Groove Armada — Greatest Hits

Not to be confused with the forthcoming two-disc hits compilation, GA10: 10 Year Story, or Soundboy Rock, their seventh album just released in May, Greatest Hits is re-hash of Groove Armada's label-departing Best Of album with some newer singles literally slapped on top and no new material. Recent U.K. hits "Song 4 Mutya" and "Get Down" are the first two tracks on the album, which makes this collection feel quickly thrown together. These songs were hits about four months ago, guys! Could you at least throw them further into the mix? Song order and presentation aside, this best of is a lot of fun. Over 14 songs, it's a reminder of how many great singles and influence over the electronic genre this duo has had. From their beginnings as big and down beat trendsters, to the rock infusions of the Lovebox tracks, Groove Armada, though they've mostly been forgotten by North America after "I See You Baby" faded away, have been consistently innovative and danceable. Here's to another 10 years and no more hits compilations.
