Remedy

There are a very wide range of EDM sub-genres at this point and I do appreciate some of the originators. I think that for 90s EDM this album is actually well done. It really isn't my favorite style of music though. I'm not one for going clubbling and that feels like the true setting for this type of music. Good execution but not for me.

Some songs were cooler than expected, but most were just as shitty as expected. Nah, get out of here with this.

I'm a house dancer and hear a lot of fucking amazing house music all the time. This was garbage.

U can't stop me is an absolute banger. Everything else just meh 4/10

Sometimes I was vibin. Most of the time I was just waiting for it to end - 4/10

Another electronica album, pretty much the same feelings as the last few. Did not enjoy the moaning sounds. Giving it a low 2.

I listened to the start of this album like 4 times before I finally listened to the whole thing. It wasn't bad, just a bit too experimental and noisy for me. I dont like listening to staticy things. not offensive but my boat was not floated

Parts of it were good, pretty hoppin and boppin. Other parts of it were weird. The sex noises were unpleasant. Why do so many artists put sex noises in their music? Overall mid, 4.5/10

That song with the moaning was not my favorite

I listened to this right after Mermaid Avenue. The difference in sensibilities was quite jarring! Electronic music is just not for me. Maybe because I’m not a dancer. This isn’t the worst, but I find electronic music to be tedious for the most part. It should make me want to dance, but it does not. Some of the beats and patterns are interesting, but I get bored of them so fast. Each song should be 30 seconds, max. 2.4

I don't like this style of music, but I got kollaps after this and hadn't given a star rating to basement jaxx yet. That reminded me what a 1 star album is. So this gets a 2.

There were some beats I would occasionally groove too. But more pervasively I was just looking at the clock waiting for this album to be over. 2/5

Ça partait avec quelques bangers, quoique un peu cliché et quétaine, mais plus l'album avançait et plus il semblait décousu et aller dans trop de direction à la fois. L'une des dernières pièces était surprenament expérimentale et j'aurais pris un album complet comme ça, mais c'était trop peu trop tard. 4.5/10

#mamita. 5/10

Like many a dance music album, this seems like a handful of strong singles padded out with far too much filler. At the start I was enthused by some Daft Punk-esque squelchy beats, but by the end the sounds became generic and monotonous. 2.5

Didn't really get the appeal of this one.

In theory, this would have been one of the best electronic albums but it wasn't. The 2 main singles outclass most of "Remedy". "Same Old Show" is absolutely rubbish and shouldn't be played in public. I couldn't stand it and felt twice as long. There are some great songs like "Red Alert". 2 stars for this polarising album.

It would be fine for a dance club. I don't need to listen to it in my earbuds for an hour.

Here and there some interesting samples, but I still don't like this

Not great

ich kann das nicht fertig hören sorry........

I love the electronic genre, but even I found this fairly boring. Not as interesting as Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales, another club album, which also happens to on this list. And neither of those albums is as interesting as Paul Oakenfold's Bunkka. I am unsure whether that album is on the list, but if not, it should be.

A continuation of “Music to shop for slacks to” at your local mall.

was, wenn das beste an einem album die intermezzo von 30 sekunden sind? nicht meins!

Hmm, guter Rhythmus und groovig, aber nicht so meines.

Well, that was an album. I certainly listened to it. You know, the group who made this album, Basement Jaxx, complained that dance music of the time was "very shiny and so robotic" and that there wasn't much feeling in it. That's how I feel about this album. This is one of those albums that really don't need to be on here, but don't particularly upset me with their inclusions. I mean, this album sold approximately a million copies, so it's not like there isn't an argument for this album to be on the list. It's just not a very compelling argument. This album sounds fine. Some songs are pretty okay, others are kind of annoying. The vocals are varied, I'll give the album that. The writing is uninteresting and repetitive, kind of like this album as a whole. Did this really need to be 57 minutes long? I don't think so. This album's okay. I'm just gonna move on now. 2/5.

