Groove Armada

CDS: At the River

Track Listing: At the River - Radio Edit (3.13) At the River - English Riviera Mix (6.13) At the River - Presence Mix (5.45) At the River - English Riviera Edit (3.50)

Released 8/99 on Pepper Records. Head straight for the sublime English Riviera Mix on what I consider to be the best downbeat single of the year. Lazy conga rhythms wash around a gentle jazz melody and soothing vocals. The perfect late night comedown track.

Track Listing: Chicago Whatever Whenever Dusk You and Me Pre 63 If Everybody Looked the Same Serve Chilled I See You Baby Private Interlude At the River In My Bones Your Song Coast to Coast

Released 5/99 on Pepper Records.

Track Listing: Superstylin' - Groove Armada's 7" Edit Superstylin' - Groove Armada's Diskotek Mix Tuning in - Dub Mix

Released 8/01 on Pepper Records.

Track Listing: Suntoucher Superstylin' Drifted Little By Little Fogma My Friend Lazy Moon Raisin' The Stakes Healing Edge Hill The Incredible Bongo Man Join Hands

Released 9/01 on Pepper Records. Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) is a slightly disappointing album that is somewhat over shadowed by 'Virtigo', although it does has its moments, including the fabulous 'Superstylin'.

Track Listing: Purple Haze Groove is On Remember Madder Think Twice Final Shakedown Be Careful What You Say Hands of Time Tuning In (Rewritten) Easy Lovebox But I Feel Good

Released 11/02 on Pepper Records. From my perspective, 'Lovebox' is Groove Armada's best album to date. Whilst maintaining their usual roller coaster approach of mixing upbeat with down-tempo and commercial with the underground, this album offers far more than its predecessors. Particular highlights include 'Groove is On’ and 'But I Feel Good'.
