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

Fatboy Slim looks like a normal bloke, but really he's a freak of nature. He has this mad scientist mentality that creates these classic dance tracks. In my opinion the guy was mr 1998 and 1999. I still think the guy has potential even though big beat has feel through. Shame he released that Slash Dot Dash as his first single from his last album.

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

if you've not heard this album yet or have heard it and have yet to acquire it for yourself, this imported version beats it's uk twin hands down. guaranteed you'll listen to this and think "oh...it was fatboy who did that track"!! the bonus tracks such as "michael jackson" and "everybody needs a carnival" are hard to find and give you that little 'my mate doesn't have this and probably never will' edge! for an extra few tracks it's a bargain! definately a classic

This truly is one of those albums you pick up and will continue listening to for years. It is beautifully enginnered with classics like PRAISE YOU and Gangster trippin coupled with some of the best b sides ever on an album which will hold its head high in the music industry for many years it has a song for every mood and occassion. Without doubt the best album he has ever produced well done Norman
