Groove Armada's "Purple Haze" landed on Lovebox, the English electronic duo's fourth studio album, in 2002, and it's a gloriously mongrel piece of work. It borrows elements from "April, Spring, Summers and Wednesdays", a song by Status Quo, then hands the lead vocals to Nappy Roots and Red Rat, and somehow the pieces lock together.
The duo produced and mixed it themselves, Andrew Derek Cocup plays bass guitar, and the songwriting credit stretches to eight names, Francis Rossi among them. Out as a single, it peaked at number 36 in Britain and 38 in Italy, a modest haul for something this cheerfully overstuffed.
