If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!>Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars< is Fatboy Slims third album, and it is also this prolific dance producers third release on Music On Vinyl. Here, Norman Cook continues the work he started on >Better Living Through Chemistry< (MOVLP111) and >You ve Come A Long Way, Baby< (MOVLP099), bringing in collaborators Macy Gray, Bootsy Collins and Roger Sanchez, yet he steps away from the capricious commercial world of the pop charts in favor of the steady beat of the dance floor. Re-issue on audiophlie 180 grams heavyweight vinyl.
This album contains floor fillers such as Sunset (Bird Of Prey) (vocals by the late Jim Morrison), 'Star 69', a heavy four-to-the-floor acid-techno rampage (which was funnily enough removed entirely from the 'clean' version of the album), and the Big-Beat oriented 'Ya Mama', 'Weapon Of Choice' and 'Mad Flava'. Soulful Gospel track 'Demons' with Macy Gray on vocals is the true highlight of the album; it feels like sunrise on a beach the morning after a Dazed And Confused-like life-changing-all-summer-in-one-night-experiences.
"Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars" calls for closer listening than previous albums, but it will still make you dance around your house like Christopher Walken.[info from mov]
