Fatboy Slim
You've Come A Long Way, Baby 2LP vinyl

Fat Boy Slim's "You've Come A Long Way, Baby" is probably the most famous big beat techno album ever, and it's easy to see why. The tracks which aren't hits are the "weakest" part of the album, but that's only because they grow on you - once you've listened to classics like "Gangsta's Paradise" or "Right Here, Right Now" it's pretty hard to like a song like "Soul Surfing". Give them time, though, and I'm sure you'll love them just as much. The songs here are so complex, fun and catchy that it's basically impossible not to love the album. Fat Boy crosses so many different genres and ideas here to make an album that doesn't sound like any other techno album I've ever heard before. These 4 classics ("Right Here, Right Now", "The Rockafeller Skank", "Gangsta's Paradise" and "Praise You) plus its historical influence makes this not only worth it but an instant classic as well. If you liked this album then chances are that you'll enjoy The Prodigy's "The Fat Of The Land" or The Chemical Brothers' "Dig Your Own Hole". Absolutely recommended!
