean and funky, but ultimately the vocorder abuse, general jumping around, and quite stark and overly obtrusive samples and sounds don’t make it very coherent or easy on the ear. I like a lot of their contemporaries, but this has always sounded like a bit of a mess to me.

Some good noise but noise

Okay, whatever that was. Undanceable dance music. I know it was recorded by Basement Jaxx because they say “Basement Jaxx” about 400 times. Cool album cover.

Not feeling it. I hate to say "it sounds like a bunch of noise" because I listen to a lot of music that can be categorized as that (metal, industrial, dubstep, etc). I also listen to a lot of electronica (including a TON from the 90s...too much to name), as well as a lot of "weird" music (Mike Patton-anything, Primus, Björk, etc). But this is for a way different level of ADHD than what my brain can tolerate. Ok... there is *ONE* redeeming track on this album. Very last one, "Being With U"

This is pretty average ’90s electronic dance music. Nothing really stands out, and even the catchier tracks fade from memory quickly. By the time the album ends, there’s very little that sticks with you.

A few catchy singles but really dips off at the end. I absolutely wasn’t in the mood for this today but there’s really not much wrong with it.

I can imagine listening to this at the cusp of Y2K in a dingy, sweaty club. Fun, dance-y vibes. Why that one song sound like an orgy though.

Some songs were good, but I don't think this style of dance music is for me.

i’ve heard japanese noise rock more listenable than this.

**An ok album

Some sick beats here, but as always, why would I listen to a whole album of this?

Red alert is a good song. The rest sounds like a bunch of synthesized noise thrown in a pot and stirred.

Interesting sound in some track, atrocious vocals in others (first two in particular). I wish they were an instrumental group and more experimental, less pop. I liked the male vocals in "Jump n shout".

1. vu - 1.5 2. yo - 1.5 3. jump - 1.5 4. stop - 1 5. Jaxx - 0 6. Red - 2 7. Jazz - 1 8. There - 2 9. Sneak - 0 10. Show - 1.5 11. Bingo - 1.5 12. Lude - 0 13. Love - 1.5 14. Give- 2

Uhhh, should have been kept in the basement Jacks

Pretty boring as 90’s electronica goes. The moaning song made me want to go back to church.

The music you use to fill gaps between better songs at a club. There is just nothing here. 2/5.

Some of this I will never get, so it just won’t resonate, but at least I do not find this offensive.

Not for me.

not my thing

Not great tbh there are way better electronic albums and I haven’t given anything a 2 yet. Red alert is a tune though

Einiges Tanzbares, der Rest Belangloses (mehr Sounds als Songs). Als Musik zum nur Hören an dieser Stelle verkehrt.

Like rave usually is...very repetitive. Good for certain situations only.

Who listens to this outside a club environment?

Way more gritty and urban than I had realised. Didn’t really enjoy and put me off the songs I knew!

I really didn't know what to expect with this album, and I'm surprised I managed to sit through all of it. I didn't necessarily dislike Remedy, but most of the songs really weren't for me, with the exception of the tracks Always Be There and Being With U. The track Same Old Show however I had to skip halfway through due to the constant moaning. I hope to one day come back to this album and think of it differently, but I don't believe that day is going to be soon.

I know I was listening in the wrong environment, but Rendez Vu and Bingo Bango are the stand-out tracks in an album that I would ignore even on the dance floor.

2.5 If you like late 90s dance music then you'll probably like this. Some of the tracks were fun to listen to, but at nearly an hour this album is way too long. Not really my thing but I didn't hate it.

Did you see Basement Jaxx in the boiler room, brah? Fully sick aye. Fckn nuts brah. See ya in Environmental Law 201 next week brah.

Yeah this is not for me..

I bought and listened to list album in the 90s and have not revisited it till today. I can see why! It has not aged well and apart from the singles all feels a bit pointless.

