Title: The Evolution of House
Review: Every so often, house takes an evolutionary step. Sometimes it hearkens to the past, like Daft Punk's lo-fi funk. At other times, it points to the future, like Basement Jaxx' 'Remedy.''Night Works' IS the future. The basslines are direct, the percussion loose yet exact, the melodies moving. They do a great job of combining a live-band's flair with sequenced, thoughtful musings. The whole album resides in the realm of groove, both uptempo and downtempo. 'All Night Long' is the big club hit off the album, and deservedly so, but the true high point is ...I can't say - you'll have to find out for yourself.
