Dig This! Barney Hoskyns fillets his Fave Raves and Rabid Enthusiasms for December 2003

1 Basement Jaxx feat. Siouxsie Sioux: ‘Cish Cash’, from Kish Kash (XL Recordings)
The most consistently playful – no, make that joyful – duo in electronic dancepop return with their third and best long-player. Kish Kash’s title track – wilfully misspelt – features Gothpunk goddess Siouxsie as a kind of hip hop sibyl, inveighing fiercely against greed and power: "You want it, you take it..." Magnificent!
