New Chemical Brothers

[Mike]

Hi all,

Did everyone catch the new Chemical Brothers tracks on Pete Tong's Essential Selection last night? Exclusive plays of EBW8 & EBW9... You should be able to hear it on the listen again feature on bbc.co.uk/radio1 - EBW8 is 78 mins in and i think 9 is about 90 mins in...

I really liked the Battle Weapon 8 - very dirty sounding, lots of bass and breaks, i also liked Battle Weapon 9 so much but i need a few more listens to make a better judgement

Anyone isolated an mp3 from that Real stream? I can't play it on my browser or whatever. If not, oh well.

That would be aces! i scoured the internet for rips, but no luck. i too am missing a plug-in or something. Maybe will try it out on another machine?

Anyone remember the other EBW's and what became of them?

EBW1: essentially "It Doesn't Matter", plus some squiggly acid noises
EBW2: version of "Get Up on it like this"
EBW3: "Under the Influence"
EBW4: "Freak of the Week" (B side, on American EP, and really kickin!)
EBW5: "It began in Afrika"
EBW6: version of "Hoops"
EBW7: "Acid Children" (B side to Galvanize)

here's a link to just the two tracks - and not the whole program

change the "XX" to "tt"


(edit)
I thought that EBW2 was Don’t Stop the Rock?

That's what discogs.com says.

Those two tracks (DSTR + GUOILT) seem like one track almost to me on the album.

right you are, sorry guys! i also think of them as one in the same track!

Thanks for isolating these new ones! I'm really enjoying the build-up and tear-down of #8. Sounds very epic when the rock drums and background synths kick in...perhaps a vocal might go on top of this?
#9: insane acid, this! Reminds me a bit of their 1999 B-side "Flashback", with the many layers and distorted vocal. The whispering low in the mix is very spooky. Not much harmony here, just a lot of space sounds over an electro bassline, but it would sound awesome in a club, inho!

Thanks for the link! I enjoyed BW8 and am going through BW9 now...
