		<description><![CDATA[A fellow forum member (though he doesn't post anymore) under the name Liquidfunk has recently been noticed for his musical talent. From the very beginning I have always believed this guy was going places (I feel I should be rewarded in a financial way for showing my support) and it's happening for him.<br />
<br />
Here he is featured on the Guardian music blog: <a href='http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2012/apr/17/new-music-enjoyed-teeth' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.guardian....c-enjoyed-teeth</a><br />
<br />
Last week <strong class='bbc'>Rob Da Bank</strong>, host of<strong class='bbc'> John Peel's Radio 1</strong> show played "Teeth" without his prior knowledge.<br />
<br />
On top of that, he tells me his music will be forwarded to<strong class='bbc'> Edmund of The Chemical Brothers</strong>.<br />
<br />
Show your support for a fellow brother <img src='http://forum.thechemicalbrothers.com/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_e_smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

		<title>Bbc 6 Music Celebrates Chemical Brothers</title>
		<link>http://forum.thechemicalbrothers.com/index.php?/topic/9143-bbc-6-music-celebrates-chemical-brothers/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>As 6 Music Celebrates: Dance Culture, 15 years after the release of The Chemical Brothers' Dig Your Own Hole, Sean Rowley charts the electronic duo's rise to fame and re-visits live highlights.<br />
<br />
 Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands met while at University together in Manchester and spent their time visiting some of the legendary nightclubs, such as the Hacienda.<br />
<br />
 In 1992, they created their first record as The Dust Brothers, a name they eventually had to lose due to the existence of a band with the same name in America.<br />
<br />
 Their debut album, Exit Planet Dust, was eventually released in 1995, selling over one million copies worldwide.<br />
And from that moment, the Chemical Brothers began a rise to fame that saw them re-mixing the likes of the Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy and Primal Scream.<br />
<br />
 In late 1996, they reached Number One in the UK charts for the first time with Setting Sun, featuring Noel Gallagher from Oasis. The subsequent album, 1997's Dig Your Own Hole, brought with it another Number One single and international recognition, with Block Rockin' Beats winning a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental.<br />
<br />
 This half hour programme, originally broadcast on the World Service, is followed by highlights from their 1997 performance on the Other Stage at Glastonbury. Those who favoured Simons and Rowlands over Coldplay on the Pyramid Stage enjoyed a night of field fillers from a duo that helped shape dance culture.</div></div><br />