I don't think I'm ever going to come full around to enjoying Drum n Bass EDM. This album however had some fairly enjoyable (if fleeting) moments that didn't make it a total slog to get through. Still not good, but not wholly terrible. Top tracks: Jump N' Shout, Don't Give Up

i like some of the elements in the album but mostly they don’t go together. this doesn’t even feel like an album. it’s too random and has aged poorly

I don’t think I was on the right drugs to fully enjoy this.

There might’ve been a song or two that got my attention, but those moments weren’t enough to tip the scales.

Ew DNF Best Song: N/A Rating: 2.5/10 Stars: 2

Generic electronic music that was probably used in a Kia Sole commercial.

WHERE S YOUR HEAD AT HEAD AT HEAD AT а, бля, это не тот альбом. ну ладно.

Electronic music that sounds like it isn’t only played by robots, but was composed for robots. No soul. 1.5 stars.

The kind of music playing from a stage I would walk straight past at a festival

Not necessarily a fan of dance music, and this does tend to drag a bit in places for me, but they were brilliant when I saw them live at Milton Keynes as a support act and I do like Rendez-Vu and especially Red Alert, which is excellent.

A fatiguing listen - I don’t feel like I should be playing this music in my house..

03/10 11.01.2026

give me a flaming bottle of vodka and that 2 could be jaxxed up

Another on where I like the samples but the rest bores me to tears. I don’t hate it, I just wouldn’t listen to it out of choice. Maybe it’s good driving music because it keeps you awake?

I recognize there's a time and a place for this music. Maybe I'll revisit when I'm there.

I don't know why I keep thinking we've reached the end of electronica albums on this list, and I keep getting disappointed when yet another one shows up. Having said that, I didn't hate this, but I don't know why this had to be put on the list. There is nothing to distinguish this from any other mid electronica album.

This is not an album to listen to while 100% sober at work. Unfortunately, that is where and how I listened to it. I may have enjoyed this under other circumstances, but just couldn't really get into this time. I'm not sure if I'll feel inclined to try it again. Overall: 1.9/5

Esse é o pior álbum que eu já ouvi

Meh.

Can’t get into these guys

Pretty stale club music.

An hour of soulless dance noise. No thanks - I won't be coming back for more. I can't understand why this is important and it certainly isn't enjoyable.

Was not expecting to see this on the list! Genuinely alarming that it’s 26 years old! Quite a few of the tracks on here are know to me as singles, but I’ve never listened to this album before. Listening to it in 2025 I can't say it's setting the world on fire for me as an album. Maybe it had more impact at the time of release? 1.5 rounded to a 2

Oh dear. I remember "Red Alert" which I felt was a generic, but likeable dance track at the turn of the millennium. One song does not an album make. That one track drags this album above the 1 but what the heck.

I'm sure someone enjoys this, but it's not me. There are a couple of okay songs, but mostly this is so repetitive that it becomes annoying.

Most songs follow a predictable pattern common to electronic dance music. But there are one or two standouts -- "Red Alert", for example.

Not really into house music anymore so this was just a long hour. Not discounting the talent but not for me.

So of its time, turn of the millennium beats with random lyrics thrown on to and a lot of "yaw yaw" noise and layered noodling. "Red Alert" and "Rendez-Vu" stand out as songs I heard in those turn of the millennium clubs 25 years ago, the rest is.... regrettable.

When I first listened to this, I thought "I must be in the wrong mood to listen." However, after revisiting it multiple times over a couple of days, I can safely say that I do not like this album. It is grating.

Red alert is still a tune but the rest of the album is largely random noises

Coming out of the basement, this duo throws together a decent party album. The drum beats are a little one-dimensional and it gets a bit noisy but you can't help but have a good time. Their top track "Where's Your Head At" (which I recently learned is a sample of Gary Numan's "M.E.") ain't on here so the honors go to "Red Alert." End slows down and lost my interest. I did not expect the Jaxx to make the list. Wasn't aware they were that big or influential. Not a bad listen but skippable at 1.89 stars.

I knew I remembered Basement Jaxx from somewhere and it took until I listened to Red Alert for me to place them. It was also the only song I really enjoyed on the album.

Aptly named, there are strange things in the basement

I couldn’t finish it just really not my style. However, after reading up on the artist I greatly respect this album!

