There is a daily poll on Twitter to find people's favourite Chemical Brothers' track. I could see this generating some interesting debate along the way. Make sure you join in to have your opinion heard.

Hi ElectronicBattle, and welcome to the forum!
If you want to post tweets, just put the link in your post, you don't need any additional formatting (unless you use emoticons in your tweets, those mess up the automation script we're using for some reason).
Have fun on here.

Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to seeing what goes on on the forum.
Not that I voted for it, but I was a little disappointed to see 0% for Lost In The K Hole

No Galaxy Bounce, and Got Glint? didn't beat HBHG?
Sad times.
Galaxy Bounce would have been my choice too. :(
Only 2 can make the game from Further?

Further was originally released as an 8-track album so that will be in a round with 2 groups of 4.
I'll include Don't Think in the final group in Round 1 with a selection of tracks that weren't on the original studio albums. Stuff from their singles and soundtracks.
*** Change of plan. Don't Think is going into a 3-group split from Further. Just need to redo the singles/soundtrack group now and I'm sorted. ***

You can close voting before it even starts on 'We Are The Night'. The way you have the bracket built, it isn't getting past any 3 of the 'Dig Your Own Hole' tracks who have continued on.
Are we taking bets on this? My stimulus check is burning a hole in my pocket.

You never know. The Salmon Dance might yet pull off an upset in that group.
I'm here for the Salmon Dance victory lap, but pitting it against anything from Dig Your Own Hole is still a waste of time.
Kidding aside, thanks for creating a fun poll.
Oh, and why is Brotherhood in there but not Singles 93-03 or Hannah?
Quote from: ThePumisher on May 15, 2020, 09:12

The singles from Singles 93-03 that weren't on any studio album will be in the last group in round 1 along with a selection of tracks from Hanna. I just went with the image of the Brotherhood album cover to represent a mix of tracks from singles and soundtracks.

I think the lead has changed on that poll since yesterday too. Definitely a few closer results for this album.

I've done my part. Satan won't seduce me with a ruckus club track that invokes imagery of Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis grinding on each other. Absolutely sickening!
Yeah but should Don't Think even be on there?

Depends on whether you go with the track list as released or the Spotify version. I had a change of mind based on feedback here and opted for the latter to have 3 groups of 3. The alternative was to put in the final group of round 1 on Monday.

What's the Spotify Version? I know the US-only Itunes version + the regular deluxe or digital version. Is there a difference to the Spotify version?

The CD version release in the UK & Ireland had 8 tracks. On Spotify, Don't Think appears as track 9.

Ok, so it's the standard digital version, and also the deluxe disc version. The Itunes US Version has as track 9 Don't Think and as track 10 Pourquoi

I didn't want to put too many options in the Hanna poll to keep it in line with other polls and Container Park didn't make the final list of 4. Sorry! :(
Seeing Miguel in that list gives me some taste of honey :D
Which version of Keep My Composure is up for vote? The Heroes-version (which i think is a tiny bit better) or the Brotherhood-version?
Where can i vote for Velodrome?

Sorry for the delayed reply. The Brotherhood version was the one I had in mind for Keep My Composure. I didn't include Velodrome as I can't find it on the big steaming services these days. Not sure how long it was available digitally after the Olympics finished. Any idea?

Looks like the finale will be between the Reel and TSU, and I'd say that's a pretty fair battle.
I never got to see SG and GTKO duke it out! Oh well! Lets go TEAM STAR GUITAR! 'crosses fingers'

Gosh, i wish someday i will go to one of the Chems gigs and will catch Guitar Tuned To D (or just 2004/2005 live version) w/ Snow vocals.
But generally, Star Guitar is the best of the best everytime.
You just.. should feel ))))

That would be awesome, but i sadly accept that i never see/hear this "in real life" :'(
Mr Rowlands, Mr Simons, Mr DJ, if you read this: if i ever see you live again you have to play this, it's not optional. This, and Brothers Gonna Work It Out (vocal sample) / Dust Up Beats / Loops Of Fury / Breaking Up - also no option on this!
Erol's take:
(https://s20.directupload.net/images/241031/6nslf5h6.jpg)
Even Errol knows that the Star Guitar is the best ;D
The only way that list gets any better, is with the addition of Galaxy Bounce (Tomb Raider Version).
Im a complete philistine when it comes to Star Guitar, really does nothing for me.
The rest of that list is pretty spot on.
For me, Chemical Beats is numero uno. Its the track that got me into the Chems, it was the last track on a Cream cd that I had (the one with with a Cream logo spaceship on the cover) and have been hooked ever since.
Other notable tracks are
It Doesnt Matter
Elektrobank
Escape Velocity
Come With Us
EBW 7
Fuck Up Beats
Got Glint
Not Another Drugstore
Feels Like Im Dreaming
I was only going to post 1 or 2 more but just kept thinking of tracks I couldnt leave out ;D
