I just have a question. I am sure that Chemical Brothers are influenced by Meat Beat Manifesto, but I don't know whether I would say CB are MBM deconstructionist. Both bands borrow heavily from others people. Meat Beat has sampled a lot of other people, and there are many people sampling Meat Beat. A friend of mine was commenting that the new Chemical Brothers remix of Dave Clarke used a sound from an MC Shan song. The Chemicals said that when they first got started they tried to sound like a mix of Renegade Soundwave and some else (wasn't MBM). Would you say that Meat Beat are deconstructionist of Public Enemy? I don't think that deconstructionist is an appropriate term, influenced, inspired, something like that maybe.
