The Same Channel is a collaborative album by American musician Fat Jon and Belgian musician Styrofoam.[4] It was released on Morr Music in 2006.[1]

Reception

Steve Marchese of XLR8R described The Same Channel as "[an] experimental, courageous, and wildly successful coupling of styles."[4] Alan Ranta of Tiny Mix Tapes said: "Production wise, Styrofoam's club-friendly, synth-driven electro-pop takes command."[3] Trent Moorman of The Stranger felt that "Fat Jon weighs in like LL Cool J in his prime."[2] Marisa Brown of AllMusic called it "an indie-electronica/hip-hop album that should thrill backpackers who are tired of soul- and funk-based beats and are looking for something fractured and galactic with that sad mechanicality that is a necessary element of any Morr Music release."[1]
