A change of direction for The Chemical Brothers, the men often credited with - or accused of - inventing big beat.~

This takes a more commercial approach with a sample reminiscent of an annoying old house tune, the name of which escapes me.~

Unquestionably groundbreaking when they first emerged with 'SongTo The Siren' and the brilliant 'Fourteenth Century Sky EP', this release seems short on ideas.~

'Hey Boy HeyGirl' resorts to a formulaic acid line and sounds like it was aimed squarely at PeteTong's record bag.~

A mercenary offering that won't do their reputation for innovation any favours.
