Free Yourself or Keep On Making Me High ?

"page doesn't exist" with both links.
Did they take it down or is it because I'm not on Twitter?

Doesn't sound from either Free Yourself or Keep On Making Me High unless its a new portion of it I haven't heard.
It could be the start of Free Yourself as the rhythm and beats are similar or maybe a new one altogether. Quite dark. Nice.
Oh I recognise that. We heard a bit of it on an Instagram clip from OGR Torino.
At the time I thought it was probably a Chemical re-edit of an old 80's EBM/Industrial track. The vocals went something like: "Fuck...Ugh...I'm Dancin".
I might edit it into this post if I can find it - it's somewhere on the 2017 DJ set thread(s).

It's definitely mixed with some old school track.

I'm not sure, it would fit the theme of the other tracks with the same kind of vocals (Free yourself, dance, keep on makin' me high...)
And yeah, it's the first EBW that not released at June 1.
:o
Punchy
That sounds massive!
I didn't notice before but on the Instagram clip you can also hear the creepy laughters from the Youtube preview

I really dig the creapy mask theme... Wandering what it would look like on a massive screen/live. Sounds like the new album is gonna be a banger.

I bet it's going to be a live visual! Hope we're going to get some complex Undergroundish/ Reelish/ Burstish/ Escapish heavy-build-up tunes again.

Well done Explud. We needed a new motif.
Not yet. But can't be that long until the release I guess. BITE came out in July, so let's see.
Like the update! I assume the album is gonna be called Eyes Wide Shut (RAR version)?
By the way, this visuals remind me one broadcasting logo before some TV shows on one Russian TV channel in 90's.

Ah so it's not "Fuck Ugh I'm dancin" it's "Fuck,Wha(t) Ugh, I'm mad as hell". Okaaay
Hearing the vocal more clearly now it doesn't sound like an Industrial/EBM vocal but an old soul/funk vocal.
Who have they sampled? ??? I bet it's a name we know.

Sounds like the same voice Csar, but where's the exact sample?
Ahh I think it's around 3.48 on the 12". I think "say what" has been edited down. The Ugh is at 3.50.
Here's the 12" version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QLA0Y99GXw
That's from 1977. I wonder if it was influenced by Network (film) from 1976?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdQCPlAZjbY
WhoSampled references it to the Network as well, but imo it sounds different somehow. The "wha" part is also missing assuming it's taken from the same source material.

Spot on! I skipped through the track and actually thought it was an instrumental :D There it is!
It will be interesting to see how this new snippet is connected to the first teaser.
I'm pretty confident that this track will be epic.
Soulwax/2 Many DJs have used this sample too. The Disco mix from Radio Soulwax comes straight to mind as I've listened to that a few times, it drops in after Tiga's track from memory closer towards the end of the mix.
At 49:17 it kicks in and shows the album cover:

Also, the speech from Network is used in DnB sometimes
I cannot remember what songs atm, but most likely some artist on Hospital
I'm trying think of the order these snippets are in EBW12 as a whole. Maybe the 2nd teaser (mad as hell) is more at the start and then gets crazy with the dark laughter with the 1st video? Although we know they like to change up the sequencing of the generic build up of electronic music so it could be reversed too. you never know with an EBW thats the beauty of it I suppose.
now we just need an Art of Noise sample

P. S. The synth in the laughing vid is very reminiscent of the XTC remix
I actually think it's the other way around. Laughing at the beginning and the lyrics as a chorus. But I've been wrong so many times...
Since the Creepy Mask Group looks scary and smug in the fist segment, but scared once Mad King Puppy shows up, it would make sense that the they also appeare in that order in the song.
As a narrative it would make more sense than going from scared to smug.
Any thoughts on when the song will be released? I'm hoping for next week, in line with the start of their tour!
I found these guys on SpongeBob! :D

Good point. B sides from the past have shown they have gone with a build up then break it down again to something simple then build it up again. Though when I saw the 2nd one I thought of Aphex Twins Come to Daddy film clip where the group go back to there leader and maybe thats what makes them evil.

