Certified iridium banger for a reason, without question. My favorite track, voodoo people (pendulum mix) isn’t on this, but I still sing the chant from Narayan. Just as influential as most of the early works of Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers, the Bassbin Twins, the Crystal Method, Fluke, and so many others. The remix album of this is still just as devastating.

Once you heard pretty much any one of these tracks, you knew this was, and probably always would be, the sound for you.

One of the greatest albums of all time!

Fantastic album, like others have said, it was on heavy rotation in my teens, sounds track to many late night game sessions.

“Smack my Bitch Up” being a hugely popular and influential song, is also part of a long running lost media hunt for me. In the late 00’s there was a youtube video made by a 3d animator as a demo reel. It was an extended anime fight between a yellow and black sentai/robot and a bunch of other robots. SMBU was the soundtrack to the video of course, lots of bits were synced to it.

That was back in the glorious pre-copyright-bot times, and since it was a demo for an unreleased project using a hugely popular song by someone who’s name I’ve long forgotten, I can’t find it! Probably scrubbed off the net by now, the creator moved on to being a cog in the Marvel movie machine.

There is not a single bad track on this entire album. Every track rocks.

Great album. Bought my copy a long time ago. It’s the kind of music I sometimes go for when, of all things, cooking.

Great beats, strong lyrics, a well balanced album overall.

It makes me nostalgic because it was one of the first CDs I owned.

The first was Jock Jams Volume 2, if you were wondering

Fantastic album

This had their “hits”/pop vibe. Invaders must die I think a better album, their real sound. But this is 10 years before, and really the same revolutionary sound/music. Was a big shift from their earlier “Everybody in the place” technohouse.

Great album, I slightly prefer invaders must die over it but i’d put it on par with music for the jilted generation for different reasons though (like both complement each other I’d say)

Great music and a innovative piece of history that set us on the course to crab rave.

Great album, one of my favourites.
Where I’m from Narayan was a summer hit in the dance clubs when it came out, although my friends and I were more into Firestarter and Breathe. I venture saying that it helped bridge punk and dance in a big way.

Is pretty good

Thoughts of how I was gullible enough to fall for the Columbia House scheme.

Great album though.

fucking awesome.

Essentially Public Enemy for apolitical pillheads.
