message: Did the Chemical Brothers actually produce the Fight Club Soundtrack? I must say I am rather confused. Both the Fight Club and Dust Brothers wikipedia articles say the Dust Brothers wrote it, but the opening credits of Fight Club says "Music by the Chemical Brothers"

message: Wasn't the Anti-Nazi Mix release a precursor to Brother's Gonna Work It Out?  I know it was a promo-only release, but I'm surprised that there is no mention of it in the entry for the band.
I'm surprised too. I think Brother's Gonna Work It Out basically deleted the Sgt. Pepper's remix because of copyright issues. But Anti-Nazi mix was the bomb, and it a lot of people got into the Chems before this commercial release occurred.
*It was. It needs some mentioning in the article (if there isn't any). It was a great mix, as mentioned above. T-95 (talk) 21:56, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Can someone explain to me what does "O level" mean? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Not everyone is familiar with British education system you know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.137.123.226 (talk) 19:01, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: At the same Turnmills gig, the Brothers also played a previously un-released song at midnight to welcome 2007 which went down well with the crowd
Not only is a citation needed as mentioned in the main article but more info would be nice on the name of the track played.
Many are left wondering if the latest in the Electronic Battle Weapon series were simply one off genius pieces or signal a new direction they could take with the new album, perhaps swaying from their genre defining 'big beat' psychedelic albums of the past.
I believe this is the authors POV as I think if anything the new album takes the Chems back to their roots after recent albums like Push the Button and Come with Us. -- RND  T  C  10:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Which is Which?

message: The photo in the "Live" section is terrible. It's a blurry mess of color, and you can't make out that there are people in it at all, much less the Chemical Brothers. Does anybody have a higher quality or generally better image that would illustrate the live performances of the Chemical Brothers? If not, I say the image gets deleted. -Lamarcus (talk) 09:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I didn't see anything related to this in the article.
I just got the We Are The Night 2 disc vinyl and in the middle of each disc is a phrase scribbled in with a number, for example:
Side C: ASW94158C Anyone for jerk chicken?
Side D: AWW94158D Dogs on Gunpowder
Anyone have anything to compare this to?
Thank you.

Right now there are ten short articles that have little scope for expansion. I propose that it would be better if they were all merged into a new article, something like Electronic Battle Weapon, and create a comprehensive article that doesn't require clicking into different pages. ~  ► Wykebjs ◄  (userpage | talk) 14:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I really want there to be an article of 'List of Chemical Brothers songs'. Muse have one, Radiohead have one, Queen have one etc. etc. the list goes on. As i don't have an account i can't do it myself and even if i get an account it would be a disaster trying to make one. So can anyone else start one.
There are three different types of song lists. I think it should be like the Radiohead one, which lists the songs in chronological order. the Queen one llists songs in alphabetical order and the Muse one listts them by album, single, B-Side, etc. etc. --213.83.125.225 (talk) 08:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a great idea, especially considering the Chems have plenty of non-album/obscure B-side tracks that the casual fan doesn't know about. And I too like the idea of using the Radiohead format, as it clearly indicates what release each song is from, including mutiple releases if necessary (this is definitely revelant to the Chems back catalogue). However I'm not sure that a list of Chemical Brothers songs would be notable enough to be on Wiki, as the Chemical Brothers haven't quite achieved the same level of success as Muse, Radiohead and Queen. Any thoughts? Demonofthefall (talk) 06:46, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, i think you gave a pretty good reason yourself why The Chemical Brothers should warrant a song list. And as for sucess, the band have had two UK #1s and, five UK #1 albums, and so on for their UK sucess. Whilst in the US, they did win a grammy.--90.210.196.87 (talk) 17:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  C Class deserving? (wikiproject electronic music) 

message: Since when did the Live section become a patchy list of all the recent gigs they've done? I think that it should be limited to their more notable appearences, e.g. Olympus 2008, the Roundhouse shows in 2010, Coachella 2009, etc.
It at least needs some cleaning up, it's looking pretty messy at the moment.