Started off fine but got worse and worse. Only decent songs are Red Alert and Rendez-Vu.

Interesting isn't always good. 3/10

4/10

Didn't leave a major impression, don't think I'm a big house person

No. 2/5

I like groups LIKE Basement Jaxx, but I’ve never been able to get into them. I’m clearly in the wrong as this group has collaborated with many people I like and respect, but it’s just not my type of “boom boom” music. Too chunky for me.

Better than some electronic albums because of the R&B or jazz samples. It's still an electronic album, though.

Trop de morceaux énervants

I did not care for this.

The best song is the one that’s 22 seconds. But sure let’s listen to the same loop for 6 minutes. I swear house music has to be the most pretentious art form

Not my thing 11/8/2025 10:23 am

Not my thing. Few decent tunes

Eh. It's an electronic album, so... Still not really my thing. It isn't changing my mind on my issues with electronic. Jump n Shout is fun, at least.

An album very much set in its time, and not even one of the better ones from that time. Not a horrible album, but nothing special either.

Quote from Wikipedia: "Most dance music is very shiny and so robotic," Simon Ratcliffe told Rolling Stone. "There's just not much feeling. If we made a record like that, we'd be just like everybody else." Sorry to break the news to you, but this just sounds like everybody else! In fact all the songs just start to sound the same after awhile.

Generic clubby dance music. Maybe this is wildly significant and important but if it is, it's lost on me! Some nostalgia but mostly just kind of annoying. Would have been better without the obnoxious auto-tune.

boring

Een par hits, dreunende beats. Ongetwijfeld ooit vooruitstrevend en je voelt dat er een hele edm-scène uit is voortgevloeid, maar als album niet heel overtuigend

I wanted to like this more than I did

I forgot what the artist name was a couple times, but they reminded me.

Not my thing but finished it.

Not for me. Not really sure who it's for.

Таке враження що я знаю цей гурт з якогось глибокого дитинства. Але це завжди для мене була категорія "електро", причому така типу клубна музика, яку я ніколи не любив. Вперше сьогодні спробував послухати альбом - не дуже сподобалось якщо чесно.

More like Meh-Tronkca

Red Alet is still a banger, but the rest of it is too weird and dull

It’s not bad, but it’s EDM, so a couple dudes in the basement with a mic and a noise making synth does not count. The whole genre takes little skill. Cheaters.

Alcuni pezzi carini, altri meno. Jump ‘n shout mi ha ricordato il Katalicammello

In a past life, I used Remedy help desk software for issue tracking. For all I know, this album is about that software.

I knew there was a reason I never got into this band. It's because they kind of suck.

Nope

Bailar, desde luego, hay que bailar. Pero no soy yo de desatarme al ritmo de house ni puesto de speed hasta las cejas. Puedo disfrutar de una canción al volante con los altavoces a tope por la autopista, pero el disco entero se me ha hecho más que bola. Nada más que decir, por ahora.

Need to listen when I am in a dancing mood

Not bad. Not very good. Easy listening for a party. 2 stars.

I really am disliking the majority of these electronic albums

This music sounds like I am about to pay too much for sunglasses at a place next to a Chipotle.

Better than other albums of this ilk, but not something that rewards close listening.

Not for me. Samsey bleep blorp bullshit.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx is an OK electronic dance album from the late 90s, but in truth it doesn’t stand out from the wave of similar records of that era. For me, it’s nothing particularly special. There are a couple of undeniable bangers—“Red Alert” and “Rendez-Vous”—but beyond those, the rest of the album feels bland and forgettable. I gave it a 2/5 purely for those two tracks, but it could just as easily have been a 1/5. Favourite track: Red Alert—a proper clubbing anthem from back in the day. Least favourite track: Pretty much everything else. Album artwork: Lots of flesh—very of its time.

There are some great moments here among electronic music's best. Unfortunately, it drones on boringly for much of its runtime.

I am an electronica/techno fan, and I like some of Basement Jaxx' stuff, but not really sure why this album is considered required listening. Some of the samples they use are actually pretty annoying, to be honest.

