Beats International: Let Them Eat Bingo: Cassette

You can tell a lot about Beats International from Let Them Eat Bingo (1990): it's a hip-hop, rap album with a clear point of view. Beats International were a British dance music band and hip-hop collective, formed in the late 1980s by Norman Cook based in Brighton, East Sussex, England, after his departure from the Housemartins. Beat in the United Kingdom and Elektra in the United States. The project was founded and led by disc jockey and former Housemartins bassist Norman Cook, who produced the album alone and intended Beats International to be a collective of permanent and temporary members including singers and other performers. Here's a British electro, jazz, reggae and rap fusion album called “Let Them Eat Bingo” by the “Beats International”. One of the members of this group is Fatboy Slim. All songs were produced by Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, who's know for his trip hop, acid house and big beat styles of DJ'ing.

There's a strong electronic and reggae streak running through it. Norman Cook shaped the sound here, and it shows. Worth every minute of your listening time — and a spot on the shelf.
