Finally, Basement Jaxx's long-awaited full-length, Remedy, has been issued in the U.S. It's aptly titled, to be sure: the production duo's record is a remedy to the dull, faceless house and techno that populates dance floors. The duo are unrepentantly pop savvy, bringing vocals and lyrics to their unique blend of electro, house, hip-hop, salsa, and soul. It's a weird combo, but like the best of all pop songs, Basement Jaxx tracks stick like putty to the ears within a few listens. In fact, you may feel that you've already heard much of Remedy when you give it a spin on your CD player. With their boisterous samples, vocal hooks, and funked-out, catchy bass lines, the songs "Rendez-vu," "Yo-Yo," and "Red Alert" seem like familiar friends, rather than just the next big thing. --Tricia Romano

Product Description:
A set of incredibly diverse tracks, 'Remedy' is indebted to the raw American house of Todd Terry and Masters at Work, and even shares the NuYoricans' penchant for Latin vibes (especially on the horn-driven 'Bingo Bango' and the opener, 'Rendez-Vu,' which trades a bit of salsa wiggle with infectious vocoderized disco). 15 tracks, including 'Red Alert' and 'Rendez-Vu', on this Astralwerks release.

Always on the lookout for a new hot cd or the next artist who will totally blow me away, I stumbled upon Basement Jaxx's highly-touted single "red alert" and the subsequent cd "remedy". I purchased said cd and guess what...I was Not impresed. Dont get me wrong, some songs were ok like "rendevous", but overall, the beats and production did not blow me away(generic house with bland instrumentation) If u really want some excellent french-house/techno, check out Daft Punk, Dj Dimitri, Cassius, or as a last resort, Air, but leave Basement Jaxx in the basement-A.N.
