Album Description
Available in:
Dig Your Own Hole (1997) est le deuxième album studio du duo d'electronica britannique The Chemical Brothers, publié le 7 avril 1997 sous le label Virgin Records.
Premier disque du groupe à atteindre la tête des charts au Royaume-Uni, il se distingue par la participation de Noel Gallagher sur le single numéro un « Setting Sun » et de la chanteuse Beth Orton.
Certifié disque de platine par la BPI, l'opus est régulièrement cité parmi les meilleurs albums de tous les temps par le magazine Q. Plus long de quatorze minutes que leur précédent album Exit Planet Dust, ce succès mondial a imposé le duo comme des remixeurs extrêmement demandés.
L'œuvre est illustrée par une photographie en noir et blanc d'une fan, Sarah Atherton, prise lors d'une de leurs performances.
User Album Review
If their debut, 1995’s Exit Planet Dust, set the Chemical Brothers stall out as purveyors of large beats and chunkin’ funk, then Dig Your Own Hole shot them right into the stratosphere. With its number one singles, Grammy award and multi-platinum status, Dig Your Own Hole took Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons from the backrooms to the stadiums.
In a year that saw some incredible albums such as OK Computer, Ladies & Gentleman..., and Homework, Dig Your Own Hole sits easily in such company, a joyous melange of psychedelia, acid house, hip hop, funk and colossal beats creating something that out-rocked the rockers. Their live shows around this time were spoken of in legendary terms, building a reputation which still stands to this day.
It begins with the all-conquering Block Rockin’ Beats, an elastic pile-driving chunk of wonky noises and fierce breaks, before the intense title track itself speeds in like a brakes-free juggernaut careering out of control. The pace doesn’t slack with Elektrobank. Featuring a vocal introduction courtesy of hip-hop legend DJ Kool Herc, it’s a mash up of explosions and machine abuse that slowly breaks down to fuzzed-out, echo-soaked noise.
Setting Sun sees Noel Gallagher ”“ keen fabs admirer and pre-Be Here Now, so y’know, "quite a big deal" at that point - thrown into a demented chaos of sirens, loops and general racket, inspired by The Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows. Sitting at the No.1 spot in late 1996 between Breakfast at Tiffanys and some Boyzone affair, it’s possibly the most mental chart topper ever. It Doesn’t Matter, originally one of the duo’s famed Electronic Battle Weapon releases, cuts up obscure, pioneering late 60s Denver freaks Lothar & The Hand People into dizzying acidic shapes, while Lost in the K Hole emulates, quite realistically it must be said, the sensation it speaks of. Apparently.
Another guest, Beth Orton, shows up to lay a moment of calm over the twisted folk of Where Do I Begin. Then it’s the final track, The Private Psychedelic Reel - a kaleidoscopic wonder that burrows into your cortex, building into a giddying ride of rushy shards, whooshes and spiraling melodies courtesy of Mercury Rev. It’s the perfect end to all that’s gone before it.
Nearly 15 years on, there’s still been nothing quite like Dig Your Own Hole. It was a moment where Tom and Ed could harvest up the minds and bugger up the hearing of a whole new crowd of converts, and remains an immense, far out and most staggering work. A key text. Literally amazing.
