The Singles

Product Information

True to form, part of their work on that follow up was putting on another club night, which they called Rooty. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it became the title of their second album, which was released in 2001. It was another critical and commercial smash, giving the world the deathless hit "Where's Your Head At" in the process. Ever since then they’ve held on to their title of the “other” elder statesmen of British dance music alongside The aforementioned Prodigy with aplomb. They’ve headlined Glastonbury, sold out arenas and collaborated with the likes of Dizzee Rascal and Siouxsie Sioux. They’re a shoo in for the status of national treasures, and it all stemmed from wanting to put on a good party and make some good music. Mission accomplished, I think.

Later editions of The Singles included the "JaxxHouz" radio edit of "U Don't Know Me" in place of the original album version. A special edition of the release included a second disc of previously unreleased material.Singles [ edit ] List of singles, with selected chart positions, showing year released and album name

Basement Jaxx is the electro/dance brain child of Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton. The UK duo has enjoyed a celebrated and commercial career with a number of their singles becoming hits in their homeland as well as having the prestigious opportunity to headline the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury Festival. The reason Basement Jaxx has attained such relevance though is due to the huge production values of their live show.Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.

I have never been more disappointed seeing a headlining act than when I saw Basement Jaxx at Pukkelpop (uhhh have fun at Bestival guys?), and a big reason behind that is the group's decision to strip 'Romeo' down to acoustic guitar and vocals. 'Romeo', Rooty's lead single, is all forward-motion, a relentless percussive machine. It pushes and pushes and pushes until it crumbles away in its final ten seconds. It made no sense to strip a song that lived and died on its forward-motion of its beat. I was pissed off, as you could imagine. But what felt like sacrilege on a Friday night in a cold Belgian field now seems like a half-smart attempt to give the song something. Bless its heart, but 'Romeo' is all perpetual motion and little else. Kele Le Roc does her best with her guest spot, finding moments of grace in her jilted lover guise, but 'Romeo' smothers any emotion in its aggressive pulse.
