Music reviews of You've Come a Long Way, Baby
Music Review: Everywhere Everywhere...is Fatboy Slim
Rating: 3 Stars
The breakthrough album and zeneth of Fatboy Slim's Career. Tracks that integrated within all that was pop culture during the late 90's. From Adidas advertisements to the opening credits of clubber's cult classic, Human Traffic. Fatboy Slim was it...for a short but sweet time that rounded off the 20th century. He blew the sand off of Brighton Beach, and turned down Madonna when she asked him to collaborate on an album with her. Nice.
Some tracks are annoying, but I still have three or four tracks that I listen to fairly regularly. If for some bizarre reason, you don't have this album already, it is a worthy addition if you can find it cheap. I have the import as the US had to co-release an edited version (Clean...as Amazon likes to put it) before we were permitted to be exposed to Fatboy's dirty mouth. You would not be missing anything special by picking up the 11 track US release. Whether you want your version to be "clean" or not is up to you.
3/5 stars.
Description of You've Come a Long Way, Baby
Japanese edition of the 1998 & second album by Norman Cooke (a.k.a. Fatboy Slim) featuring 'The World Went Down' added as a bonus track, completely different artwork than the U.S.release & the hit singles 'The Rockafeller Skank' & 'Gangster Tripping'. 12 tracks total. A Skint Records release. The full title is 'You've Come A Long Way, Baby'.Norman Cook's bubble-gum techno songs--put out under a variety of guises over the years, including Pizzaman and Freak Power--are essential staples on any international dance floor. Fatboy Slim, however, is the former Housemartin's most successful incarnation, launching a Top 40 crossover hit and popular advertising jingle with last year's "Going out of My Head." You've Come a Long Way, Baby picks up where the smash single left off, cheekily pairing acidic synthesizers and drum machines with big, dumb vocal samples. It takes considerable effort sitting through an entire album of these energized tunes, but taken in small doses, songs like "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Soul Surfing" are like rays of sunshine. --Aidin Vaziri
