Now, I know it's been awhile since Scars, the 5th studio album by Basement Jaxx, came out, but it's been piled onto my listening list along with of other albums by some favorite electronic artists for a reason. I listened to "Raindrops" and heard clips from the other songs like "Saga" and didn't think it was anything too different. Lesson learned: as always, don't go by iTunes clips.
But at least I've finally listened to "Scars", the track of the same name as the album featuring Kelis, Meleka, and Chipmunk. For me, it is a perfect track, absolutely flawless. One that I've been looking for for a long time. It's the kind of thing that I always hoped Basement Jaxx would produce and I knew they could from tracks like "Don't Give Up". The chorus sample is out of this world. It will make you feel like you're flying over a rolling extraterrestrial landscape. Long live Basement Jaxx.
For this one, I suggest listening without the animation..
