    Incredible rework of classic Basement Jaxx classics. The song selection is excellent, the solo singers are great, and this is overall a fantastic package. There is no other dance group that could do something like this so well.

    fresh and interesting take on many Basement Jaxx classics and new songs, arranged in classical and bigband style with very few electronic and percussion

    A curio is all it is, though. Jules Buckley's arrangements are inventive, but Basement Jaxx's weaker recent material proves impervious to improvement.

    Cleverly, the arrangements draw attention to what richly layered songs Basement Jaxx have.

    Switching smoothly between contemporary classical orchestrations, big-band jazz and operatic chorale, the results are frequently breathtaking in their audacity.
