... The music on the album, You've come along way baby, as mostly acid house as this is the music norman specialises in. Which is an odd mix between Funky house music and acid jazz. Funky house music is more popular in the clubs and acid jazz can often be refered to as a form of "rave" music ... Read review

Fatboy Slim: The legend begins.
This album was the launcher of Normal cook's, known as the artist fatboy slim, huge music career and Dj'ing popularity buzz. The album was launched in 1998 after the huge sucess of his first hit single, Right here, Right now...

The music on the album, You've come along way baby, as mostly acid house as this is the music norman specialises in. Which is an odd mix between Funky house music and acid jazz. Funky house music is more popular in the clubs and acid jazz can often be refered to as a form of "rave" music dipped in acid to get an edge that "rocks" as a fellow clubber once said. But then he also said that "if you drink vodka shots through your nose you dont get drunk" 1) whats the point in drinking them if you dont get drunk 2) what???? lol. Anyway...

The tracks on the album are as follows, in the order that they are on, on the CD;

1. Right Here, Right Now -Released on single earlier in the year that the album was released. A pure classic, that made him what he is today.
2. Rockafeller Skank -Released just after the album, which didnt even effect the sales, yet another hit from norman.
3. F%!*King In Heaven -Brilliant Dance song, im sure the young'uns love it becuase of the lycis but what can you expect.
4. Gangster Tripping -Also Released on single and sold as many copies as right here right now, as his career was well established by this time and songs where all loved.
5. Build It up, Tear It Down -Brilliant use of female focals in a very interesting mannor.
6. Kalifornia -Listen to the words on this track it has a heart warming message if you think about it.
7. Soul Surfing -Surfing on the cash because of this one more like, really popular with the more mellow music lovers.
8. You're Not from Brighton no im not.
9. Praise You -His best song ever, sold more copies than any other, really kicked up a story, loved by virtually every one who likes almost any time of music excluding metal lovers.(not there scene)
10. Love Island
11. Acid 8000 -This track really was the best song to end the album with, made you want to listen to the whole think it made full use of acid house!

This album maybe getting old now as he is on his third album, but i say if your only just discovering the world of normal cook, fatboy slim, then you have to get this album as it has all the classics on and it is still equally as good as any of his other albums and still i am not bored of it, which i should be by now, what with my past record. :)

Remeber fatboy slim might be F**king in heaven but thanks to him we are Listening in heaven ;)

Consistently stunning
Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim by Ryan-Simpson

Advantages: Solid consistant album
Disadvantages: none

Norman’s Cook’s second album under the ‘Fat Boy Slim’ moniker was released with much commercial expectation, as the debut FBS album only gave one minor hit in ‘Everyone Needs a 303’ but after first single ‘Rockafella Skank’ hit the top five, people started to take notice. Unlike many of his contemporaries in dance / big beat Norman actually realises the importance of a memorable, catchy chorus and this ...
...The album as a whole, though, works very well with each track working its way into the next seamlessly and with an overall dynamic added to the album as a whole, rather coming across as merely a collection of assorted tracks, another fault obvious in many other DJ’s albums. A very inventive use of old and new samples works brilliantly, and encourages you to find out the originals to see just how much Norman has changed them. A great collection, ... Read review

Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim by JohnnyBravo

Advantages: the fat boy
Disadvantages: couple of dodgy tracks

Norman Cook has gone back to his housemartin days with this album, he must have missed chart success of his own after remixing so many other bands in recent years. 11 tracks of sheer dance/pop..its on the cutting edge of nothing...but ultimately listenable. Some great tracks, but you'd know all about the "Praise you"'s and the "Rockerfella Skank"'s already.....do look out for track 7 and track 5 for something with a bit of bass. If you like Rockerfella ... Read review

Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim by yagasat

Advantages: Will have you jumping around
Disadvantages: Not very long

Chances are you’ve heard most of the songs on this album, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a home in your collection. The album is not particularly (61min59) and has only 11 tracks, but does have the well known tracks ‘Right Here, Right Now’ (from the Addidas advert), ‘The Rockafella’s Skank’, ‘Gangsta Trippin’ and ‘Praise You’. Chances are, if you like this tracks, then you’d like the rest (even if there are only a few more). This is definitely ... Read review

Phatboy Slim
Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim by jailbreakted

