Exit Planet Dust

Exit Planet Dust

Please note: this title is not available to pre-order before National Album Day.

Originally released in the summer of 1995, The Chemical Brothers’ debut album,Ā Exit Planet Dust, remains a key record of the 1990s. Reaching No.9 in the UK, it introduced ā€œbig beatā€ music – as the club-filling mix of hip-hop and acid house had been christened – to a mainstream audience, helping to fuel its dominance on the British dance scene as the 20th century came to a close.

Opening with ā€˜Leave Home’, the Chems’ debut single and a swift UK Top 20 hit, the album also features collaborations with folktronica icon Beth Orton, on closing cut ā€˜Alive Alone’, and Charlatans’ frontman, Tim Burgess, on the album’s second single, ā€˜Life is Sweet’, which took The Chemical Brothers back into the UK charts, hitting No.25 following its September 1995 release.

Amid these standouts is a track that had already become a signature tune for the duo of Ed Simons and Tim Rowlands: ā€˜Chemical Beats’. Originally issued on the highly collectable Fourteenth Century Sky 12ā€ EP – issued in 1994 under the Chems’ earlier name, The Dust Brothers – it had already become a club classic by the time of Exit Planet Dust’s release, and, 30 years on, it still sounds huge on this 140g red- and gold-coloured double-vinyl reissue.
