Future Mythologies

A Textual Journey with Maxwell Von Bismarck

I can't tell if the new Basement Jaxx album Kish Kash is amazingly great or just has a lot of surprises. I tried to listen to Remedy the other night to help me with this decision, and I wasn't really feeling it. Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood, and perhaps all of the Jaxx albums require a specific mood. When the time is right though, the Jaxx make me jump and shout all over the apartment like nothing else. And it's not the ability to make Max dance all over the living room. The vocals in "I Want You" sound like they're exposing a whole new geometry of aural pleasure. Every time I hear a Jaxx song for the first time, I feel like they are sole holders of the key to a new, secret music. Or is it just really complex?
