So, with a more "underground" album like that, getting to the top of the charts again is likely to be more difficult. Assuming that "Last Track", "Remember to fall in love", "After Sunglasses" and "Crazy Cowbells" will be on the album, which one would you see best as the first single ?

"Remember to fall in love" is the best candidate IMO, it's the most "mainstream" track, while the others are stomping techno tracks. I even think it's a potential #1.
It would be surfing on the retro-80s-synth-pop wave that Gorillaz just initiated.

That seems to be exactly right. I'm definitely assuming, since it seems every song is going to be quite long, that the single will be released with a radio edit, and perhaps a b-side and/or remix.

I'm curious if the title for "Remember to Fall in Love", sticks. :idea:

I question if there will be a single release at all. This doesn't sound like your typical Chemical Brother album release where they would market individual songs. Of course I could be reading too much into this. But just something to think about.

I haven't been on here much lately, but may I ask where you've got all these track names from? Where have you heard them? And where can I hear them? lol

Heya Hubie - long time no see!

The names like 'Last Track', 'Crazy Cowbells' and 'After Sunglasses' are for new tunes that have been spotted in various dj sets throughout the year. Not official names, but nicknames that sort of stuck.

Remember To Fall In Love hasn't been an officially confirmed song title, but a clue from the Chembros Twitter. Champiness compiled a youtube set list of new Chems stuff. I'll see if I can dig it up since it's definitely worth reposting!

I think the same, maybe mp3 only releases or as we've seen today limited edition 12"s.

btw love the avatar Explud!

I'm hoping for a cd single. I thought WATN was bad with formatting, i'm getting a bad feeling about there being digital only stuff. Must think positive thoughts.
