  1. This blissful joy ride is hard to resist and easy to love.
  2. 100
    Remedy is not only the best dance record of the year, but maybe one of the best ever.
  3. 100
    Remedy is the next great step forward for house music.
  4. Eschewing categories entirely, let's just call this trippy l'il slice of vinyl a masterwork, combining elements of salsa, house, reggae, hip-hop, and ska into one remarkably cohesive whole.
  5. It might not be the dance album of the year - but it's certainly pushing musical boundaries and deserves to be in your record collection.
  6. Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, like the Chemical Bros. before them, have the brains to upend house with music as disparate as Spanish flamenco, bebop, Motown funk, and Philly soul.
  7. I'm sure there are kids out there that think Basement Jaxx is great dance music, but the odds are, they don't know much about jungle.

    It's hard for me to put in words how brilliant this LP is. Pristine production.
