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.
Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track
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.

alistair a couple lol
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 ProdigyBasement 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.
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!
A lol for Dave!
Carl Cox dropped that on the old Space terrace.
TRU FAX.
alistair 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
LCD Soundsystem peaked 15 years ago!
Jon Hopkins has nowhere near the same mainstream appeal and size of hits as the likes of Underworld/Prodigy/Chemical Brothers etc.
Rival Consoles are also not comparable at all.
