4 out of 5 stars How on earth did they get Walken to appear in that wonderful video??   October 23, 2008
S. B. Dupre (Shadowland)
First I saw the WEAPON OF CHOICE video with Christopher Walken. I'd never really heard FATBOY SLIM and that was my introduction. The cd has a few greats and a few misses. I wish KALIFORNIA had been on it.

All in all, it was worth the money.

I love these compositions. It's music for the listener. So many artists create music for themselves. But if you want people to listen to it, you've got to think more about the listener. Fatboy Slim does that in this album.


4 out of 5 stars Right about now...the funk soul brother...   July 14, 2008
Andrew Bauer (Durham, NC)
With hits like The Rockafeller Skank, Praise You and Weapon Of Choice, Fatboy Slim (a.k.a. Quentin Leo Cook) has been moving people and cranking out great mixes for over two decades. His songs have also created buzz in the medium of video--Rockafeller Skank was featured in the movie She's All That, Praise You was featured in Cruel Intentions, and Weapon of Choice had an award-winning and highly requested video featuring Christopher Walken. This collection of hits brings the best of the best together in one place (and the alternate version, which includes the videos, is perfect for those who want to hear AND see the songs).

I'm not a huge fan of Fatboy Slim but this CD is great. Most of the songs you can hear all the time and there were a few I have not heard of at all. While most of these pay on commericals or in movies (mainstream) its good background music for parties.



5 out of 5 stars Who IS Fatboy Slim?   January 12, 2007

Well, I had NO IDEA who he was until I listened to this CD and recognized almost EVERY SINGLE ONE of the songs on it!

These songs have been in TV commercials, movies, etc.

We also bought one for my brother in law for Christmas, and he likes all the songs on it as well.

EXCELLENT CD!!!! If you want to get a Fatboy Slim CD, this is the one to get.
