No need to worry about
Apollo 440
turning intelligent in the wake of electronica's growing experimental leanings. Their third album overall,
Getting High on Your Own Supply
is a ride through sampladelic breakbeat that's just as mad as 1997's
Electro Glide in Blue
. Seemingly oblivious that even their youngest listeners could spot their samples,
pillage
Led Zeppelin
and
Status Quo
(among others), blending styles from trance, ska, hip-hop, dub, and disco with a tossed-off feel that's quite charming. From the breakout single
"Stop the Rock"
to the unabashed, old-school silliness of
"Cold Rock the Mic"
and a remix of last year's
"Lost in Space"
theme which fuses black metal with jungle breakbeats,
is another dumb but infectious party album to file alongside
Fatboy Slim
's
You've Come a Long Way, Baby
