Some of you may heard of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. You know, find old websites and stuff like that when the internet was in its infancy! So I did the Chems site, and im already on my 2nd hour searching and just reliving this site.

Good archive reading and factoids here and there!
Even the old quicktime movies still work (small little squares to play the vids remember!)

If you have the patience, some of the sites don't work perfectly while some of them do! (EX: The CWU site has many snapshots with unclickable links for navigation, while the others do! Ha! They did sell Chemical coffee mugs :)

Hahaha yeah, bless the Wayback Machine. I love that stuff from 1997. The Boring Brothers!

"Racing to a TV screen near you is the video for the new Chems single Setting Sun featuring the least mysterious mystery singer in the history of music."

Classic.

Looking at the 'Surrender' days, there was a Q & A with T & E! Didn't know Bjork rejected a remix form them, but fortunately, the bros renamed the track DYOH!

OMG, that is brilliant! As if I don't have too many things to do as it is, I have to look through all of that.

The Chemical Brothers Magic Ride:

Does anyone know if there is ANY way to run this Sparkplug program on a 64 bit system? Or play a .tvm file? I've checked extensively, the company that developed those files (TVML) is long gone. I NEED to try this out.

I just tried it on an older PC I have with 32bit XP on it, sparkplug installed but when I try to play the tvm file I just got a white screen for a while then it disappears. Shame, I wanna go for a magic ride too.

What ? I love her but that's disappointing... :evil: Glad we can hear the result as Dig Your Own Hole though.

Any clue what the track may be? The title track from Dig Your Own Hole has always been one of my favorites; it'd be interesting to see what Bjork song was its origin.
Also, anyone notice this little tidbit?

We'd like to thank all those who helped us out of that predicament, The Boring Brothers for helping us keep on track, Bill for his guidance, Raft productions Ltd and our pet dog Sammy.

Band's best friend!

love is all.

The CWU website was so damn good looking! By far my favorite, fond memories.
Has anyone found the original CWU message board where you didn't have to register? I want to find my first post where I thought the leaked copy of CWU was a fake...

Will there ever be a re-release 14th Century Sky ep, Song To Siren ep or My Mercury Mouth ep? Or maybe a compilation of the favorite remixes you've done. It is imposible to find these record anywhere.
There are problems with the samples on the early stuff.

And i was wondering why they never released them digitaly..

Which do you prefer: performing live or working in the studio?
Ed: Neither
Tom: Either

I gotta echo everyone else, the CWU sites were superb! A nice little tidbit I found on the 02-03 pages:

Quote

We're really comfortable with doing gigs and hitting the road hard -
that's what we do to sell records. On the other hand we won't go on TV
and play our music live, we're not bothered about things like that.
Someone said early on that touring was like turning up to work with 72
cans of lager on your on your desk. In many ways that sums it up.

The first time we player Brixton Academy, we'd been going there to gigs
since we were 14 years old. To actually stand on stage and get
a response... whatever life holds in store for me, it will never get much
better than that. One of my ambitions was always to play Brixton and be
the band that people were going to see and have people outside the
tube station going "Buy any spares for Chemical Brothers...". When we
were first doing it, I never thought we'd be touring the world or putting
ourselves on the line. It just happened that people the world over liked
the record and wanted to see us. When we first started out, I never
thought we'd be playing in New York City. Now we've played there
dozens of times, it's like second nature.

I tried already! I clicked on 'view questions and answers' and nothing pops out!

There was a topic posted about it on the CWU forum, but that thread is closed! The last post was by the infamous pink shoes!
