Benassi? House.

Shit.

Is all music not valid to thoose who listen ?

@slipvin

what about flat beat?

nobody mentions the freestylers cos they are shit. i remeber the chems dissed their cheesey music by dubbing them the brie-stylers

LOL

.

i'd also like to add Medicine to my list, their song "i'm sick" is SICK! I first heard it on "the dirtchamber sessions", best track on the whole album.

Dirtchamber? Great. I wonder if there will be a Volume 2. I heard *somebody* say there will be.

@Slipvin : Oizo's first album is very Big Beat

My contribution to the list :

Simian Mobile Disco

Green Velvet

Too tired to search for other ones

Did somebody say Audio Bullies yet? I love their new stuff.

Massive Attack?

Claude Von Stroke

Sebastian Ledger

A review I read of WATN said that The Pills Wont Help You Now sounds more like a Midlake track than a Chems.Not being familiar with Midlake myself can anyone confirm this?

I'll write more about the Freestylers later - I absolutely love them. Absolutely agree they got some cheesy parts and vocals (the freestyling), but it's a slightly acquired taste and if u can get past the generalising u'll realise they'r really brilliant songwriters - maybe not ed n tom's level, but on their vibe, i find them very very brilliant producers and songwriters with brilliant tunes. and i love some cheese sometimes.

I think Tom & Ed are just jealous bastards.

I think the Freestylers suck.

Just my opinion.

Will put some suggestions up here later =)

But one tune i can recommend to ya'll - Tom Chemical already mentioned it in his playlist - Battles / Atlas.

Its so fucking cool , and so fucking strange , and its just goes on and on. Its wicked.

Hey BUFFETT, about The Pills Won't Help You Now sounding more like a Midlake song than a Chems tune. When I first heard The Test, which I liked from the get-go, I thought it sounded more like a Verve song than the Chems. Being a Verve fan I thought I was right, that was my initial thought. I hear it now and know it's a Chems tune, it feels like the Chems and aside from the singing, there are elements that sound Verve-ish. But all in all - Chems tune, fantastic guest vocalist = The Test is awesome!

The Chemical Brothers seem to pride themselves on being able to tap into what other artists are doing...

The Verve couldn't have written a song like the Test ever - forget producing it - don't get me wrong I like a bit of their stuff here and there, but I think the Test is something Ashcroft could have never dreamt of doing in his career hadn't Tom n Ed decided to bless him. Check out the fuckin drums on that song.

I maintain the Freestylers rock. Jeanie - give their last album : Adventures in Freestyle a listen - some brilliant songs on that. Security comes to mind.

Hell yeah, I just got their album yesterday. Had only heard one review and this song but having listened to the whole thing now, I can say that they are a quality band. One of the tracks that really got my attention was Rainbow, all the weird timing in the album allows for some trippy sounds!

@Acidchildren, where did you see the Japanese Popstars? I've seen them live 3 times now(1 DJ set), they've always delivered.

Check out Culprit 1. Heard them yesterday, f*cking awesome. Did a great remix of Paul Hartnoll's (Orbital) tune 'Please'.

Check their myspace.

Freestylers = big fat 'meh' from me lol

These artists spring to mind, don't think they've been mentioned yet...

Bassbin Twins

The Rogue Element

Madox

Si Begg

Josh Wink

Uberzone

Elite Force

Rennie Pilgrem

Ils

Lee Coombs

Check out GOLDFRAPP! I got all 3 their albums and they fuckin rock.
