Former Housemartins and Beats International member Norman Cook continues to set vintage funk and soul samples to jumpy, new-school beats on his second album under the Fatboy Slim alias. Cook cut-and-paste, big-beat contemporaries (i.e. Propellerheads, Chemical Brothers) by using natural, organic sounds and making sure the musical hooks are never buried in his aural collages. Buoyed by the mega-hit 'Rockafeller Skank' (right about now, funk soul brother), You've Come A Long Way Baby is guaranteed to pack any dance floor, yet it's also musical enough to be enjoyed sitting down.
