thanks, Mongoose, for the link.

it's hard to get a feel for this track in 2 minutes or so - yes, it definitely has the possibility of growing into an epic album closer, and i hope that whatever song makes the cut is indeed epic! At any rate, it's cool to know that the Chems have been tinkering with tracks for several years, just like our beloved Underworld. The Brothers are often slagged off as cheesy dance or populist electro, but i'm recalling interviews in the keyboard and remixing spheres where Tom & Ed admitted to being very much the eggheads and perfectionists when it came to producing sounds.
I never felt that they were "dullard geniouses" or disposable, but rather were really electro geniouses who sometimes fell victim to the demands of a fickle public who wanted more guest vocalists and streamlined beats/melodies.
