New Chemical Brothers Video - "Midnight Madness"
The Chem Bros are about to release another retrospective singles compilation, although unlike 2003's Singles 93-03 which came packing a bonus disc only for early orders, this one's gonna be an official double LP. It's spanning 1995-2008, which means yes, new Chem Bros singles, like the forthcoming, Spank Rock featuring "Keep My Composure," as well as a collection of the entire Electronic Battle Weapon series. We heard "Electronic Battle Weapon 9" back in January of '07, and "Midnight Madness" is, technically, "EBW 10." Also the video is, technically, bonkers. Kanye's two sentence review:
YOU MUST SEE THIS!!!! HOW DID THEY DO IT??
He's right sometimes.
That's a special little goblin. I love the moments where you can't tell if he's just crazy agile or the CGI is in full effect. Brotherhood is slated for a 9/2 release on Astralwerks. Here's a tracklist (via Wiki):
CD 1
01 "Galvanize" (Radio Edit) (from Push The Button)

Great video!!
Score = 1
this is one of the coolest videos ever.
Score = 1
Goblin stole Spider-Man's powers and some breaker's skills?
Sick, yo.
Score = 1
great video but two versions of saturate and midnight madness? how about some private psychadelic reel or the test on that bitch?
Score = 0
i love this video, but this whole collection seems a bit spurious. half these songs were on the 93-03 collection. along with private psychedelic reel.
Score = 1
Regarding the video... what's Kanye SO blown away by? It is a good vid, but nothing outrageously special (nice to see Andy Serkis is still working;)... I was disappointed.
Regarding the CB new best-of... pointless (espeically that 2nd disc!)... everyone should own the orig albums... or the best-of from 03 if you're a "singles-minded" person.
Score = -1
agree with andrew, also radio edits fucking blow
remember: all their videos have an ed & tom appearance - didn't see one here
Score = 1
grover: they were in the cop car
Score = 0
Hello Parkour. Amazing vid. Def beats the shit out of that 3 Doors Down vid.
Score = 1
instead of buying "best of" albums, why not just buy their first two records and forgo all the crap that came after?
Score = -1
Impressive. 'Bout time some one (or something) gives Christopher Walken a run for his money!
Score = 1
check out as the doors open at the end, in the window . . . also this video isn't as good as the one on you tube posted by "dothesalmondance" this is like an old version or something.
