Exit Planet Dust [XDUST1]

[ThePumisher]

Now that the we all celebrated EPD's 30th birthday, how about an anniversary re-issue with plenty of unheard, unreleased, behind the couch and glorious live recordings?

What would you expect from a anniversary edition of EPD? How could the brothers gonna work it out? And will it it include Chicos Groove (Mix 3)?

I'll quote some stuff from WeißesRauschen =>

Here Come The Drums
Unheard - Wholly unreleased and unfinished, though rumors of it keep popping up. The funny thing is it could have already been released under a different name and we would never know.

Dopeness on a Pill
Unheard - Working title or unreleased track from the Exit Planet Dust sessions.

Just Dust
Unheard - Working title or unreleased track from the Exit Planet Dust sessions.

Just Say Yo
Unheard - Working title or unreleased track from the Exit Planet Dust sessions.

Peter the Bellboy
Unheard - a title dropped by Tom as a working title for something.

Bert in Africa
Unheard - another title dropped by Tom, who knows what this is.

Alive Alone (Coconut Dub)
Heard - A stripped down version  originally recorded in 1994 during the album sessions, which "nearly made it on the album", but was abandoned in favor of the released version. It was broadcast on Colin Murray's In The Company Of... show in 2007, in full with a little talking over the intro and outro.

Life Is Sweet (Extended Version / Early Version)
Heard - On their 1995 Essential Mix, mostly the same but with different mastering, a shorter intro, a longer bridge with extra radio transmission samples, and an extended outro.

Get Up On It Like This / Life Is Sweet (Mix 1) / Tow Truck Mash
Heard - The first part of the Unreleased BBC Mix 1996, aka the KDGE Dallas mix (it was a mix shipped out to a number of radio stations), ends with an extended Delik-esque jam incorperating early segments of Get Up On It Like This, the sample and beat from Dynamix II's Just Give The DJ A Break (sampled in Life Is Sweet (Mix 1)), and unfinished parts of their remix of Sabres of Paradise, which may have started as an original Chems demo before moving on to be completed as a remix.

Loops of Fury (Unknown Version)
Heard - A very different early version of Loops of Fury can be heard in the second part of the KDGE Dallas mix aka Unreleased BBC Mix, after Da Funk.

Let Me In Mate (Demo Versions)
Unheard - @ChemBros tweeted a picture of a found DAT tape that had two different mixes of Let Me In Mate along with three mixes of an unspecified song with vocals (probably either Life Is Sweet or Alive Alone).

The Stone Roses - Begging You
Unheard - A remix which "had potential", but was shelved mid-way through after The Stone Roses changed their minds.

Oasis - Unknown 94/95 song(s)
Unheard and disputed - Noel asked Tom and Ed to remix "a Balearic-inspired track" of his in early 1994, but later changed his own mind about it. Years later, Tom and Ed admitted to turning down an opportunity to remix Wonderwall due to their inexperience in 1994. The Chemical Brothers played Oasis' Live Forever in a dj mix in 1995 with a drum loop introducing the studio track, which maybe represented an extremely early attempt at remixing it. Confusingly, this drum-loop intro was bootlegged as a "Chemical Brothers edit" of Live Forever. In summary, The Chemical Brothers once slapped a drum loop on Live Forever and turned down remixing Wonderwall, and probably neither remix exists.

Sabres of Paradise - Tow Truck (early version)
Heard - While the original remix was definitely released, a short early version of it can be heard towards the end of the KDGE Dallas mix in a sort of "beat suite" mixed with parts of Get Up On It Like This and Dynamic II's Give The DJ A Break. It's very likely the remix started as an early Exit Planet Dust track before becoming the Tow Truck remix.