Never noticed how many annoying samples and instruments Basement Jaxx used until now 2*

Feels pretty generic. Not even sure I could dance to this.

Something about those songs is not made for me.

It was okay for dance music

the album ended and it started playing a song i had already heard and i didn’t realize until it played the second song i had already heard

2.3

They could have boxed this off in 30'. It would still be two stars but I'd have saved some time.

I don't even remeber the album and I listened to it yesterday.

Someone likes jams like this but not me. My favorite part was that it used some unexpected samples, like The Specials.

Extremely unremarkable.

time to jaxx off with Basement Jaxx! thats all I got for jokes, sorry. This isnt the album with "Where's Your Head At" so immediate disappointment. after that its just the typical uk electronica that seems to be all over this list. not for me!

I can respect the talent and craftsmanship that goes into an album like this but that doesn’t mean I’m going to like it. No “Where’s your head at” so what’s the point? Also I think I’m past the age where putting women’s sexual moaning in songs is cool. All it guarantees is I won’t be playing that song in public or buying the record

This was a throwback. It felt fresh and exciting back in the day. Now it sounds boring and dull. Background music for all those crappy mid 90's bars where you would talk shit about how GREAT you are. Red Alert remains a banger. I still have the urge to run around and shout BINGO BANGO in the face of randoms.

Not really my thing, but I did know a couple songs in here, which surprised me. Not bad per se, but just not something I would really listen to. 2/5 Won’t listen again

not my cup of tea.

I did not vibe with the robotic vocals at the beginning of the album, they did not age well. Thankfully, they did not last. I also found the sound effects on "Same Old Show" very cringe. Some of the synths on "Don't Give Up" gave me Metroid Prime vibes which was cool. I had to be careful listening to this in the office because of the album art haha. Most of the songs that didn't annoy me I found pretty meh. But "Jump 'N Shout," "Red Alert," and "Bingo Bango" are bangers.

not for me 1.5/5

Not really my style

One star for Red Alert One star collectively for the repetitive rest

Pretty good for the late 90's of electronic music but kinda trailed off for the second half of the album

Basement Jaxx have done some incredible, fun, memorable music. This album is conspicuously not that. The singles are actually pretty decent, although Rendez-vu always makes me think of 187 Lockdown. The rest of the album is repetitive, disjointed and in many ways quite amateurish when compared to Jaxx' later work, or contemporaries like Groove Armada. Shame really.

Very weird but not TERRIBLE

Serviceable house music one supposes, with a few decent tracks ("Red Alert", "Bingo Bango", "Being With U") though I contend: why would anyone want to listen to this when they could listen to Daft Punk of the same era, with a cleaner sound and less grime to it? Maybe I just haven't taken enough ecstasy.

I was 20 years old when this came out. The right age to be on mind altering substances in dodgy clubs trying to get lucky. I thought this was pretty crap music back then, and my opinion hasn't changed in all the years since.

enough already with the boom boom boom

This album was supposed to get me laid.

Trippy electronic music doesn’t do it for me. I can see grooving to it in a disco but hard to just listen to a whole album in a normal state of mind.

Nice to study to, got into a groove, but didn't like it. Just not my thing. And not done in a way that would be a taste breaker.

Never heard this band before. And won't ever put them on again. They lost me with the first 2 vocoder abominations. Some of the later tracks were better with some jungle and krump but not my bag and I can point to other albums in the genre is rather hear. Same old show was one of the better bits.

I guess that I can begrudgingly give it a 2. It's a little better than a lot of the other electronic music this list has exposed me to, but not by much.

Not a fan of House as a general manner. This was fine. Very up and down. 1.5 rounded to 2 because I managed to finish it.

I could listen, but barely!

It is kind of hard to rate these 90s UK dance albums. Am I holding them to the same standard as a “real” album? I think they’re designed for turntables and dance floors, not for headphones or Alexa while cooking your tea. So I was thinking of an easy 3, mostly on the strength of Red Alert, which I’ve always really liked. But there’s no way I’d dance to anything else on here, and there is very little variation or innovation on the deeper cuts. 2 feels harsh, but here we are.

