Product Description
From Amazon.com
If you had to explain dance music to someone from another planet, you could simply play On the Floor at the Boutique for the curious creature. Besides being a great party album, this Lo Fidelity Allstars DJ remix disc is like a crash course in late-20th-century grooves. Hip-hop, techno, R&B, house, big beat, go-go, and more are all part of this expansive set. Even a couple of late-'60s soul tracks wind up on the CD. When the band's eerie, atmospheric intro, "You're Never Alone with a Clone," segues into the infectious '90s R&B of Blackstreet's "No Diggity," you know the album is going to hop genres with abandon. Rather than crafting a finely contoured, ever-building DJ set, the British big-beat group goes for broke: the CD is an unrelenting rush from one energy peak to another. Amazingly, the Allstars actually manage to pull off this take-no-prisoners approach without dulling the senses. Boutique is a 73-minute olio of fever-pitched dance mania. --Fred Cisterna

A Few Hits; Mostly Misses,
By A Customer
This review is from: On The Floor At The Boutique (Audio CD)
If you like hip hop, old school rap, soul, funk, electronica, and everything in between, then you'll probably like this "On the Floor at the Boutique" remix compilation. I thought I would, but--wow--what a mistake. When I bought it (at a clearance sale--and now I see why), I kept punching around the tracks, looking for something to just blow me away. And you would think there'd be several hits with so many tracks (21 of them--though I wouldn't consider #21 a song; it's not even 1 minute long), but there's not. Don't get me wrong: there are some good mixes on here (like my favorites: "No Diggity" by Blackstreet featuring Dr. Dre, "Stand Clear" by Indian Ropeman, "(Hey You) What's That Sound?" by Les Rythmes Digitales, "Funk Phenomena" by Armand Van Helden--though I prefer the original version--and "Out of Space" by Prodigy). But a lot of the songs I didn't like anyway, so no amount of remixing could change my mind. Not to mention, as one reviewer did before me, several of the tracks were very racially charged (black against white), which is another reason why I wasn't won over by this CD. So, unless you're a diehard Lo Fidelity Allstars fans--or just really like hip hop/techno/etc. thrown together--I'd skip this one and just go with the other "On the Floor at the Boutique" CD by Fatboy Slim.

Big Beafy Beats,
By Sean McDonald - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On The Floor At The Boutique (Audio CD)
Of course this is not like a fat boy slim disk, but it is as good if not better than the initial Boutique disk. This is one of the most eclectic mixes that one can buy and the Lo-Fi's feel the need to stuff as many types of dance-beats into one record as possible. The first few tracks start off with a mainstream rap feel to them, yet the beats make it, not the lyrics. This great vibe continues for most of the first half (ending with the BANGING Black is Black by the Jungle Brothers), shfiting into BIG BEAT mode with Disko Doktor, and keeping a strong steady beat until the absolutely delicious "The Whole Church Should Get Drunk" which fades with a sweet 60's pop ditty (and the 60's feel of Prodigy's Out of Space).I still really enjoy this disk becasue it is not straight ahead anything... not rap, big beat nothing. It is a truly joyous disk that works for both upbeat dance or speaker thumping beat music. It reminds me of a slightly more dancable version of Prodigy's great "Dirtchamber sessions". Good smart fun. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Fresh, Hip, and WICKED FUN,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On The Floor At The Boutique (Audio CD)
Okay, I love BattleFlag. That was my bad mood song. I used to blast it loud enough to shake the walls of my room. This CD is the bomb. Lo Fi Stars are fresh, hip, and sound like Jamiroquai on heavy drugs. Awesome. I am a pure Trance addict, so this was a bit of exploration but it payed off. I love this CD. I'm not a great fan of the "Rage Against the MAchine" and the "Kill the Government" style lyrics, but this awesome stuff. But it is not techno. it is urban. very different stuff people. if you are looking for another ATB get the party going group, look at TranceNation or Gatecrasher. If you just want some good bass poundin' fun, buy this.

Not quite the same,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On The Floor At The Boutique (Audio CD)
This cd is very good indeed. The one thing is don't confuse it with How to Operate With A Blown Mind. Each cd is good but there isn't too much in common between the two.