People are in the reviews of this album bemoaning dance music and insulting electronic, and I think it's unfair to go and rate an album based off the genre rather than the album itself. anyway, ts is so ass bro 😭😭 holy fuck

I do not personally like

Didn’t listen fully, didn’t like the few songs I listened to but I reckon has potential

I guess I’m not a fan of mutated mixing. Not a fun listening experience.

This directly after "...Baby One More Time". Is it 1999 week on 1001 Albums?

Electronic and boring!

I like dance music, but I’ve never really liked Basement Jaxx. I’ve always just thought of them as ‘noise merchants’ and this album reinforces this. It’s just noise. There is no flow. It’s all just noise!

This music reminds me of being in places I don’t want to be in (mainly clubs). There’s a few decent tracks but it all feels too generic to be noteworthy at all. Jump ‘N Shout was pretty good though, the one diamond in the rough.

Tout allait bien jusqu’à Same Old Show Le nom Basement Jaxx fit bien, parce qu’on dirait vraiment quelque chose que tu entendrais dans un shitty basement party Y’en a des pas si pire…… mais 2/5

mostly annoying with a touch of nice rythm

2 estrelas musica chata

Some of the songs were cool, but it was boring and too long. Could've been half the length and more engaging because in a scenario where I'm just purely listening most of the time is just spent hoping that the song will end soon. I liked the more interesting songs; favorite was U Can't Stop Me.

I got the point three songs in. Not bad but nothing I would ever turn to. Very limited art form.

This sounds like something that was popular on college campuses for, like, a year in the early 2000's and was promptly lost to time. Party-ready beats that range a few genres. This is my first time hearing Basement Jaxx, which is surprising to me. Either way, I don't think I'll be coming back to this. There are some decent ideas here, but most everything feels partially baked. Kind of baffled by its inclusion on the list.

Not a fan. Did nothing for me.

its fine

This is as close to a 1 as you can get without being a 1. I don’t hate it enough to be a 1 but I don’t like it enough for it to be anything more than a 2. What even is this

This is one of those albums I have a hard time rating because it's not that the music was particularly "bad" from a quality standpoint, it's just not something I personally enjoyed. I am definitely not the target audience for this. I was also under the weather, and this was not the type of music to get me through the day, so maybe on a different day I'd give it a slightly better score...but it wasn't my general cup of tea anyway.

Like having something stuck in your throat.

I understand two things after listening to this album. 1. I realize this is a great example of house party music from the late 90s. 2. I never liked house party beats from the late 90s.

I truly have no idea why this is on the list. Sounds like the house music one hears when waiting in line at a bad dance bar.

Songs to play at the club if the goal is to get people to leave

Meh

5/10 Highlight: Rendez-Vu Sidenote: there are quite a number of inconsequential EDM albums on the list, all of them from England...

A couple of singles tent poling a lot of crap.

Surprisingly, I found that I quite liked this album; a little weird, but otherwise enjoyable.

Some fun beats here and there but not something I’d listen to a second time

Interesting for EDM!

Dance beats

Album doesn’t really know what it is. Too diverse to have any sort of identity. It was ok

I need some proper drugs first and then listen to this cause wtf

I just didn't enjoy this, not my preferred method of sacrifice

not my type of music. not a fan

What a… bad electronic album. Look, I listen to ALOT of the genre and this is probably the bottom of what I’ve heard. I’ve heard beginner producers make 5x better stuff than this. Tho saying that they did make an absolute banger on this absolute, bingo bango alone nearly pushed this to a 3 hahaha. But I’m not that kind so yea

I listened to this whilst the rain delay for the Spa-Francorchamps Formula One race was happening, and my god, it was such a boring electronic album. It didn't do much at all, and I seriously wanted to sleep, which electronic music is supposed to prevent, but alas, Red Alert was decent, I guess. It didn't help that the Formula One race was boring, but good on Oscar Piastri.

Barely works as background music.

