The Chemical Brothers, one of my favorite dance artists, are set to release a new 2CD retrospective collection on September 2nd. Dubbed Brotherhood, the first half of the collection features 14 of their biggest singles (also available as a single disc). Spanning the whole of their 13-year career, it includes classics like "Block Rockin' Beats" and "Hey Boy Hey Girl," bringing them up to date with recent dancefloor smashes like "Galvanize" and "Do It Again," released since their first greatest hits album (Singles 93-03). The set also includes new track "Keep My Composure" (featuring Spank Rock). Available on the limited second disc are all ten of their "Electronic Battle Weapon" tracks, nine of which are now available for the very first time in wide release. Released throughout their career on low-key 12" singles, they've often featured rough, early experimental versions of tracks and mixes that wound up on their albums, and are a treasure trove for fans. The album is preceded by the digital release (available now) of "Midnight Madness," extracted from the recent "Electronic Battle Weapon 10." Typical of the Chemical Brothers, the video is quirky and effortlessly cool (featured below). Also cool is a new contest the boys are running in collaboration with Google Earth. Fans are being asked to submit short video snippets relating to the track, the best of which will be compiled for a new video due out in early September. Check out their website for details as the deadline is August 25.The Chemical Brothers, "Midnight Madness" (from the forthcoming Brotherhood)
