Album Notes & Community Reviews

Norman Cook launched his incredibly successful Fatboy Slim moniker with this crucial foundational text of the emerging big beat genre. He aggressively combined heavy, funky hip-hop drum loops with chaotic acid house synthesis and an eclectic array of vintage R&B vocal samples. It spearheaded a massive commercial wave of dance music designed to appeal to both club audiences and traditional rock listeners.
