Synopsis

Amazon.com

Sporting a hot new track along with five remixes, The Pimp is one of three late 2002 EPs from Fatboy Slim (Camber Sands and Illuminati are the others) based on material from his 2000 record, Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars. A potential mainstay on any DJ's deck, the deeply funky title track plays a lascivious, electronically altered Bootsy Collins (who also shows up on Illuminati) vocal off a rumbling bassline, producing a fun, sleazy sound. The remixes are of a similar bent, offering grubby, sweaty takes on "Drop the Hate" and "Retox," along with a swaggering version of Halfway's overplayed yet still potent "Star 69." The "Midfield General's Disco Reshuffle Mix" of "Talkin' 'bout My Baby" uses a passionate vocal sample to deliver a lo-fi jolt, ending this short and sultry workout on a relatively wholesome note. --Matthew Cooke

CD Reviews

Probably the worst of the three EPs

Devin DiMattia | North Carolina, USA | 07/08/2003

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The song "The Pimp" isn't all that good to begin with. Man, Fatboy Slim made a lot of songs with Bootsy Collins, didn't he? Though, the song is ripe with humorous innuendo and it's quite the funky track. However, it's a lot better than these bland, nine-minute remixes. The second track, "Drop the Hate" is remixed by Reverend H. Lidbo and the Progressive Baptist Choir of Stockholm and, believe me, it's not even half as interesting as it sounds. Pretty much the only really good track on here is Midfield General's Disco Reshuffle Mix of "Talkin' Bout My Baby", which you can hear on the much-better Fatboy Slim live document "Big Beach Boutique II". I wish they had pulled the best songs off all three EPs and made it into one disc. Here's what I think should be on it:1. Illuminati
2. Sunset (Darren Emerson Mix)
3. Demons (Stanton Warriors Dub)
4. Talkin' Bout My Baby (Midfield General's Disco Reshuffle Mix)"
5. Song for Shelter (Chemical Brothers Mix)
6. Star 69 (Timo Maas Mix)
I would also throw in Fatboy Slim's mix of the Chemical Brothers' "Come With Us" 'cause there's nowhere you can buy it in the US unless you buy an overpriced import single."
