	Basement Jaxx: Kish Kash (2003): Reviews
		Kish Kash may be the best dance record of 2003, but it's the least imaginative LP the duo have ever released.
		Review 1:Kish Kash suffers from a surfeit of ideas and sounds; quite simply there is too much going on here.
		Most of Kish Kash sounds like the album they intended to make after Remedy.

	Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash
		Kish Kash tends to sound very much like the kind of music that might be pumped in some kind of Technicolour cyberpunk squat rave.
		From the Timberlake parodies by a Mr Meshell Ndengacello on two of the albums tracks, to the hi-fi latin breaks of Tonight, to the techno-punk of the quasi-title track, to the southern voodoo-swing of Supersonic, to the grimy Bollywood momentum of Lucky Star, the Jaxx juggle influences effortlessly.
		A mover and a total banger this one might be, but elsewhere on Kish Kash, the over-saturated sound works to its disadvantage.

	KISH KASH >>>>>>>>> SPEAKERBOXXX/THE LOVE BELOW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Kish Kash is great, no doubt, but I only listened to it for about two weeks straight instead of the two months of Speakerboxxx (and I didn't listen to The Love Below as much as either).
		Kish Kash is not even a house record, it's more like a big beat record - or even a mash-up record except that these are of course all original tracks.
		Kish Kash I like because it's a big, messy, overripe pop record that sounds like it's about to burst: it's not my favourite album this year but it seems to sum up a lot of what I heard in pop music this year.

	The Yale Herald - November 14, 2003 - basement jaxx - kish kash
		Kish Kash ends the wait: Basement Jaxx's third album is an astonishing collection of pop music—an unrelenting demand for dancing lasting 50 full minutes.
		The Jaxx have long had an uncanny ability to surmount the internal and external ghettoization of dance music: Genres like trance, house, and drum 'n' bass seem to mean little to the duo, and on Kish Kash their stylistic appetite ranges from eastern music to garage rock to hip-hop.
		Kish Kash serves as a bracing reminder of how often DJs and dancers settle for both the most boring, repetitive kinds of house and trance and the least adventurous kinds of pop and oldies; in fact, the album is almost subversive—it's barely recognizable as dance music.

	Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash @ Soundbug
		Title track "Kish Kash" with vocals by punk legend Siouxshie doesn't quite catch fire and "Plug It In," with vocals from musical pariah J C Chavez (N Sync) builds into a dense production number that sounds modern, catchy, and exciting.
		Kish Kash also features such varied artists as JC Chasez ("Plug it In"), Dizzee Rascal ("Lucky Star"), and Siouxsie Soux ("Cish Cash").
		Kish Kash works fantastically for all these reasons and for its genre-defying sound, but it can also work to its detriment.

	Medialunchbox - Music : Kish Kash (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With all its genre-defying tricks, Kish clearly owes a debt to the millenarian bootleg craze, but these songs are more than novelty mash-ups, they’re songs, and this is an album you’ll play years from now.
		"Kish Kash" is no exception, but this time they take their cue from the likes of Prince -- which is never a bad thing, since Prince has always been an artist known to experiment with his sound.
		I bought Kish Kash not even knowing there was another album coming out and expected to be blown away.

		On Kish Kash Basement Jaxx reinvent their style in the coolest of ways.
		The clear punk -meets-house sound of Kish Kash is in my opinion a thoroughly crafted sound that shows that Basement Jaxx can produce music with much deeper layers than anything previously heard from them.
		'Kish Kash' is a curious name for an LP - but here it's apt because it is a meltdown of styles - a fusion of funk, electro and house - a mish-mash of ideas if you will.

		Although the record doesn't have the ingenuity of the latter, there are similarities in the composition: layers of tweaks, beeps and found sounds create a soundscape backdrop for the music.
		It's unlikely that Kish Kash will be considered Jaxx's best album, but it is their biggest departure yet.
		All in all, 'Kish Kash' is an amazingly cool fusion of funk, rock and house with some pumping tracks that'll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: Basement Jaxx: Kish Kash
		It's rare for a new act today to sustain the same style for three consecutive albums and still sound fresh and vital, but the Jaxx have managed to do so by infusing their music with the flavor of the pop music scene of the moment.
		In '01, every alt-music 'zine was rushing to be the next to herald the rebirth of indie rock, and "Where's Your Head At" was the massive rock-house crossover hit of the year.
		Kish Kash's almost-title track "Cish Cash" picks up where "Head" left off, with an even more propulsive rock drive, but the album's main theme is the aftermath of the pop mash-up.

		"Kish Kash" is, in my view, the duo's most consistent joint to date, and it easily eclipses their last two efforts.

	Basement Jaxx: Kish Kash (2003): Reviews
		Quite how or where the new album fits into the contemporary music landscape isn't clear, but what's recognizable and of import is that somewhat out of time, Basement Jaxx have produced their best sustained effort so far.

	Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Album - Basement Jaxx
		Sadly, the correct tense is 'made', because their latest offering 'Kish Kash', whilst still suitably eclectic, struggles to offer the same level of excitement that previous Jaxx albums provided.
		There are a few more glimmers of an upturn in the shape of 'Tonight' and 'Cish Cash', but those aside, 'Kish Kash' is only half a good album, and at this stage in their career, Basement Jaxx really needed to deliver a classic album.
		Kish Kash is a goodish album, with a few great original tracks, but the style of music may have changed too much.

