5.0 out of 5 stars
Book LA, February 11, 2002
By A Customer
In the increasingly popular format of the remix album, "Elephant House" deserves a space on the CD
shelve next to its' other proven peers Thievery Corporation, Kruder and Dorfmeister, and Jazzanova. As
one of the currently most sought after remixing team, Groove Corporation, a trio out of Birmingham, flex
their shred-cut-reconstruct muscle over classic tracks by Bob Marley, Dillinger, UB40, Luciano, Rae and
Christian, Bobby Womack and Ennio Morricone to name only half the roster of talent on this cd.
Shamelessly mixing soul, funk, roots into unavoidable bass powered dance grooves where the beats dig
deep but never overwhelm, the versatility of the original tracks creates great variety, and the remixes never
feel like a "one size fits all" recipe. To the contrary, each piece finds itself re-vamped into a seemingly new timeless classic.

YUMMY!, August 3, 2007
Kickin' bass and a crystal clear recording makes this new dub remix of classic reggae tunes sound like it was made today. The 3rd cut with Dillinger never sounded better. There's even Ella Fitzgerald singing the Cream's Sunshine Of Your Love with a brand new dub twist that makes it sound like it's a refreshing hit of today. It's a way better version than it ever was compared to the out of place Ella trying to be hip singing this classic rock Cream song. Even Luciano's song never sounded that good until now. A very inventive and interesting collection, this is one of the best dub/chill combinations I've ever heard!
