Best album ever heard, play, listen, and and on, buyed already many copies, ptdr , so amazing, start to the end, after Remedy Fly Life, Razorcaine, Jump n Shout, where ..... Romeo , Just 1 Kiss, and the Sleeve, Flake2Neu .. 😉👌🙏 Fav album to my daughter at 6 years old ... so many little sounds ... Get Crazy Funky Slab -
Edited 4 years agoI am surprised by the lukewarm reception this album has received below. I personally think that it's on the same level as the classic Remedy. It's just more song-orientated opposed to the looser dancefloor jam aesthetic of its predecessor; not too unlike the likeminded Daft Punk's sophomore opus Discovery. In both cases, both duos wanted to prove that they could make songs AND still keep the party jumpin'. I'm lucky to have both in my record collection.

An album that is not only dancey, but good for headphone listening as well. Rooty is a house album w/ many influences. "Romeo" the first track, is probably my favourite and is also the perfect intro.. a bittersweet song with an infectious beat. "Breakaway" is an awesome track as well, mixing minimal house with a rolling bass line and lyrics about escaping makes this one of my anthems. The rest of the CD makes its way through many genres and is entertaining the whole way through. (although "SFM" is my least favourite track, it is still way ahead of many of the other house producers out there) Go see Basement Jaxx in "concert" if you want to truly experience this CD!

"rooty" goes a step further than "remedy" direction P-funk. The first five tracks are excellent examples how to mix house and dnb with a P-funk attitude, and also make good songs. then the record goes slowly down. they lose the straightness, wander in beats and samples and couldn't find the way back, and in the end you'll be disappointed. but still they got potential.
