shickdick :D

ok...in my opinion "do it again" sounds like something justin timberlake would do..like sexy back.. if anyone likes that style then you'll like this..if not you probably won't like it...

LONG LIVE BIG BEATS..!

peace :)

Get over it man, they don't make big beat music, they never have, all they've ever made is Chemical Brothers Music

It just so happened that 10 years ago, some music called 'Big Beat' happened, by chance, to sound like Chemical Brothers Music, and they were mistakenly associated with other Genre, one-trick acts, like Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and Crystal Method. Not that there's anything wrong with doing one thing and doing it well, but the Brothers are not to be pigeonholed like other, lesser, mortals.

and BTW, 99% of the "Chems Mixes" on demonoid are not the Chems at all. Even counting the bootlegs of their live shows, I would say there's less than 20 real chems mixes in existence (I hope antype or someone can correct me if I'm wrong and give us the real number).

wtf are you smoking? Can I have some?

who, me?

I'm smoking chemicals.

no i mean shik, youre post showed up before mine.

lol.. i said "long live big beats" example .all rights reversed.. not "long live big beat music".. and the mixes i'm referring to on demonoid are albums I'VE MIXED IN/edited MYSELF,..sorry for the confusion..

i'm falling asleep from day,coz i'm under the influence and out of control..got glint? or an orange wedge..?

>_>

Well, if you're so into big beat, I hear the Fatboy Slim forum is as desperate to have new people as we are desperate to be rid of them.

and I can totally see the comparison to Justin Timberlake, I mean, totally.... god knows that ALL the pop songs out there talk about taking so many pillz that your brain feels like bubblegum and explodes inside your head. Yep, the pop market is just overflowing with 'I'm really fucked up on the dance floor songs'...

oh, wait, it's not? nevermind.

i never mentioned the lyrics.. i said it SOUNDS LIKE..

in all seriousness i don't want to piss anyone off m8..have you heard "palookaville".. not one song on there is big beat..i might try the hybrid forums though.. their album "i choose noise" is fantastic..that's the sound i hoped the chems would sound like now..if anyone here hasn't heard it..get it.. you WILL NOT be dissapointed.

Do It Again is really sweet. I like it more than most forum members I suspect. Listening to the album again for the first time in a couple weeks. Looking forward to a few select tracks a lot. I do see some similarities to recent Timbaland productions, though. This shouldn't be surprising though since I'm the one who brought that up originally, I think.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the inlay artwork and everything!

I've never heard The Hybrids, but if they're still making circa-1997 music, I'm sure they suck... but you should go over there shik... don't let the virtual door hit you in the ass on the way out... we don't want ass prints on our door.

damn, i can't post pics :(

well, thats it for me, i'm outta here, cya, goin to the pub.

I hate that too.

I miss my pictures.

I could have done this whole conversation without actually typing a word.

Listening to DIA at the moment. I can see a slight influence from minimal productions but this is not a minimal tune by any means. I can hear elements of minimal, a bit of electro, but it's a Chems tune first and foremost. There's little bits stolen from their own tunes, esp. PTB and on.

you know, I just realized... DIA could sound exactly like a Justin Timberlake, or brittany spears song... it could be a note for note cover, but you know what? I'd never fuckin' know it, because I don't listen to that sorta shit. You could play a medley of top 40 crap and I couldn't tell you what any of em are.

you could, because the chemicals are in the top 40 when they release a single,and will be in the top 40 the week after they release Do it again....

well, if they were in the top 40 in America, I'd be pleasantly suprised and happy for them.
