After a couple so-so releases (Push The Button, We Are The Night), my faith in the Chems was restored with last year's "Further". Definitely a growth album, full of ideas and proggy sounds and aside from unrecognized female vocalist, just Tom's vocals. No collaborations.

These snippets seem like logical continuation - the Chemical Brothers are aging gracefully and trying new things rather than pumping out the big beats of the 90's or the hip hop singles of the 00's.

"Hannas Theme" could be a backing track to anything on Further.
"Quayside Synthesis" evolves from organic percussion into a spooky organ-laden dance track.
"Container Park", the longest (full?) track here has a horror movie vibe, replete with windy shrieks, choir effects, reverb-heavy beats, and a very Orbitalesque bassline (reminds me a lot of "Meltdown" off The Altogether), not to mention more builds and stops than a track ought to legally have!

a bit off topic...

but - do you think the reason why "Further" sounds the way it does, is because predominantly the only reason why people bought "Brotherhood" was because of the "Electronic Battle Weapons"?

Is this what the Daft Punk Tron soundtrack should have sounded like?

That could be...also WATN didn't really have a big single, so maybe they wanted to quit while they were ahead (in a manner of speaking)

i'll be buying a physical copy of this for sure.
i have a feeling their next album is going to be a monster.

Listened to the stream - great stuff! A fair share of interludes, but the fuller tracks are awe--- wait for it -- some!

Yes, i agree that Brotherhood was a worthless rehash that i didn't purchase, not even for the Electronic Battle Weapons. "Come With Us" was the last worthy album till "Further", in my opinion. Whether the Chems got that sense as well, or if they;ve genuinely evolved, i don't care- the music is better now!

Very good soundtrack overall, it fits many moods.