Oh you've gone unlisted. Let's see how that works out for you. If they read the forum...perhaps not so well! Might also be a good idea to ask readers of this thread not to share the YT link publicly elsewhere.
The cartoonish vocals around 0.16- 0.36. Sampled? Animal Collective?
*EDIT* It's not Animal collective it's Mbola from (aka) Pygmy Music. (https://www.discogs.com/Aka-Aka-Pygmy-Music/master/959962) Reminds me of Transglobal Underground.
Anyone realised the laughing at the start in the live recording is different and more human than the original teaser which was more psychopathic with more effects and looped more? Either they wanted to make the teaser different or it goes a lot longer in the studio recording like some other EBWs perhaps?

Actually, no.

Wondering if this is the case as well.
The jump from the sound of heckling mask people to the "I'm Mad as Hell" guy seems rushed upon further listening. I wonder why the heckling sound effect/visual isn't reprised in the track too.
How are EBW vinyl usually distributed? What's the best way to get a hold of a copy early on?
Also, what's taking so long with EBW12? It's been almost 3 months since they first teased it. Is this normal compared to past EBW releases?
Not normal at all! They have always been released on June 1st. Which probably means that a very, very small number were pressed and circulated maybe just to friends of the Chems. OR it means they decided, for some reason, to wait until later and push the focus onto 'Free Yourself'.
Either way, the wait is weird, and the order of releasing is weird.
BUT.
It's September next weekend, which is supposedly the month we get the full 'Free Yourself', so it's not all bad news!
Hi LLG and welcome to the forum!
Good question and good answer from Enjoyed. Damn, I'm biting my nails here too. Maybe they were not yet satisfied with it (although that would bag the question of why teasing it then in the first place) or maybe it was, like another forumite suggested, to throw something out there to promote their current tour/ create awareness for potential gigs showing their availabilty to booking agents of festivals and gigs.
Hi guys,
I redesigned the mask and its ready for 3d print. But im missing some areas such as the sides and the rear, do anyone have photos of that mask to make it complete? Also there are some details i need to fix to make it more accurate, let me know what you think
sample is on the link below:

You need to click at the user's profile picture, when there's a story there is also a rainbow coloured circle around it. Stories disappear after some time, unless the uploader chooses to make them permanent.

Maybe we'll get a proper video in six months time... :-X
Anyone remember me mentioning the shoulder-mounted pro cameras in the Ally Pally Live thread back in October? If you pause the above video at 0.55 you can see the side walls of Alexandra Palace, so this footage is definitely from the Ally Pally gigs.
As mentioned on Facebook (what happened to the forum Explud??), there are a couple of bits we heard on (1) a teaser clip and (2) Ed's instagram story, which can't be heard here. I'm maintining my belief that those bits will be in the EBW version. We shall see...
The Pygmy Music sample at the start is taken from This compilation (https://www.discogs.com/Aka-Aka-Pygmy-Music/master/959962) which was I believe, also raided by Transglobal Underground on their early 90's records (International Times).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIJ9A8eV5QE
I'm a bit disappointed that this version of MAH sounds just chopped from the album segue (or indeed the live version as Expud says), and that we don't have a "proper" video. I think I would have liked some more vocals too; it almost feels like a dub mix. Nice to finally have the track though.
Hell Yeah , Lovin the 5:38 version , heavy Chemical Beats indeed , . .
The title MAH sounds a little bit like meh.
The track is too short. The video is waaaay to short.
But Holy Spongebob Squarepants On A Cracker With Sprinkles On Top. What a monster! :music
Absolutely fantastic!
There definitely has to be a 7+ minute EBW version, there is that other "bit" that they do twice that is too short
4 out of 6 the options on this Link (https://thechemicalbrothers.lnk.to/MAH) are stream/play rather than download/buy.
I've also checked Beatport, Juno Download and Amazon.
I can only find the track on one out of those three (Amazon),and as MP3 only.
Can't find WAV/FLAC anywhere at the moment. Mind you, if the track has literally just been culled from the Album segue, we may as well wait for the Album. Not much incentive to buy this track by itself at the moment.
takes me back to mexicooooooooooooo
Pretty good track overall. I like hearing those flashes of techno as it definitely gives it a lift to more of an EBW feel than the last two battle weapons imo.
No sign of a 12' yet.
The track is pretty fucking smashing!
My only gripe, and this is dating back when we initially heard it's live debut, I feel like the transition from sinister laughing to MAH vocal is way too sudden. Additionally, the sinister laughing bit gives the song atmosphere but doesn't make a reprise. When we were teased back in June (July?) this was a significant mood setter for the track and it strange it doesn't get better use.
I've said this before, but to give some closure to Chem-verse storylines. They should have Nien Nunb looking MAH guy on the phone with angry neighbor in Elektrobank. One is "Mad as Hell" the other is wondering "Who is dis doin' this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?"
I love this track and am hyped to hear it live in person
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH4mats5f-U&ab_channel=VariousArtists-Topic
No excerpt from june's teaser is heard sadly (nor is there any difference from the Live version) which to be honest would've worked as the outro, but A good track.
(https://i.imgur.com/KozF4e1.png)
nice
the technical production skill on BITE and these new tracks in particular is amazing..i imagine this is how tom and ed must have dreamed of come with us and push the button sounding—some of those tracks would be so great produced at RAR these days..
I have not listened to live stuff (for any great length of time) so I don't have that comparative angle with Mad As Hell.
But Jesus H Christ what a monster! I love it! It's angry, it's in your face, it gets the heart racing the way Horsepower does. I love it's sinister edge, and the visual is really freaky, the way the acid clowns are freaky. Is that the Brexit troll? :)) :music
I love it. I can't wait to go driving with this at full volume.

