Editoral Review After the crossover big beat of records like You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Halfway sounded more subtle, but its pseudomystical swoop and relative musical daring gave it an elastic energy ripe for remixing. With one new track among five remixes, Camber Sands is one of three late 2002 EPs from Fatboy Slim (The Pimp and Illuminati are the others) based on material from his 2000 record, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars. "Santo's Napalm Reprise" of "Drop the Hate" is a prime example, as the song's flower-power ethic is swallowed up in a firestorm of acid house and thumping beats. The Chemical Brothers, Stanton Warriors, and Dave Clarke are also on hand to drop an impressive set of remixes, and an instrumental version of "Weapon of Choice" gives Christopher Walken some new material to work with. The EP's only disappointment is the new title track, which feels unfinished and suffers by comparison once the remixes start to flow. --Matthew Cooke ..
