The Chemical Brothers 2019

[Wooderson]

Best record? Dig. 

Best track? Psych Reel.

Ace to see live? Escape Velocity.

Mega deep cut? Morning Lemon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They did a Sunday Social recreation night a couple of weeks back and here's a Best endeavours stab at playlisting the setlist.

Warning: contains "big" beats

[CaledonianGonzo]

And the Mighty Hard Rocker still sounds ???

That was my position, but I listened to surrender again for the first time in ages and loved it more than I remembered.

Ah man, both ‘bug powder dust’ and ‘renegade soundwave’ are songs i haven’t heard in donkeys years, and both superb. And ‘weekender’ was absolutely formative for me

Oh, the rsw is that cack-handed leftfield mix. No, no, no. Stick with the original

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's the original dope beat though. 

Remember this banger?

Love Free yourself , just can imagine the crowd going wild when the vocals shout dance 

That bit just sounds like millions of pidgeons to me. I can't seem to get into this album at all despite multiple listens.

If you haven't seen them before, the Chems' live set is fairly mind-blowing.

[barkley87]

Sorry if this has already been asked, but are the chems in the prodigy's slot? If so I might go to it in the hope they'll do a it of a tribute.

Think Prodigy would have been Friday night myself. 

[Homer]

Nah, they were both booked already by the look of it.

[fatyeti24]

You'd have to assume the Prodigy were booked as well.  I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Chems - and many others - pay tribute to Keith over the weekend.

The first time I ever heard of The Chems was seeing them supporting The Prodge in 95, so it is possible. They did remixes for them too didn't they?

I was very lucky and got two in the coach sale on Thurs thanks! Going to Nos Alive so seeing the Chems twice (same with The Cure). The wife is going to see All Points East and claiming the hat trick! I'm trusting you're sorted?

Ah great news.  We were sorted 6 months ago thankfully, but so many have missed out this year.  

Looking forward to the Chems though, seen 'em umpteen times over the years and never get bored of 'em

Thanks! Yeah, it's been a tough year! We managed to get most sorted in the end (about 15 to 20 of us). Four missed out though sadly! 

[Homer]

Nice remix!

[barkley87]

Thanks for answering me everyone! I'll probably head over to the Chems anyway. It's either them or the new Arcadia show.

Go to Arcadia on Thursday night. They do an unannounced dress rehearsal on Thursday every year. I go every year. it's a great way to catch the show clash-free!
