Editor's review
Is there any other electronic artist that could successfully commission the great Christopher Walken to dance --nay, fly through a cheesy hotel for a dance-music video? Well, Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim did it, and made it the most memorable of many notable moments in his career. "The Brighton Butcher" (as he's called back home) is an inarguable master of the good-humored, superclub-friendly breakbeat house for which he's known, with his "You've Come A Long Way Baby" album easily slipping into critics' lists of all-time best albums.
