Subtlety does not exist in Fatboy Slim’s world. The no-nonsense king of big beat has a job to do: get the party started right. The relentless musical hook is at the center of Greatest Remixes. Reggae and ska rhythms (”Magic Carpet Ride,” “Get Up! Go Insane!”), R&B lines (”The World’s Made Up of This and That,” “What Is Kahuna?”), and acid-synth (”Roll the Dice”) are all just grist for the groove mill. “Dubby Jointy” is the disc’s wildest track. Backwards tape whooshes, a screaming guitar lick, and a crazed, creepy vocal part coalesce into an inspired version. The album’s closer, a remix of “E.V.A.” by Jean Jacques Perrey surprises. Fatboy knows enough not to mess too much with the 30-year-old song. The original–funky, loungy, and spacy–could have been recorded last week. –Fred Cisterna
