They’ve sold 10 million records and firmly established themselves as one of the most inventive dance acts in the world, and now The Chemicals bring you their second career-spanning collection, Brotherhood.

The album boasts 13 unforgettable and irrepressible hits from Tom and Ed’s back catalogue – everything from 'Galvanize' and ‘Believe' to ‘'Do It Again' and 'Saturate'. It also features essential new track ‘Keep My Composure’.

But that’s just the start, because the album is also available in a deluxe double-CD edition. In this edition, Disc 2 features Electronic Battle Weapons 1-10.

Since ’96, Electronic Battle Weapons have acted as the laboratories for the duo’s pioneering musical high-jinx, not to mention providing some of The Chemical Brothers’ most memorable mixes. Until this album, the Electronic Battle Weapons series has only been available on limited formats, and this is the very first time they have been widely available in single format.

Meanwhile, the iTunes download also features the Electronic Battle Weapons series, which has not been available digitally before. This is an iTunes exclusive, and the download costs just £9.99.
