Synopsis

Amazon.com

If you had to explain dance music to someone from another planet, you could simply play On the Floor at the Boutique for the curious creature. Besides being a great party album, this Lo Fidelity Allstars DJ remix disc is like a crash course in late-20th-century grooves. Hip-hop, techno, R&B, house, big beat, go-go, and more are all part of this expansive set. Even a couple of late-'60s soul tracks wind up on the CD. When the band's eerie, atmospheric intro, "You're Never Alone with a Clone," segues into the infectious '90s R&B of Blackstreet's "No Diggity," you know the album is going to hop genres with abandon. Rather than crafting a finely contoured, ever-building DJ set, the British big-beat group goes for broke: the CD is an unrelenting rush from one energy peak to another. Amazingly, the Allstars actually manage to pull off this take-no-prisoners approach without dulling the senses. Boutique is a 73-minute olio of fever-pitched dance mania. --Fred Cisterna

CD Reviews

Disappointing, but depends on frame of reference.

"I had recently bought Fatboy Slim's On The Floor at the Boutique. That really was a fantastic album, and I keep coming back to it. I wanted to hear more of the series (and 'The Boutique' is a large series), and made this my second selection.I was pretty disappointed. Where Fatboy Slim had a lethal plate of beats and 303's, this album has a lot of remixed old hip-hop songs (Jungle Brothers and Blackstreet). This isn't really bad in and of itself, but it detracts from the main theme of the record: Big Beat. It is, afterall, the Big Beat Boutique, isn't it?So, that having been said, I liked the blackstreet remix. I even liked the Jungle Brothers remix. But I find that I feel "strange" listening to an album that preaches on and on about "blackness," as a white person. Perhaps if the All Stars had focused on the music instead of skin color, the album would have seemed brighter and a little more coherent.Buy used, if at all."

Uneven indeed

"Gotta agree with many of the reviews before me. Not the greatest setflow I've ever witnessed. And some of the segueways are extremely dodgy. On the other hand, there are some great tracks: the KoolKeithesque "Levitation", "What's That Sound" (so you dont have to waste yer cash on the whole Digitalis record, the Berzerk-sampling "Humanoid", "I Need the Disco Doktor" (which actually seems leaner and funkier bookended the way it is). The only other complaint is that, if the track listing above is correct, it looks like due to some licensing issues, the US edition swaps out Felice Taylor's I Can Feel Your Love for a DanMass track. Not an even trade, in my opinion."