I really do not need to hear so much electronica.

... and the music keeps on playing on and on ... Doesn't it fucking just. Thos like being at an office party in a job you don't care about, and Cliff from accounts is on the wheels of steel.

Mhm kinda OK kinda weird

Great cover, mediocre album.

Nice to listen to but way too long.

I enjoyed the singles from this when they originally came out, but the album as a whole feels pretty empty and soulless.

Why is there so much electronica on this list??? Please make it stop. Most of this album becomes background noise. A few tracks actually attempt to be full songs with real vocals. The opening track "Rendez-Vu" isn't bad, though it sounds like it's trying to recreate Eiffel 65's "Blue." "U Can't Stop Me" isn't bad either. It has kind of an Aaliyah vibe to it that's cool. And I didn't realize they did "Red Alert"—I think I thought that was Daft Punk or something (because, again, this is really not my genre)—it's not terrible. Those are probably the only highlights on this album. Most of the tracks don't even have real lyrics, just bizarre vocalizations or noises. There are some cool samples, but you can only loop the same 4 seconds of music so many times before it gets annoying—when you do it for 5+ minutes straight, it starts to feel like torture. By track 6 I was ready for it to be over. Every now and then something would draw my attention, like the poor attempt at a whistle vocal on "Always Be There" that's more of a scream, but then it would fade back into electronic monotony. I ended up fast forwarding through "Same Old Show" because of the obnoxious moaning. From then on, that became the norm for me—listen to the first 30 seconds or so, then jump forward a few times to find that nothing much had changed and I wasn't missing anything by ending the song early. Like all the other electronica albums I've been forced to listen to, I have no interest in listening to this stuff outside of a club context (and even then, this is definitely not the type of music I seek out at clubs). 2/10 It's not literally unlistenable, but I have no desire to sit through it again.

ptsd flashback: my freshman year suitemate has invited me over to listen to his “mash ups.” he worships tiesto. he thinks he’s the next girl talk. he isn’t.

Decent house record, but it's very-very repetitive and nothing memorable. 2/5

Boring and too jazzy

Repetitive and uninspired.

Finds musikalisch eher langweilig und die Songs zu langatmig. In den 90ern bestimmt irgendwie innovativ, leider gar nicht zeitlos 4/10

Not the vibe for me. 2.4.

Music is fine, but the genre is not for me.

Ranges in quality from very good to forgettable to bad. Red Alert and Rendez-vu are bangers. Lots of filler/interlude tracks too.

It’s either Enjoy (Jump ‘N Shout) or endure, and it’s mostly endure.

i once saw primal scream at glastonbury and they were off their fucking tits so over ran their time slot. upon being kicked off the stage by security, Bobby Gillespie referred to basement jaxx as basement joke which is appropriate for this album. then someone super upper class ponce with no understanding of glaswegian stood behind me and loudly proclaimed, 'Primal scream, you are a disgrace!' and that is the epitome of how gap yah glastonbury was in the 2000s.

Josef Fritzl's favourite band

don’t know about this one England

ngl i don't want to listen to this

2.3/5 nothing memorable here

I don’t know what genre of electronic this is but we’ve heard it a few times and I don’t really like it. The moaning song annoyed me.

'Red Alert' és un tema dance per disfrutar sense complexes. La resta del disc és una mena de llarga sessió nocturna underground que en el seu context adequat pot encaixar força bé amb l'atmòsfera, però fora d'allà perd gran part del seu sentit

I think I accidentally walked into The Gap or maybe even Old Navy

Not my style.

Not a dance guy. Still alright tho.

Basement Caxx

It’s ok. Pretty generic edm from the era. 2 stars

Techno club music just isnt for me. Not bad but not great.

I'm sure it's great if you like this kind of thing.

I might have found the album cover to be more engaging than the album.

Nothing but 15 twink anthems. I can see why someone would like this album but I am not that person.

