Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Biographers of Norman Cook should look no further than the title of this--his second album under the pseudonym Fatboy Slim. From humble beginnings as the bass player in prole rock band The Housemartins, through chart-topping fame with Beats International, and even a spell scraping a meagre living from writing computer game soundtracks in the early 90s, Norman Cook has done it all. You've Come A Long Way, Baby, though, is the Fatboy's culmination; the quintessential, and utterly essential big-beat album. "The Rockafeller Skank" is a manic collage of surf-guitar looped into ever-tightening spirals; utterly simplistic, but a work of devilish genius. "Gangster Tripping" and "Fucking In Heaven" are in a similar celebratory mood, but to prove that the Fatboy doesn't always work by a formula, try the purloined gospel of "Praise You", or the rave nostalgia of "Acid 8000". It's seldom poetry, but dumb dance music doesn't get much better. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars Right about NOW!, 15 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: You've Come A Long Way, Baby (Audio CD)
Sometimes it's hard to like an album so much once it has been mangled through the charts and media to an extent where you're absolutely sick of it. But credit where it's due, this harmless album of quirky big beat opened so many doors on both sides of the Atlantic...how often can you go out and not hear Praise you or the Rockafella skank?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good mix of beats and more subtle tracks, 17 Feb 2001
By 
This is a really good album by Fatboy Slim. There is an excellent mix of raw Big Beat tracks and softer, more relaxing ones. A lot of the tracks on this CD have been released as singles (and they have all deserved it), and therefore this album is a great way of listening to all of them. Fatboy Slim is one of the best Big Beat artists around, and this is one of his best albums.

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't float my boat., 14 Jan 2012
This review is from: You've Come A Long Way, Baby (Audio CD)
I remember seeing a music video with Christopher Walken in it and I thought it was impressive and the music pretty catchy so thought I would give it a try.

In all honesty it was a move away from my usual taste in music, but I listened to it with an open mind.

My biggest grumble with most of the songs were that they were good but they went on just too long, so I found myself listening for each song for about 3-4 minutes then getting bored and skipping to the next track. Also whilst not offended by foul language I felt the swearing on this album totally unnecessary and not fitting with the songs.

If you were into the dj scene of the nineties you'll love it, but for me it is a case of "will you finish the song?!".
