The Chemical Brothers, uno de los dúos más icónicos de la música electrónica, se formó en Manchester, Inglaterra, en 1989. Sus integrantes, Tom Rowlands y Ed Simons, se conocieron mientras estudiaban en la Universidad de Manchester. Ambos compartían un amor por la música alternativa, el indie rock y la escena rave emergente de la época.
La pareja comenzó tocando en pequeños clubes y fiestas bajo el nombre de The Dust Brothers, en referencia a los productores estadounidenses del mismo nombre. No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que captaran la atención del público con sus eclécticos sets de DJ y su habilidad para mezclar géneros diversos como el hip hop, el techno y el house.
En 1992, tras una disputa legal con los Dust Brothers originales, Tom y Ed adoptaron el nombre de The Chemical Brothers. Publicaron su primer sencillo, Song to the Siren, que rápidamente se convirtió en un éxito en la escena rave británica. Su sonido, caracterizado por baterías potentes y sintetizadores envolventes, era diferente a todo lo que se había escuchado antes.
Su álbum debut, Exit Planet Dust, lanzado en 1995, consolidó su reputación como innovadores en la música electrónica. Con himnos como Leave Home y Life Is Sweet, el álbum fue bien recibido tanto por críticos como por fanáticos, estableciendo a The Chemical Brothers como líderes del Big Beat, un subgénero que fusiona elementos del breakbeat, el rock y el techno.
En 1997, lanzaron su segundo

Ohhhh can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Can you hear me now
Yeah am I coming through
Am I coming through
Is it sweet and pure and true?
Devil came by this morning,
Said he had
Something to show me
I was looking like I'd never seen a face before
Here we go now let's slide in through the open door
Pictures and things that I done before
Circling around me
Out here on the floor
I'm dreaming of this and I'm dreaming of that
Regretting nothing think about that
Seeing waves breaking forms on my horizons
Yeah I'm shining
Seeing waves breaking forms on my horizons
Lord I'm shining
Oh are you hearing me like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me like I'm hearing you
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain what I've seen
I'm happy now i'm too late
To find that the images are fading away
Seeing waves breaking forms on my horizons
Yeah I'm shining
Seeing waves breaking forms on my horizons
Lord I'm shining
Oh are you hearing me like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me like I'm hearing you
You know I almost lost my mind
I can't explain where I've been
You know I almost lost my mind
I couldn't explain the things I'd seen
But now I think I see the light
Now I think I see the light
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Lend me your hand
Seeing waves breaking forms on my horizons
Yeah I'm shining
Seeing waves breaking forms on my horizons
Lord I'm shining
Oh are you hearing me like I'm hearing you
Oh are you hearing me like I'm hearing you
You know I almost lost my mind
But now I'm home and I'm free
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?

Oh my my my mind
You better go defend now
Or you better go to bed now
You better go defend now
Or you better go to bed now
You better go defend now
Or you better go to bed now
You better go defend now
Or you better go to bed now
You better go defend now
Or you better go to bed now
You better go defend now
Or you better go to bed now
(Am I coming through?)
(Am I coming through?)
My heart and my soul they are free
My heart and my soul they are free
You know I almost lost my mind
But now I'm home and I'm free
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
Did I pass the acid test?
