The Chemical Brothers get the greatest hits treatment, September
Posted: 23 Jun '08, 17:54
The Chemical Brothers will release a best-of record on September 1, Brotherhood.
A single will precede the LP's release: 'Midnight Madness' is available from August 4.
Brotherhood comes as a double-disc set - the first collects together 14 singles alongside another new track, 'Keep My Composure', featuring Spank Rock.
Disc two features nothing but the duo's Electronic Battle Weapon offerings, numbers one to ten. These pieces "have acted as the laboratories for The Chems' devious musical experiments and laid the rhythmic and melodic foundations for numerous tracks, as well as providing some of the duo,s most formidable mixes".
This is the first time the Electronic Battle Weapon arrangements have been made widely available. Tracklisting for the first disc, as follows:
'Galvanize'
'Hey Boy Hey Girl'
'Block Rockin' Beats'
'Do It Again'
'Believe'
'Star Guitar'
'Let Forever Be' (Featuring Noel Gallagher)
'Leave Home'
'Keep My Composure' (Featuring Spank Rock)
'Saturate'
'Out Of Control'
'The Golden Path' (Featuring The Flaming Lips)
'Setting Sun' (Featuring Noel Gallagher)
'Chemical Beats'

I sware I already have a best of/singles compilation
from Chemical Brothers...
But the battle weapons are usualy absolute beasts so thats good at least.
-
just had a look only five of the songs are not on the other comp
I'm guessing they are on the last 2 albums they made then.
-
another "new order" que from chemicals...
:-)

Galvanise, track one?
eurgh
-
Where the hell…
is The Salmon Dance?!

What a fucking swindle
The last compilation definitely came out no more than 5 years ago. The record company should be ashamed of themselves. I see it has the obligatory 2 new songs as well to attract the completists
-
Yup, so do I
'Singles: 93-03' to be precise.
This seems a little unnecessary.-
This does seem desperate cashing in on a quiet year.
The Electronic Battle Weapon stuff ain't all that either.
In fact, they would have been better releasing those on their own, if they want to retain any credibility.
-
And even that seems like 5 years too many...
-
-
there are better songs.
-
Get Exit Planet Dust and Dig Your Own Hole.
Bingo, Greatest Hits collection.
Nothing else they've ever done comes even remotely close. In fact, they're bloody awful these days. A pastiche of themselves.
