Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

How do you follow up such a massive debut album and still keep the same mainstream-versus-underground appeal? Well ask Basement Jaxx because they've done it with their second album Rooty. The vibe of Rooty is very much in keeping with its predecessor Remedy... a non-stop party. Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, the duo behind Basement Jaxx, could make a funeral march sound cheerful and ripe for dancing to. This they do with the surprising "Get Me Off", which has one of the darkest, nastiest sub-bass lines the pair have yet produced but which still comes up smiling. The lead single "Romeo" features Kele Le Roc and is a characteristically sugar-soaked house track with a good-time vibe, sounding a little like 1980s carnival band Amazulu. Many of the tracks have a real retro influence of soulful disco, with "Jus 1 Kiss" successfully mixing hugely complex and original production with a four-to-the-floor feel, like a latter-day Earth, Wind & Fire. It is a unique talent that Basement Jaxx share with only a few other artists: they can create music with mainstream appeal without compromising any of their more unusual ideas. Rooty reveals once again that under that quirky pop exterior Basement Jaxx remain skilfully different and unusually innovative. --David Trueman


CD Description

Basement Jaxx's second album follows 1999's 'Remedy' and includes the single 'Romeo'. 'Rooty' contains more of their funk influenced house music. It was named after the underground parties that band members Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buntonused to throw in Brixton.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums of 2001, 14 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I do not see how Basement Jaxx was able to combine so many music styles into one album, and then make it all sound so great! They did it in "Remedy", and again in "Rooty". This is one of the few albums that I own in which I actually listen to every song. It is impossible to label one specific track as my favourite, as all of them are superb. Some of the ones that really stand-out, though, are "Jus 1 Kiss", "Get Me Off", "Where's Your Head At?", "Crazy Girl", and of course the most famous one, "Romeo". I think Basement Jaxx produces some of the most awesome bass-lines in music today and their eclectic style is quite unique, as very few artists indeed are able to do what they do. This album is perfect if you want to dance all night without buying a compilation CD or constantly changing CDs, because none of the songs sound the same. You could tell me that every track was by a different artist and I would believe you if I didn't know better. It is one of the most difinitive and best European albums of 2001.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Joy of Jaxx, 31 Jan 2004
Maybe I'm just tainted by my deep love of their other two albums, Remedy and Kish Kash, but I adore this album. Sure, it's not as long or immediate as the other two, but give it a few listens and you'll be hooked. Oddly, it's the tracks that weren't pressed as singles that really grabbed my attention - Breakaway, Sexy Feline Machine and Crazy Girl really captured my imagination. If you love the Jaxx dearly, as I do, there's no reason why you shouldn't own this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basement Jaxx at their best, 17 Jul 2001
By A Customer
From hearing the excellent opening track (Romeo)to the finalle this is a brilliant album. Pretty typical for Basement Jaxx's genre but what makes the album so outstanding has got to be track 9 - Where's Your Head At? Loads of beats and some excellent melodies all topped off with some impressive lyrics so this album is a definate must buy!

There's maybe 2, possibly 3 decent tracks on this album. The rest is pure filler. It's not grooving enough to dance to and it's not interesting enough to grace my late night CD... Read more
