The Chemical Brothers - Born in the Echoes (2015)

1. Chemical Beats
2. Star Guitar
3. It Doesn't Matter
4. Hey Boy Hey Girl
5. Where Do I Begin?

A really solid list. I'd swap the last for "Life is Sweet" or "Loops of Fury" or "Elektrobank" maybe.

yeah that is a very difficult-to-argue-with top 5

shout-out to "The Private Psychedelic Reel", "Setting Sun", "Galaxy Bounce", "The Test" tho

Go is terrible

giving "further" a listen now ... yeah, this is pretty good. hearty IRL LOLs when the horse came in on "horse power"

my top 5 would have to include "it began in afrika"

their DJ set still sound pretty damn good too

"brothers gonna work it out" still sounds pretty damn awesome but "live at the social vol 1" and "in glint" are even better

"in glint" especially good

a lot of this new album sounds like dig your own hole b-sides. and that is a very good thing.

speaking of b-sides, has anybody heard this?!?

YES...that got me too

BTW if you don't have the live album Don't Think you really really need it, it's to the Chems what Everything, Everything is to Underworld

The bonus compilation disc of all the Electronic Battle Weapons is better than any of their albums since the 90s.

yeah i was listening to it yesterday and thinking same

So I had never listened to the Chemical Brothers much, really only knowing their 90s radio hits (and honestly not really liking those hits that much), but I listened to this and "No Geography" recently and have become a bit obsessed with EML Ritual. What a catchy beat on this track.