2.0 I remember when this came out and it was a bit of a hit with the critics. I never did download it on Napster, so this is the first time I've listened to it. I thought alot of the album was pretty juvenile but it did get better on some of the later tracks.

The best Basement Jaxx album is called The Singles and even that isn’t that great because a lot of the singles are just meh

Standard dance, i prpbably have a half hearted boogie then go hunting the bar.

Relentlessly similar, dated house with occasional bursts of interest.

The best songs were the ones where they get a sample of a great song, looped it and chucked a load of beats and one finger keyboard playing at it, and then asked a budget soul diva to wail a bit, and then sampled the worst bits of that alongside some stuff of their favourite telly programs. And I like electronic music. Catchy though...

This album is ok. Not the kind of electronic music I like. The slower songs I enjoyed more, often because the faster sings had crazier and harsher sounds that I didn't really like. Just not my cup of tea. 2/5 Favorite song: Stop 4 Love Worst song: Yo Yo

Not for me. Really I should give it a 1 but I've nudged it up to a two just for the clubbing nostalgia.

Boring generic techno.

33/100

More dance music - I don't dance so it's just pointless. This isn't music you can just listen to, it has next to no musical value.

House. Rollo.

Ehhhhh. There were some cool ideas here and there, but overall none of these songs really grabbed my attention. There are also some *really* annoying bits, like the vocals in Yo Yo

Música un tanto electrónica que pasa sin pena ni gloria. Nada destacable. Poca influencia. Discos de este tipo hay muchísimos.

2.9 - Strictly for a dance hall, cocktail lounge or hostel common area.

Fine. 90s DJ noise.

Why do some bands feel the need to say the name of their band over and over in so many of their songs? Is it a branding thing? Anyway, some of the songs were ok, but some really grated on my nerves. Overall not something I enjoyed much at all. I guess it's just not my thing. 2 stars.

Couple of bangers from back in the day but they're the best if the album really. The rest is borderline irritating.

Amontoado de ruídos e som que disfarçam bem as batidas repetitivas.

jarring club music

It's a good album to dance to I suppose, but it feels repetitive in a bad way even if house music can feel that way sometimes. Some of the song feel like the entire scope of said song was introduced in the first 10 seconds and then that's all it was on a loop for like 5 minutes. Songs which had vocals with them did improve things a bit, like Red Alert, but most of this just feels like background club music in a sense. If I was drunk or high out of my mind this might be more enjoyable, but I'm stone cold sober, and it isn't that enjoyable in such a state.

Overrated background music. There was nothing in this album for me.

Not a bad dance album just not really somrthing that gets me very excited. 2.5 stars

Oddly grating in too many tracks for this to warrant more than 2/5

I was heavily involved in the rave scene in the mid 1990s in the Bay Area, and while I personally preferred techno and related situations, I was certainly conversant with house, acid house, trip house and similar. I don't understand the inclusion of this album on this list, particularly when there's nothing from The Orb or Future Sound of London or Art of Noise. If the goal is to expose people to things they may not have heard, OK, sure, I haven't heard of this record, but that said, it's derivative in the worst possible sense of not being creative. I will give it two stars because it's not objectively bad -- if someone put this on at a house party, I don't think anyone would run over and turn it off -- but there's no there there. LOL reading Wikipedia now and this seems firmly in the area of the author is UK based and this record was apparently big over there, but hell, Rolling Stone said it's #13 on the top 30 EDM albums of all time... I guarantee that 1-12 aren't all on this list. Silly!

No thanks.

House. Rollo.

Some interesting mixes.

Some of the worst vocals of any album we've had so far. Music was meh. 3/10

Meh. The start of this is OK. As background music. But it just gets so tiring and repetitive after a while. And then it all starts to get a bit silly about two-thirds of the way through. As if they got bored. Which I did. I like a bit of electronic stuff and can understand why other people might love this, but this sort of stuff is the reason I gave up on music in the 90s for a bit. It's just thin and vapid after a time. As an album, that's not a good thing. It's also just so long. Cut 20 minutes and I might have enjoyed it more. I'll not listen to this again, although it's not terrible enough for 1 star.