		<title>The Live Evolution Of Big Beat Acts - 199Xs And 201Xs - Where Next?</title>
		<link>http://forum.thechemicalbrothers.com/index.php?/topic/9142-the-live-evolution-of-big-beat-acts-199xs-and-201xs-where-next/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[When I switched over from a complete classic rock n metal background to big beat electronica back in 2001 I remember my clear big beat favourites were the Chems (Come With Us was my crossover eyeopening lifechanging record) followed by the Prodigy, Fatboy, Daft Punk and BT. I used to often wonder back in the 2000s how these bands will evolve individually though they're all being clubbed under Big Beat pioneers. Which ones would stay in the game, evolve to new levels, still blow our minds over the decades with innovation n live gigs.<br />
Clearly all have gone down their own paths. Different yet iconic all. Some have obviously lost studio steam. Personally I used to often wonder most between the Prodigy and the Chems. They both started (like Fatboy) as insanely psychedelic mindbending music (I was a Prodigy Experience fan more than Fat Of the Land - that mad rave energy of the outter space drums n keys Liam wrote on that gold record- that record wouldn't stop from the word go to finish). The Chems were way more diverse from the word go.. a complete psychedelic album experience much like Pink Floyd (my numero uno psy Gods back then) - their albums would follow the acid graph - start..rise ... peak madness.. nice long awesome plateau.. gradual n soothing comedown leaving you with an afterglow. Glint. Tonight in 2012 I finally saw the Chems live film, and the Prodigy live film back to back - yeah they're late in the day some may say,  but I personally think it's apt timing for both the bands - they define right now what both stand for.. today.. and their evolution into the mammoth live acts they've become over the last 20 yrs - both iconic yet so different. Also having seen the Prodigy live twice last year finally, and the Chems last month, my dejavu stares me in the face now; this is what I had kinda imagined back in 2001 when it was not so clear. The Prodigy - a mad mad live act - definitely way more commercial and bigger in the dance music industry thanks to their flamboyant live and media acts - Keith Flint - enought said... Liam the supergod and the brain of the juggernaut always had Keith, Leeroy and Max to smack the proverbial bitch up live. Mad bad ass punk energy, live guitars and drums, it's mindnumbing to see the Milton Keynes DVD - a lot of metal fans at Download this year are gonna be up for the surprise of their life. I remember some friends who went to see Maiden at Dubai back in 2005 and were forced to see Prodigy (as they were right before Maiden) - they didn't know what hit them that night. These people had never heard any electronic music before. I found some of their vocal reactions on message boards amusing but I knew exactly where they were coming from when they said " I don't know man what was going on but we couldn't stop jumping the fuck up for 2 hrs". Yes these ole skool metalheads were raving to Prodigy that night, back before they could spell electronic music or rave. A lot of them love the Prodigy and a lot of electronic music today. Nothing ironic there really.<br />
The Chems on the other hand are a completely different psychedelic monster in the studio and live even today - they get crazier n bigger if anything by the day..some naysayers may say they've become tamer - there are no mad chemical fucked up beats anymore, not much breaks, but they've done all that, they have nothing left to prove there- they wrote the fucking genre! there's no moshing, there's no headbanging, there can never be any circle of death at a Chems live. People (fans and first timers alike) are often caught with their eyes closed, holding their hands up to the sky, humbled, and silenced in a spiritual trance. Out of control. In awe of something bigger than everything they've always felt and believed real. Possible.<br />
Watching them live last month dj for two and a half hours bang centre front infront of the mad strobes and loud, crystal clear but mindcrunching sound envelope (without any visuals!!); and then watching the live FujiRock film tonight with the insane visuals from the other mad visual scientists Adam Smith and Marcus Lyall.. I'm silenced again. I shouldn't have been. Not to this extent. For I've been hearing their live fan bootlegs since Come With Us era - hundreds by now, I've always known they're mad psycho scientists fucking your brain in all kindsa dimensions n melting it, even more if you are a fan and know where those multiple layers and samples are coming in live from - how effortlessly (or you may believe) they're being triggered, mixed live into monster segues, making a psychedelic salad of your heads - with a big grin plastered on your face in unbelievable awe most times, - at their dexterity at blending those mad layers and samples live, taking you higher than you could imagine, those mad bass drops which can actually throw you off your feet, fucking with those sirens till u scream scream n then scream some more.. till you just give in.. surrender to their void.. let forever be.. take u.. however.. wherever... just let it flow.  