A must for Fatboy Slim fans
I don't think there is a single track I don't like. What a great surprise this CD was. Even my hipster teenage daughter wanted to know who I was listening to.

This CD is in heavy rotation for me. .


not for people with narrow tastes and more narrow minds
I can see how some people can't handle everything going on here, from a tribute to original reggae dubmaster King Tubby, to funkmaster James Brown, to "roll the dice" a precursor to the acid beats of "better living thru chemistry", to obscure 60's French synth-rock of Jean Jacques Perry, to Steve Miller (!). I had to write something after I saw a couple bad reviews here from people who obviously identify Cook/Fatboy with a very narrow genre, but if you like this artist not for some genre he fits into, but for his endless creativity and the fun he jams into his funk, BUY THIS CD. . . Cook makes it all work and he makes it all his own.


Sorta-kinda Carribean Techno
" I was first exposed to this album in 2000 and I have come upon it time and time again in different situations. An album produced by Fatboy Slim, this is a nice addition to a collection that contains "You've Come A Long Way, Baby. Finally, I have purchased it. Many of the songs have kinda-sorta Carribean beats; there are also some seemingly familiar tunes, maybe from commercials, or perhaps past tunes that were remixed. Whatever the case, it is nice music with which to drive, especially. Take a listen to some of the tracks and see if you like the style, or not!.


Fat Boy Slim/Norman Cook Collection
It's good background music, or Saturday bopping-around-the-house-doing-some-housework music. This album is pretty groovy and funky, but not hugely exciting. Nice and happy, and sure to get you grooving, but it's before the time of Funk Soul Brother, so it's much more basic than his later stuff. Simple, smooth, fun, funky, but not Weapon of Choice.


Norman Cook is a pioneer! Buy this CD!
All I can say is God Bless Norman Cook. . this collection goes way back for me because I was a club dj when all these songs were coming out and I used to spin just about all of them on a regular basis. Todays dance music producers (and even many hip-hop producers) owe a lot to Norman Cook because he helped pave the way for todays scene! This CD Rocks!!! If you were clubing when back when these songs were coming out, you'll remember how refreshing they sounded compared to everything else that was going on!!! so to those who say "don't waste your money", I'd probably guess they have very limited music collections and we're bummed it wasn't "You've Come A Long Way Baby 2", and simply have a long way to come themselves when it comes to music.
