The beats were big and bouncy

Hey, anybody remember when they had that stuff called Big Beat?



Who came up with that phrase, anyway? Probably some tosser. But here's a track from that era when Electronica was about to take over the world... only it didn't. I've often wondered if I'm supposed to be happy or sad about that... because who knows what might of happened? It could have lead to things like all-Oakenfold radio stations and Pasty Knob-Twiddler Idol, and those are a couple things we are easily better off without. Oh yeah, the track... so Lionrock was the first project of British DJ/handlebar moustache-rocker extraordinaire Justin Robertson, and it's probably a Top 10 album of the genre... which says either a lot or not much. Yeah, I'm feelin' a bit waffle-y today... sue me. No need to waffle, though, when you have the Chems on the remix and this was one of their better ones...

Lionrock - Packet Of Peace (Chemical Brothers Remix) (ysi)

This is one of those Amazon 1 cent specials right now, and considering it's two discs, I say you go for it. Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1996, yo!
