And Why Wouldn’t Fatboy Slim Be in Heaven…

BPA

I mean, Mr. Cook is getting down with naked girls while David Byrne (Talking Heads) vocally dances over a trademark Fatboy Slim joint. And, oh, Dizzee Rascal throws down a verse as well. All of this in under four minutes!

The BPA — or The Brighton Port Authority is the new project from another big-beat master: Fatboy Slim. For the debut LP, he’s bringing along such friends as Iggy Pop, Martha Wainwright, and the two previously mentioned. This is the summer of 2008’s “Crazy”. It could be, right? At least the video will blow up! Brilliance…

Today’s act doesn’t stem from Chicago, nor Lost Angeles, but my fellow contributors’ favorite area: England. Bath, England to be more exact. This time around though, I’m not upping one track I feel is reminiscent of their overall sound, or just posting a grainy YouTube video; it’s time to finally share a full-length LP (link at the bottom of wordy post) with you.

These lads might have created one of the more diverse records to come out of the decade that birthed electronic music for the masses.

Fulfill your record collection and appease your inner spy by clicking the jump….
