In conjunction with the release of their collection of singles and rarities, entitled ‘The Singles- '93-'03’ on September 30th 2003 on CD and DVD, The Chemical Brothers will be offering one lucky fan the chance to see them DJ on New Year's Eve 2003.
One "Golden Path Ticket" will be found inside specially marked Limited Edition ‘The Singles '93-'03’ CDs. Fans can also enter a random drawing online at www.astralwerlks.com . The winner will be awarded a trip to see The Chemical Brothers DJ at an undisclosed exclusive New Years Eve event. When asked what he though of the competition, Tom Rowlands of the band replied, " You are Augustus Gloop - we are Willy Wonka. Let's get it on!"
The album will consist of tracks from the hugely successful albums ‘Exit Planet Dust’, ‘Dig Your Own Hole’, ‘Surrender’ and ‘Come With Us’ as well as various EP's over the last ten years. Two brand new tracks will be included on the collection, collaboration with ‘The Flaming Lips’ called ‘The Golden Path’ and a track with Canadian rapper K-OS called ‘Get Yourself High’. A second disc will accompany the collection for a limited period, consisting of rare tracks and previously unreleased tracks, as suggested by fans of the band via their website.
The DVD will consist of The Chemical Brothers groundbreaking videos, themselves always a source of inspiration and excitement, made by such renowned directors such as Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, WIZ and Dom and Nick. It will also feature rare unreleased footage, including long-awaited live footage.
The Chemical Brothers are currently in the studio working on a brand new studio album, which is due in 2004. Tom and Ed will be playing select US DJ dates in the Fall.
