I'm using eBay to complete my Chemical Brothers collection, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Does a complete 'official' discography exist? One with everything - albums, singles, remixes, etc...

Thanks!

You can try using the Chronicles section of this site to get the discography.

Once the Chronicles loads, up on the right hand side of the page there's a bar that says 2007. Click on that and slowly pull it down. Slowwwwly, or you'll miss things.

When you see a single come up (you can just click the Tate Tracks one, it's the first to appear), just move your mouse off the black bar and click on the single. A new window will appear. Wait for all the singles images to load and you can use the < or > dealie-oh's the move back and forth between the long line of singles.

As for remixes, I don't think they're all in the Chronicles section but I could have missed them. In the meantime you can check this out this site - not official nor updated past Galvanize, but it'll at least give you start:

Whoa! Whirly that was the most fantastic reply to a newbie in eons! This really deserves to be chronicled. In the buzzed section of this forum on a monday evening.

hehehe, I just thought I'd help a new brother out!

Well, this guy is obviously hardcore despite his low post count.

ill email you my collection list if you want.

apart from remixes of other artsits stuff and ariel stuff i have it all!.....nearly....i think....:/

www.discogs.com

I was actually going to flame on you because I read "eMule" instead of "eBay" :p

yep, www.discogs.com is definitly the best discography out there; for any band!

try www.iamanType.com too :D

Discogs is definitely well organized; and anType keeps a pretty good watch on that.

As well, I guess this is the perfect opportunity to address something..

Around 1995/6 I heard the Chems for the first time when Setting Sun was getting actual airplay in the U.S. I started snapping up everything with Chemical Brothers or Dust Brothers on it (there was still a question in the U.S. who was who, then). I scoured everything I could find to figure out where to get anything they'd released.

My goal was (and still is) to have at least one copy of every song (each mix and different track times) on some form of hard media (vinyl/cd doesn't matter). Songs that have different amounts of silence I don't care about. So, i started writing my own discography starting in 2001. In 2003 I finally registered gotglint.com and started collecting whatever I could find on the 'net. At the time, there was Chemical Bits, Planet Dust and the Russian Chemical Brothers site. All were great help in figuring out what was what. I wrote gotglint.com to both keep my information (so I didn't duplicate copies of media, and so I knew what albums/tracks I still had yet to get) as well as learning some new PHP commands I needed for other applications I write for my clients.

At some point, by collecting whatever I could find on those sites (discogs was just becoming a real source in 2003 since more ppl were joining), I pissed off anType by putting it all in one spot; much of the harder to find information on ChemBits was of great help. (He can address himself if he wants to clarify these items).. But he noted to me at one point that he was pissed that I was "stealing" his hard work, as if my collecting of the same information from wherever on the web wasn't time consuming or was easy.

I still don't know what his beef was, or if it still is an issue. Maybe it's all in the past, but it still seems like there's a dark cloud somewhere in the vibe.

Anyway, that was the idea of gotglint.com -- it is, and it was, completely for my own enjoyment and PHP writing practice. It's basically a homegrown version of a discogs; but I welcome any suggestions or corrections at any time, as always.

(as a side note, I'm also an avid NIN fan -- so I might be putting my nin stuff in there too sometime -- but if you think figuring out the back catalog of the Chems is difficult, you should see the mess that trent reznor has in his back catalog. oy.)

Wow! Thanks everyone. I've basically got all of the mainstream albums & singles, but I figure I'm going for it all since they're basically the only music I listen to.

Can't wait for the new album!

Hope you stick around Phin!
