Reviews:

''Better Living Through Chemistry'' is the first album by Fatboy Slim. It was released in 1996. Its name is a variation of a DuPont advertising slogan; for more information on the slogan, see "Better Living Through Chemistry".

The founder of Skint Records, Damian Harris, has described the album as having been 'more of a compilation than an album', as some of the tracks had been recorded some time previous to its release, due to Norman Cook's other musical projects.

The album cover features the image of a 3.5-inch floppy disk, paying homage to "Blue Monday" by New Order (which featured a 5.25-inch disk).

The song "Give the Po' Man a Break" featured in the film "Traffic" (2000).

The piano sample in "Song for Lindy" is from the song "Better Days" by Jimi Polo (1989) which was also sampled by Congress in their track "40 Miles" (1991). - Wikipedia