They make you do it even if u'r not the kind who can let go of control. They leave you no fucking choice really. I've seen it happen to 25000 almost ravers (almost most non fans-  there to "check out" the Chems) - they didn't know what hit them but they knew how good it was. Yes not everyone can withstand the complete aural assualt they subject you to initially, but at some point you just give in and let yourself go where they take you - those very private very shy rockstars behind the mad analogue decks. You're lost in their world. They control everything that you see in there. Literally. For eg, "most" Fujirock fans on the film didn't seem the hardcore fans who knew every song.. but they all went through the most mindnumbing psychdelic circus that night - yet the most spiritual epic journey of their lives. You could see it on those sometimes lost, sometimes scared, innocent, bewildered, frenzied yet mostly very happy faces. I always knew about this MAD aspect to the Chems live experience- having been hearing the fan bootlegs loud in the confines of my home forever now; there could be no more a crazier mindbending live experience for a mad fan like me. But still ("unsurprisingly", if I may borrow anType's very apt word here, when I saw them dj last month at Future Music I actually got blown by the real taste of THE CHEMS LIVE experience - of being there and not being there - they took us through these wormholes into many parallel universes - for those 2 hrs we were definitely not on this planet and not in any reality we knew. N probably the single most happiest soul on earth. Almost all 25000 of us. Whether we were a fan, or just a random raver who'd just come for a good time. That's something that surprised me. I always thought it would be too much, too hardcore for the non-fans, the casual electronica listeners.. but yes.. they all were in glint that night.<br />
 <br />
So coming back, yes, I always knew at the back of my mind even back in 2001 it would be the Chems who would stay my personal heros. Nothing really substantial against the Prodigy - I worship the genius of Liam Howlett even today (hear the dirtchamber sessions to know what I'm talking if you don't already know the gold mix)- the 2nd biggest brain after Tom n Ed in electronic music, right up there with the psychdelic and mad production genius of Norman Cook - the man who gave us the most mindbending of records in history - You've Come A Long Way Baby. I am one of those fans who stayed with Norman through his new avatars - I loved Palookaville and respected him for what he'd evolved into. Loved that record unlike most ole skool fans. But live Norman was always a much tamer, happier, hippier experience - I'm not talking his psycho funky underground mix sets from back in the day - I'm talking the more commercial brighton and big beach boutiques - the 3 lac people on the beach raves - those live sets were always far away from his insane psychedelic very twisted monster studio records - live for him was about smileys, fans jumping, ladies showing titties, drunk and e-fueled fans climbing high poles, basically everyone just losing it having a great time. Mad respect to the man for going that way live too. He didn't choose to fuck his fans and turn them into brain salads live, even though he's as twisted as they come.. but rather have happy jumpy Xtatic times.. the more casual hippy ravers.. u didn't have to be a psycho fatboy fan to still have the best rave of your life at his gigs - yes - if that didn't make your booty move, your booty must have been dead. You could always spin one of his studio records in the confines of your room sitting smack bang centre in the middle of the speakers to experience your brain turning into jelly as he mad produced and panned those crazy motherfucking sounds on his epic records. That's if you were a hardcore fatboy fan -but if you weren't you could still go shake your ass at his gigs and look back at it as the best rave of your life. Yes I look forward to seeing Norman live someday soon. It will truly be a mad happy experience.<br />
 <br />
Daft Punk - yes - geniuses but always been withering on funny grounds -pseudo experimental - sometimes hitting some right notes, but mostly bum ones lately. Tron had one good song honestly. They were mad live for me back during the Alive 97 days - I'm sure they still are..To be very honest I've never followed their live stuff so hardcore - I respect them for the musical geniuses they are, but never reverred them (as people and live musicians) like my other top 3 or 4 ..though they are also definitely considered a complete mad live act.<br />
For me the personal touch was missing. Blame the helmets? Maybe not. Yes they wrote two of my favourite studio albums of the time, own every cd they've put out, almost every mix (I actually liked Human After All also quite a bit - some great tracks, not a great record) and I'd still give half an arm to see them live once - but frankly I lost the respect somewhere along the line many years back. I was honestly never much into Orbital - i did casually flirt with their records just a few years back, liked a couple but was more a Chems boy always. They were ahead of Orbital in the same kinda sphere. I may be off here. Late to the party, but the new album has blown me away so you never know i may dig in to the old stuff again, but I'm honestly past that stage to go back to dated records. But I'd still go seem them for their live set if they come anywhere close to me.  Same with Underworld - wasn't exposed to their stuff at the right time.. except some obviously great remixes of the Chems ( a couple really) and of course THE Born Slippy. Thanks to Trainspotting primarily. Monster track no question. Again I blame lack of exposure. I was discovering all my dance music (we didn't even call it dance music back then cause we never danced to it!) on my own with my best buddy and flatmate - we never knew any people into this music in this town - everyone heard metal or turned to psytrance when they crossed over. There was no internet back then to download music, and we had to spend big bucks to source the stuff we did find from foreign shores. No record stores sold our kinda stuff. People laughed at us for selling out and listening to techno. So who are your favourite live acts today in 2012 if you were an original big beater? If big drums were religion? Even if breaking those beats is almost dead and those bands have evolved into something else today.<br />
