Is this true? I thought the Dust Bros. were entirely different people. They produced Paul's Boutique and Beck's Odelay, and have done some remixes and stuff. But I don't think they ARE the Chemical Brothers. Just a bunch of coincidences, I thought. Am I wrong? -CF

according to a recent electronic musician interview with the dust brothers (i think it was EM maybe keyboard .. not sure) there was a lengthy section about the chemical bros.. it seems that the chemicals were really big fans of the dust bros. (and why not .. very incredible work with the dust bros) and were originally named the dust bros (outta respect i guess) when the chems started to get big there were a couple of cease and desist papers sent about and the chemicals were forced to change their name & the werent to happy about it ... so most of their early work contains some thinly veiled rips at los bros dust ... the dust bros (for better or worse im not goin' there) think that the chems music is pretty trite and are really none too happy with the whole thing ... . annwn . .

Hmmm, interesting - in the new ish of Select, there's an article about the Chems and they said they didn't mind too much changing their name (since they *did* "steal" it from the Dust Bros originally). But I seem to remember it wasn't quite that friendly at the time.... cya brian