The end section kicks ass nicely, although it still feels like it was abruptly chopped with a knife, when I would have preferred a more natural sounding end.
I guess if I were in Whirly's position above, I might just be excited about MAH, but having heard it before, the nit-pick side of me is coming out.
At 1.21 and again at 3.49 after the last "ain't gonna take it no more" of the build-up, I feel that the instrumental "take off/release" could have actually packed more punch - perhaps with a different mix. In fact I kinda thought that when it was live too, but the full-on live visuals/lights sort of compensate for it. And you know that the track
could have packed more punch instrumentally because it does so in the closing section.
Mad As Hell that I can't buy a 12" and am unarmed for battle.

Wasn't this also present on GTA5's Nightclub side missions? I swear I heard this before
After listening to MAH a million times and loving it, I've come to the conclusion that it's the closest thing to Hey Boy Hey Girl they've ever done. In terms of track structure I mean.
Once the track properly gets going once that singing at the start has finished it's got the same build up and flow as hbhg and is as acidy and similar rhythms and just uses a simple yet effective sample.

This song should be listened to in ultimate darkness. And when the vocal part begins it sounds like there's some guy right in the center of your head and he is shouting "I'M MAD AS HELL! LET ME OUT OF YOUR FUCKING HEAD! I AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT NO MORE!". And then when the acid line begins it means that this guy is hitting the walls of the skull.

4 out of 6 the options on this Link (https://thechemicalbrothers.lnk.to/MAH)
Thank you so much for this link!
MAH is stellar, I'm really excited for proper version and upcoming chemical stuff! ;D
I've said I would wait for album to drop, but I just couldn't help myself and I'm glad I did,
this got me excited so much, I got chemical butterflies! Man! I feel good stuff coming our way! :music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSEeJJj1gbs
still think of this song every time (this is a great album, overall)
This is what I've been waiting for.
And what I feel Tom and Ed have been trying to get at for the last decade, starting with XTC and Nothing but Pleasure and continuing with EML Ritual and Reflexion - the absolutely perfect mechanical synthy clubby acid madness track.
It is a necessity that a 7+ minute EBW version of this is released.
The production is so pristine, the dynamic range is huge and quality of everything in the mix is enormous, yet unlike Free Yourself nothing about this song is polite, and that's what makes it so fantastic. I like Free Yourself, but like SIFSD, it's a little forgettable as it fails to really go wild and over your head in favor of perfect mixing and arrangement. This goes wild. This is not pinned down, dissected, and understood. This is operating on instinct. This kicks ass.
Guys. I've been listening, quite literally, non-stop to MAH today. I listened on my speaker while I worked. I listened on headphones. I listened while driving my my car. I listened while I went to the gym all mad about the holiday weight I'm trying to burn off, haha And I'm sure I've probably jacked up my hearing (even more) that I probably should have. :p
Anyway, MAH is everything I love about the Chemical Brothers' less swimmy/oceanic/dreamy/heavy-textured/massive soundscape side. MAH cuts a perfect picture of their hard hitting, loud, commanding, sinister and angry side. The stuff that feels good to dance to, and listen to at dangerous ear shattering levels. I fucking love it.
The production is everything WhiteNoise describes. It's so crisp, it just snaps in your face. Let me say again - I fucking love it.
https://instagram.com/p/BsfgwXNnLkT/
Haha, yeah, they just mentioned that in their Desert Island mix.
Listening to the show right now, but we're not into the chems right now
I <3 CWU & PTB
so let's get clear! i think DYOH (+surrender) and BITE (+beyond) represent extraordinary technical accomplishments: sampler, filter, & synthi heaven and then spatiality, drum machine, & synth heaven, respectively. hence i'm not taking aim at songwriting but really just thinking about bits and details here and there in, say, afrika, galaxy bounce, my elastic eye, denmark,the test, hia, ebw6/7, base 6, nude night, and then hold tight, [almost all of] come inside, the big jump, marvo ging.
(✿◠‿◠)
MAH feels like a real technical refinement of loops of fury / believe (/ etc?) ilk.