 <br />
I'm sure it's still the Chems for me - will always be - in a league of their own - THE MAD SCIENTISTS (I was always a geek), the baaps of acid house, the original cross over artists (like Fatboy said in his famous interview - "we were all mildly flirting with rock n roll - they took it and shoved it up it's own ass);<br />
 <br />
And then there are the others - some insane live acts who've done really well, unlike my original predictions that they would die out in the long run.. I'm glad they're all still around and kicking ass.. and have big fan followings and their own iconic gigs. But what's the way forward for us ole skoolers, the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel - I see hope in some new live acts like Holy Fuck and some relatively new though not new - like a Phoenix (borderline psy electronica tho mostly still rock), Air have lost it for me, where did the FreeStylers go?, Plump DJs who? Krafty Kuts?  I like the last Crystal Meth a lot after their mid career clunkers, but most folks don't - is the future really all wobble bass, blips n bleeps and "minimal"? The Trentemollers and the Deadmau5'? the Skillrex'? I saw Chase n Status live and I loved the act - amazing band - but no - honestly they're nowhere close to the above Gods we talk about. Almost same with Pendulum. I personally love them, but the last album was almost meh. Yes they're massive commercially because of the stupendous live act- bigger than and prolly the new Prodigy. Any reccos you brothers got for me or is electronic psychedelia in it's true mad mindbending glory really dying, and people are happier shaking their asses in garage clubs to the new "proggy" minimal trends; maybe some spinnin these records a wee bit at home, but are fans really worshipping these musicians like the icons of our time anymore? Has digital production and bastardization of the music creation process really killed the icons, the real game changers, the stadium fillers, the reverands? Dumbed out music creation and listening? Are there still bands out there emerging I'm not aware of, catering to fans like me who once loved mighty mindbenders like a Pink Floyd.. for making music that ceased to being just music at some point, and became portals to different alternate universes, just soundtracks to a mad journey inside, or outside? A spiriitual "trip" (sometimes happy and blindingly bright, sometimes very dark and scary, but yet always illuminating and enriching at the end)? Is this the past already?]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Don't Think Showing Review]]></title>
		<link>http://forum.thechemicalbrothers.com/index.php?/topic/9138-dont-think-showing-review/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[So I don't know if anyone noticed on Facebook and Twitter, that Lincoln Hall in Chicago showed "Don't Think" and bumped the shit out of it on their massively beautiful sound system.... Well, here's my experience. <br />
<br />
I arrived a few minutes late, but could hear the bass when I walked in the door. Lincoln Hall is a beautiful venue that is a renovated movie theater. So you walk into a separate bar area. They were playing the film on TVs, and Do It Again was playing. I busted inside and ordered a Cuervo and Tonic. Immediately noticing the quality of the sound. <br />
<br />
I've been listening to the CD version all week long, and I almost began to forget about all the little edits. The shrinking of songs etc.... <br />
<br />
I won't be too wordy, because we've all seen the film and heard the CD, but hearing it in a concert venue was absolutely far beyond seeing it in the movie theaters. It sounded fucking incredible. <br />
<br />
The CD quality is very enjoyable, but it's clear when you step into a place bumping the sound the way Lincoln Hall was, that the Brothers put all of their focus into the film audio. <br />
<br />
I got the traditional chills and the occasional teary eyes during the screening. And I didn't run into any trashcans. <br />
<br />
It begs the question, as hard as it would've been to execute, should that first initial launch that was only in one theater in major cities, should've been done at small concert venues where you were allowed to dance, and had to REALLY speak over the sound? <br />
<br />
Regardless, if you know a friend that works at a concert venue with a projector, I think your goal should be convincing the owners to show the film.  <br />
<br />
God it feels good to be a Brother.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, while we await further news from The Chemical Brothers, I ask you: <em class='bbc'>How do you organize your music?</em><br />
<br />
I know that it's a dumb question, but many people has a strict way to order his music and it's nice to share our ways.<br />
<br />
My cds collection it's sorted by alphabetical name of the band and year that the cd was released.<br />
<br />
And my "virtual" collection it's sorted by: D:&#092;Music&#092;Genere&#092;Artist&#092;(year)Album&#092;xx.Song<br />
<br />
Normal style?<br />
<br />

