I find this an interesting comment, that Further was essentially a concept album and that it was created with live performance in mind. I'm curious if the live performance aspect is how they feel about all their "proper" work and Tom uses this explanation simply to distinguish between album work and the soundtrack work, or if Further itself was conceived with touring in mind moreso than their other albums.

If Further was indeed made with the live show in mind moreso than their other albums had been, that ties into my "argument" for a live audio disc.

These interviews were bad ass. If you listen to Tom explain the creative process that goes into their work, and you claim to like art and or music, than I don't see how you don't read that article and shake your head in awe. There's only one Chemical Brothers.

To be fair, that's probably a similar creative process to what most bands/artists/etc do. It's just that what ends up as a finished Chemical Brothers track is pretty consistenly excellent and frequently brilliant. But I do love reading/hearing more about the creative process because I think that gives a lot of insight into them as people and artists, and also provides better understanding of the music itself. It helps to contextualize music that inspires such a physical and emotion response.

The physical and emotional response is what I get most out of their music, I think. It all comes to a head in the live setting, but I will never forget how I felt or where I was mentally and physically, and what I was doing on the day where I listened- really, really listened - and let the music find me. Yet the response to the music need not be some grand revelation that unlocks the secret to the universe or some nonsense. I like that it can simply make you want to dance, or it's good music to listen to in your car, or hearing it when you're out of your element about town can bring a smile to your face. I think the emotional and physical response of the music (and this isn't 100% unique to the Chems) is the hardest thing to describe to people without sounding completely bonkers. Thanks fellow Chems fans!

Anyway, back to the article. It's always a pleasure to read an interview on how things work and what went into the finished product you hear. I admit the techie interviews where they start going deep into the gear and technical processes are out of my league of comprehension sometimes (though still fascinating). But the insight into the creative process, how they got there, what the experience was like, what they wanted to achieve... maybe it's a bit more in layman's terms, but that is something that is within my scope of understanding.

ehhh getting outbid looks like that was a bust

I already went around my parts of my area to find this vinyl! No luck!

Let the bidding commence! So far I'm the highest on one of them!

if someone put up a buy now of 50 bucks i might do it
but i dunno. if i have to think of whether or not its worth it, it means im too poor to be spending money on vinyl

I try not to do the 'buy now' ! I've holded out for alot of stuff for bidding and came up winning and paying less than what the 'buy now' price was!

50 is tempting though!

If SOMEONE would just give us these vinyl for free we wouldn't be having bidding wars!

It's a shame.........it really is............putting me and Androidgeoff to fight for a Hanna LP! I'm shocked!

You do have a point though, they need to just give these vinyls out to the fans!

Vinyl ain't cheap. Just be happy, you collector folks, that they're still releasing them.

Speaking of vinyl, next time I visit my parents, I need to find my EBW 8/9 promo vinyl. I'm no longer sure of its precise whereabouts, which bothers me. Because EBW9 is such a badass tune.

They should add this to the tour. With a little trimming, they can chuck this in with the rest of the set!

A little snippet of Hanna's theme...then straight to 'Container Park' for a good 2 minutes, then finish off with TDIITB! Any other ideas or better suggestions?

btw, I assume if they put this in the set, It might be shortened for time. So these 3 tracks can be edited and mixed for a playing time of under 5 minutes!

They should put their entire catalogue into the show so we have a full 7h live experience. I would pay 50 money to see it.
