f you had to explain dance music to someone from another planet, you could simply play On the Floor at the Boutique for the curious creature. Besides being a great party album, this Lo Fidelity Allstars DJ remix disc is like a crash course in late-20th-century grooves. Hip-hop, techno, R&B, house, big beat, go-go, and more are all part of this expansive set. Even a couple of late-'60s soul tracks wind up on the CD. When the band's eerie, atmospheric intro, "You're Never Alone with a Clone," segues into the infectious '90s R&B of Blackstreet's "No Diggity," you know the album is going to hop genres with abandon. Rather than crafting a finely contoured, ever-building DJ set, the British big-beat group goes for broke: the CD is an unrelenting rush from one energy peak to another. Amazingly, the Allstars actually manage to pull off this take-no-prisoners approach without dulling the senses. Boutique is a 73-minute olio of fever-pitched dance mania. --Fred Cisterna
