The Best of Groove Armada charts the success of one of the UK's most popular dance acts. Featuring the biggest hits from their last three albums, this anthology of their time on the Jive label is packed with downbeat and upbeat anthems, and an array of music as heard in film, television and radio.

The subdued intro and trombone melody of "Superstylin" opens the collection softly with the now legendary bassline kicking in for a perfect euphoric moment. Other upbeat anthems include the piano house of "If Everybody Looked the Same," the Fatboy Slim mix of Gramma Funk's "I See You Baby" (both of which have been used to sell cars) and the more recent disco hit, "Easy." However, although Tom Findlay and Andy Kato pack dance floors every weekend, it's their downbeat soul that receives most attention, partly due to the "chillout" explosion of 2000 that made "At the River" a classic of the genre. With their last album Lovebox, GA showed a more versatile, band-influenced side with songs like the Status Quo sampling "Purple Haze," the rocky "Madder," and fun-loving ska of "But I Feel Good".

The Best of Groove Armada is a great selection of songs showing the diversity and musical progression of the band, a perfect introduction for the un-initiated and a good collection for those already converted. --Georgina Collins

Customer Reviews

Straight up fun!
This is a fabulous party album. I discovered Groove Armada with Love Box and fell in love with them even harder after hearing this compilation. I never tire of hearing Madder and Easy, and who wouldn't want to be dancing with "I See You Baby" pumping in the back ground!?!

Hooked by Groove Armada
Just happened to be watching a TV show featuring The Who, this "set-up" band played first. I was instantly hooked by the beat and mix of instrument sounds of "Easy", then really snagged by "Superstlylin'". Just based on hearing these 2 cuts, prompted me to buy this album "in the dark". And Groove Armada did NOT disappoint - I loved nearly every track on the CD. New, exciting, sophisticated - it's hard to believe that all the arrangements are performed by the sane group.

Great Stuff
I must admit that I never heard anything so diverse and wish I could start a band or a project as good as that ! The song "At The River" is just fantastic. Their stength is to take you through different emotions with totally different styles on each track. Not to forget the classic "Easy", "Superstylin" ... Actually they're all classics ! That's why it's a great CD. Unfortunately I think it's too early to release a best of when you haven't ended your career. Anyway. What I love the most about them is that they are a total mystery to me. How many members in the band ?
