Waiting for “wheres Spooky and Wow?!”
Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track
- Edited
The Chems and Underworld are still going strong and releasing decent music while the others are either mothballed or reliving past glories from 30 years ago to ever diminishing returns. Their back catalogues and live performances are on another level to the others on that list (with the exception of Prodigy up to FOTL)
The best thing The Prodigy have put out in 20 years is that Christophe D’Abuc Climbatize bootleg thingy. Utter shambles post FOTL.
I thought the Chems called it quits and only one of them was now flying the flag.
jonattonyeah but their first three albums were solid gold
“In October 1992, they pressed 500 white label copies [of Song of the Siren] and took them to various dance record shops around London, but none would play it, saying that it was too slow (the track played at 111 BPM). They sent a copy to London DJ Andrew Weatherall, who made it a permanent fixture in his DJ sets.”

Boss tune.
Chems are the band for Gen Xers who would say things like “I also like to listen to a bit of electronica. Have you heard any? Its quite good!”
The tune I put on when the lovelies arrive at the afters -
And for our American cousins, I am what’s known as extracting the Michael.
