Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A quick listen to Midfield General's On The Floor at the Boutique quickly proves that he's a fan of his golden oldies, but that's no excuse for including "Devil In Sports Casual"--a tune that the General was spinning way back before the Fatboy came a long way, baby, and rocketed Skint into the world of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Still, the General--aka Damian Harris, Skint's founder, head A&R man, and all-round head honcho--calls the shots here, and if he wants to keep the halcyon days of the Big Beat Boutique in mind as he unveils his long-awaited debut album, Generalisation, then he's more than earned that right. It's an eclectic bag; Harris's delectation for rare grooves means that the pleasant, mellow soul homage of "Reach Out" reclines next to the cut-up old-skool acid of "You Take", but best of the bunch has to be the super-tweaked tech-house rumble of "General of the Midfield". Sure, Generalisation doesn't take as many risks as say, Lo Fidelity Allstars' How To Operate with a Blown Mind. But the General knows it'll still sound great in six months time, so don't knock it. Right?--Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Spankingly good tunes!, 30 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is a mint album. It wont only make you tap your toes and nod your head, but will also put a rye grin on your face as well. General of the midfield is a track which realy stands out, it's bizare to say the least. Your taken on a journey with a mass of small animals going into battle with the limelight hogging lions and tiger, in an attempt to steal some of the limelight for themselves. Bizare and brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Big Beat Tunes !, 9 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is a great CD which only improves with listening as you notice more subtleties in each tune. Top Tune-age indeed and thoroughly recommended to any FatBoy Slim/Wise Guys fans etc...

4.0 out of 5 stars Remember the Electro compilations? You'll love this!, 9 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Had me rummaging about for my Roxanne Shante and Al Nayfish records. Belting!

Reminds me a bit of 'Glee' by Bran Van 3000 in that this is a bloke who's obviously well into his music, knows his stuff, and doesn't give a monkeys about how much he experiments. Most of it works (Coatnoise, Reach Out) but some of it (Ricky 39) doesn't.

And of course both albums have high-value rib-tickling track titles: "Glee" has its "Gimme Sheldon" and "Generalisation" has "Devil in Sports Casual".
