From Facebook update:

Following their fifth consecutive number 1 album last year, the Grammy award winning ‘We Are The Night’, The Chemical Brothers return with ‘Brotherhood’ a best of collection with a kick and a twist, set for release on 1st September 2008.

The Chemical Brothers have established themselves as true pioneers of electronic music and have become one of the most popular dance acts of all time. Now seems the perfect time to take stock of their seminal output with the double disc celebration that is Brotherhood.

Brotherhood comprises of 2 discs, the first is a collection of 13 undeniable benchmark Singles from the band's immense back catalogue and new track ‘Keep My Composure’ which features the shimmering flow of Baltimore’s Spank Rock.

The 2nd will feature exclusively Electronic Battle Weapons 1-10. Since 1996 Electronic Battle Weapons have acted as the laboratories for The Chems devious musical experiments and laid the rhythmic and melodic foundations for numerous tracks as well as providing some of the duos most formidable mixes. Until now Electronic Battle Weapons 1-9 have only been available on various limited formats and this is the first time they have been widely available.

Brotherhood will be preceded by the digital download single Midnight Madness on 4th August 2008. Derived and developed from Electronic Battle Weapons 10, Midnight Madness is The Chemical Brothers at their most infectious, euphoric, report to the dancefloor best.

EBW10 is doing the rounds already.

Think Pete Tong aired it for the first time last Friday.

Having said that, I ain't heard it yet. :shrug:

Pete Tong! :laugh:

Is he still deemed credible at his age, he must be mid 40's now.

Are the Chemical brothers credible? Tried to listen them a few times and was astonishing unmoved. One of them also fired one up Lily Allen recently

Dunno. I just said he played it on Friday. He's been doing the Essential Selection for years now.

Or should they stick on a younger person to pick the tuenage? (Er, who would probably still stick on EBW10 as these things are generally quite widely anticipated).

What! Another compliation?

Isn't the Singles 1993-2003 album fairly recent enough?

Couldn't they just release a comp of EBW tracks?

So you won't be buying it then, or go to any dates on any accompanying tour?

Exactly! It's not how old you are, it's where your heart and soul are at. Age shouldn't come into it in the 21st century; I thought we were moving past all of that.

Heard 'Midnight Madness' loads on radio, and it's not the best single they've ever done. Sounds a bit too bleepy for me.

The Electronic Battle Weapon 01, 02.....10. Are good.
