Chemical Reaction

It's Big Beat Bonanza time at Blade Mansions for you this week. Can't remember where I picked this up but do remember it being £6 circa '97. Looks like a US import from the inner-sleeve  ("WARNING! Toxic UK Big Beat Tracks Included" is plastered on the rather minimally designed inner cover) and although you should have heard the Chem's "Jailbird" and "Open Up" mixes before there's enough obscure stuff to merit a sneaky download imo.

01 Deeper Throat - Mouth Organ (Chemical Brothers Mix)
02 Depth Charge - Shaolin Buddha Finger
03 Dirty Beatniks - Dont Stop
04 Primal Scream - Jailbird (Chemical Brothers Mix)
05 Saint Etienne - Filthy (Monkey Mafia mix)
06 Aphrodite - Aphromoods
07 Sabres Of Paradise - The Tow Truck (Chemical Brothers Mix)

08 Saint Etienne - Like A Motorway (Chekhov Warp Dub)
09 Freakniks - Uncivilized World
10 Leftfield - Open Up (Chemical Brothers Mix)
11 Swordfish -The Get On (Chemical Brothers Mix)
 

The Chemical Brothers : Live At The Social vol 1

The Chem's came along in the early/mid 90’s and were one of those groups who put the disparate musical strands together and came up with a sound you’d already been looking for ( c.f. Jesus and Mary Chain).

I’d already caught the last knockings of their residency at some dingy toilet off Oxford Street and therefore genuinely was in at the beginnings of their Turnmills residency.

Trouble was, of course, that musically, big-beat was a bit of a blind alley; but we only found that out after the third album.

Anyway, Mr Google implies that this is a bit of a rarity, and, as it very accurately sums up their set in those days (ie prolly a lot funkier than you’re used to), Ladeeez and Gennlemen please put your hands together for “Live At The Social mixed by The Chemical Brothers”.
