Additional notes
Album Notes: This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Fatboy Slim. This live document of Fatboy Slim's homecoming to his adopted town of Brighton, England, is designed to be played at maximum volume in the company of as many sweaty friends and total strangers as you can safely gather in your chosen venue. Whether it's your living room, local bar or remote field somewhere, a Fatboy Slim album is a practical guarantee of good times and impeccable dance mixes, and LIVE ON BRIGHTON BEACH doesn't disappoint. From the heraldic opening of Underworld's "Born Slippy" which segues into Slim's own "Right Here Right Now," the beat almost never lets up (save for a latter-day Woodstock-type announcement sample). It's fascinating to hear Slim bringing the crowd to the brink again and again while never letting them escape his sonic clutches. Highlights include the frantic "Put Your Hands Up in the Air," and the ethereal introduction to "Star 69," (featuring a witty and highly appropriate Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" sample) which will almost transport you to the British south coast seaside town and the company of a few thousand happy ravers.
Album Reviews: Alternative Press (7/02, p.81) - 8 out of 10 - "...A potent reminder of why Fatboy Slim commands five figures per gig: The man knows how to throw a party..."
