This is what I wrote for David's Planet Dust site:
The first time I heard the Chemicals I wasn't really into it. I was sort of/kind of dipping into electronic music other than the industrial variety, but not familiar at all with this new genre I was discovering. I really didn't give them a solid listening until DYOH came out. I was working at Tower Records, and I had this little loft upstairs where I did displays for the store. I was torturing my assistant by playing a lot of KMFDM, old NIN, and Front 242 and another coworker came up to me and said, "Put this in your stereo, you just might like it." My assistant and I put the cd on and all these amazing sounds emitted from my little boombox sitting on my desk. I thought, "No way is it possible to get these kind of sounds! No way!" But all was kind of lost, as DYOH gave my assistant a splitting headache, and I just didn't want to endure the bitching and moaning of "turn it down" coming from other fellow employees working beneath my loft.
A few short months later I found out I was pregnant. I went on an extended leave of absence, and finally quit the record store job which meant I kind of lost my lifeline to hearing new mind blowing stuff. Still kind of broke, I didn't think to purchase the cd until much much later - until right before Surrender came out. By that time I was full on into re-discovering myself (long story) and one of the things that gave me so much joy: Music. I wanted to learn - so I opened up my ears once again. I was learning more about electronic music, trying to understand it, trying to figure out how computers and all the gadgetry could produce some of the most amazing stuff I've ever heard. I'm still trying to figure it out! ;) And I've spread the chemical gospel and introduced a lot of my friends to the joys of the Chems. The years 1997 through today have been an interesting voyage musically - I could say that the Chemical Brothers definitely influence what I listen to these days, but that would be kind of cheesy, right?
Oh, and you flatter me chem'd up... I'm 31. ;)

I think I already wrote about it, but well...
I spent two and a half years with my apprenticeship in a bank here in Germany. I hadn't been too much into electronic music. If I remember correctly, it had been even before I got into the KLF big time. My own musical taste didn't match too much with the others, but I didn't complain when they listened to Sunshine Live, one of the first big german radio stations playing "unusual" dance, techno and the likes.
I had heard of the Chemical Brothers before from the Wipeout soundtrack (Chemical Beats, which is in fact the very first Chems song I ever listened to), so I was quite curious when they announced on Sunshine that they would play the new single by them quite shortly. So I waited for the music to kick in.
And how it kicked! The fast and banging drums and bassline of HBHG were totally different to everything I had listened to before, and I fell in love with the track immediately, while the upcoming Out Of Control didn't impress me that much when it got released shortly afterwards.
I must admit that at that time - and with that certain money shortage during my apprenticeship - I had them as mp3s only. After all, the music was quite different to everything that got airplay on normal radio stations, so it was almost impossible to find a copy of the singles and the album in a normal record store. So while Surrender was the first full album I listened to at home, it was the LH/DYOH double pack that finally hooked me up to the Chemical Brothers in 2002. I bought the original CD of Surrender shortly afterwards, and my collection still grows nowadays.
Where the money came from to build a huge KLF/Shamen/Leftfield/Chems collection at once ? God must have had his friendly day I suppose. When the bank I was working for after my apprenticeship had to close down, they were of course happy about everyone who would quite their job on his own and therefore paid some sort of financial settlement. Luckily, our 3 years of apprenticeship counted as working time, so I was paid quite an amount to quit. 8)
There you go, that's my story. Hope I didn't bore anyone.
