This review is from: Going Out of My Head//Michael Jackson (Audio CD)

The two songs featured on this single are originally taken from the "Better Living Through Chemistry" album. They are good representation of some of Fatboy's best work.

Michael Jackson is extremelly danceable and upbeat with a very hard house/club music feel. like most of Fatboy's work it's layered thick with samples. the samples used in this song are interesting and show how Fatboy is in touch with pop culture, it becomes evident toward the end of the track in which he alternates the Michael Jackson samples with Tina Turner samples. Both are extremely talented Black artists who were embraced largly by mainstream society more than their urban music roots. Both artists also went through dramatic changes in their careers.

The Song Going Out of My Head is also excellent and very upbeat. It shows Fatboy's diversity where he incorporates more rock samples and guitars in this song but still maintains it's club feel.

Fatboy Slim unlike a lot of dance music artists is able to cross many music barriers unscathed, and appeal to a variety of people with out losing his "realness" to his own music. On a personal level he is the one main reason I started listening to dancemusic in addition to my earlier choice of mostly Hip Hop. The interesting thing about Fatboy Slim is he is always evolving and changing and his fans seem to change with him.

In conclusion this single is a winner but just the tip of the iceberg of Fatboy Slim's work.
