  • Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track

From Wikipedia

During the 1980s, members of the moderate wing of the British Conservative Party who opposed some of the more hard-line prog of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and listened to the Chemical Brothers were often referred to by their opponents as “wets”.

Heno agreed in a big way. One of my all time favs and biggest influences.

        alistair Think he was on early so played to about 20 people because of the dire management of it all and most people queuing for hours.

          Do like some of the Chems tracks, but never enjoyed them live. Their dj mixes were good though.

          Heno have you ever heard of Leftfield?

          Saturday Night was a belter.

              Dan Looking forward to the Leftfield thread….

              Oh right, we’re already doing the ‘Chemical Brothers are not a patch on Leftfield’ thing, I see.

              Like Take That and East 17 fans circa 1993.

              For the record, Release the Pressure (again, on a massive system for full room-shaking effect).

                  Elon Hello and thank you for this wonderful discussion. There are some very interesting opinions being shared. I am surprised that no one has mentioned Dj Sasha and John Digweed yet. Maybe they are a bit underground for many of you, but I really think they deserve to be in the conversation. I really enjoy listening to their hit song Pushing Too Hard while unwinding after a long day at the office.

                  With that being said, I would like to take this time to announce that I am rescinding my offer to purchase jaded-clubbers.com. After repeated inquests, I have still not been satisfied with an explanation as to why a Matt Smith currently controls 37 different account names. As such, my legal team has contacted the board, and informed them of our intent to withdraw. Any attempt to withhold our initial good faith deposit will be met in court.

                  Thank you again for all of your candor and I look forward to speaking with you all soon!

                    Album wise, it has to be Dig Your Own Hole.

                    Also, goes without saying millsy - Daft Punk > Chems.

                    Adamski was good live back in the day as was guru Josh.

                      Are we just naming electronic bands now?

                      Homegrove, can you start a Metallica thread, and we’ll just name all the other hard rock acts we can think of?
