- Give The Po' Man A break
It seems that Fatboy is taking a pasting again. Perhaps the context of this mix has been lost on some reviewers. It's live! (albeit edited in places because of the length of the set..). Some of the mixes DO rattle and aren't perfect, but this provides a refreshing change from the Pro-Tools perfected mixes being produced in studios and tagged with a DJ's name, purely because he/ she chose the tracks and the programming.
I love Norm's 'devil may care' approach. He happily crosses genres, mixing house into techno, breaks into progessive, etc etc etc... He doesn't try and take you 'on a journey'. Oh - it's a fabulous cliche and should be reserved only for the likes of Sasha & Digweed, who really do take you on a journey, but again use Pro-Tools to do so! I also love that Fatboy Norm is one of the few DJs left who uses a pair of Technics. Therefore his live sets are bound to include a couple of loose mixes, but this only adds to the authenticity! He's a party DJ through and through, who knows how to whip up a crowd that don't care that you shouldn't mix Trance into Soul or whatever, but do care that a DJ gets them wiggling. It's a special skill to make a blend of anthems sound fresh and new and Slimboy Fatnorm succeeds at that again here.
Rating: - It grows
I bought this album in 2004 and when I first bought it I didn't think all that much of it. Now, a few years later I've progressed from CDs. iTunes is telling me it's one of my most played albums. It seems that when I just want to listen to some good tunes, mixed well - this is where I go. It's not amazing, but it certainly grows on you.

- awesome tunes
i dont know why people both to give this album 1 star, they must of been born in the wrong era. the late 80's i was raving to the top tunes that revolutionised the dance scene. then in the early 90's dance really took off and made it what it is today. this set piece by norman cook has to be the best thing ive heard for a while, i am a great fan of dj mixes and while there are some mixes on cd that are better, this cd delivers some great vibing tunes which will have you moving for the weekend. all my friends like it and we are not really followers of norman cook, but this has to be a good buy for the REAL CONNOISSEUR who enjoys dance music in its original form.
Rating: - Amazing! One of the BEST mixes in the last 17 years!
One of the best mixes and DJ sets I've ever heard! I REALLY wish I was there! But this Cd is the next best thing. It absolutely goes OFF half way through...after the safety announcement!
Ignore the negative reviews. I've no idea where they are coming from. I started listening to Pete Tong from the age of 13 and I'm 30 this year...so I've heard a few mixes and "essential mixes" and heard many sets from big names in clubs and this has got to be one of THE best. So many mixes around. So much of the same old same old. But this is rockin. A classic. Live at Liquid Rooms by Jeff Mills is another. I'm also enjoying a Bob Sinclair mix with his gem Love Generation at the end. The best sets I've actually heard live would be Chemical Brothers at T In the Park 2004 and Daft Punk in 2003(?).
Fat boy will get you going every time! Perfect for a party or to get you in party mood before a night out! Enjoy!

Rating: - Fantastic
Fatboy slim mixes like a dream; from classic dance anthems of his own making to those of others, this CD is an experience not to be missed. There are some negative reviews listed here, but they're way off. Anyone who enjoys Fatboy Slim's exciting, big beat style of dance will enjoy this CD. Great buy!
