On the Ropes is the debut from Mint Royale, the Manchester electronic duo of Neil Claxton and Chris Baker, first released in 1999 on the Faith & Hope label. The version that reached America came out through MCA in June 2001 and was a different animal: a new cover built around a close-up of a pinball machine, both takes of "Shake Me" gone, and three fresh songs in their place.
One of those was "Show Me", which later turned up again on the duo's next album, Dancehall Places, in 2002. It's cut-and-paste dance music built for the floor, and no wonder Fatboy Slim was dropping their tracks into his DJ sets.
