  • Summary: The British house trio has been performing, producing, and remixing for ten years, but 'Muzikizum' represents their first album, highlighted by the breakout UK hit single "Lazy" featuring guest vocals from David Byrne.

  1. 100
    An album full of highly dramatic and almost cinematic entertainment moments.
  2. Mojo
    90
    This is a raging leviathan of a set, each track a powerful, swaggering anthem. [May 2002, p.97]
  3. Uncut
    80
    This album will appeal equally to hard house and handbag crowds alike. [May 2002, p.113]
  4. Blender
    60
    What makes this more than just efficient dance-floor fodder are the guest vocalists. [#9, p.158]
  5. X-Press 2 are like a dancefloor Oasis; great at pleasing the crowds, less good at innovation, and fatally weakened by their reverence for washed-up old rockers.
  6. Q Magazine
    60
    Mature rather than groundbreaking. [May 2002, p.122]
  7. Muzikizum is informed by a slim, spare aesthetic that sounds more 1992 than 2002, evoking simply produced, imperial-sounding tracks from Spooky and Leftfield; in other words, the glory days of progressive house.