Didn't hurt to listen to, a bit too long though. So interesting beats and samples, but after my first listen, I am left with not much to say good or bad. It would be interesting if someone in this genre made a song where they sample a dude having an orgasm for a change of pace. Actually, nevermind, that would be worse and I'm sorry I said anything. I guess Robert Plant covered that ground anyway. Mostly forgettable grooves. First half was ok.

Idk

red alert was good. no thanks to everything else

Same as yesterday's album. Dated AF.

Didn't really dislike it but it all blended together after a while.

2 It has its moments. I’m a big fan of house and trance music, but I find most of this album to be pretty obnoxious and just low effort.

** Techno….no

Meh.

Expected more

Idk what mood I need to be in for this to not be jarring, but I wasn't in it yesterday

Like…why?

Tedious with some occasional interesting sounds and beats such as Spanish guitar on opening track, the song "Red Alert." If I was into going to clubs in 1999 I may have been into it.

Fun at times but cringey, annoying, and unlistenable more often Yo yo yo yo yo yo no

mostly crap

Where's "Where's your head at?" at?

I was doing so well with these albums. I had avoided overly-long dance/electronica albums for several days now. Now, these albums have come back to haunt me again. I don't hate electronica or dance music, but there is just so damn much of this stuff in this book. I just get tired. Rendez-Vu Red Alert Same Old Show Bingo Bango Those are the songs I recommend and this isn't awful, but I just can't do too many more of these electronica albums.

Not as bad as expected, but definitely not meant for me. Fav: Don‘t give up

Dance music that you cannot dance to. Hated this, but 'Red Alert' was cool.

I hate dancing, so this “dance album” should be right down my alley. It isn’t though.

2 - standard electronica

How much is the fish???

Listened Before? N Pretty okay for a late 90's dance album. Not saying much there but it could've been worse I guess? Very cliche' and repetitive. Not my cup of tea mostly. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Red Alert

Wasn't really my cup of tea; I was into the first song or two but then it got a bit too 1999 and I fell out of it. Took the best 2-3 songs with me in favorites, won't relisten. Favorite track: Bingo Bango

Late 1990s house album from the UK - the first songs were very repetitive, and so were the last few songs, I liked the middle part the best because it was more interesting and varied. I like different electronic music but this was overall not to my liking. There are other electronic albums even from the 90s that I love a lot more than them.

Longest hour of my life

Had to turn it off because it was scaring both me and my dogs.

Jackin' in the basement is unfortunately a good description

Well this is annoying

Bargain basement (jaxx) beats. 2/5

Could someone please explain to me why I need to hear this album? It's repetitive, bloated and self indulgent. Even the big singles don't really do anything to excite, even if they're the only semi enjoyable tracks on the record, but they still overstay their welcome.

There was dancing. There was mixing. None of it bad. But I think this has been covered by others in often more interesting ways.

I don’t think I needed to listen to this. Maybe I’d have danced to this in the naughties but I certainly don’t want to listen to this while sitting at my desk in the year of our lord 2025

Yo, yo, yo, yo this was never my scene. Honestly, it sounds similar to the sounds my 11 yo smashes together and considers music. Although he'd probably add some fart effects.

Sounded like a soundtrack to a modern dance show I wouldn't want to see.

Not an album or genre I am attracted to but surprisingly the first few tracks were OK. But that was the trouble the album collectively was a bit meh and OK. For a dance album not one to get the pulse thumping. 2/5 14/5/25

🍑

Som om klockan är 03:13 på yaki-da och man har tappat bort alla polare

Selv hittet er dårligt

I can respect the creativity and effort that goes into making electronic music. But I’ve never really enjoyed listening to it, and this album did little to change that for me.

For dance music, this one felt a bit like drowning.

Solid on your phone on the subway music

In a different time and place, maybe this would be a 3? Found myself wanting to turn the volume down and tune out vs. tuning in.

Where’s Your Head At? is a great song….which isn’t on this album….So I’m left wondering if TWO Basement Jaxx albums made the list….which would be…..surprising…..

we have Daft Punk at home

“Same Old Show” was terrible; the rest ranged from pretty bad to mediocre to pretty good. I don’t hate the genre or the album, but it really doesn’t feel like it belongs on this list.

