The first time I heard a song was when I was lazy at home, watching MTV (yes, they once played music) and the host announced the video for the new single of The Chemical Brothers. Star Guitar, so it must've been in 2002. I wasn't into electronic music (in fact, I was even opposed to it, as in "it's not real music") so I didn't really like it. Fortunately, my taste in music changed.
I fell in love with their music at the end of 2009, although I can't remember a specific song. A colleague gave me his mp3-collection and soon after that I bought all records on CD. What I really regret is that I started to like their music just a few months after they played a DJ set here in Vienna.

Why the regrets? You like them now so that's what matters!
Although I think it would have been incredible to see and hear the evolution of The Chems from their earliest days until now, there is a big part of me that is content with having gotten into them when I did. It doesn't always have to be love at first listen - the music kind of wiggles its way into life again later on at just the right time when you are ready to really give a good solid listening.
I have fine memories from over the years but at the same time I am a bit envious of people who are getting a later start in discovering the Chemical Brothers. Between the albums, live shows, bootlegs of gigs there is so much to explore and dig into. Everything is new, even if it's old! There is no burnout. There is something sweet in that the newer people in the fold haven't had their minds jaded or hardened by time, haha

Well, I regret it because if I'd liked their music just a few months earlier, I'd have seen one of their DJ-Sets 
(These were the DJ sets where they played Escape Velocity and Don't Think before Further was released)
I might have to wait a few years to get this chance again. But yes, I like them now and have already seen them live in 2011. It still makes me smile just to think about that incredible concert

I am a reasonably new fan and I was saying the exact opposite not so long ago. How great it would have been to have followed them since the beginning and to witness their music evolve as it happened. To have that same feeling for each album that I had for Further would have been amazing.
But it is never too late to become a Chems fan.
Further Remixed There's nothing else...

I guess this whole 'chemical' thing started for me was 'Delik'. I remember buying a double CD called 'Trance Europe Express 4' (not to be confused with Kraftwerks' stuff) because I enjoyed 'trance' music at the time. I thought it was a 'trance album' but it wasn't. All of the tunes sucked except for 'Delik'. So going with that track, it led me to find the artist of the song by going to a near-by Warehouse Records, where i found the album 'EPD'. I've been a fan of the bros ever since!
