Yeah. The Chemical Brothers certainly have used the media/hype machine to put their names and faces in the press, no doubt. Naturally, _Exit Planet Dust_ had a lot of people wanting it before it came out, due to the nature of people liking those 12" EP's so much, and the delay between the EP's and the LP certainly didn't help leading to their canonization. :) It is a pretty cool release, no doubt. Anyone note the similiarity in the artwork (I guess in concept) to Erasure's _Chorus_?
