Taken from the new album ‘Palookaville', ‘Slash Dot Dash' was always Norman Cook's choice for first single. The biggest and dumbest track off the whole album. Repetitive samples and monstrous guitars. Fatboy Slim back in business.
Norman Cook comments: “ ‘Slash Dot Dash' is a mix of old and new Fatboy. There is repetition but this time the track actually has live guitars! The plan was to throw in a bit of Buzzcocks and The White Stripes. The track is just a comment on this new language people seem to have - although I don't even own a computer. Well, I do, the Atari in my studio, but no one ever sent me an email on that!â€
The new album ‘Palookaville' is released on the 4th October 2004. The album features vocal contributions from Damon Albarn, Lateef from Latyrx, Bootsy Collins, Justin Robertson and local Brighton band Jonny Quality.
And in all the excitement, it shouldn't be forgotten that this is Skint's 100th single release. Congratulations all round then for one of the UK's finest independent labels.
