The 2002 debut album from X-Press 2 is made up of previous 12" releases and new material and is very much a dance floor/club album with nine of its ten tracks celebrating various flavours and timbres of contemporary UK house music. Tunes like ‘Smoke Machine,’ ‘Angel,’ ‘AC/DC’ and ‘Supasong’ are dark, tribal, progressive house, made up of layers of looped percussion and gnarly synth riffs, while ‘Call That Love’ and crossover hit ‘Lazy’ featuring David Byrne are slick vocal house. In contrast, “Palenque”’s stripped-back synth burbles and trimmed, taut beats have more in common with techno than house and album finisher ‘The Ending’ also recalls the more euphoric side of Detroit techno too.
