Product Description

Amazon.ca

With one new track among five remixes, Camber Sands is one of three late 2002 EPs from Fatboy Slim (The Pimp and Illuminati are the others) based on material from his 2000 record, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars. After the crossover big beat of records like You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Halfway sounded more subtle, but its pseudomystical swoop and relative musical daring gave it an elastic energy ripe for remixing. "Santo's Napalm Reprise" of "Drop the Hate" is a prime example, as the song's flower-power ethic is swallowed up in a firestorm of acid house and thumping beats. The Chemical Brothers, Stanton Warriors, and Dave Clarke are also on hand to drop an impressive set of remixes, and an instrumental version of "Weapon of Choice" gives Christopher Walken some new material to work with. The EP's only disappointment is the new title track, which feels unfinished and suffers by comparison once the remixes start to flow. --Matthew Cooke

4.0 out of 5 stars upbeat and great to listen to May 27 2004
By Alison
Format:Audio CD
i really enjoyed this cd! its really upbeat and has a good feel to it. every song is thouroughly different from one another with different kinds of moods of the song. thought I have to admit some are kinda repetitive and a little boring which would allow me to skip a little of the song to go to a part that i like, its still an enjoyable cd! if you like something different with cool grooves in a song, this ones for you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Geez, I must really be a Fatboy Slim fanatic! July 8 2003
By Devin DiMattia
Format:Audio CD
Trust me, this set of 3 EPs is only for a truly insane Fatboy Slim fan (like yours truly). I would have to say that if you've only a basic knowledge of Norman Cook's work, the only one of these three worth buying is "Illuminati", the first one. As for "Camber Sands", I was let down after hearing the title track. "Camber Sands" wasn't as interesting as I was led to believe. It's quite tedious and there's not enough variation to keep things interesting. This EP is worth it for the interesting Chemical Brothers Mix of "Song for Shelter" as well as the extremely addictive Stanton Warriors Dub of "Demons". That's about it as far as the good tracks on here. There's an instrumental version of "Weapon of Choice" with a different ending, but it's not worth buying the whole EP over. Still, I'm sure if you do buy these three EPs, all your Fatboy Slim-crazy friends will think you're pretty cool ;-)
