I've been talking to the EMI India guy who manages international labels, and he's cocksure that the album has been postponed to 2nd July and the single to 18th June, worldwide.

Here's his reply to my mail, for more on this check my Ask Ed n Tom thread. ;)

Hi Navneet,

This change in release date is not only for India but across the globe, the album has shifted to 2nd July and the single to 18th June.

I will talk to you about the promotions for the new Chemical album before I close for the week tomorrow.

Thanks,

Anand

Errr, let's really hope he is wrong!

interesting tags.

I think I may have to download or in some other way hear this album if it really has been moved back... please be not true :(

So i guess is not a typo after all :|

From Astralwerks Newsletter:

-----------------------------------

“Do It Again” is not just the new groundbreaking song by the Chemical Brothers, it’s the first single off their new album ‘We Are The Night’ (in-stores July 17). Be sure to click the link below to hear this track which is sure to knock your socks off. “Do It Again” is a true return to the innovative creativity that the duo has been delivering for over a decade. This first taste from the new album also features vocals by Ali Love.

The “Do It Again” edit will be available digitally on May 15 and the full package of remixes will be out on June 19. Stay tuned for more information about the album in the coming weeks.

SHIT.

Now you will have to re-do your sig mx.

I fuckin told you guys they would punish us for listening early, but you wouldn't believe me!! WHY? OH WHY WOULDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!?!?!?!?

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

This is our punishment!

I still wont listen to the cd anymore until it comes out tho. I need to pay for my greedy-ness!

think it is abit stupid delaying it any further as the longer the delay the more people who will download it illegally

I'm sure they have a good reason for it!

I'm talking to the EMI guy tomorrow - shall post the reasons if I get to know. He seemed very sure - there's a full mail trail - i was laughing when he mentioned the dates first, he went back and checked and told me for sure.

damn damn damN! he's promised me the promos anyway! :D

ill ask the people i know around and see what the story this side of the water is.....

damn karma.....how i fucking loath thee!

aaahh nooo!!! more WAiTiN!!

Oh dear, play.com and amazon.co.uk both have it down as a July 2nd release date. Why are we waitin, why are we waitin............................

this sucks

This is such unbelievably crap news.

/me cries

yeah just looked at all the retailes are showing the date as 2nd july now.

i never quite understand why this happens? seem to remember this happend to surrender as well.

makes no sence what so ever with the album being leaked.

Oh man, now they're just laughing at us. Must... resist... download.........

Damn - fear the mighty wrath of miloco2forum!!!

*sigh*

It will still be a summer album, it can still be a summer anthem...

This is without a doubt the chemical revenge: Who's downloading prematurely, has to wait another 2 weeks.
