New albums out recently from both Fatboy Slim ("Palookaville":http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/fatboyslim/palookaville) and The Chemical Brothers ("Push the Button":http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/chemicalbrothers/pushthebutton). Also out at the same time is a complete remix album of PTB called "Flip the Switch":http://www.chemicalbrothersremixed.com/. Out of the two, I like the Chemical Bros' new offering a whole lot more. Huge beats, Q-Tip shows up on track 1... what's not to like? I particularly like the eastern-sounding "Marvo Ging", and the slightly eerie "The Big Jump". The FBS album is not as good, at least for the first few spins I've given it. "Don't let the man" is fun and recognizeable, both from the 5 Man Electrical Band hook "and the sign said long-haired freaky people need not apply" and the fact that it was remixed on the last SSX game I bought. The other songs are not as catchy, proving to me that Norman Cook is a better remixer/house DJ than an original composition writer. Bonus points for getting Bootsy Collins (awww, shizzle!) to help him cover Steve Miller's "The Joker", tho.
