Description
Reaching No.9 in the UK, it introduced big beat music as the club-filling mix of hip-hop and acid house had been christened to a mainstream audience, helping to fuel its dominance on the British dance scene as the 20th century came to a close. Opening with Leave Home, the Chems debut single and a swift UK Top 20 hit, the album also features collaborations with folktronica icon Beth Orton, on closing cut Alive Alone, and Charlatans frontman, Tim Burgess, on the albums second single, Life is Sweet, which took The Chemical Brothers back into the UK charts, hitting No.25 following its September 1995 release. Amid these standouts is a track that had already become a signature tune for the duo of Ed Simons and Tim Rowlands: Chemical Beats. Originally issued on the highly collectable Fourteenth Century Sky 12 EP issued in 1994 under the Chems earlier name, The Dust Brothers it had already become a club classic by the time of Exit Planet Dusts release, and, 30 years on, it still sounds huge on this 140g red- and gold-coloured double-vinyl reissue