we're getting a vinyl version of Free Yourself and an EBW version of MAH!!!!!

Do we think these will be DJ friendly 'unmixed' versions? Or just the album versions on each side of an acetate?

It does work in the UK. Fourteen pounds. I haven't checked to see if postage is extra.
Would prefer to walk into Phonica and just buy it for £8 like I did with EBW11.

WHOOP!
Well we knew there was an EBW version, hence the title of this thread. I guess it's not gonna be on the standard EBW label with a plain sleeve.
The forthcoming CD album is listed as £9.99 on the Chemstore, so this is actually more expensive! I'll probably get it anyway.
This vinyl release is also listed on the chemstore. In fact, that's what the (uk) link is that they put on instagram.

I'm cool.
Even though this looks really nice, I hope they go a different direction with their album design. Looks a bit too plain and we already had black/white themes (FY looked similar) with BITE, Further and DYO. I'd like to see something more psychedelic or imaginative.

Yes please! I want to Free myself from the same old B&W.
EDIT: Got my copy
First off, extremely happy this is happening. But if I can say something about the cost...
From the US store, shipping from Astralwerks is ridiculous. I don't mind putting out a few more dollars out for any Chemical Brother creation. But ~$10 for shipping, to bring it to a grand total (after taxes) of $30.50 for a 2 sided single is not good.
Better off buying in bulk and distributing amongst us.
Jeez. I just about persuaded my wife that it was OK for my to spend 20 bucks on a vinyl I wont be able to play until I go back to the UK, but another 10...
I could be persuaded to go in on a bulk order. How much would it save do you think?
Depending how you distribute, USPS Media Mail within the United States is an economical method to ship amongst Americans at about ~$3 a package.
The trick is, the more you purchase, the cheaper the overall shared price is. This is due to an apparently flat shipping fee of $10.70. So for example, the cost of shipping a bulk order of 25 records cost the same as 1.
So for a small bulk order of 5 records, the total comes to $107. Divide that by 5 people, it comes to $21.40. Add distribution cost (USPS Media Mail) ~$3. Which makes a final price of ~$24.40 per person shipped. So about $6 savings, not great, but still something. Also, distribution cost could be bypassed too. We could disperse albums from a bulk order at an upcoming concert/meetup. But I know not everyone is patient.
Long story short. Shipping should not be 35% of total cost to ship a record within its respective country.
Oof, £21 delivered to Australia.
Ordered.
Just ordered my copy! The Chems are one of maybe three artists that I will happily drop the dollars for. Especially for that EBW version of MAH!! I am so thrilled
what day IS the vinyl dropping, Im so excited Im checking sites daily
This says 1st of March.
(Can someone tell the Chems to stop using emojis cos they don't embed on the forum? ^-^ )

They're breaking EBW tradition here by a) not using a 1 June release date, b) not using the standard EBW vinyl labels, and c) not titling the single "Electronic Battle Weapon [X]".
I found the catalog number (CHEMST 32) in this image (https://dvfnvgxhycwzf.cloudfront.net/media/SharedImage/imageFull/.fCmDCShW/SharedImage-86829.jpg?t=0f1e13e34754be0679eb), but it's probably an early draft and will end up being CHEMSTDJ32 like all of the other EBWs.
From what I'm reading on the ordering/purchasing links, the Virgin EMI vs. Astralwerks vinyl releases are going to be different in terms of the track order and number of tracks per side, but this may just be due to misinformation provided to the record labels.
Virgin EMI - 12" (Double A Side)
A1: MAH (Electronic Battle Weapon Version)
A2: Free Yourself
Astralwerks - 12"
A: Free Yourself
B: MAH (Electronic Battle Weapon Version)