Advantages: 80% of the Songs are Great
Disadvantages: None

A lot of the more snooty folks in the techno/dance/electronic scene have taken to dismissing Fatboy Slim, because he's hit modern rock radio, movie soundtracks, MTV, and Billboard charts. Apparently they've decided to ignore this album in favor of more "intelligent", more underground artists. Well, it's their loss. "The Rockafeller Skank" was the one of the singles of 1998, hands down. It's easily a classic of the big-beat genre. "Praise You" really ...
...almost tracelike, "Gangster Trippin" is a great party track, and "You're Not From Brighton" is amazingly groovy hip-hop without the rapping. Even lesser songs like "Kalifornia" or "Build It Up - Tear It Down" are fun. So yes, this may be the more pop-oriented side of techno. But let's not dismiss it because of that. It's risen to the top of the sales chart because it's fun, well crafted music, and it deserves all the respect underground acts get. ... Read review

Fatboy Slim has come a long way
Review of You've Come A Long Way Baby [PA] - Fatboy Slim by dsra999

Advantages: every track sounds good
Disadvantages: not applicable

You've Come A Long Way Baby is a tremendous album and at the time of it's release it was a fresh new sound which everybody fell in love with. The album has a respectable 11 tracks all of which sound great and are hits within their own rite and from listening to these tracks you can also tell that cook has delved deep into his record collection and put many fantastic samples to use. The album kick starts with the great Right Here, Right Now this ...
...album Better Living Through Chemistry and sets the mark for the rest of the album which is instantly maintained with the next track The Rockafeller Skank. The Rockafeller Skank is another fantastic track and has a cool guitar groove with some nice beats and breaks i don't need to say much else everybody knows this track. There is then more of the same throughout the album which really is of a high standard, in particular with tracks such as Gangster ... Read review

Additional notes

Album Notes: YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Performance. "Praise You" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Norman Cook, aka Fat Boy Slim, shows off his big beat-dance style once again with the release of YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY. Packed with pure energy, smart breaks and edgy samples, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY is a strong follow up to 1997's BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY. The first single, "The Rockafeller Skank" cleverly uses a Lord Finesse vocal sample that dominates the massive-sounding track. In addition, the twangy surf guitars provide a texture not often heard in big beat.
"Gangster Tripping," the second single, is a funky, mind-bending head-nodder that uses smashing drums, horn shots, reggae breaks and filtering techniques. Other tracks to make you move are "Build it Up," the adrenaline wig-out "Acid 8000" and "Praise You," with its catchy, '70s-like piano hook. The title of this album speaks volumes about the state of Fat Boy Slim's work. Catch up or you'll get stomped by the big beat explosion.

Album Reviews: Spin (9/99, p.154) - Ranked #68 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."
Q (12/99, p.100) - Included in Q Magazine's "90 Best Albums Of The 1990s."
Alternative Press (5/00, p.120) - Included in AP's "10 Essential Dance Albums That Rock" - "...Norman Cook's Big Beat masterpiece is dancefloor crossover material at its finest."
Q (6/00, p.62) - Ranked #81 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums"
Rolling Stone (11/12/98, p.114-115) - "...Cook proves what all pop pros know: that obvious is harder than subtle....Cooks makes the hooks as blatant as a dance-world denizen can..."
Spin (1/99, p.91) - Ranked #18 on Spin's list of "Top 20 Albums of '98."
Spin (12/98, pp.175-176) - 8 (out of 10) - "...the thrill-intensive Fatboy Slim approach favors monstrous, often incongruous breaks, bass lines, and riffs, aggressively diced and looped in service of wacky, cut-and-paste juxtapositions....few dance producers working today are as keenly attuned to the pleasure principle as Norman Cook..."
Q (12/98, p.116) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...big beat's boy wonder is aiming to make the honeymoon last as long and remains as much fun as possible....bolshy, stomping, squelching stuff that you either shuffle your feet to, wave your arms in the air with or simply pogo up and down on the spot to..."
CMJ (1/11/99, pp.4-5) - "...a lager-soaked romp through big beats, gritty grooves and silly samples..."
Entertainment Weekly (10/23/98, p.78) - "...Other than the way it deftly blends obscure records, there's nothing subtle about Fatboy Slim. BABY is clever, hectic, relentless--and very of its time. It's music desperate to be noticed above the din of TV, movies, the Net, and the zillions of other records out there..." - Rating: B+
Vibe (12/98, 1/99, p.195) - "...Taken together, the songs sum up that Fatboy appeal: a match of brawny rhythms and clever samples that recall milestones like De La Soul's 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING....He's the kind of selector who gets off on ill juxtaposition as much as on grooves..."
Mixmag (1/99, p.49) - Included in Mixmag's "Ten Best Albums of 98" - "...Fatboy turns his 303s up to 11 with a second album that rocks from start to finish."
