...classic "You Spin Me Round" and New Wave classics from Information Society ("What's On Your Mind") and New Order ("True Faith") are great the first couple of times around. So is M/A/R/R/S' classic "Pump Up The Volume." Hip-hop makes an appearance in the form of a remix of Eric B. and Rakim's 1987 "Paid In Full." The album tries too hard, however, to capture the basic starkness of the film: the dark remixes of David Bowie and the Cure are wholly unpleasant, as is the new sliver of a song from Daniel Ash called "Trouble...
Primal Scream have always been a band preternaturally dependent upon their producer; their finest moment until now, 1991's _Screamadelica_ was as much Andrew Weatherall's achievement as their own. _Echo Dek_, Adrian Sherwood's remix album of _Vanishing Point_ was arguably better than the original. _Exterminator_, too, shines because of those assisting the band. Among those producing _Exterminator_ are, variously, the Chemical Brothers, David Holmes and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine. It's a diverse mix, though it flows surprisingly well. Highlights include David Holmes' _film noir_-style instrumental ("Blood Money"), and the catchy Jagz Kooner...
...apparently arrived late; fortunately, the warm-up DJ did a good job of entertaining the crowd, and the reception when the Armada took to the Karma stage was indulgent.

True to the anything-with-a-beat-goes spirit of the night, Cato and Findlay goofed around on the live bass guitar...
...Phat Tuesday’s in Cancun was great until the DJ put on a remix of “Back that Ass Up.” The pumping rhythm induced a 350-pound woman to strip off her skirt and, in fact, back that ass up...directly into my face...
...some of its artists besides Fatboy and the Lo-Fi Allstars. While all of the music is excellent in its own right, those looking for another "Praise You" or "Rockafeller Skank" are advised to look elsewhere. Fatboy Slim himself does contribute a signature track and a Midfield General remix, but overall this is a more sparse, laid back sound. If big beat is your thing, though, Brassic Beats USA is definitely worth checking out. Of special note are Indian Ropeman's funky, sitar-infused "66 Meters" and Cut La Roc's airy, skillfully-mixed "Fallen." A- --Taylor R. Terry...