I’d heard Bingo Bango before but found the piano in the background totally distracting. The rest was just noise

Not for me

Like most other electronica on this list, this s album was fine but devolved into nothing more than background music. I feel like I knew the song “Red Alert” but not sure. Unfortunately there were more tracks that I disliked than my enjoyment

This reminded me of early 2000s which makes sense because that’s basically when it came out. That’s all.

Auf, auf, auf, mit dem Ghettoblaster in den Park und ab, ab, ab 📻

kinda sucked ngl

Maso

A couple of songs I loved, but then lots of filler that isn't really my style.

Ce genre de musique me semble tellement daté qu’il lui faut un facteur nostalgie, c’est-à-dire qu’on en ait écouté à l’époque et qu’on aime déjà ça…

2.5 Is it a Wednesday? Then there’s an 8/10 chance I’m getting a British electronica album from 1995-2001 that clocks in at at least an hour long. The dude who made this list simply cannot help himself. Every fucking band who made one made it on this list. The well is endless. I make the joke everytime, but it really is true. You think “surely there can’t be more British electronica albums on this list,” and next week there’s another. Ya know - this was even one of the better ones if I’m being honest. I thought it started a lot stronger than over ones, was groovier, less ambient, more rocking. But it just loses steam towards the end and I’m just annoyed that I’ve already listened to 20 albums like this before.

Not a big fan of EDM or House music, but Basement Jaxx does it better than most. I would have put Rooty on the list instead, as it is a better and more notable album. This one is listenable, but doesn't break through in the way that one does.

OK.. na 1 song heb je de trukendoos gehoord... blijkbaar hadden ze maar 1 vaatje om uit te tappen en het was dan nog een klein vaatje ook...

A British house album that had me partying at certain points during it, “Same Old Show” for example. But the rest was a bit unremarkable. I find it easy to lose track of the fact that I’m listening to this type of music and perhaps that’s the point.

It's very of its time. Where's your head at is a great track. But it isn't on this. So if you feel like getting an idea of the sound of late 90s/early 2000s hedonism... This is probably it.

eh. some cool stuff now and then but mostly just annoying sounds and uninteresting beats

Thoughts before listening: I'm pretty sure this is some sort of 90s/00s techno, rave group. I wasn't into this type of music at the time, and I probably won't be into it now either. Review: Yeah this isn't for me. This sounds like all the other dance music from the late 90s. It's extremely repetitive and while I understand the appeal for some people, it just doesn't do anything for me. 2-stars

-this is um. idk not much stood out to me. felt sort of like dollar store Daft Punk with an added dose of cringe? -like most albums on here it had its fair share of highlights. started off pretty strong, but quickly fell flat and became bland at best. I am not a huge house music person so I could be biased but I will be in no rush to hear this again yea -Favorites are Rendez-Vu and Bingo Bango

This was mostly uninteresting, even though the album cover is rather interesting to say the least. I did find a version of this album that is performed by an Australian Symphony that is far superior. 2/5

Could tell by the album cover/ year of release exactly what this would be like. Kinda flew by but I don’t really like it. 2/5

A lot seemed to be missing *something*; boring and uninteresting. 2* The album cover and "same old show" felt very inappropriate to have at work, had to skip. Highlights: red alert

Szczególnie pierwsze kawałki kojarzą są jak skrzyżowanie muzyki z galerii handlowej i słabego klubu. Niektóre nawet brzmią jak wygenerowane przez AI. Jest kilka znośnych - tych z damskim wokalem, ale reszta jest wtórna, monotonna, powtarzalna i irytująca. Po co te dziwne odgłosy w tym wszystkim? Po co ten album na tej liście? Nigdy się nie dowiemy. 4/10

I just can't really envision a place and space for this other than where it is played: the club, being out. I guess in that sense it's not bad, but I'm not throwing this on during my day or around the house

Background music with weird vocals. Not much more than that

My toe tapped a couple times so you get a couple stars. But it was not a great album.
