Album Description
Available in:
Brotherhood (subtitled: The Definitive Singles Collection) is a compilation album by English big beat duo The Chemical Brothers, released on 1 September 2008. It is the second compilation spanning the band's greatest hits, after 2003's Singles 93–03. The first disc features thirteen hit singles and two new tracks, "Midnight Madness" and "Keep My Composure" (featuring a guest appearance of the rap group Spank Rock)—while the second CD contains all ten parts of The Chemical Brothers' "Electronic Battle Weapon" series of special mixes, which the duo have been recording since 1996.

Brotherhood was preceded by the digital single "Midnight Madness", a short version of "Electronic Battle Weapon 10", released on 18 August 2008, and promoted by the series of live performances in July and August 2008, throughout a number of European countries. The single was promoted by user-generated content through Google Earth. Fans were challenged to produce and upload a short film, from 2 to 20 seconds long, or a photograph based on the song that would become part of its music video, to be edited by producers Nexus.

User Album Review
Brotherhood is, well, a bit odd really. While there's no denying that The Chemical Brothers are a completely tremendous singles act what with 16 years of some amazing Grammy-winning albums, chart-toppers and possibly the best live show spectacle imaginable, but a second Best Of in the space of five years seems a bit bleedin' cheeky. Sure, there's new tunes Keep My Composure, which features Spank Rock, and the single Midnight Madness, and recent hits Galvanize and Do It Again, but there's not really anything to tempt anyone who's already got the last compilation.
However, the second disc piggy-backing this release is Electronic Battle Weapons 1-10, and that's where the excitement starts to kick in. Since 1996, Tom & Ed have been road testing various tracks in the natural environments of the rave-up, and released these rare-as-hens-teeth tracks as club-friendly promos. Presumably they would hide behind tinted glass with clipboards monitoring the reactions of the punters, working out the angle of shapes thrown and jot down possible improvements.
