HMV Review

On his first album since striking worldwide gold with a remix of Elvis' A Little Less Conversation, Junkie XL gathers a clever group of collaborators and celebrates the anything goes spirit of the digital age. Before you go thinking that Radio JXL is another flashy exercise in excess like the Elvis single, check the excellent Tennis, a laid-back and loose groover that shows tasteful restraint. Unlike the glittery Funkstar de Luxe -- who started the trend of remixing the dead with multiple Bob Marley mixes -- Junkie XL has vision and ideas that go well past cheeky rebirths. One of the best is having the snarl of former Republica vocalist Saffron on three tracks. Her cool and cocky style sits well on top of Junkie's cinematic and driving music, and a full-length from the two would be more than welcome. Elsewhere a lost Peter Tosh track gets respectfully housed, Dave Gahan, Gary Numan, and Grant Nicholas from Feeder deliver emotive epics, and former Specials-man Terry Hall goes completely boisterous and bonkers on a bouncy and infectious rave-up. The Chuck D and Solomon Burke appearances are disappointingly moderate, but a second disc of spacious and chilled beats that flows extremely well makes up for it. You don't have to stop there if you follow Junkie's plan. The liner notes point to a website he's constructed around the album with two more discs to download and a 24-hour radio station that streams alternate mixes and unreleased Radio JXL tracks day and night. The only quibble is that sticking the Elvis cut on the American version is a tacky record company move that messes up the flow of the album a bit while sacrificing some rather good collaborations with Infusion. Still, it's an exciting album in both execution and concept with much more substance than expected. [A Japanese version included bonus tracks.] ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

    彼は器用すぎて、なかなか方向性が定まらない感はあるのだが・・・。このアルバムもけっこう賛否両論あったと思うけれど、個人的には優れたポップアルバムとして相当楽しめた。凄いゲスト陣ばかり注目されるけど、それをまとめ上げたJXLの腕は確か。

    '03年発表。ラジオJXLから全世界に向けて発信されるプログラムがコンセプト。チャックD、ゲイリー・ニューマン、ソロモン・バークらをゲストに迎え、ポップかつダンサブル、そして自由奔放な架空番組が繰り広げられる。今作は、欧州のDJが作るダンス作のように、ポップ・サイドを前面に押し出した仕上がり。

    それぞれの曲でボーカルが違い、幅広いジャンルを楽しめる。日本版は流れも最高。どの曲もいいけど、Cureのロバート・スミスをフィーチャーしたPerfect Blue Skyは最高の名曲だと思います。感動で涙が… この曲が注目されないのは本当に残念。絶対みんな聴くべきだ。あとELVIS vs JXLが入ってないのは”特別扱い”ということなんですかね。良かったような悪かったような…
