1997 The Chemical Brothers: Block Rockin' Beats

It's always convenient to come across a tune that reviews itself through its title and Schooly D sample - "Back with another one of those block rockin' beats", what else can I add? Without the crutch/hindrance of a celebrity guest spot, the brothers crack on with what they do best and crank out a piledriving dance wallop with all the grace of a ton of housebricks being lobbed into an empty skip to the beat of a metronome. As subtle as an armed robbery but without the threat, what it lacks in innovation (no 'Setting Sun' trickery or effects dropouts here) it makes up for with a blunt directness and sheer un-ignorability that's tailor made to fill any dancefloor.
