Pros: Great beats, interesting mix of genres, appealing melodies Cons: Well, uh, nothing...
I don’t dance. In fact, I didn’t even dance much to speak of on my own wedding day. But this album from Fatboy Slim always manages to get me moving for some strange reason. The British born Norman Cook has been making music ...
Pros: Lots of fun repetitive grooves. Cons: It's kind of repetitive. It's kind of repetitive. It's...
As a member of the big-beat collective the Housemartins, Norman Cook wasn't the most prolific of names. As solo artist Fatboy Slim, he first experienced moderate success with "Going Out of My Head" from 1997's Better Living Through Chemistry.
...
Pros: Great, inventive, and inspiring beats. Fusion of musical sounds. Hooks. Cons: Not enough tracks!
As you may know, I decided to hold my first write-off.The concept I came up with was that you have to write about any form of music that inspires you. This can inspire you in any way. It can lead you to being severely depressed, very...
Pros: Unique, danceable,soul-filled fresh tunes Cons: Don't buy it for the kids
In spite of my massive reviews of classic rock artists, I have a secret love for dance music. It was likely all those years in college going to dances, clubbing, and eventually becoming a DJ myself for a couple of years.
Pros: different. music with cheek. Cons: That I wasn't the first to review this.
Masses of people worship Norman Cook a.k.a Fatboy Slim. For the two appearances he made in both Singapore and Melbourne respectively, I (bravely) ventured to each session with the hope of not getting trampled in the midst of gyrating sweat-condensed...
Pros: Non stop repetition, samples and quirkiness Cons: He's definitely not from the "less is more" camp
The debate over the talent of Norman Cook aka. Fatboy Slim rages on. He comes up with some memorable hooks and samples that he uses ad infinitum, but that may be where the novelty ends.
The street vibe that emanates from his breakthrough...
Pros: Perfect way in for those of us who had blocked dance music from our minds Cons: Possibly not as challenging and exciting to the diehard fan
I must have spent ten years sneering at dance music. At least. When I was a kid, the dance music that I heard was trashy uncool stuff with no spine or passion. There was no sense of menace - just a kind of faux-hedonism that never really convinced me. I...
Pros: fatboy - fat wallet Cons: sounds like a bad school disco DJ - "rockafella skank" - you what, son?
I think what everyone forgets in the whole fatboy furore is that he is Norman bloody Cook out of The Housemartins - you know, who gave us such *rockabilly* delights as "Happy Hour" - I mean, the guy has been around for absolutely yonks. ...
Pros: Good to dance to, Nice sound. Cons: The songs can get a bit boring as they are way to long.
Norman Cook, AKA: Fat Boy Slim is one of the most bestselling Techno Muzic DJ's going around today.
His recent album, " You've Come A Long Way, Baby " is one of my favourites.
The tracks on this album are as listed....
Pros: helps understand electronica as a genre Cons: new sub-genres coming up everyday means you won't understand it fully, ever!
To brush aside electronica roughly into the bin of dismissal simply because it doesn't involve real (read: physically tangible) musical instruments is being just as intelligent as the reviewer who said, "Rock n' Roll? It'll be gone by October"...
Fatboy Slim led the way to big beat popularity along with the Chemical Brothers last year. His latest record continues his tradition for killer beats fused with killer poppy hooks.
From the infectuous single heard everywhere, "The Rockefeller...
Pros: This is a killer party album. Cons: It will annoy the hell out of your parents.
I don't know what it is, but Norman Cook, AKA Fatboy Slim has a thing for naming his albums after old advertising slogans for products that back in the days were thought to be harmless but are now known to kill people. (Better Living Through Chemestry...
Pros: it makes you wanna get up and DANCE! Cons: you'll get detention for the cd player in school AND disrupting class by dancing on the desks...
so i'll admit it. i ws a hypocrite when it came to this cd. at first i couldnt stand it but all of a sudden i found myself constantly singing his songs everywhere...i never thought the day would come when i would actually want to hear "check it out...
Pros: "Praise You" hasn't annoyed me yet Cons: as far as techno goes, not the best example
I'll admit right off the bat for you that I don't generally go for stuff from the radio. Nothing against it. I just spend too much time listening to other things. But the first now-too-familiar single "Praise You" has managed to keep itself...
