| “ | Since the Chemical Brothers explosion, new big-beat acts from the U.K. are greeted with skepticism, but Propellerheads are no copycats. Alex Gifford and Will White did the usual groundwork by releasing singles and EPs before giving up a full album. The groovy single "History Repeating," featuring '60s cabaret vocalist Shirley Bassey, plays slightly into the lounge revival of the late '90s but with a James Bond-esque style that grabs attention similar to Portishead's "Sour Times." The recurring spy film theme makes this a perfect soundtrack for Austin Powers's first rave--"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is actually a Bond remake.cut-ups reminiscent of De La Soul, who appear on "360° (Oh Yeah?)." Shifting tempos from laidback to lightning-fast with exceptional ease, Decksandrumsandrockandroll is a solid collection of funky, jazzy, hip-hop-influenced dance music that has earned its mainstream acceptance by delivering the goods. Unveiling a smashing command of plugged-in beats, Propellerheads craft an ultra-concise crossover sound whose brute brilliance ensures it needn't apologize for its own populism. Utterly snappy and effortlessly inclusive, it zooms past crankier, knottier sources and antecedents ... erasing the memory of less slick stuff.... On Decksandrumsandrockandroll, Propellerheads' mighty fluff triumphs.[http://www.amazon.com] | ” |
