Description
Features the hit singles "Praise You", "The Rockafeller Skank", "Right Here Right Now", as well as an Australia only bonus track "How Could They Hear Us". 'The Rockafeller Skank' was the warning shot. THAT Lord Finesse vocal combined with THAT twangy surf guitar have sent crowds into disco oblivion. A track that still refuses to move its way to the back of the record box. 'You've Come A Long Way, Baby' is Fatboy Slim personified. More than just a collection of disco dynamite, this is a real longplayer. Twelve tracks with their feet firmly on the dancefloor but with enough depth, width and mirth to make things a hell of a lot more interesting. From the momentous backward strings of 'Right Here Right Now' and the hilarious radio intro to 'The Rockafeller Skank' (no joke- this is a live US radio recording!), via the tongue in cheek vocoder nirvana of 'Kalifornia' and 'You're Not From Brighton', to the wondrous piano highs of 'Praise You' and the acid wig-out that is 'Acid 8000', 'You've Come A Long Way, Baby' is an unbelievable album. Norman Cook and his little studio at Brighton's House Of Love producing the tracks that have helped put Skint on the global musical map. Tracks that have been forged from Norman's momentous Djing sessions at the Boutique and around the world. 'You've Come A Long Way Baby' is the follow-up to the massive debut 'Better Living Through Chemistry', released in October '96. 'Better Living.' that featured the singles 'Everybody Needs A 303', 'Going Out Of My Head' and 'Santa Cruz'.
