Interstella 5555 was about the first thing I thought of when I heard about this. Wouldn't a Chems equivalent be so cool? I hope the videos are similarly interconnected...

Thinking about it now, yeah, they never called it an EP. Phew. I can call it Chem7.

AWESOME.
Do you think it's "Watch the Skies" or some other great 11-minute track we haven't been privy to yet?

Yaaaay!! epic single confirmed!!!

Will it be released June 7th or 8th ? On Facebook, it's written June 8th.

I think I just became a little bit moist

Great news but I'm a bit confused.

This will not be a cd release but a dvd release. Not 8 songs but 8 films with Chems scoring.
The Roundhouse gigs will be the only gigs showing the films before the release or will those 4 gigs be the only screening of the films.
Can someone make me understand more clearly?

It all sounds very cool but I don't really get it. Can't wait til I have it to watch it/hear it.

I love days like this.... a random Tuesday full of chemical brothers news!!

This is so exciting,

i'm in australia, and last night i was up at midnight refreshing this forum, it was apparently like... 1pm in england, but no news!!!!

i dragged my arse out of bed @ 8 am this morning and i've never been so excited!

the bio for "Further" reads nicely, i'm so excited about it, and i'm so happy to see Tom and Ed doing exactly what THEY want to do. not that they haven't in the past, but they have always talked about wanting to do music for film, i guess this is a start.

8 tracks to me suggests that,yeah, they will probably all be long, but for some reason, i get the idea there will be more soundscapes, songs which are more progressive, and more of a one song made up of eight parts feel to the album.

i think this is probably down to Tom's nod toward his "pychtronic mix" being sort of an idea of what kind of a place they are in at the moment, whats inspiring them etc.

howevs, i like to overthink things, and we just wont know until Further is released.

but i am buzzing, haven't felt this good since 2007 when they announced WATN, but i tihnk i'm more excited this time because they are doing something a little more different. this will have a massive impact.

This is just amazing. I'm still in shock and awe here. I honestly don't know how to respond other than to say how ridiculously excited I am!

New music. A DVD. A concert to look forward to. A revamped forum to explore.

And now the painful excruciating wait til June 7!

THIS

I had been expecting just your usual 11-track Chemical album. Glad the boys are mixing it up (DVD ftw!) like this! Further is going to be epic, no question about it.

i really like erol alkans twitter comment

same here

and yes: some days ago, somebody posted an interview of a director which is shooting the new chemical brothers music video. does that mean, that beside those 8 movies, there will be alternative videos for the mtv crowd?!

?!?

"Further" is the culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration!"

I was already sold when I read that sentence! Eight beefy tracks, an SE DVD (hopefully a Blu-Ray soon)

Thursday is so long...but June is way to long!

NYC on Sept 4! Didn't know bout that!

I think i'm gonna be up all night for this. Gotta make up for all my lost posts!

Love the music and vid player for those who missed it!

@Tom and Ed
Thank you!

hm... Just saw that Erol Alkan will be in Paris in 2 days... Do I go ?

Yeah you should go. He's a hell of a DJ. I'd go see him if he were around here--without a doubt.

Nice signature in chem!

As for Erol. Saw him in October last year. I definitely recommend seeing one of his sets. I think he was doing his disco 3000 tour when i saw him haha.

Go for it! Hard to guess though when it will be played...first hour, 5th hour, 3rd hour!

And yes Jittem, that is me in 'clown' form!
