Not sure about the HW sound in there, but its definitely like a bunch of their
other material.

IMHO, its a fair track ruined by excessive use of the title sample, which just
becomes annoying from about 1 minute in. I guess its me becoming an old fogey,
but I notice these days that all these big tracks by the Chem Bros (&
particularly Fat Boy Slim) start off promising but go absoutely nowhere for 4
minutes, looping about 15 seconds of sonic interest ad nauseum. Where's the
dynamics and progression gone ? I mean plenty of HW songs chug along for 10
minutes but at least there's some variance to keep you occupied.
