Anyone who's watched MTV Cribs knows Norman Cook, otherwise known as Fatboy Slim, has a hankering for smiley faces (and for some serious beach-front digs.) But the last thing this album does is make you grin.
Recorded live on Cook's hometown beach in front of throngs of Brit techno-house-hounds, Live on Brighton Beach only makes you realize how boring minimalistic UK club music is getting, and how a DJ, despite how many awards he keeps on his shelves and how humble he tries to appear, is really not a musician.
My advice: Buy a CD burner if you don't have one already and see how easy it is to be Norman Cook yourself.
