Editorial Review:
On a crystal clear English summer's evening in 2001, Norman Cook played a celebrated DJ set in front of an estimated 30,000 loved-up Brightonians, generating two hours of typically hedonistic party mayhem. It's these two hours--or, at least, an edited version of them--that make up Cook's first mix album in ages and a perfect souvenir of the night now known as "Normstock." Soundwise, the album sees Senor Fatboy doing what he does best--mashing up thumping dance floor favorites with a sweat-drenched party panache. Those expecting classic big beat belters are in for a shock, though, since Mr. Slim is more into straight-up house and techno these days--albeit with a party twist. So, we get some of 2001's biggest records--Basement Jaxx's "Where's Your Head At?," Raven Maze's "The Real Life," a couple from Santos--alongside a smattering of classics (Leftfield's "Phat Planet," an anthemic version of Underworld's "Born Slippy") and the off Fatboy number to keep the regulars happy. The result is a hot, sweaty, grimy mix that captures the sound and feel of Norman Cook's DJ sets, even if it does feel a touch out of date. --Matt Anniss
This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by Fatboy Slim. This live document of Fatboy Slim's homecoming to his adopted town of Brighton, England, is designed to be played at maximum volume in the company of as many sweaty friends and total strangers as you can safely gather in your chosen venue. Whether it's your living room, local bar or remote field somewhere, a Fatboy Slim album is a practical guarantee of good times and impeccable dance mixes, and Live On Brighton Beach doesn't disappoint. Southern Fried. 2004.

Rating:  - guys like this should stay in the studio
people like mr. cook are at their best when they have a studio at their disposal and their worst when they have to perform live with no over-dubbing or gimmicks. i was fortunate enough to be given this disc by industry insiders and if i'd spent my own money on it, i'd have been severely disappointed.
the sleeve has all the pap you'd expect from label promoters, talking about how unbelievable and amazing the night of spinning was; but all i can think is, "have you actually *listened* ... Read More

Rating: - Really awesome, great CD
I bought this CD 5 months ago in an impulse. I just saw it on the shelf, and since I had recently started to love electronic music and had heard so much about Fatboy Slim,, I decided to buy it and try out my musical interest. The first impression I had wasn't a very good one, but that was before I actually developped my love for electronic music. However, after some days, some songs started to make me move, and i realised that the CD was awesome. The beginning is excellent, with the hybrid Born Slippy/Right ... Read More
