.com Finally, the U.S. sees a domestic release of Fatboy Slim's On the Floor at the Boutique, hands down one of the most thrilling, addictive DJ mix albums ever released. Recorded live in 1998 at the Big Beat Boutique (epicenter of the mid- to late-'90s big-beat movement), Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim, takes the listener on a fascinating, diverse tour of four-on-the-floor sounds. What's always made Cook so great is the way that he seamlessly blends seemingly incongruous sounds to create righteously cool, shiny new beats; he truly is the trainspotting vinyl freak with an uncanny talent for creating accessible dance-floor shakers built of weird components. Take track 4--who'd have thought a spry blue-beat ska sample, an ELO riff, phat beats, a few stray horn riffs, and a sped-up Jungle Brothers vocal track would be one of the coolest things heard all year? --Mike McGonigal

A PERFECT CD.
I can't stress how much you need to get this enough. All of the songs flow together (literally, he did this in one sitting) and the beat is amazing. Anybody who is even remotely interested in electonica or fatboy slim shouldn't hesitate for a second when getting this. It is fatboy slim's best. Any techno listener is not a true tech without this CD in his collection. Just get it.

Captures the live show (must be played LOUD)
I caught Norman in Vegas (of all places) at the Hard Rock Cafe (of all places) in June of 1999 and was floored. This record brought it all back for me. If he put one of these out every month I would subscribe. Play it loud and not on 'shuffle.'

This album busts a better move than your mother after her breakdancing lesson. But seriously folks, how this CD rocks! May possibly lead to booty-shaking...

Awesome
I have almost all the regular Fatboy Slim stuff, but this CD is a bit different and I really like it. If you like Fatboy Slim and are looking for more, get it. I listen to this CD all the time and don't get tired of it.

A Fatboy virgin's first adventure
WOW!! This was my first Fatboy CD. I had never even heard of him before buying. I was bored musically and looking for something new, different, and good. Talk about a bullseye.I consider 'Boutique', to be one of the best CD's I've ever bought. Seamless music melding with infectious beats and glorious upbeat tempo make this a fantastic party album. Buy it, borrow it, download it, whatever it takes to experience this Fatboy masterpiece
