Read about it here:
I was really torn between each of Norman Cook’s (aka Fatboy Slim) first three albums, as each one is really quite well done. Ultimately, I chose his second album because that one was the big breakthrough for him as an artist. Big beats, great hooks, and the “f” word 108 times… This album had 5 hit songs and one amazingly quirky video, and propelled Fatboy Slim to the forefront of the big beat movement. Although he was a staple in record crates long before this album, he really took off as a featured remixer right after this went huge. I can’t remember a single coming out, in the year after this album was released, that didn’t have a Fatboy Slim remix on it. And seriously, how genius are “The Rockafeller Skank” and “Praise You?”
