Whatever dictionary Holland's Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL) uses, there are clearly a few words missing, including subtlety. His second album, picks up the post-Chemical Brothers breakbeat thrash sound of his
Saturday Teenage Kicks debut and is another incessant slab of heavy metal dance floor action that's low on craft but very big on high-octane cartoon thrills. Dropping the cheesy samples favoured by his British big beat brethren, Holkenborg instead goes for lost seventies power chords, Wagnerian strings and brain-pummelling breaks. All very Prodigy, all very sub-Moby. And yet there's such an epic pop energy and pretension-free adrenaline-soaked mania to "Zerotonine", "Power Of Big Stacks" and "Legion" that make it hard to resist a fleeting grin and grind. When he turns his twiddles to tranced-out house on "Gettin' Lost" and "Bon Voyage", you can see why Sasha and Carl Cox have been getting their dance floor kicks from this deranged Dutchman. Not clever, but very big.--
