Advantages: track "Take a trip to your mind" - it's AMAZING Disadvantages: I think they stole that track, all other songs are 20x times worse :/

Still, "TAKE A TRIP THROUGH YOUR MIND" is one of my favourite tracks, you can listen to it for like 5 times in a row and you feel like dreaming...If you're very rich or totaly crazy about music - buy the CD and listen to that track only, if not - you can find way better albums.
Freakpower eh, there's a blast from the past!
You don't remember them? I'm not surprised really. Think back to 1994, an advert on TV for jeans I think. The song in the advert - "Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out" was the first hit they had. It was a good song at the time, but 7 years later, after blowing the dust off my CD, it's not as good as it was.
Still it's not the worst CD in my collection. There are some songs on the album that are not to bad.
... ...not as good. Interesting lyrics, funky beats and a lead singer with a funky deep voice.
If you see this going cheap somewhere give it a go, you could do worse. Not much mind. ;) But it's worth a listen. "Waiting For The Story To End" is a good track. And they can't be all bad because the single for "Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out" had a remix version of said song featuring a sample of Jim Morrison. Nice. Oh and they had a monkey in one of their videos! ...

later composed by Cook as Fatboy Slim due to the vocal samples and various breaks throughout the track.
However Beats International were very short lived and after the release of their second album Excursion on the Version they fizzled out, leaving Cook to form his next group which was called Freakpower and featured horn player Ashley Slater, who appears on Fatboy Slims album Halfway Between the Gutter And The Stars on the track Retox.
Freakpower released their debut album DriveThruBooty in 1994 and had success with the track Turn on Tune In Cop Out which featured on the album, although for some reason there is no Freakpower work featured on The Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim Collection.
But fear not as The Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim Collection does feature 3 remixes by Norman Cook before he became Fatboy Slim. The first to appear is ...
