“We wanted machines to sound as if they were sweaty, deranged and wild; things people associate with rock music” - Tom Rowlands, The Chemical Brothers

Following last year’s number 1, Grammy award winning album ‘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.

16 years, 10 million record sales and 5 consecutive number 1 albums and 4 Grammy awards would seem the perfect time to take stock of The Chemical Brothers’ heroic career but ‘Brotherhood’, the album that you are holding, makes no claims on being the definitive historical document of Tom and Ed’s career so far. It is not the time capsule version that will be left and dug up in centuries to come. No, ‘Brotherhood’ is defiantly the Friday night collection, 15 stone cold classics from Tom and Ed’s illustrious back catalogue, reinforced and fortified for the floor.

New tracks featured on Brotherhood ‘Midnight Madness’ and ‘Keep My Composure’, (featuring the shimmering flow of Baltimore’s Spank Rock) are classic Chemical Brothers, both sounding wholly timeless, startlingly original and completely different and appealing all at the same time

Alongside the 1st Disc Brotherhood will feature exclusively a second disc of 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. Previous EBWs have morphed into It Began in Afrika, Under the Influence and latterly Saturate. Until now Electronic Battle Weapons1-10 have only been available on various limited formats and this is the first time they have been widely released.

So this, then, is Brotherhood, The Chemical Brothers, out on the floor, totally in control. Here’s to sixteen more years. Here’s to the future.

The Chemical Brothers will be playing a sold out show at Olympia in what will be there biggest London show to date. This will be the first time any band has played this historic venue in ten years.
