5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Compilation, June 26, 2008

By	Bootleg - See all my reviews

This is one of the best compilations to come out of the Late Night Series. What a fellow reviewer failed to realize prior to purchasing this cd was that the Late Night Tales/Another Late Night series are compilation albums of work done by other artists, with an occasional track or two from the featured artist compiling the album, nothing more, nothing less. They are not original work, but a series of songs put together by the artist that he/she finds influencial, or simply finds groovy. However, that is by no means a bad thing. These Late Night Tales albums are some of the best "mixed tapes" I have ever had the pleasure to listen.

That being said, Fatboy Slim put together a great album here. The vibe of this album: smooth, cool, upbeat, groovy, silly, and mellow. With a mix of rock, reggae, classical, calypso, international, 60s pop, and unique gems (Robert Mitchum singing!), I really think you'll enjoy this album. The only track I find a strange choice is Bootsy Colllins' "Everything is Everything". But that's the only track of 21 that I didn't like.

Listen to the samples, and I'm sure you'll agree this album is most enjoyable. Other personal favorites of the Late Night Tales/ Another Late Nite collections are compilations from Air, Belle & Sebastian, The Flaming Lips, and Nouvelle Vague. I have discovered many new artists thanks to Late Night Tales/ Another Late Night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Killer comp from a killer comp series, January 19, 2010

By	N. Watkins "nalthus" (baltimore, md usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Reviews of the LateNightTales or Another Late Night series seem to miss the point - this is a compilation of music from each Artist's personal collection, sometimes re-worked in their own special way but more often than not, left simply alone. It's more of a series of homage, than a series of original works (of which there are very, very few). The point of the series is to experience what artists like, and how they like it - Late. LNT from Fatboy Slim is another great addition to a great series of compilations - think of it as one of the greatest mix-tapes you'll ever get, from great musical acts.

Not much to say about this. I was excited to get it and I am glad I have it, but it's nothing great. A compilation CD, of which, has little fatboy slim, is a good mix of electronica, but nothing overly fantastic. I say get it and enjoy it, but don't set your expectations too high.
