Classic Album Review: The Boomtang Boys | Greatest Hits Volume One

Welcome to the MuchMusic Dance Party From Hell.

This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Do you set your VCR to tape Electric Circus every week? Have you seen A Night At The Roxbury more than once? Was your favourite childhood band Stars On 45?

Then this cheekily titled debut album from Canadian remix masters The Boomtang Boys will be at the top of your chart. Like some MuchMusic Dance Party From Hell, Greatest Hits Volume One is a top-of-the-pops parade of annoyingly addictive covers (Dancing With Myself, Bang A Gong, Time After Time) and the Boys’ own tunes (like the electrified rubber-duckie romp Squeeze Toy). Like it or not, this disc will likely live up to its title.
