Decksandrumsandrockandroll is the only studio album by the British band Propellerheads, released on 26 January 1998 by Wall of Sound (UK) and DreamWorks (U.S.). The original release of Decksandrumsandrockandroll features 13 tracks, produced by Will White and Alex Gifford. Most are instrumental, sometimes with vocal samples. The exception is "History Repeating", which features vocals from veteran singer Shirley Bassey. "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is a collaboration with composer David Arnold and his orchestra. It is a remix of John Barry's theme from the James Bond film of the same name which also features a cue from his score for You Only Live Twice.

Really, the title says it all – Decksanddrumsandrockandroll is about as close to rock & roll as big-beat techno is going to get. Taking their cue from the Chemical Brothers, the Bath-based duo Propellerheads offer a set of pummeling, ultra-loud beats that may dabble in funk, house, hip-hop, soul, and rap, but which all come out sounding as aggressive as rock. Not that there's anything wrong with that – at its best, big beat is as invigorating as any other music – but Propellerheads don't have the finesse, innovation, or style of the Chemical Brothers, the leading proponents of big beat. When they shake the beat up, whether on the wah-wah-drenched "Velvet Pants" or the pair of John Barry/James Bond tributes (a reworking of their cover of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and "History Repeating"), it sounds like a tactical move, since they know they can't spend the entire album on thundering dance cuts like "Bang On!" and "Take California." That said, Decksanddrumsandrockandroll remains a strong big beat album, even if it ultimately doesn't reveal anything new, because the duo knows how to craft a hard-hitting, infectious rhythm track. And while that doesn't make them the next Chemical Brothers, it does make them the best in this style since the Chemicals.
