Wow! I hadn't listened to this album in a long time 🤩
Did you know that the Atari ST was used in the creation of the tracks?

Amazing interview with Norman Cook on
The Retro Hour PodCast:
https://audioboom.com/posts/8835205

We're joined by Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim
The Housemartins, Me and the Farmer, 1987 on Go! Discs
Released as a 12″ single from The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death, including the b-side of the 7″ single “I Bit My Lip” but also “He Will Find You Out” and “Step Outside.”
Norman Cook (who later became Fatboy Slim among many aliases), Dave Hemingway (also later in The Beautiful South), Stan Cullimore, and Paul Heaton were The Housemartins, a Christian Socialist band out of Hull. I was (and still am) a huge fan and pick up their singles/EPs whenever I find them, which is not often.
My copy, via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA, is a UK Aston Clinton pressing.

"No way" - Freak Power
Not the first time they'd built a whole room inside the #TOTP studio - Madness performed one of their songs in a reconstructed living room back in the early 80s.
This is one of the early examples of Big Beat, massive banging tunes with brassy jazzy instrumentation.
Last time we hear from "Freak Power" - from now on, Norman Cook uses his own name.