	Kish Kash: triple j music reviews
		Kish Kash is their third album and it follows in the footsteps of their successful debut Remedy and 2001’s Rooty.
		Kish Kash departs from the irritating comonality of "Wheres your 'ead at???" and moves into a new realm of electronica.
		A broad range of music styles and genres are featured on "Kish Kash" - which is easily the best Basement Jaxx LP to date.

	The Pinocchio Theory » Blog Archive » Kish Kash
		I didn’t immediately fall in love with Basement Jaxx‘; new album Kish Kash the way I did with their previous two albums (Remedy and Rooty).
		I mean,those were almost perfect pop recaords: taking house and electronic dance in such new directions that they seemed to be entirely original and new, and to fulfill some sort of Platonic ideal of what pop music was supposed to be.
		But Kish Kash has grown on me with repeated listenings, and now I’m convinced it is as great as anything else Basement Jaxx has done.

	Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash - Stylus Magazine
		Kish Kash suffers from a surfeit of ideas and sounds; quite simply there is too much going on here.
		Hence Kish Kash, like Rooty and Remedy before it, has neither the space and flow of a cohesively great album or the intensity of focus and energy that characterises a classic singles collection (think Singles Going Steady).
		It’s not that each track does a separate thing as the Jaxx surf their way through funk, punk, northern soul, disco, hip hop, bhangra, stomping rhythm ’n’ blues, electro pulse and the remains of acid house; it’s that each track does several different things, spinning your head round to the point of migraine.

		Kish Kash, by their previous standards, is the most produced, but that has not stolen any of their creativity.
		Check out the tracks "Good Luck", "Right Here's the Spot", "If I Ever Recover", "Kish Kash" (LOVE Siouxsie - the fact that they were able to procure this reclusive icon is a testament to their influence and the sway of their talent) "Tonight", "Hot and Cold", and "Feels Like Home" and you'll be hooked too.

	Eyeball Kid - Basement Jaxx - Kish Kash - Album Review
		‘Kish Kash’, the Brixton duo’s third album, is similar, though once again the scope of their music is so wide it’s hard to predict what lead others will follow.
		There are few moments of quiet on ’Kish Kash’, save the odd spaced-out interludes.
		This may have as much to do with their unpretentious dance floor spirit, as their own originality, but it ensures ‘Kish Kash’ will be filling dance floors in winter months ahead.

	Basement Jaxx (Kish Kash) mxdwn.com review by Ben De Leon
		Kish Kash, the third album from Jaxxers Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton, may well be considered their “concept album” — one opting for radical experimentation rather than the danceable house that made them famous.
		Kish Kash starts off promising enough with “Good Luck,” a soulful track featuring the vocals (and attitude) of Lisa Kekaula from L.A. based rock/r&b group the BellRays.
		Both experimentation and name-dropping prove to be a double-edged sword for Kish Kash; it is what makes the album intriguing yet unfocused at the same time.

	BBC - OneMusic - Hear it first: Basement Jaxx
		'Kish Kash' is cool - a big bag of musica shopping crammed into a tin of peas - I can't wait to hear Siouxsie's new stuff too.
		I think Kish Kash needs to be out NOW so I can make myself sick of it by listening to it too many times.
		They said it was going to be difficult, they worried about it not sounding fresh, yet Felix and Simon deliver a third album that sounds like a lifetime of influences carefully brought together on one stunner of an album.

	Where's Your Club At?
		A perfect example of Basement Jaxx's new “maximalist” credo is Kish Kash's opening track, “Good Luck.” With The BellRays' vocalist Lisa Kekaula vamping like Gladys Knight of old, the song revels in blitzkrieg bass, galloping thunder drums and Curtis Mayfield chinka-chink guitars, with the cinematic spirit of Philly-soul strings infusing it all.
		After these hyperactive extravaganzas, Kish Kash cools with songs such as “If I Ever Recover,” “Tonight” and “Living Room” (with Me'Shell NdegéOcello) creating chilly mood music for adults who are too tired to shake that thang.
		Kish Kash is chock-full of detail, and although the Basement Jaxx boys are upbeat about their future, they admit that they don't really know what that future is. Fittingly, Kish Kash closes with eerie Minimoog tones akin to a futuristic mob of horny aliens cruising for nubile human flesh.

	BBC - collective - basement jaxx 'kish kash'
		Kish Kash trips along on a typical Jaxx diet of Latin house, twisted garage and general raucousness, leaving Dizzee Rascal, Siouxsie Sioux and Meshell Ndegeocello to add the vocal flavours.
		As with all the Jaxx stuff, it occasionally buckles under the sheer weight of ideas, and it may be too chaotic for some, but Felix and Simon have developed a style all their own.

	Tower Records - Kish Kash - Basement Jaxx
		On their third album, the UK duo of Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton joins the ranks of the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim by including a remarkable roster of high-profile guest artists that extends to soul/funk diva Me'Shell NdegeOcello and up-and-coming British rapper Dizzee Rascal.
		KISH KASH opens with the energetic "Good Luck," which presents the buoyant, Motown-influenced vocals of Lisa Kekaula against a loopy backdrop of distorted synthesizer and a full string section.
		A fun, clever, and always unpredictable outing, KISH KASH is house music for people who don't think they like house music.
