A thread to discuss concepts that you think The Chemical Brothers should explore/produce.
I'll go first...
Chemical Brothers Themed Pinball Game
Absolutely not a get rich idea, but wouldn't that be the tits?! They absolutely have all the signature sounds and visuals to create one epic pinball playfield. Even a virtual themed pinball board would be a delight.
Actual George & Mildred wind-up toy robots, prolly through collaboration with some toy or collectable company but it'd be cool to be able to buy wind-up robots with the designs of the robots from the live show, a bit of past and present
Maybe different colors like those tour posters! (https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a0/02/fa/a002fa9f706b1cee8f44a5565d3ef452.jpg)

Given how robots are a staple of their visuals since decades, I'm honestly not surprised that they haven't created this merch, it's such a no-brainer.
Hey Chems HQ, it's George's and Mildred's 10th anniversary this year, would be the perfect opportunity ;)

After reading this: does anyone remember the Push The Button / Galvanize Game where you had to throw records at an alien? I think it was totally Flash-based
A couple of months before a new show , Tom and Ed put out a vote ( via the Chems website ) , which old track(s) from a list , fans would like to see included in the set , . . the most popular track(s) get included in the new show , . . . ( basically , i just wanna see / hear Burst Generator again ).

We all know we have to vote for K+D+B, no question. But we also have to vote for Dust-Up Beats / Loops Of Fury as opener. (and for TKN coming back)
GALAXY BOUNCE LIVE?!??!
Funko Pop! Vinyl figurines (circa East Village Pharmacy era) would be hilarious
Trading Cards are a hot hobby again, and a Chemical Brother inspired set would be fun. They could base their set on the comprehensive look into their career.
Sub-sets could include:
- Scenes from Music Videos / Making of Music Videos
- Photos from Important Live Dates
- Studio Photos / Behind the Scenes Photos
- Photos of Live Visuals / Making of Live Visuals / Motion Cards
- Album Art / Inner Sleeve Artwork
- Collaborators / Remixes
- Posters / Billboards / Magazines / Media
- Fan Art / 1 of 1 Art cards done in collaboration with fans or specific artists (Kate Gibb ;) )
And it doesn't have to be as straight forward as it sounds. Could be done in wide range of designs, concepts, and packaging. As time rolls on you can add more to original set via "booster packs" or additional "mini-sets".
Not entirely sure how popular this would be among Chemical Brother fans, but I've seen more obscure sets out there!

Will it include Frank the Boss and Studio Cat?

I don't see why it couldn't. Both are kinda "behind the scenes" worthy. Just depends if they want to share that personal side of family life beyond social media posts.
Does anybody else have Pokemon card kiosk/vending machines at their local grocery stores, or is this just my reality? I just saw one yesterday, and the machines are always out of stock thanks to manchilds trying to make a quick buck or shamelessly support an addictive hobby; leaving nothing for kids. Point is, there are a lot of people willing to pour money into something that would warrant a dedicated kiosk/vending machine. Even the sports card market is a continual growing billion dollar industry. There's plenty of room to take a chance on making a niche "Chemical Brothers" set.

@ThePumisher I loved that Galvanize flash game. The forced poorly text translation, similar to "all your base are belong to us", is such a great touch.
As far as i know we don't have such vending machines here in germany - at least i haven't seen one. Maybe this is a US thing?
A real idea from me and not responding to other peoples postings:
- Merchandise (like shirts or something) with a cool print - for example a red shirt with the CWU cover - but without the bands name on it
- a cool slipmath
