The Chemical Brothers

UK first press 2002. Record plays EX. Sleeve EX.
This is electronic music doing absolutely loads while pretending it’s doing very little. One loop patiently going about its business slowly rearranging your brain without asking permission. Hypnotic warm and weirdly emotional like staring out a train window and convincing yourself everything is connected. You think nothing’s happening and then five minutes later you’re fully locked in nodding along like you’ve solved something important. Minimalist sorcery from two lads who knew exactly when to stop touching the knobs. Still perfect still sneaks up on people every time. Class. FFO Hypnotic techno, progressive house with restraint, late night headphone moments, records that make standing still feel productive
