Topic Chemical Brothers

[Justiceforcedave]

The Chemical Brothers in 2011 helped be to reaffirm something I think I always knew....I'll always be slightly disappointed with an electronic/dance headliner.

Fun yes, but they'll never beat a good live band for me.

I don't think anyone there cares about how good they are live at the time.

We'd may as well merge the two threads.

I feel the exact opposite. I love a live band but my preference is to finish the night off with a dance act - though ideally they'd be a sort of post headliner chems after after say Bowie would be the absolute dream. In 2011 they were my favourite headliner.

Alternatively, Hot Chip on West Holts - best of both worlds.

Best act I've seen at Glastonbury, twice

I think they're the only act I've seen at Glastonbury twice, very probably soon to be three times.

Watching don't think, what a set! ....can't miss Chems can I? Major clash of interstes going on

[Franky]

Ok so don't shoot me ! But I have only just got around to listening to Further, don't ask me how this got by me because I don't know. Having seen them twice at Glasto 04,07 and growing up listening to their music I have no idea how I missed this.

I will now say this though,

WOW ! Possibly their best album. I had mentally pushed them to one side having already seen them twice at Glasto and was going to watch something a little more unusual for me but I think they may just have sucked me back in!

Will they be Sat or Sun do we think?

We are being led to beleive it's Sunday.

[Franky]

So it's definitely Sunday night then if Ben Howard is Saturday night.

What are expecting from "Go" tonight, then?

the sample on facebook is promising.

Liked it. Not amazing but a solid effort again. Wonder if that one will be played live, be interesting to see how it would work in the live show.

New single here. I like it, probably prefer it to Sometimes I Feel So Deserted.

[Zero_Newnab]

I'm giving "Go" my first listen now. I like it!

seems to be getting positive comments on social media. I'm not keen on the synth sound in it but love the bass and Q tip.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

i like most the tune but that chorus is poxy.

[Spindles]

On first listen it's a great track, I reckon. I was distinctly underwhelmed with the previously released track.

[madbrain]

Deffo chem brothers missed there last glasto are they deffo on sunday please say yaaaaaaaaa

[DJL]

Yeah that's a belter. I agree the early bit of chorus is the bit i like least but yeah this will be a good addition to the setlist...

[FloorFiller]

yeah, not their best, but it's pretty good. agree about being interested to see if it's played live - not your typical big Chemical Brothers banger

[DJL]

'Everybody jumpin' outta their mind, everybody going outta their skins'. Yeah that's basically written to be played in a field.

[Mezhyp1]

Definitely prefer Sometimes I Feel So Deserted, but a quick date with Madame Mandy before and that'll be absolutely grooving

[Franky]

Hmmmmm I didn't think it was that good. It also reminded me why I hate music videos.

[JayBalls]

Just had a listen, didn't think it was bad, would sound better tumped out at a few more watts I bet

[tweed1981]

I like it and sometimes i feel so deserted, I think with the visuals it will look/sound amazing at glastonbury. i have just been watching youtube vids of 2011 and I absolutely cannot wait

[Spindles]

Had an evening of the chems to see if it would entice me towards checking them out. Still very much a 50/50 act for me, but there's no denying they have some great tunes under their belt. I just wonder if my personal favourites would be the ones they'd be playing live, really (The test, golden path being among them)
