Since the Chemical Brothers explosion, new big-beat acts from the U.K. are greeted with skepticism, but Propellerheads are no copycats. Alex Gifford and Will White did the usual groundwork by releasing singles and EPs before giving up a full album. The groovy single "History Repeating," featuring '60s cabaret vocalist Shirley Bassey, plays slightly into the lounge revival of the late '90s but with a James Bond-esque style that grabs attention similar to Portishead's "Sour Times." The recurring spy film theme makes this a perfect soundtrack for Austin Powers's first rave--"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is actually a Bond remake. Propellerheads also slip in full-on "rock" jams ("Bang On!") and slick urban cut-ups reminiscent of De La Soul, who appear on "360 (Oh Yeah?)." Shifting tempos from laidback to lightning-fast with exceptional ease, Decksandrumsandrockandroll is a solid collection of funky, jazzy, hip-hop-influenced dance music that has earned its mainstream acceptance by delivering the goods. --Liisa Ladouceur

 Simply Incredible September 26, 2008
This album is sick. I would rate it up there with Crystal Method's 'Vegas.' It's possibly even better. If you like trance, techno or even albums with sweet grooves and creativity, then buy it!
 I can`t review the item I never got the CD it was mailed to the wrong address September 14, 2007

Very good electronical music with a few several pist generic of james bond.
A very good experience. That was a long time that m' looking for.
a pleasant surprise May 12, 2007
the propellerheads are a pleasant surprise on the lounge music scene. the beats they whip up into their tunes are faster than usual, peppy and zingy. they are a perfect accompaniment for retail environments and luxury car advertisments.
but as they make the heart race, they also listen pretty well. from the track 'black velvet pants' to the end, it's a great, jazz-infused ride featuring smaples from john barry and a vocal guest spot by 60s icon shirley bassey.
Great CD! January 26, 2007

My brother owned this and he said I should give it a listen. Being skeptical, I did. I was blown away! There is not a bad track on this CD.
