Basement Jaxx: Kish Kash (2003): Reviews (659 words)
Kish Kash may be the best dance record of 2003, but it's the least imaginative LP the duo have ever released.
Review 1:Kish Kash suffers from a surfeit of ideas and sounds; quite simply there is too much going on here.
Most of Kish Kash sounds like the album they intended to make after Remedy.
Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash (376 words)
Kish Kash tends to sound very much like the kind of music that might be pumped in some kind of Technicolour cyberpunk squat rave.
From the Timberlake parodies by a Mr Meshell Ndengacello on two of the albums tracks, to the hi-fi latin breaks of Tonight, to the techno-punk of the quasi-title track, to the southern voodoo-swing of Supersonic, to the grimy Bollywood momentum of Lucky Star, the Jaxx juggle influences effortlessly.
A mover and a total banger this one might be, but elsewhere on Kish Kash, the over-saturated sound works to its disadvantage.
