I came upon this while surfing the web today..Dont know it is a real chemical brothers b-side cover or not. But when I saw it, I was shocked to see the nature of the cover. We should investigate if it is real, or some other bands cover...

Dammit, http://www.thisboyis...d-chemical.php. Check this site out...

Sorry again, http://www.thisboyistoast.nu. Then look for Chemical Brothers Surrender under the CD section...

Dat's a Kool Kover.

Dat's a fucked up Kover

I dont like it. I was wondering if its another group called the Chemical Bros. or just a unreleased cover????











What does a naked chick that looks dead have to do with the feeling of surrender? And furthermore, the reveiw is odd, why does he say he likes the 'dirty, hardcore' sound of this album? It is a melodic and amazing CD.

Maybe he has confused it with some other album. i think that's his own art not the officical chem bro art. There is no other band called Chemical Brothers.

The guy who made the site is obviously confused.

I like the cover. Not for a Chems album, but it's good on its own

""Dirty. I like dirty, always have. Grunge. Smudgy. This image comes from the online PDF artmag, Beast.""



""As for the Brothers themselves, they have the sense of dirty techno that I like. Its not clean, attractive music but sometimes grating and smudged.""





It seems that some of the 'covers' for these records are either original artwork by fans or artwork taken from other sources - not the actual sleeves. The Primal Scream cover is way off as is Surrender. I'll have to look more at the website and check out the artwork and see where the sources come from. As for the image on Surrender, I would like it more if it were out of the Surrender context. The faceless woman doesn't really depict the overall sense of the record which is joyful and melodic and high energy. Then again art is up for interpretation, maybe the reviewer in his own way had the image in mind when he listened to it. The image however, would go nicely on a Ministry record I suppose.



The description of Surrender is a bit strange. Dirty and grungy would be the last words I would use to describe it but that's just me. To me Surrender is the complete opposite, it's smooth polished and streamlined. Maybe the commentator got mixed up between Dig and Surrender.

I would agree with everything you just typed Whirly.

The only other record on there that I have is Air-Moon Safari. First, I think surrender hit the nail on the head (to say in low-brow american metaphore-banter) for finding a good album cover. It just has a real classic album look. My guess is yeah that guy made the pictures, maybe to avoid trouble with taking the real album pictures. Or just his/her interpretation of the albums

Surrender = Grunge

ha ... :-D it's a joke.

Surrender is a very professional album with nice soothing,party songs.
