CHEMICAL BROTHERS: SURRENDER [album]

CHEMICAL BROTHERS: SURRENDER (Virgin XDUST 4)
So it's 1999 and the best music around, both chart and credible, is being made by hedonistic studio wizards and pop alchemists with nary a guitar or rhythm section in sight. Unsurprisingly, given their magic digits, they are also the most in-demand remixers currently extant. Their names are The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim and they are our indubitably perfect pre-millenial pop stars.
Standout tracks:
...Noel Gallagher happens along to wonder aloud - somewhat ungrammatically - "How does it feel like to wake up in the sun?" on Let Forever Be, essentially an update on their joint 1996 Number 1 single Setting Sun...
Surrender is The Chemical Brothers' quantum leap into the wild blue yonder, away from their trademark slapstick delirium. It looks like there is life after big beat, after all.

c 1998 Andrew Turner
