Fatboy Slim - Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars

Imho this album has two IMPRESSIVE tracks, 'Star 69' and 'Retox', they shake your soul like no one.

Maybe it's true that those are a bit different from the usual style, and that's why I love them. Don't miss me, I like the Fatboy way but I love to see different styles from one man. You know already how he thinks about one thing, let's see what think about others.

As I said, those two songs make the album a must have.

One final note, I've seen an import of this album that has a Bird of Prey remix on it (possibly from Japan,) but I believe that remix is already listed here.

With regard to earlier messages, I have all these Latin-flavored Pizzaman tracks that Norman made that, arguably, are neither big beat nor house. Depending on which track you have on any album, you can get an conglomeration of styles.

Erm... "sold his soul to house music"? Norm's always loved house - before he was Fatboy Slim he did mostly house. Anyway, whatever, nice album. Not quite my cup of tea but "Retox", "Ya Mama" and "Drop The Hate" get it pumping, and "Bird Of Prey" is one of the loveliest things I have ever heard. Should have used his 303 more though...

Another great artist sells his soul to house music. So many good producers seem to be jumping on the house bandwagon lately... I think Fatboy Slim should stay true to himself and keep doing what he's best at: Big Beat!!! Even though the big beat scene seems to have a died a natural death. Not his best work, but still some killer trax (Star 69, Mad Flava, Ya Mama...).

I don't like this as much as some of his other albums. Its good, and I like "ya mama" (the one with "SHAKE WHAT YA MAAAMAAAA GAAAVE YYAAAHH). But some of the tracks just bore me.
