Scuba definitely needs to have a manta-man talk about that album.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this… the Chem’s remix of Spiritualised… fucking immense

Reading Festival 1999.
17 year old me was ripped a new one by Atari Teenage Riot, Roni Size, Breakbeat Era, u-ziq and The Chemical Brothers.

So it all started with them. I was front row when they dropped The Sunshine Underground and It Doesn’t Matter.

Great gateway, and they still know how to make a great tune and have stuck to their guns.

Also, Digweed dropped Star Guitar in his encore on Sunday night and it’s still a belting tune

If you go back through this thread, it’s mainly the loosers in life who don’t like them, Millsy, Zackster etc etc.

    Star Guitar and Afrika are the only original Chems tracks I play. Star Guitar is their stand out for me. Most of the other stuff is guff to me. Remixes on the other hand…

    Smallman1 you’ll listen to, wear or pay hunky gypsy builders for any old shite, so you know, do one.

      Here’s 3 live electronic bands who shit all over the chems.

      Leftfield
      Orbital
      Underworld
      And another newcomer
      Bicep

      The chems were wank at V festival early 2000s. Luckily Orbital came on and destroyed the place after but for an hour or so the dance tent was bolloxed. Just a load of student types whooping to it. Only time I’ve seen them Tbf but once was well enough. Star Guitar Heller remix is boss and I did actually quite like Out of control remix by the bald one but it aged baaaaadly.

      Stu thinks the Chems are gabber whilst I understand they are music for babies. 🤝

        I thought you hated Bicep Derm?

        Music for bedwetters or something like that?

        More lies?!

          Smallman1 i was disappointed to see him big up them, however saying someone is better than the Chems is hardly a ringing endorsement. Same could be said of Basement Jaxx for example.

              Think Derm’s just trying to look contemporary on the basis that his last night out was to see Sasha in Blackburn in 1985.

              jonattonyeah 1997 was a pretty exceptional year for albums. Dig Your Own Hole, Fat Of The Land, New Forms, Homework, Colours, Modus Operandi, Orblivion, ESCM…

              And that’s not even getting into the likes of OK Computer, Bricolage, Life After Death, et cetera.

              1995 was the best year in my lifetime for music:

              Pulp - Different Class

              Goldie - Timeless
              Rocket From The Crypt – Hot Charity
              Pavement – Wowee Zowee
              The Verve – A Northern Soul
              The Charlatans – The Charlatans
              Garbage – Garbage
              The Chemical Brothers – Exit Planet Dust
              Spiritualized Electric Mainline – Pure Phase
              Massive Attack V Mad Professor – No Protection
              Money Mark – Mark’s Keyboard Repair
              Wagon Christ – Throbbing Pouch
