It& #39;s time to take a break. Grab your headphones and let& #39;s go on an audio adventure for eight minutes and forty seconds. One of many of the easily missed masterpieces from @chembros (and one of my all time favourites). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IykWbUVDWL8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

If you& #39;re thinking "that& #39;s a pretty amazing album cover", you& #39;re right. It& #39;s by the wonderful Kate Gibb, a London-based silkscreen artist that defined the visual language that made Surrender such a strange yet familiar universe. https://crackmagazine.net/article/long-reads/meet-kate-gibb-the-artist-behind-the-chemical-brothers-surrender-artwork/">https://crackmagazine.net/article/l...

I love the cover so much I bought one of the lithographs when Gibb did a limited anniversary release (rediscovered recently when unpacking the studio put in storage when I moved to France). Here& #39;s Richard Young& #39;s original photo which Gibb used as source: https://www.richardyounggallery.co.uk/products/jesus-amongst-fans-olympia-music-festival-london-1976">https://www.richardyounggallery.co.uk/products/...

And if the art direction doesn& #39;t pull you into a creative rabbit hole, this might. Meet the Synthi, a vintage English synthesiser as quirky as it is nearly impossible to find. And perhaps a secret weapon of the Chemical Brothers sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUbCbQIt58M">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Ending this thread right: meet @Steve_Dub. Back in my music days I& #39;d wonder "how did Steve do that" when struggling to tame a mixdown. Working with incredible engineers over a band& #39;s life is a secret weapon often ignored in the disposable digital age. https://www.lbbonline.com/news/behind-the-mixing-desk-with-record-producer-steve-dub">https://www.lbbonline.com/news/behi...
