Chemical Brothers
I first became aware of the Chemical Bros through Setting Sun, their collaboration with Noel Gallagher. I didn’t think much of it at first but then I heard Block Rockin’ Beats and Dig Our Own Hole. Needless to say I was amazed at this interesting mixture of rumbling bass, pulsating beats and some of the most bizarre sound effects I have ever heard in a song. I was sold – After all, it must a be a positive sign when you wander down the school hallway reciting the bass line from Dig Your own Hole (“Ba-na, Ba-da-da-da-da-da-ba-na.....”).
Best of all, the Chemical Brothers were something I got my brother into. (okay I may not be wholly responsible but I still take credit for it because) After all, it feels so good to give something back.
Key Album: Dig Your Own Hole (1997) Throughout the interest I had an interest in dance and electronic music and Dig Your Own Hole is it’s peak. There are some great tracks on this album but I had to put this here for the last track: The Private Psychedelic Reel. It's their best track hands down and no matter how many times I hear it, it's a still a rush to hear.
