Full review
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 is more than evident on over half the tracks present. 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, and definitely recommended to all fans of big beat, whether a fan or dabbler.
