After producing so many excellent tracks, it seems amazing to me that Fatboy Slim can do it again - come up with yet another truly fresh, amazing type of music.
Granted, you will be able hear that it?s Fatboy Slim, by the characteristic use of samples, fat bass-lines, sweeping analog synths and heavy, kicking beats that he has exemplified in his previous albums. But I think his new album takes all of this to a higher level. Rather than the busy, upbeat sound of ?You?ve come a long way, baby?, it is a far cleaner and chilled-out sound. That?s not to say that it?s all slow, ambient tracks - there are several tracks, noticeably Yamama, that you could easily imagine whipping a club into a frenzy.
Only one word of warning - don?t attempt to listen to this on some little micro-system - this isn?t the treble-frenzy that his last album was; Fatboy has returned to the bass! My 8" floorstanders vibrate the ceiling just nicely...
In summary; there are tracks here that would send the caffeine-injected insomniac to sleep, and others that would get even the most reserved nuns strutting their stuff... Buy it now!!!
