EXIT PLANET DUST (1993)
320 KBPS

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers is a stunning debut album. This album is rewarded with some of the best sampling and ideas ever accomplished. The album sounds just as fresh as it was released 14 years ago and stands the test of time. The uptempo first part is followed by a midtempo second part which contains two fantastic collaborations, "Life Is Sweet" and "Alive Alone". These 2 songs alone are worth the price of the album and the praise it receives.
This is the beginning of the so-called big beat techno style which was invented and further developped by The Chems and copied by many artists after this release. This album paves the way to the second album by The Chems which happens to be one of the best techno album of the decade.
Nevertheless, the fresh sound of Exit Planet Dust is still a feast for the ear and I like to listen to this album every once for a while. This is one hell of a brainstorm, a book of ideas that never gets boring. One can still find something that needs to be discovered. Whomever said that techno was boring, was wrong. Techno music seldom ever sounded this good. Anyone who's new to The Chems should give this album a try. They will be surprised. There is no tight structure here, no concept, just the love of music. This is what makes the world turn around.
