World, the time has come to galvanize.  The Chemical Brothers need no introduction, but for those who have been exploring deep space - electronic duo Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons have sat on the razor's edge of the dance music scene since their debut album "Exit Planet Dust", in 1995.  Since then, they've become responsible for such compilation favourites and radio floggings as "Leave Home", "Block Rockin' Beats", "Out Of Control" and "Hey Boy Hey Girl".

In 2002 the Chem's dropped "Come With Us", which was a return to the more underground style, shunning the pop-orientation of it's predecessor "Surrender" (pleasing as many as it pissed off).  With tracks like "It Began In Afrika" and "My Elastic Eye", it was safe to assume the album was more directed at the drug-laced dance floor than the radio (with the exception of the brilliant Richard Ashcroft collaboration "The Test").

Now they're back with their 5th studio album (for the elitists waiting to correct me, "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" was a DJ Mix Set - not a studio album), and to say the lads are in fine form is 2005's biggest understatement thus far.

Catchy first single (that's their job, right?) "Galvanize" sounds like the bastard child of a symphony orchestra and a 70's Funk beat junkie.  Unlike the previous album, the Chem's aren't afraid to utilise some guest vocals; Q-Tip helps out on "Galvanize", whilst others include Tim Burgess from the Charlatons ("The Boxer"), Kele Okereke of Bloc Party ("Believe"), and Anna-Lynne Williams from Trespassers William ("Hold Tight London"), to name a few - and without a doubt deliver some of the highlights in the set.

"Come Inside" is the sort of awesome hair-raising sound that hooked crowds to the Chemical Brothers in the early 90's, and would probably have fit into their 1997 album just as well as it does here.  "Marvo Ging" and "Shake Break Bounce" are great examples of modern electronic mix-up at it's best, whilst "The Big Jump" and "Left Right" should grab the attention of the Dancefloor and Rap fans, respectively.

Moving everything from Funk/Soul vocals to violin, the album runs beautifully from start to finish.  There couldn't be a better way to mark the 10th anniversary of their debut release.  Push the button.  Repeat.
