75. Basement Jaxx - Rooty (2001)
"Delectable and dizzy housed up party popping funktropic bonanza" I said back in 2001 about this album. That statement still makes sense to me and its naivety made sense in a wise way when I sat down with a glass of red in the Sidewinder Pub, Brighton and heard this again for the first time in a few years and it really struck me as being the perfect pop album. The production involved is technically superb and it sounds like so much fun. 2001 was the year I went to Ibiza and the archetypal beach bar Bora Bora had a 'Rooty' sticky on their fridge and that loony gorilla in that hedonistic setting seemed to make the most glorious sense in that naive, wise head.
