[Early IDM mentions of Chemical/Dust brothers deleted]
Jackson Browne could have been writing about the chem boys when he said
"say a prayer for the pretender, who started out so young and strong only
to end there."
And in the same song "caught between a longing for love and a struggle
for the legal tender."
The Chemical Brothers have indeed made a few fine tracks, but unfortunately
their newer stuff seems to be mostly a cheap parody of their early heights.
