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 14 undeniable benchmark Singles from the bands immense back catalogue and new tracks 'Keep My Composure' plus the brand new single 'Midnight Madness'.
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 18th of August. Derived and developed from Electronic Battle Weapon 10 Midnight Madness is The Chemical Brothers at their most infectious, euphoric, report-to-the-dancefloor best.
