I haven't properly explored Basement Jaxx's studio albums, but they are quite simply a great singles band, something that shines through in this collection. From the ever-fresh "Romeo", to the cheeky "Oh My Gosh", to the carnival atmosphere of "Bingo Bango", there are some cracking tunes here, no doubt. The quality does slide occasionally (particularly on the last two tracks), and "Where's Your Head At" may now annoy you if you had to suffer through hearing it every ten minutes when it was released, but the album does its job and more regardless. Across just three studio albums, the Jaxx have amassed enough true quality to make this a near-essential document for a fan of dance music.
