From what I remember, the studio one is the mk2 but the stage one has always been the white one


Ok, now tell me... WHAT DOES THE J A C O B MEAN?
Where do I start?
Where do I begin?

So this regram leads to...


...The Sonar website

On which we find not only a Spotify playlist and a message from the Chems, but also a Soundcloud embed.
And that embed is from the RAR soundcloud page.
As the Chems (and Errol K) appear to have had a hand in this Sonar page, it would seem to dispel any lingering doubts we may have had about the "officialness" of the RAR Soundcloud page.

PS It's appropriate that one of the busses has Further on the front. As per the Further bus in the Electric Kool Aid Acid Test. ...Which clearly had a big influence on Chems tracks and albums etc.
IT'S MORNING TIME!

Let's get entirely and pointlessly too nerdy about this.

The header image is this:



It doesn't seem to match images of RAR that we've seen. The lighting, flooring, mixer, layout, etc look like a different setup.

BUT those synths! The one on the right is a Buchla 100 and it appears to be the exact model that Tom owns:

And the one just behind the yellow lamp is an EMS Synthi AKS, also in their collection. So that's certainly their gear. So far I can't find another copy of this image online. Maybe it's an older studio? Or that old version of their studio they created when writing No Geography?

HMMMMMM


The image for Bukui Psychdelico Demo is of a miner and his pit pony, it's a Getty Image and it was recently used in this Guardian Article from 6 months ago:

Image for Latenight Psychdelic Mix is of Caja Eric (or Cala Eric), a Ziegfeld girl and performer in the late 1920s-mid 1930s. She wasn't terribly famous?

The pic of Tom in his man bun glory doesn't turn up on any reverse image searches.


Commence more speculation.

Didn't Tom tell in an interview during WATN era that he has a "writing studio"? This could be it. The mixing console is the Zähl Am1.
Here, the console maker:
Zähl

The Chemical Brothers are one of the customers.
