Well, I am used to listen to their albums from start to finish without skiping any songs. Sure there are some tracks that I like better than others but overall, I enjoy to listen to them all.
There's no point to lie :)

ditto here. I've never skipped or not liked a Chems song in their whole discog.. only recently Further didn't stay too long in my player (I did love it and do love it, but .. ) .. and for the first time I think Pleasure is a disappointment (though I'm not forming any opinions of future work based on a dj weapon).
But yeah, I've never not liked a Chems song. Even not less liked anything damn. It's like a Floyd record - you start it, you finish it.

No. If anything, it translates to 'I will follow Tom, no matter what.

Why can't he mean Pleasure? That's the track that caught a lot of peoples attention before it was released. Through Me barely got a mention prior to Erol playing it on BBC 6 Music.

My own little Glasto :mrgreen: We do it every year. We camp, get drunk and dance. I'm the DJ, that's why I started that "star gazing" thread for when it's late in the evening and we're sat looking at the stars with a naughty cigarette in hand. I don't actually DJ, too drunk for that, but I provide the songs and audio equipment.

Indeed, Mr., I do. And when I get the position, I'll force you to listen to Tom's Pleasure track 24/7/365.

Sounds nice. Just let Ableton do its job and get drunk. I suppose, that's what most of the djs do these days.

On a side note, I thought you gave up boozing after all these embarrassing moments you encountered over the years?

Most of the items at the camp site get destroyed by fire so a laptop is out of the question! I just take my old phone and plug it into a dock, we use a traffic cone (how cliché) to amplify the sound at night haha, it's the best we can do.

I don't drink very much at all any more, but on special occasions I like to have a good drink and this is the event I look forward to the most every year :D

I suppose I must be inept because I actually prefer Nothing but Pleasure to Through Me… It of course comes across a raw, unfinished piece but the tension just gets me moving; I feel that trying to build a more complex progression around the track would defile its singular, pulsating directive.
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

Pleasure is Oh so promising, it builds and it builds and then it drops...so far so good. The drums take it up a notch and then they leave you hanging in mid air. After that it just same repeatitiveness. You can tell that's the part where TOM gave up trying to build and build. In my head I see so many different layers and texture and sounds coming in to complement the vocals and that synth. Twist the god damn knob TOM make it do something!!! The vibrations didn't intensify, the more intense more intense joy never came as it could have!

How about it translates into how that particular track apparently speaks to me volumes more than the two of you? And I suppose we can translate the two of your comments into, "We will give other peoples' opinions to them." Arrogant twats.

And I don't particularly love "Through Me," but I think it has some wicked production and I definitely don't mind listening to it.

It speaks volumes probably because you have it on high volume, so that you can numb the 8 minutes of pain that is "nothing but pleasure". Tom should re-release under the chemical brothers and change its name to "nothing but PAIN" and awesome fans like you would still purchase it and support the cause of bad music. Someone who chooses Pleasure over Through me obviously needs to set his priorities straight.
