For a band used to dealing in psychedelics, this time round The Chemical Brothers have really pushed the proverbial envelope. The Chemical Brothers release their seventh studio album, "Further". This album is the band's first to be released with corresponding films made specifically to match each of the 8 audio tracks. Nearly three years on from the release of their fifth consecutive UK Number 1 "We Are The Night", "Further" sees Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons explore the boundless possibilities of their sound. Taking a trip through four decades of electronic noise, Tom & Ed have taken the template set up with their occasional "Electronic Battle Weapon" releases and allowed them to mutate gloriously into an entire album. Voice samples and snatches of vocals are woven through tracks to create a record that ebbs and flows like one of the band's legendary live sets. Here, West Coast power pop harmonies sit beside German Motorik rhythms while Valentines-esque sonic manipulations plane across the top of early house basslines. "Further" is the culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration, an immersive collection that finds The Chemical Brothers at their least-restrained and most-melodic best.

As well as an eight-track album, "Further" is the band's first proper partnership with long-time visuals collaborators Adam Smith and Marcus Lyall. Now as respected TV and film Adam - aka Flat Nose George - has been responsible for creating the visual backdrop for every Chemical Brothers gig since their live debut in 1994. Visuals for "Further" have been created to correspond with each track on the album and have been planned during the recording of the record, with each featured on the accompanying DVD!
