What’s cock and what’s rock in the world of dance
Rennie Pilgrem Pilgremage (Thursday Club Recordings
00 ) Dated break beat. provmg why FatbOy Slim-ster big beat is already a dead form (and has been for many years).
David Guetta Guetta Blaster
(EMI ooo ) Solid floor fillers that Just manage to stay on the right Side of Stilton. Slightly one dimensional but the second half ups the stakes With guest spots from Stereo MCs. Miss Thing and James Perry.
Various Artists Juiced: The Soundtrack (Family Recordings ooo ) Yikes — a soundtrack to a video game. These things have come a long way in recent years. a bit all over the shop as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Hellacopters rub shoulders with Roni Size and DaVid Holmes. but there are some killer tracks amongst this schizophrenic assonment.
St Etienne The Trip (Family Recordings 00 ) Yet another of those ‘Back to Mine-style mixes that seem to be all the rage. DeSpite some interesting chOices (Serge Gairtsturg. the Supremes) this still melts into chill out boredom.
Vector Lovers (Soma oo ) Swampy electro futurism that‘s Just too understated. never IiVing up to the portent of titles such as 'Telecom Meltdown’ or 'Futures in Plastic'.
Baby Mammoth, Beige 8. Solid Doctor Fabn’c18 (Fabric 000 ) Hull may not be renowned as a fountain of culture — perhaps that's why this has a refreshing taste compared with so many mix CDs out there. It's jazzy. dubby. resonating echoey house that doesn't quite fit into any neat little box. Just like all the best things. The Unabombers Electric Soul 2 (PIAS ooo ) The Unabombers mix up the second CD for new age soul specialists Manchester's Electric Chair. Urban cuts with deep resonating R88. rich vocals. funk and true soul (none of this diluted chart shite). The Carl Craig remix of ‘lncognito' is a particularly welcome addition. (Henry Northmore)
