Come With Us

Due out Jan 28th, the new Chemical Brothers is an interesting evolution in sound. They continue with loop based electronica, and are obviously enamored of their skills in producing/mixing. The lead single, It Began In Africa is fairly typical if well done house and has been doing well in the dance clubs. Star Guitar is the next single (early Jan) and is a medium rhythm track that slowly builds aural themes on a steady base. Come With Us, the title track, is probably the most interesting track on the album, with a nice trance-y influence and trip vocals. My Elastic Eye is a nice use of analog (probably an emulator) in a minimalist fast dance track, and there are some nice moments in the slower tracks (esp The Test) though over all the album is too techno based for my taste.
