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 develops a lot with age, "Right Here Right Now" is 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. Cooler-than-thou kids, swallow your pride and enjoy it. You know you like it.
