The Chemical Brothers faced the new millennium the same way they would sunrise at a rave: delivering relentless dance music. Surrender, their third album, saw release twenty years ago; a superb deluxe box set now offers a deeper dive into the classic album. The album’s fourth single, “Out Of Control,” featured New Order‘s Bernard Sumner and Primal Scream‘s Bobby Gillespie, and one of the highlights of the box set is an epic remix. At 21 minutes long, it might seem a bit much, but in fact it’s quite a handy pocket rave. It’s the sort of song you turn on and instantly you’re dancing somewhere in a field near Hampshire.