		<title>Bad Audio Don´t Think Cd !</title>
		<link>http://forum.thechemicalbrothers.com/index.php?/topic/9133-bad-audio-don%c2%b4t-think-cd/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Folks,<br />
I am a little bit confused with the new release Don´t think. I bought the DVD+CD. Saw the film 3times now and it is excellent in picture and audio.<br />
But today I put the CD on my iPOD and listened to it over and over. I can not loose the feeling that it is not stereo audio !  First I thought there was something wrong with my iPOD or the headphones. So I listened to it on other CD players and speakers, used a second headphone. Finally I sampled a few tracks just to see the wave file and listen to the channels seperatly.  <br />
<br />
It is definitely not true stereo. I am really confused and listened to older live recordings of the brothers, but never found such a bad quality.<br />
I am true fan of their music and I have every release, so I don´t want to blame anybody. But maybe it is possible that the audio on the CD is damaged and other buyers have the same problem ?<br />
<br />
Maybe someone can help? Maybe someone forwards this matter to Tom and Ed and they have a listen to the CD.<br />
Can be a production problem of the CD itself.<br />
Thanx for any reply.<br />
Ralf from Germany]]></description>

It's time we decided... what is the absolute worst Chems mashup out there?

This track started the nonsense.

Mighty Mike's magic has led people to wonder "what would possess someone to mash those up", and fans everywhere have said that he should "be burned", "be thrown to the ground", and "go fuck a goat".<br />

A bizarre, out of nowhere merger between the banger Don't Think and the completely-fine-on-it's-own Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi. As Probass said, "The acapella is mixed in way too loud, and the editing near the end was just weird. As much as I love that crazy rising sound, it really is TOO MUCH to repeat that part a second time. And where is Bon Jovi at the end? Yup, I don't get this at all. Terrible."<br />

<span style='font-size: 15px;'><strong class='bbc'>3. Swoon + Terrible Rapping</strong></span>:<br />
the SLK one is gone, but here's Dizzee Rascal (they're pretty much the same thing): <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHXRFwTcF1M' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHXRFwTcF1M</a><br />
<br />
These mashups are extremely similar, so I've put them together. I can't understand where it comes from, but there's so much appeal for a spitting rap acapella on Swoon that it not only inspired three mixes (there's a mashup with Left Right out there too), it "stole my﻿ idea of rapping over swoon...i hate you lol joking you can be my producer <img src='http://forum.thechemicalbrothers.com/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_e_wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> x" <br />

The video was taken down, just play Another World and One More Time in different players at the same time.<br />
<br />
Speaks for itself. But in case it doesn't, here are a few impressions from our lovely forum members:<br />
<br />
"Is that for real? That is terrible!"<br />
"its like they opened audacity and placed both songs it, exported as wav, went into windows movie maker, put the first chemical brothers picture they could find on google, exported as avi, went to youtube and uploaded<br />
not once did they listen"<br />
- "I wouldn't say 'they', chances are that the person who did that was alone, so it's more 'he' or 'she'...<br />
Wait, no ! A human being couldn't do something like that...so it's more likely to be an 'it'. My vote goes for a banana!"<br />
- "HAHAHAHA ROFL<br />
Holy shit, I made it through 1:44 of that before I had to stop due to laughing so hard. Hey guys, I'm going to go the clubs, give that to a DJ. ?????? PROFIT!"<br />
- "If your two options were<br />
1. Suicide<br />
2. Mashup<br />
then you have made the wrong choice."<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 15px;'><strong class='bbc'>5. Don't Think Technologic</strong></span>:<br />
<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMZWURxC92U' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMZWURxC92U</a><br />
<br />
Yes, it's the Technologic acapella over Don't Think, and yes, it's obnoxious. What can I say, the two go together like "peanut butter and [fighting the strong urge to swear at this point] jelly!"<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 15px;'><strong class='bbc'>6. Midnight Madness vs Wait And Bleed</strong></span>: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxdvO95Jud4' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxdvO95Jud4</a><br />
<br />
Sensible, logical people realize that screamo and 4/4 electronica are two genres that will never go well together. But music pioneer and hero Goose saught to suceeed where all else had failed. His mix, which took ages to finish, broke ground. The incredible technique of filtering a Slipknot song really poorly and sort of placing it on top of the dance song Midnight Madness with no editing or syncing what-so-ever cemented Goose's spot in music history and set the floor on fire in clubs worldwide.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 15px;'><strong class='bbc'>7. Hey Boy Electro Cardiogramm</strong></span>: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRNxg8W44is' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRNxg8W44is</a><br />
<br />
If you have to kill the power of Hey Boy Hey Girl, ruin the atmosphere of Elektrokardiogramm, and create, in general, audible soup, to put together your mashup, you may want to go home and rethink your life.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 15px;'><strong class='bbc'>8. Big Bros Don't Cry</strong></span>: <a href='http://grooveshark.com/album/Block+Rockin+Boots+Part+1/4524428' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://grooveshark.com/album/Block+Rockin+Boots+Part+1/4524428</a><br />
<br />
If you have to eliminate every part of Setting Sun that's good, erase the only redeeming qualities of Big Girls Don't Cry, and create, in general, a sound I imagine would be similar to torturing small down's syndrome children with a chainsaw, with a migrane, to put together your mashup, you may want to go home and rethink your life.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 15px;'><strong class='bbc'>9. We're All Stress-A-Delik</strong></span>: <a href='http://grooveshark.com/#!/search/song?q=The+Illuminoids+We%27re+All+Stress-A-Delik+(USB+Booji+Star+Boy+Dick+Mix)' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://grooveshark.com/#!/search/song?q=The+Illuminoids+We're+All+Stress-A-Delik+(USB+Booji+Star+Boy+Dick+Mix)</a><br />
<br />
It's impossible to explain what happened here. My best guess is that is was put together under the same philosophy as "If I like mushroom pizza, and chocolate ice-cream, and spicy tacos, and Sour Patch Kids, and asparagus, then I should LOVE the taste of all of them at once!"<br />
<br />
If I missed any, or if there's others you want added, please, please post. And remember, only three votes!]]></description>
