RESPONSE
By DARRYL STERDAN



MUSIC: RESPONSE
Chemical Brothers
(Astralwerks / EMI)

"Music should trigger some kind of response," explains the sampled voice on the leadoff track of the Chems' new EP. In this case, that response would definitely be a delayed reaction. And not just because that titular cut is straight off their Surrender album. Along with that, you also get two remixes of the song that really don't add much, along with a couple of leftover B-sides that can only be described as pretty standard Big Beat, down to the thumping bass drums and buzzy, swirling vibes. But it isn't until 35 minutes into this sucker that the beef finally appears in the form of two dynamic, kinetic live versions of Out of Control and Got Glint?, recorded at Glastonbury last summer. They'll get your head nodding and your butt moving. That's the response the Brothers' music should trigger.
