We are the Night

review - bought this Chemical Bros CD a little while ago - i was impressed with the astronomy themes - in both the artwork and some pieces/ the cd book is all astro themes - with what looks to be made up constellations star charts - lol
I'm not a big techno fan overall, more a blues - prog/jazz rock guy - it seems more novelty/digital purity sensory BIG fun like a showride (uploud on good system or live! which i have done once) than anything else, not highly cerebral! leave brain behind just need to be of the human strain - but i have always had a softspot for the mainstream crossover act chem bros, and some others. But they have never done anything as good as 'dig your own hole' from the 90's IMO. i liked 'push the button' last album before this.

while this album isnt the greatest ever by them by any stretch of the imagination, and its certainly no 'must have' album - it is very retro (warm analogue synths in the mix - juno 6's & 8's ect.) in some ways - anyway i get bored of these type of albums so new stuff now and then doesnt hurt.
thought it was worth a mention just the same

cool site love the astro theme
