If someone asked me to describe the Chemical Brothers, I'd call them
"Meat Beat Manifesto deconstructionists".
They deconstruct MBM down to the funky breaks core, and then loop it over
and over (and over ... and over ... ). An interesting take on the Meat Beat
sound, but it wears a bit thin over the course of a "set" that ends up
sounding like loop after loop after loop. I was quite pleased to hear an
actual 4/4 track in their Organic set; it broke up the monotony.
(I still liked them, though. It's really interesting viewing music through
the "cup-is-half-full" approach nowadays. Y'all ought to try it sometime.)