2.5

I've heard about Basement Jaxx but never listened to any songs. I didn't like this album. Red Alert was nice but the rest of the songs are very meh.

Not impressed as every song was extremely repetitive imo and some of the sounds used were just straight up hard to listen to

Kinda cool. Inoffensive. I wasn't into it.

Have not listened to a whole Basement Jaxx album before but this one opens with a banger. However, I'm not really into House music and apart from the three tracks below most of the album didn't do anything for me. Nearly a whole hour of this was quite tiring by the end. Highlights: Rendez-Vu Red Alert Bingo Bango

Wasn't feeling this. Not my thing. A couple of songs were kinda nostalgic as they were played a lot at uni but shan't be listening again. Totally forgettable

Breakbeat is the Never growing up teenager who like Bacardi Breezer and smokes Menthols. It‘s ok for a certain time but… 2.4

More electronica. More of the same. More boredom. More- wait, what is happening on that album art?

Not for me, tough to listen to the whole way through.

Waste of my time...

I've never hear of Basement Jaxx, and all of the music from Remedy was new to me. This music is not a typical genre for me to listen to. Most of the album was okay. "Don't Give Up" might be the track that sinks this album from being able to round up to three stars.

Not a fan.

Not my thing at all

It is electronic music. One song was recognizable. It is better than a one. Not really a two. I will round up.

annoying

Red Alert and Bingo Bango are fun party tracks, but generally this feels a bit generic and unexciting. Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: Red Alert Date listened: 12/02/23

90s electronica

House. Rollo

This list provides me with so much great music that I really treasure, and sometimes it provides me with stuff that I don't really care for, but I can see the significance of the album. And then sometimes it provides me with stuff like this, where I have no earthly idea why I'm supposed to give a crap about this album. Sure, it's a fine album if you want to have some drinks and dance at the club, but I have no idea how to evaluate this seriously as an album. It's not technological mastery, it's not innovative musical structure, it's certainly not interesting lyrically, so why am I supposed to care? I'm not, and I don't 2/5

PREFS : Rendez-Vu, Jump'n'Shout, Bingo Bango, Stop 4 Love MOINS PREF : Don't Give Up

Unexceptional, didn't engage me at all.

It was pretty ground breaking back in the day, but now just sounds repetitive and lacking imagination. Couple of bangers, but a massive amount of dreck

Oh boy, this ain't my cup of tea at all. Not much that impresses me on here, but most house doesn't really grab me. I notice their musicality and craftiness, but it just doesn't connect. The only songs I did like were Rendez-Vu & the catchy Red Alert, but unfortunately, that is the only good I've to say for this record. Key tracks: Rendez-Vu, Red Alert, 3 out of 10

Well, EDM and the like is not my favorite. I didn't really mind this, and would have given it 3 stars, except it became very repetitive, so I'm giving it two.

Electronic dance, not my thing.

Maybe if I was coked up, dancing to this album in a Amsterdam nightclub on New Years Eve 1999, I would’ve enjoyed it more, but I am stone cold soberly not enjoying myself. Found it annoying and a chore to get through. 2/5

A few great moments buried in awful 90s rave music

I usually enjoy electronic music but there are too many high pitched squeaky noises for me to make it through many of the tracks

Not so easy to get through this, even if Red Alert is a catchy tune.

Never been a huge fan

A bit too annoying to be 3 stars

It's okay... but not that great to listen to at home. Club? Maybe.

ugh, yet MORE 90s UK techno. I didn't like these guys then, don't like em now. 2/5.

Repetitive and annoying, after a while. Most of the songs overstayed their welcome. And things like "Jazzalude..." wth was THAT about? Electronica really has to grab me, there has to be some intensity, and I felt my mind wandering in the first or second song. I was not impressed by this stuff at all. Next.

It’s… not bad. Unfortunately not interesting or compelling at all.

Unfortunately, no matter how much human flesh is stuffed in the cover art, the music stays as robotic as it is.

