great music
Came in good timing and good condition for such a little price. great fun music, Definitly keeps your interest.


Yo check it out
This CD indicates a non-stop party must be going on in Fatboyslims magical mixing mind. Big beat brashness, funky disco and dopey sounds that test the capacity of your listening pleasure, even insane in the membrane people I suppose. "Mighty Dub Katz" is about as clever as it gets for a meshing of sound that is Cypress Hill meets the rude boyz. "Psychedeliasmith" is out there but fits nicely into the concrete jungle landscape, a heady blend of synths and loops. There are a few turkeys too. "Roll the Dice" does just that, I think it came up snake eyes. Sometimes repetition becomes just that, repetitive. On the flip side it works sometimes like on the standout "Deeds Plus Thoughts," nothing to think about here just enjoy the mad master mixer at work. There are plenty of non stop grooves but what fascinates is that one person can orchestrate and manipulate all the diverse and seemingly unrelated sounds into one coherent package. Not my favorite Fatboyslim CD but solid nonetheless. It is easy to see why he one of the most recognizeable mixers of all the gazillion out there. Recommended in small quanities unless you have a high tolerance for pain in the membrane.


Average, but 3 tracks here are great
Fatboy Slim gives us a lot of mixes that are pretty good but not anything special, and when there's this many, we see the limitations in his style. Most of this disc is mediocre. However, three songs are simply incredible and really must be heard: Wildchild's "Renegade Master", Christopher Just's "I'm A Disco Dancer", and Underworld's "King of Snake". They all follow the Fatboy formula, but it seems like he does a much better job. These three are moments worthy of his best original productions. So this may not be a necessary purchase, but there are some great parts to it.


Definately an "easy listen"
It has some upbeat songs, and some smooth, almost instrumental songs. As an avid Fatboy Slim fan, I can say that this CD isn't in the same style as his past couple CDs, but it's actually a little more laid back for an easy listen. All in all, it makes a good driving CD or casual listening CD. I'm glad I bought it.


If you like The Beastie Boys . . .
I couldn't listen to two tracks in a row without popping out the CD. OK, I am not a big Beastie Boys fan, and this album ("Greatest" Remixes) reminds me of their style - loud, brash, unmelodic, hardcore. I would've given this CD only one star, but I realize that it might be suitable for some people who liked that "Insane in the Membrane" sound I thought we got rid of a few years ago. As a note, I do have and enjoy "The Norman Cook/Fatboy Collection" and "Live from the Big Beat Boutique. " Both of those CDs have some variety. This one is just loud and brash all the way through.
