  • Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track

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.

    Smallman1 If you go back through this thread, it’s mainly the loosers in life who don’t like them, Millsy, Zackster etc etc.

    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:
            Tricky - Maxinquaye
            Radiohead - The Bends
            Pulp - Different Class
            PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
            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
            Leftfield – Leftism
            Raekwon – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
            Genius/GZA – Liquid Swords
            Sonic Youth – Washing Machine
            Stereolab – Music For The Amorphous Body Study Center
            Bjork – Post
            The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
            Neil Young – Mirrorball
            Bomb The Bass – Clear

            Probably loads more too

                bosstrabs a lot a great albums there

                Would add Aphex Twin …I care because you do

                  No Eternal - Power of a Woman in there.

                  A huge faux pas, sold over 2 million worldwide.

                    Dan Heard Blocko play the Father’s of Sound remix of said track.

                    Yes SD!

                        alistair Can you name the track (no googling) which it samples?

                          bosstrabs The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness

                          Bloated nonsense compared to the two brilliant albums before it.

                          bosstrabs Genius/GZA – Liquid Swords

                          Overrated.

                          bosstrabs Pulp - Different Class

                          Really?

                          bosstrabs Tricky - Maxinquaye

                          Underrated.

                                    Amps Yeah, but I can’t somehow magically transport Siamese Dream to 1995 can I?

                                    I still reckon it would be difficult to come up with a year that tops 1995 for music.

                                    I haven’t even included What’s The Story Morning Glory and various others that many people rate but I think are dogshit.

                                      Supporting my thesis of ’95 being a high point for music:
                                      *NB, just to be clear, I don’t rate all these albums, but some people highly rate albums on this list.