Really just didn't get it. It's a little below a 2 but not quite a 1.

Meh

i'm sure people on X love this, but, um, outside of the club (and possibly inside it as well), house music is borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring (also LOL at this clown talking about how "robotic" EDM is and then making a super robotic album)

Not for me

Sounds a bit like 100 gecs, but it doesn't really convince me. I don't find the synthetic sounds very pleasant to listen to, and the music isn't particularly interesting structurally either.

I thought I might like it during the first song, but it was only downhill from there for me.

I love experimenting in songs but it just felt random and wasnt telling a story to me.didnt work for me

Once again hard to rate this dance albums sitting on my ass in front of a computer. It's ok. It's sounds more dated than then it is.

An ok dance album. I wasn't expecting a Selector sample. Red Alert held up pretty well.

Not my thing. Too repetitive. Dragged quite a bit.

I have enjoyed most of the 90s electronic albums on this list so far. Not so much for this one.

not a fan, none of the songs appealed to me. it wasn’t horrible, but it was definitely not good.

No joo kai tätä pidetään house-klassikkona, mutta on tää vähän hektinen mulle. Sais olla enemmän daft punkin suuntaan. Red alert on ihan tiukka bängeri kaikkine funkkikikkoineen, mutta muutoin vähän turha. Ostin joskus vinskalla kirpparilta hyllyyn ja taitaapi olla ihan hinnoissa, mut ei tää kyl jatkoon mee 2/5

That's some club electro stuff. Not my jam, but I see the fun allure.

Not my stuff but I'm sure it was good for someone else. Still better than lorde

I’m just not into this style of music.

not as bad as I would have imagined, but it went downhill in the second half

This is not for me.

Just not my vibe on the whole, sorry guys. Red Alert and Bingo Bango were absolute bangers though (and I enjoyed the Jazzalude)! The last song was also nice, but I didn't care for the rest at all

Not my thing, but I get why people like it.

In a bit of research, I learned that this album was the result of Basement Jaxx being displeased with the state of dance/electronic/house music, and this album was intended to redefine the genre. I'm guessing they didn't accomplish their goal, because I fail to hear what is so genre-defying on this album. Most of the tracks seem thematically scattered and musically unpolished, like we are hearing an album full of demos. It wasn't a great listen, but it was tolerable. Honestly, I would not even find most of this music to be very danceable. The experiment to redefine the electronic space kind of fell flat and remained just that: an experiment.

Not memorable Cover art 4/5

El inicio me gustó, movido sin ser atascado. La variedad de sonidos que usa es grande y el uso diálogos me parece queda bien también. Poco a poco se va tornando más raro, usa ahora sonidos menos agradables o bien francamente molestos. Supongo que por ahí radica la genialidad de este disco aunque no la pude encontrar. 2.5 que bajo a dos porque no creo volver a escuchar este disco.

Tiene el sonido perfecto para lo que es: dance de finales de los 90 o principios de los 2000. A menos de media canción me sentí transportó a alguna horrible tardeada de mi pubertad. Me queda claro que la intención de esto no es escucharlo sentado trabajando, sino que es material para ser usado en sets en vivo, mezclado con más cosas. De ahí que alcance la segunda estrella. Pero la neta, no me gustó.

Is it weird to say this record feels... sloppy? The first few tracks are painful, with difficult grooves and a kind of maximalist approach where everything and the kitchen sink got thrown it. The middle of the record gets good, but the ending tracks fall to the same issues. I can hear the influence this record had on UK Garage and even Dubstep (both the Skirllex and Burial kind), but overall I'm just unsatisfied. Favorite tracks: "Bingo Bango", "Red Alert"

Juro que tento na música eletrônica mas não consigo gostar

It's clever and catchy. But it's house. I didn't like dance music from my generation (disco), so I'm even less enamoured with EDM.

