JOE’s album of the week – Chemical Brothers, Born In The Echoes

Considered as one of the most influential dance acts of all time - Chemical Brothers prove they are untouchable as kings of dance music.

Sticking with the same drops, builds and rhythm changes that have been making us dance hard and sweat profusely for the last 20 years, Born In The Echoes, out now, is a must-listen. I read a great quote saying Tom Rowland and Ed Simons have a "magic way of making machines sing", eight albums down and they're still managing it. The psychedelic pop title track, Go featuring Q-Tip, which is fast becoming the tune of the summer, and Reflexion featuring Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon are favourites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2RPDZkY88 Ritual, isn't one I'd skip either... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_jIGgB5NyQ And of course there's also Sometimes I Feel So Deserted, which premiered earlier this year... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OUqqsXVmlc The Chems' Glastonbury performance was unprecedented, taking us to a place where other dance acts failed due to their back catalogue of hits coupled with their insanely slick visuals. Before you buy a copy, pop this on but make sure you have a towel... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRyScKZTT5E
