This album released in 1998 still sounds pretty good.......and come on......that's not bad going for an artist whose music is on leading edge of pop-dance. But you have to admit it, fatboy has more competition nowadays not least from the brilliant Moby album.

Whilst I loved the Fatboy album when it first came out I've got to say that quite a few of the songs seem old-hat now (eg, F**king in heaven, Kalifornia, soul surfing, you're not from Brighton)

But, the quality of "Right Here, Right Now" (although One Phat Deva is a better version!), "The Rockafeller Skank", & "Praise You" still shine through.

Still an album worth listening to if you like your beats rough and in an old skool electro kinda way!

6.5/10