Aikalailla geneerisen oloista ysärijytkettä, ei oikein napostellut, mutta ei toisaalta ihan ehkä pahinta kuraa. Selviää rimaa hipoen kakkosella.

its like experimental electronic music which means while maybe at some points interesting makes for not as pleasant listening experience. and at many points the album and songs are not really coherent.

Las canciones de este disco son jaulas en las que se aprietan un montón de sonidos distintos para ver si se pelean entre sí o se llevan bien. En la mayoría de ellas hay que limpiar la sangre pero en algunas parece que la mezcla funciona. Estoy hablando de “Bingo Bango”, “Stop 4 Love”, “Don’t Give Up” y la mítica “Red Alert”, tantas veces puesta en la MTV en nuestra adolescencia. El resto consiste en repetir sonidos continuamente y se hace tedioso; en el caso de “Same Old Show”, hasta incómodo, ya que son seis minutos de un gemido femenino en un intento fallido de emular el “Love To Love You Baby” de Donna Summer. Es peor este Remedy que la enfermedad.

not for me

not being a fan of electric music, it was hard for me to get into.

This is music for the club and I can see why it would be enjoyable there. Outside of that however it is not really enjoyable.

4/10

Not my style

2.7

First Listen. About what I expected. It's ok for me. 2/5

Actually liked this better than I expected, especially considering how I typically feel about house/electronic music. I bet I would have fun listening to this in a club, and I know that listening at home obviously isn't the ideal listening experience, but it just gets so boring for me after a while Saved: Rendez-Vu*, Red Alert

1 tune, the rest aren't my type of vibe

i think 1999 was just a pretty tough year for music in general. someone uploaded something by them to my (super totally rad, btw) free mp3 server back then, and i almost deleted it as soon as i heard it. this album, and the passing of 20+ years, has not changed that assessment.

A couple of ok songs and a few painfully bad ones. Started out pretty meh then just got worse. Very 1999.

Chavviest album so far.

Top 3 1. (11) Bingo Bango 2. (2) Yo-yo 3. (6) Red Alert Bonus: (1) Rendez-Vu

It's low hanging fruit to say electronic albums are repetitive, but this is repetitive. Maybe it was groundbreaking in 1999, but it doesn't seem so.

Was disappointed in this one.

Not my thing. I find the repetition hard to deal with track after track. It started out pretty okay, but became weary by the end. I'm not sure driving is the way to listen to this one. Favourite track: I dunno. "U Can't Stop Me."

I'm sorry, I could not get through it. I guess even blends of electronica/house just aren't my thing.

2

A lot of filler and thematically muddled, this makes for a difficult listen. Not the album I remember it being.

Als je er niet te veel op let, valt het nog relatief mee.

It's just house music, but I do appreciate all the little details Basement Jaxx put in. 2.5 really, their 2nd album would get a full 3

false

Not my style

Dance mix

Just not my type of music and music that's suitable to listen in a full album setting

Muistan joskus aikoinaan jotain ko. "artistin" musaa kuunnelleeni, mutta tämä pläjäys ei ollut alkuunkaan tuttu. Kerran kuunteli läpi ja riemuiten vaihdoin seuraavaan. Ei jatkoon.

Kind of had this on and it melted into my day. Which maybe makes it a good album?

Very interesting cover and songs were too much for me

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

Not good

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Compared to this shit spotify ads are real bangers.

Electronic strange music.

Not a fan

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

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.

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.

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

No lo pude terminar de escuchar

What was the point of this?

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

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.

Fuck no.

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

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

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.

1 -TERRIBLE

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.

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

Not for me

My ears hurt

Nope

I only got through Rendez-Vu in its entirety, started skipping after that, and tapped out in Red Alert. This album would be fun if it's 1999 and you're absolutely piss drunk at a packed club, probably! I don't know though, I was six when this album dropped. Also it looks like their most recent EP uses AI art for the cover and video, so 👎

too electronic. not enjoyable.

Made it a minute - Not my thing

I don't like this.

