Review

Propellerheads’ "Decksandrumsandrockandroll" drops you right into a whirlwind of breakbeat and big beat goodness that’s stood strong since its 1998 debut. Jumping into these 26 tracks, you’re immediately hit with the infectious bounce of "Take California," and the legendary Shirley Bassey adds some serious flair to "History Repeating." Each track is crafted so well, you'll feel like you're leveling up with every listen.

This album perfectly balances high-octane beats with chill, atmospheric vibes. Tracks like "Velvet Pants" and the cinematic "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" offer some laid-back magic, while "Bang On!" and "Cominagetcha" bring the heat with rhythms that’ll get your feet tapping like a boss battle. The production on this album is top-notch, crisp, clear, and meticulously mixed—like a perfectly executed speedrun. The playful experimentation in tracks such as "A Number of Microphones" and "Bigger?" shows off the duo's creativity and willingness to push boundaries.

In short, "Decksandrumsandrockandroll" is essential for anyone into electronic music. Its remastered sound and extensive tracklist in the anniversary edition breathe new life into an already legendary album. This isn't just a blast from the past; it's a power-up for your playlist. - Blake
