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


CD Description

Norman Cook, aka Fat Boy Slim, shows off his big beat-dancestyle once again with the release of YOU'VE COME A LONG WAYBABY. Packed with pure energy, smart breaks and edgy samples, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY is a strong follow up to 1997's BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY. The first single, "The Rockafeller Skank" cleverly uses a Lord Finesse vocal sample that dominates the massive-sounding track. In addition, the twangy surf guitars provide a texture not often heard in bigbeat.
"Gangster Tripping", the second single, is a funky, mind-bending head-nodder that uses smashing drums, horn shots, reggae breaks and filtering techniques. Other tracks tomake you move are "Build it Up", the adrenaline wig-out "Acid 8000" and "Praise You", with its catchy, '70s-like piano hook. The title of this album speaks volumes about the stateof Fat Boy Slim's work. Catch up or you'll get stomped by the big beat explosion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good mix of beats and more subtle tracks, 17 Feb 2001
By mcbryan@skynet.be (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Right about NOW!, 15 Nov 1999
By A Customer
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?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fatboy slim was made in heaven, 7 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Top album just dont listen to it to often coz like all good albums you play it to death and end up hating it. Picture the scene nice hot sunny day, driving along in your car the stereo pumping out "Right about now the funk soul brother".............Nuff said.............Respect.......We praise you like we should