This is bad. Sorry. I don't care for Electronica, and in particular, this offered me little. There are some edges of Electronica that I can dig (Elastica, Deee-Lite, Technotronic). But this? No.

nie bylo to remedium na moje negatywne uczucia do muzyki tanecznej

This could be based on 100,001 albums and this one still shouldn’t have made the list. Avoid this one at all costs.

If I heard it in a club I would dance for sure, but purely listening it wasn’t great. I do appreciate that the albums aren’t all just rock though, getting some house, jazz, etc.

Mostly skips.

so not my thing

Todella rasittavaa kuunneltavaa. En ole tälläisen jumputusmusiikin suurin ystävä, mutta lähdin silti avoimin mielin kuuntelemaan tätä. Oli tässä joitakin hyviä hetkiä, mutta lähes tunnin pituinen kokonaisuus ei ansaitse yhtä tähteä enempää. Haasteen huonoin levy tähän mennessä.

this is so not for me. i get what type of scenarios it would be cool in but i honestly hate this so much. it's just odd dance music from the 90s/early 2000s an i don't like it

Its 7:30 AM, time for your british electro-slop!!!! - Robert Dimery This album is so boring

This felt like party music, but wasn’t really my style.

It's a very simple sound and not well done.

Boring, mostly just noise a couple of tracks resembled music e.g. the last track "Being with U', but they were meh.

Annoying.

0.8/5 This has never been my style of music and this album did nothing to change my opinion. I've only heard where's your head at, and I actually like that song but unfortunately it's not on this album.

Fuck 90s electronica. This one may just be a lifetime achievement award by all the albums just like this on this list that came before this, but I just can’t fucking take it anymore. These albums all crawled around and shat themselves so that other electronic music could point, laugh and run.

1/2/25. Found this boring. Red Alert is a good song, but couldn't connect with this one.

How did so much electronic music sneak its way into this book? It feels like every single person who ever received a Casio keyboard as a gift was handed a recording deal and guaranteed a spot on the list. Hands down, this was the most painful one I’ve had to slog through.

Mind-numbingly repetitive, superficial, empty, soulless.

QUE TORTURA MEU DEUS

This album was so boring, every song was either noise or soulless.

This is not an album for me.

😐

First listen Saved 2/15 Top track: Rendez-Vu

Je suis passée à côté du concept.

Weird 90s electro music

I remember this coming out in the day. I never bought the album. Now I remember why. There is no reason to remember or listen to this album anymore. It's time has passed into history where it should be left.

Nah 1.5/5

Das war anstrengend. Das klang für mich wie eine langweilige und noch anstrengendere Version von Daft Punk. Puh. Zu lang und alles gleich. Das war wirklich nichts für mich.

The only song I didn’t mind on this was Bingo Bango. The rest of it was just too much.

God this list is full of terrible electronica albums

Sigh, more 90s electronica. Tuneless, repetitive background music.

Awful. I hate this music.

Ei yhtään mun juttu. Ihme edm

Not for me

Not for me

A FIRM and HEARTY 0/5. I can think of about four bars across this entire album that made me think: “I don’t want to die right now.”

Did not enjoy

Lol boring

Oh goodie. More forgotten and forgettable electronica.

Bad!

this sucks man so much

Jeg ved ikke hvad det er meningen jeg skal tænke om det her

Ніколи не думав, що хауз може бути настіки вихолощений та ніякий

Ei tällainen itseään toistava kone jumputus ole koskaan kiinnostanut

Why are there SO MANY @%#^#^#% 90'S UK ELECTRONICA ALBUMS?!?!?!?!!? This is my 3rd one this week. Yeah sure it was an important genre for a brief period of time, but there are like 50 of these albums and they are always an hour long. Did we need all of them? No. This albums is by far the worst one out of all the other UK Electronica albums. It is Soooooo annoying. It's like they tried to make the least danceable music. Usually in dance music the drums and instruments are played straight to make it easy to dance to but not here, songs like U Can't Stop Me, they just awkwardly start and stop each measure. And every song has to have the most annoying vocals ever. This feels like a shitpost. This is one of the worst albums I have ever heard. Low 1.

Boring and generic
