Free Music Notes for Further

Free Music Review: Better, Best
Hit: 5 Stars

It's so good it made me want to go back through all The Chemical Brothers' albums. I thought I must've been wrong about the last few years. No such luck.

The final track on 2002's Come With Us was as bad as it got. That was one of Richard Ashcroft's most embarrassing moments as well, and I know that says something. I know that Dick Ashcroft is like ten Ian Browns on coke, and Ian Brown straight as an arrow is like ten Puff Daddys on coke (Puff, Diddy Man, whatever he wants us to call him). Anyway, at least Come With Us had "It Began In Afrika" and "Star Guitar". Push The Button (2005) had "The Big Jump", and We Are The Night (2007) had "Das Spiegel" and "Burst Generator" adrift on a BP style disaster.

The latest album, though, is better. It's a consistent and coherent experience. Nothing hits as obviously as "The Sunshine Underground", but that and "Star Guitar" are references. The phased pitch shift and tremulous effects, particularly on "Another World", evoke My Bloody Valentine. M83 tries for a similar kind of electronic shoegaze but, along with airy sounds and digital distortion, Further has the kind of bottom that still allows for a sexy ass dance ("Swoon" and "Escape Velocity" in particular).

Time to play the Nazi card. The world is better off without Nazi collaborators, right? Well, we're better off without Chemical Brother collaborators too. That's the world Further finally gives us. The Chemical Brothers understand at last! "Believe" for example, from Push The Button, is the best song that the Bloc Party singer has worked on, but it'd still be a better song without him. Likewise, just because the singer from Muse and DJs Josef Mengele and Ayn Rand would make their best music with The Chemical Brothers, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

OK, Nazi and Chemical Brother collaborators don't compare. I admit it. Compare instead the instrumental version of "Setting Sun" with the vocal. Noel Gallagher's voice is an obvious spoiler! The Chemical Brothers are better off own their own. They understand at last! Well, perhaps they understand. Perhaps they realise that they might as well take chances, because their recent disasters mean they have less to lose than any time since Exit Planet Dust (1995). Regardless, the absence of star endorsements helps take Further furthest. One final argument: another reason the new album will wear better than Exit Planet Dust and 1997's Dig Your Own Hole is precisely because it avoids the big-hit "Block Rockin' Beats" sound.

OK, to recap, avoid if you're a fan of big beat, Bloc Party or the Third Reich. I think that's everything.

Further Poster

The culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration, Further is a record that ebbs and flows like the band's legendary live shows, an immersive collection that finds The Chemical Brothers at their most unrestrained and melodic best. Here, West Coast power pop harmonies sit beside German Motorik rhythms while My Bloody Valentine-esque sonic manipulations plane across the top of early house basslines. Step futher into the future with The Chemical Brothers.

(CD/DVD version also available containing a full-on 51 minute audio/visual experience with cutting edge visuals tailored to the eight epic tracks.)
