'Better Living Through Chemistry' wasn't just Fatboy Slim's breakthrough - it helped redefine what electronic music could be in the mainstream. Released in 1996, the album arrived at a pivotal moment in UK club culture, fusing big beat, acid house energy and sample-heavy experimentation into something irreverent, accessible and unmistakably British. Tracks like 'Everybody Needs a 303', 'Going Out of My Head' and 'The Weekend Starts Here' captured the anarchic spirit of the era while laying the foundation for a sound that would dominate late-'90s pop culture. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Norman Cook's career as Fatboy Slim, BMG reissues his debut album 'Better Living Through Chemistry', also turning 30 in September 2026. This 2LP version has been remastered at half speed, following previous Fatboy Slim classic album remastered reissues and features new liner notes from journalist Alexis Petridis.
