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

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...

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".

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!