RIP!
I'm just listening back to this clip of the 2017 version (https://www.instagram.com/p/BaUtzE7BahF/) of MAH, with the laughing in a later part of the track (than the 5.37 version), and I'm still hopeful that this is part of the EBW version.
Does anyone have any other clips of the track from that DJ tour?
I'm considering the inclusion of EBW12 here to be more like Don't Stop the Rock on the Elektrobank single, or EBW7 on Galvanize.
It's not the solo EBW12 we're getting, alas. I'd be SO on it if it was. I'm still a little reluctant to spend the money on it in its current form.

I too would like to have the stand-alone EBW as well. The tradition of having these records for DJs should still be kept!
I admit the MAH/FY is pricey!
I really hope they have this as a build up (the 2nd(?) teaser from way back) in the EBW version and that its longer than 15sec.

How in the world there's a production delay when I pre-ordered the damn thing? My pre-order was supposed to give these companies a heads up for the demand of MAH/FY and know how many copies to produce. What the flying fuck?

Yeah, that's not fair at all. They barely have anything in their web-shop at Astralwerks, and this is how they handle a PRE-ORDERED item? They should refund shipping (which was astronomical) at the very least. I didn't like the idea of pre-ordering the album/single from the get-go, and knowing this happened, I'm glad I saved myself the headache.
You should try calling them. I know, you shouldn't be in that position in the first place, but that is poor costumer service if they haven't offered any type of compensation/resolution.
Sounds like you got the
true MAH experience on this one...

Should've taken your advice earlier though. Ill look into it again about the shipping.

And? And? How (different) is the EBW version? How dare you not sharing this immediately with us! And by the way, according to your post here (https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,1125.msg16739.html#msg16739), you already got this on January 18?!?
my preorder purchase was on jan 18! Been meaning to share with you guys but life gets in the way!
arrangement is different. the biggest differences are:
1) It starts off with the core meat and potatoes quickly for a surprise.
2) the beginning of MAH (as seen from the other MAH youtube vids) doesn't kick in till after 2:40 in the vinyl version.
3) Ends with 'I aint gonna take it no more' with a echoing drain.
Oh and FY is still the regular 5 min version
Was trying to rip it but I just barely found out that my laptop doesn't have a line-in to connect to my turntable :( (all my proper gear is in storage so no other way to get this done.)

Wait until EBW20 is released, and then all the EBW's will be on a best of bonus disc.
Until then, in four years they'll release The Singles 03-23 with some unreleased, hard to find & behind the couch tracks on disc 2 and all the music videos on the dvd/bluray

Nothing wrong with preferring digital vs vinyl. Both are good at this point in time!
And yeah, this EBW version is really popping.
Mine arrived yesterday, in Australia. Top effort on the delivery times!
I naively assumed the MAH battle weapon version would just be the full version rather than the shorter version with the live visuals that was originally put on Youtube. Super keen to give it a listen now I know it lives up to it's EBW name!
Agreed that the EBW version is madder as hell, but I understand why they might want a shortened version for the album. The EBW soon might sound too long around the other tracks and disrupt the flow unless it was some sort of mid or finale climactic track for the for the album (think SSU, S2A TPPR...)
Thanks for sharing!🙏
Yep, the battle weapon version is fucking h u u u u u u u g e! Definitely deserves the EBW name. And I have to say the track makes much more sense to me in this format too. The first drop from the original coming later makes way more sense.
Love how it just bangs in after the laughing, and how the vocal is used for the mid breakdown/build instead of as an intro.
It's like a track from DYOH if DYOH was done today. Hard aggressive Chems Bros at their absolute finest 👌
It's not how I imagined it. I thnk the bit around 2.50 is what Ed put on his insta story a couple of times. I imagined that bit being the intro and then building more gradually than the "normal" MAH. The melodic break that comes in around 1.03 (or 1.00 on my rip) feels like it should be later in the track for me.
I like the fact that EBW12 is longer but I'm not sure if it's actually better.
EBW 12
