Do you rememver when Skint and Wall of Sound were the
hippest labels going, and every other record had a funky
drummer loop on it? It turned shit eventually but it was fun
to start with. I was gutted because I was too young to go to
any of the club nights.

big beat died the day after Dig Your Own Hole got released.
then a puppeteer attached some strings to it's arms and
tried to keep the show going...it smelled pretty bad

I'd say it was a good laugh up until Fatboy Slim got big.

Dig Your Own Hole was possibly the only truly great thing to
come out of the whole shebang (what the hell happened to the
Chems after that?). Fatboy had his moments too, namely Acid
8000. Bentley Rhythm Ace did it right too.

There were shitloads of good records on Skint and WOS. I
just can't remember the names of any of them! People just
sampled any old cobblers and stuck a drumloop on top. Which
was sometimes awesome and sometimes shit.

i thought "come with us" was a pretty tight integration of
what made big beat cool (uh.. ) and other cool sounds. if
you haven't given the album a listen through on a good
system you've missed out. i didn't really care for "push
the button", this recent album, much. come with us was full
of brilliant transitions and creativity while maintaining
near perfect dance cliches.
