THE REVIEW
Fatboy Slim has always presented himself to the masses as an eclectic, versatile producer, and above all, driven by a breath of fresh air. His compositions reflect his ability to blend and manipulate sounds, effects, and even completely different genres, resulting in immediately capturing the listener's attention. Fatboy Slim shuns any type of label since it would be a futile effort to categorize and enclose his vast musical production, including remixes and features, under one style. You've Come a Long Way Baby stands as the masterpiece of the English musician, perhaps more than any other album representative of the kind of artist he is.
Excellent opening track, Right Here, Right Now, a popular hit driven by sounds and loops with a distinctly suggestive and captivating character; of the same caliber is The Rockafeller Skank, a clear example of a big beat track as a skillful blend of styles and effects; also worthy of attention are tracks such as Praise You, defined by a formidable piano riff that gives it a very melodic profile, and the fresh Gangster Tripping, a combination of rap influences and typically funk inspirations. It is thanks to this musical variety that Fatboy Slim has been able to fully establish himself in the hall of fame of big beat legends.

"The Rockafeller Skank has been heard at least once by each of us; some might not know the title, but they surely have heard it."
"You've Come A Long Way Baby is perhaps the best rabbit that the friendly deejay has ever pulled out of his hat."

The atmosphere of "Right here right now", a track you will have certainly heard, of unparalleled atmosphere.
I appreciate well-crafted dance music, not the trivial kind.
By ZiOn
The album is stratospheric, an explosive and masterfully assembled blend of Breakbeat, Hip-Hop, Acid, Electronica, and more.
It is right, even today, to express our gratitude to a true musician like Norman Cook, and for an album that, in all respects, can be defined as a milestone in the electronics and music of the '90s.
