Album Notes
Full Title: Brother's Gonna Work It Out: A DJ Mix Album By The Chemical Brothers.
BROTHER'S GONNA WORK IT OUT is a continuous in-the-mix recording by The Chemical Brothers.
The Chemical Brothers: Tom Rowlands, Ed Simons.
How do you escape the dreaded curse of the "follow up"? If you're Tom and Ed Chemical, you forget about making a "new" record for a while, and give the party people a meticulously constructed mix-tape for their evenings of frenzied house-rocking. After all, before they became electronica's messengers to the masses, the Chemicals DJed historic parties at the London club Social, jump-starting the UK's techno breakbeat movement while defining their own hip-hop-meets-the-funky-rock-beats aesthetic (documented on the similar-minded import, LIVE AT THE SOCIAL, VOL.1).
Hence, BROTHERS is packed with the finest dance-floor jammies in Tom and Ed's vinyl crates, spiced with some vintage blaxploitation soundtrack grooves, weaved in and out of the Brothers' lysergic remixes of far gone and out rockers like Spiritualized. The result is a non-stop, thoroughly worked out groove, bruised by two-ton beats, dosed with hallucinatory sampledelia--sweat-inducing to say the least.
Editorial Reviews
Included in AP's 10 Essential DJ-Mix Albums - Encompassing their love for old-school funk, minimal techno, big beats and rock riffs....this lays the sum of their parts out plainly for all to see - and to frug like crazy to.
Alternative Press (10/01/2000)
...Chemicals...use their booth to bury the original jams in their own technofied style....The Brothers' tweak beats within inches of your speakers lives...
Vibe (12/01/1998)
...BROTHERS, the Chemicals' second DJ disc, assembles more than an hour of nonstop, seamlessly stitched-together snippets of old R&B, disco clap tracks, Latin beats, and random sound bites. Alternately fun and monotonous, it's little more than the world's grooviest jogging tape. - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (09/25/1998)
7 (out of 10) - ...the album...deviates from Big Beat's well-hammered agenda, panning out into austere house and moments of pure light....BROTHERS GONNA [is] a journey from Big Beat's drum-crashing core right out to the fringes of dreamy progressive ambience...
Spin (10/01/1998)
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - ...a wicked tapestry of fresh sounds, boomeranging grooves and aggressive fuzz....The Chemicals' music descends like a filmy rain of a zillion fine, tiny pieces of combined and recombined beats, phrases...and repeating riffs...
Rolling Stone (09/03/1998)
