The Night Time is the Right Time for Chemicals!


Chemical Brothers - We Are the Night
The Chemical Brothers have always done a great job of summing up whatever is going on around them in the world of music. "We Are the Night" continues this tradition, bringing the best bits of the current landscape of electronica, dance, and the spawning habits of salmon together as one cohesive piece of work. Seriously, "The Salmon Dance," with guest vocals by Fatlip, is probably the funniest song released in 2007. Other guests who show up on "We Are the Night" include Willy Mason, Klaxons, Ali Love, and Midlake.
This week's featured track, "A Modern Midnight Conversation," borrows some dreamy vocals from Barbara & Ernie's 1972 psychedelic folk song "Listen To Your Heart," and adds a little cowbell (which can never be the wrong thing to do). Get "We are the Night" on CD for $14.99 or as an ultra cool 2 record set for $18.99
