  • Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track

Quality over quantity? Long before Leftism they had a massive back catalogue of excellent remixes. I think following up Leftism was a massive task and they tried a different direction/sound…..creatives differences prob made them split.

    Dan Quality over quantity?

    Exactly this. The amount of garbage THE CHEMS have released is extraordinary. It’s festival techno for NME wankers.

    Leftfield are in a different league entirely.

        Shall we all just start naming our all time top 5 GU albums and get this thread over with

        zackster The hierarchy of live British dance act duos, from the golden age, is as follows:
        Underworld
        The Orb
        FSOL
        Orbital
        The Prodigy

        Basement Jaxx
        The Chemical Bros.

        That, and this thread in general, reminds me - what the heck has happened to all the festival headlining dance acts?!

        In the current era you only really have at a stretch Bicep. It’s crap.

            Dubman just seen they are doing a tour this month. Kentish Forum on 25th

            I saw them at Royal Albert Hall in 1998. Was an epic gig, helped by some acid and getting stoned in the venue. Happy days

                hugopal Depends how broad your definition is. LCD Soundsystem and Jon Hopkins spring to mind but there are only a few. Far from a headline act but Rival Consoles are consistently good snd excellent live

                    How Groove Armada haven’t been mentioned yet is beyond me.

                      If we’re talking Brit duos, Maribou State probably sits on top for me in terms of the new gen.

                      If we’re talking Brit duos, how have these been overlooked?

                      Now PHATS what I SMALL music!

                        Carl Cox dropped that on the old Space terrace.
