fatboy slim bio
With Fatboy Slim albums, the clue is always in the title, and Norman Cook's third outing is no exception. Norman was staying at LA's Chateau Marmont hotel, when the title came to him. As the New Year dawned Norman ventured back into his home studio in Brighton, England to make the most emotional, innovative album of his career. Norman explains the progression by pointing out that "The Rockafeller Skank" was the first track he recorded for his last album, and "Right Here Right Now" was the last.The first UK single, 'Sunset (Bird Of Prey)' is adapted from an ambient track that Norman wrote several years ago. So Norman Cook's back, but he does not want to get any bigger, just better. Fatboy Slim is the newest alter ego of DJ Norman Cook. The Beats international album Let Them Eat Bingo (1990) was a dub filled sound-fest. Norman and others had succeeded in creating unique and original music almost completely out of the use of other records. Beats international recorded another album "Excursion on the Version" (1991), where Norman's musical songwriting talent shone through more than on the previous album. (The first three tracks on the album are damn fine tho). Beats international toured for a while, where Norm
Sometime after the first Freakpower album, Norman found time to create a new album under the pseudonym Pizzaman (1995), spawning such classics as Sex on the Streets, Trippin' on Sunshine and Happiness. This album is classed as UK house - lots of housey organs & happy drum tracks. We hear Norman pioneer the big-beat phenomenon with Gottaman containing an early but poorly polished thumping big beat drum loop. Then Freakpower toured for a year, and recorded a second album made from original material written by both Cook and Slater together. Then Norman founded Skint records - with Skint top dog Damien Harris. Since Loaded-Records owned the name "Pizzaman", Norman adopted yet another pseudonym - Fatboy Slim. Recorded in a week in his converted attic recording studio (the house of love), the album Better Living Thru Chemistry (1997) attracted a great deal of attention, breaking down the genre barrier with "phunky-phat-techno-rock-breakbeat-dance". Around the same time, Norman put Fatboy Slim (and or Pizzaman) to work on some Mighty Dub Katz tracks. Norman went on to produce another Freakpower Track No Way (1998) this time with a fresh record label (Deconstruction), leaving Island records to feel
