I remember when the Singles 93-03 compilation was being put together Tom and Ed asked us for what we would like to hear on this cd. That's how AnType got Delik on there (nice one).

So next year might see a release of the Singles 03-13 compilation. And just maybe we get to have some influence on that as well. So I'll give it a shot.

So cd1 would have the singles:
1. Galvanize
2. Believe
3. The Boxer
4. Do it again
5. The Salmon Dance
6. Saturate
7. Midnight Madness
8. Swoon
9. Hanna (vocal version)
10. a new track (music from the Olympic games)
11. and maybe another

Cd2 could be very, very interesting:
1. Hot Acid Rhythm part 2 featuring Eve (should've been on the 93-03 one looking at chronological order)
2. Problems (animal track) Justin Robertson got a copy
3. the club music from Black Swan (Don't Think (Black Swan edit) or the other 2 which titles I forgot)
4. Superflash
5. The Rock Drill
6. Tracks that were cut from the Hanna Soundtrack but are in the film
7. Another track from the Velodrome Olympic games
8. Close your eyes ft. the Magic Numbers (from the live '05 EP)
9. a track found behind a sofa
10. a track found under the sofa

the dvd wil contain the videos and some interesting live stuff.

1. Get yourself high (why wasn't it on the first dvd, love it)
2. Galvanize
3. The Boxer
4. Do it again
5. The Salmon dance
6. Swoon

and some live bits (very wishfull thinking, never gonna happen)

Close your eyes featuring the Magic Numbers
tracks taken from Becks live at Trafalgar Square (at least Hold Tight London)
tracks taken from Isle of MTV (Believe!)
track taken from Electric Proms (the Boxer ft. Tim Burges and Where do I begin ft. Beth Orton)
Escape Velocity from their DJ set at Coachella

Maybe even before this release we get another DJ mix promo.




Ok Tom and Ed, you worked hard, you have deserved a years rest, I would love to see the above but I know the changes are slim to none.
But it is your own fault. The Chemical Brothers are a drug. When you get a fix you can live with it for a time, but the more you use the sooner you need a new one

Lets get the rumours started!

a track they are working on for years now. i first hear of it during the surrender-era.
maybe it is released under a different name in the meantime (and nobody knows it) or they lost their interest on it.

No EV or Another World?

Didn't know that AnType got Delik for us!

AnType is a forum legend among legends! He was responsible for first informing many of us that track even existed!

If you browse through the archive you can see some discussion - sadly Antype's posts disappeared during a forum oopsie a few years ago, but there is some good discussion and whatnot: http://forum.thechem...les-bonus-disc/

I am sort of 2 minds about another Singles compilation. Sure it would be great to have the past 10 years at glance. But Brotherhood wasn't released all that long ago, and putting another Singles compilation seems... I don't know. Maybe a bit redundant? Compilations aren't necessarily the cash cows they once were, in this digitally dominating world... But if the Chems release anything along these lines I won't complain because there is the bonus potential factor.

Something like Here Come The Drums would be great to finally hear after all this time. But I worry the hype of the past decade+ would be... Underwhelming. If I had a choice, a voice, or was in the position to suggest, I would like the opportunity to hear more hidden 'sofa' gems - those little ear-sized bites of unexpected sonic joy like Silver Drizzle and Otter Rock.

I was listening to the Chems Patrol remix the other day, and was thinking a proper compilation of remixes they've done is long overdue. But I digress...

I'm content at finally having an official live release, something T&E have resisted in the past. Now that taboo has been broken, what would really do it for me is a series of similar releases from all the tours - now that would be something to get excited about!

Please, not another singles compilation!!! I don't see any reason to buy a 3rd Star Guitar single...
We should be grateful for what we'll get sometime soon.

Plus, these guys are unlike most of these sell-out industry musicians who put out best of's after best of's.

Whoops, I'm dearly sorry for that little kitten. Hope it wasn't an Octave one

Just a CD2 compliation. There's really no demand for another Singles set, except as an excuse for the awesome extras that come with it. And there's no reason for an 03-13 comp, unless we have to copy Underworld's format of a year dated compilation, again.

A "Chemical Rarities/Unreleasities" comp would be a much better idea, as it's earth shattering for the fans and for more casual listeners, it's still an album of brand new material.

I absolutely love this version of HTL.

Defintiely

maybe the tracks off the early EPs that have never had official digital/cd releases? and anything else from down the back of the sofa

I'd be satisfied enough with Superflash! Everything else is an extra.

the b sides compilation was named b-sides vol.1

so maybe.

would also love to see some of the unreleased tracks, sessions and stuff to be released.

also some dj tools would be nice.

HERE COMES DRUMS

I'm not sure they will do Singles 03 13, the first one was made mainly because of the contract they had with Virgin (I believe)

For the 20th Anniversary I would like to see a two-disc set of rarities: one disc of b-sides and stuff from the last 10 years, the other disc with remastered work from their "Dust Brothers" era.

This could kick off a series of modern remasters from the old catalog to run concurrently with new work and/or touring.

As I said in another thread, we can move forward and still show some love for the classics. We don't have to sacrifice one for the other.

Antype, where is he these days?
