Back in the 1990s, the Chemical Brothers were one of the undisputed masters of the burgeoning electronic music art form. Their seminal album Dig Your Own Hole has more than stood the test of time. Stalwarts that they are, they've continued producing exceptional music long after the boomlet of purely electronic music has faded (though many of its hallmark features have trickled down into R&B, and house music has clearly transformed what constitutes 'danceable' hip-hop for the Top 40).
Their last two albums, Push the Button and We Are the Night both won Grammy awards for Best Electronic/Dance album, and this new 12-minute track off their forthcoming album Further (due out this June) indicates they're not giving up yet. With a two-minute intro that slowly builds steam towards a sophisticated, driving beat, the Chemical Brothers have once again used their considerable mastery of the form to drive their production forward without abandoning the elements that have made them so successful in the past.
