Got introduced to justice when i got introduced to the song Street Justice by MSTRKRFT. At first, i listened to their cd at hmv but i thought it sounded childish & amateurish. I forgot about it until I listened to boys noize. I thought BN was a more professional in production & sound. After seeing BN in concert w/ mstrkrft where mstrkrft was very girly-man house sounding, BN just powered through the crowd where 90% couldn't dance to bec they onlyknow girly-man house music. I had a blast. I think boys noize is phenomenal & it brought me to liking justice style of music. justice, esp on their remixes, like to use distortion guitar/funk-based bass playing. Interestingly, when I listen to Chemical Bros' s songs, "in dust we trust" & "dig your own hole", i feel that I can hear justice. In addition, Chem bros' "these beats are made for breakin" & Daft Punk's "harder, faster breaker beat remix" are being recycled by Justice, boys noize, sebastiAn,surkin. It's interesting that Chem bros has lost its way & Justice is continuing their pioneering sound from their first 2 albums.Prodigy's always outnumbered but never outgunned album is also being recycled by buzz-synth DJs which was ahead of its time. When I first heard Justice cd, stress was my favorite track. I didn't like "dance" at all & i think mstrkrft's version is the best. Boys Noize remix of phantom totally rocks as well.I got the album on vinyl & i think it sounds more "alive" than on CD. Songs like NewJack, let there be light, Stress & waters of nazareth totally rocks. I esp like the guy exhaling on "waters of nazareth". When I saw their live clips, I see them trying to recreate 80s metal stage sets.
