Funnily enough I was in a band called The Sunshine Underground…. Simply because we loved this tune so much!!

I remember in 97 when Tom and Ed were making Dig You Own Hole in South London and doing the Heavenly Social at Turnmills, and they’d make a track and then bring an acetate to play at the club. The Private Psychedelic Reel was one such track… Hearing that hot off the press, so to speak… absolute mayhem! Love this breakdown of another epic… superb work. You are a genius!

It's like you're going through the tracks of my childhood...always remember having this on CD listening to it by the pool on family holidays.

These are all so good. Underworld+ Chem Bros + Orbital are the holy trinity to me and I've always been waiting for someone to make breakdowns like this

Can’t tell you how much I love what you’re doing, mate!

23 years and I cannot get bored of this album. Never fails to pick me up!

I'm having this track played at my funeral, in full, and everybody has to sit there and listen to it.

Track choice has been immense so far in this series!!

I love this kind of thing. Getting into the nuts and bolts of the masterpieces of electronic music is fascinating to me. The fact you can't get them spot-on just shows the depth of the sound design by the original artists. Can't wait to see what you take on next. Keep it up.

Probably my fave chems tune. Amazing original and amazing work breaking it down

The Chemical Brother now that a big ask especially as to what they produce but you made an excellent attempt, I think TCB would applause your valiant efforts for sure. Amazing work much respect & keep them coming 👍

What a great choice! It's an utterly epic piece of music, from a brilliant album, and you've got pretty close in this break-down.

I’m dying to know if any of the original artists have ever reached out to you and offered congratulations or advice? Wonderful work, sir.

I liked this song before, but you've made me appreciate it even more. It's now one of my favorite tracks.

Another great video again. I'd love to see you break down and cover Chicane's Offshore. All your hard work is truly appreciated.

That was fantastic! Watching you do this with tunes that I "know" backwards (yet don't...) is such an eye opener. I have read through the comments here and the suggestions/requests are spot on! (I reckon we could throw one hell of a party lol) I don't think anyone has asked for FSOL Future Sound of London so I will add that one. Most of the tracks that come into my head are nowhere near as "chewy" as what you have now tackled, do tracks that really grab you and if you feel any burnout, backpeddle. We all seem to love this but we are voracious... 😜👍🎶

Super stuff, this channel rocks. I'd love to seeThe Box from Orbital. In fact, the entire of Insides would be the dream.

One of my all time fav chemical brothers track. Huge tune!

one of the few channels where i end up watching the whole thing! absolutely great man thanks!

Hi Gyu Beats from Melbourne, Australia. You appeared in my KZfaq feed yesterday. I've now watched the 4 recreations youve done so far. Awesome. Really grateful. I'm learning so much. Please keep it up. B. PS Suggestions? KLF, 808 State, early Underworld. What ever you do, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. 😊

This is such a cool way to explore this incredible track! You mentioned wanting some advice on how to maybe get those string pads at 6:03 to sound closer to the original, and one quick way to do that would be to automate the levels of the chords so that they swell from quiet to loud. Also, it sounds to me like the lower notes (maybe just the fundamentals) of the chords are synthesized voices from something like a Roland VP-330 (which is also an excellent string synth). I think combining those lower vocal notes with the upper notes of your string patch with more of a volume swell would get you really close. KVR makes a plug-in version of the VP-330 called the VSP-330, and Behringer's VC-340 clone sounds almost identical to the original. I've never used KVR's plug-in, but I have a VC-340, and it's great. Anyway, thank you so much for taking the time to make this! PS - I think the absolutely mindblowing synth sound that they also used on We Are the Night is actually an EMS VCS 3. It might have been run through a Sherman Filterbank to dirty it up a bit, but that synth can sound mighty gnarly on its own. If they did run it through an effect though, I think it was most likely the Thermionic Culture Vulture that they love and use a lot.

I did a festival in Joshua Tree in 2021, and I did a cover version of Let Forever Be with me doing live vocal harmonies with myself. People freaked out. Something I did alot, and something you might want to check out for recreating that "sample mojo" for stuff that you just can't find and have to recreate with softsynths is to bounce your sample to cassette and bring it back in the box. You can slam the tape if you need compression or drive, but any way you do it, it really gives some life to VST samples and makes them sit in the mix and feel more "vintage," so to speak. Keep in mind that you may have to tweak the timing and do some minor warping once it's back in the box, depending on the quality of tape deck you use to do it. The Chemicals were my go to electronica in the 90's.

This has been my alarm for a year and KZfaq suspiciously recommends me this video the day of upload. (Also never seen this channel before)

Another fantastic video!! That track really starts going off the rails after a bit. Nice job recreating it.

I love how much you love these tunes. This is just such a belter.

they never get old!

I love how much this guy loves it. Legend!

Given up working from home today . . . listening to you 🌞

The coolest part about these for me is not just you breaking down tracks I love but I also find plugins that are really cool. For example that Synthi V plugin is a must have for me now :D

This must have taken you ages to research - great attention to detail as always Guy

One of my favourite chemical brothers tracks, and my favourite album of all time (no joke). TSU is an absolute work of art. You have done an incredible job breaking the elements down, recreating it superbly and just giving off a really human and modest presentation. I absolutely loved this video and will be subscribing now 😊

Just found your channel and I love it. I would love to see you dismantle the Private Psychedelic Reel

That EMS Synthi is one of the greatest synths I've ever heard. chemicals literally use on it every track.

These are great- thankyou for doing this with some of my favorite alltime tracks! I'm sure you aren't short of suggestions of tracks to dissect but I personally would love to hear underworlds born slippy - but whatever, just keep doing these!

One of my favorite Chem Bros track!!!! I used this when I spun for a long time .. sometimes in it's full glory .... sometimes only hints here and there throughout a set. Bravo man, thank you for this!!!!!

First video like this I've seen after being recommended by a friend. Really interesting and loads of fun!

At 12:56 That amazing characteristic sound from the Chem Bros is one of my favourites, you can hear similar effects across their whole discography

If you want another challenge … that might open up a new direction for some of your Subscribers …you could break down a lesser known track with D+B elements … Seb Taylor’s (AKA Digitalis) “Dr Sembei” from the album “The Third State” … it swirls around with an interesting diverse array of sounds …. looks quite complicated ? … but accessible to someone of your ability, I reckon.

Could watch these videos all day

Brilliant, so are you! Thank you

Excellent video this has always been one of my favourite chems songs so really interesting to see it broken down. Request......Orbital Are we here

Your attention to detail is phenomenal - I feel like I'm listening even closer to music now than I ever have before! Thank you!!!!!!

Very cool use of KZfaq - your passion shines through. Would you consider doing a track which uses the old skool 'hoover' - something like 'Mentasm' or 'Dominator' ?

One of my favourite single tracks, ever.

Fantastic and enjoyable vid. It just goes to show is all how untouchable the Chems are when it comes to sounds and production. Keep them coming. How about some Higher Intelligence Agency or Underworld?

Hi from Paris ! Thx alot awesome vidéos !!! Looks Like Norman Cook is the next on your list right ? ;-) late 90s was dope hehe

I will always say that the Chemical Brothers were the spiritual successors of Led Zeppelin within electronica. I know more people would say that they are closer to the Beatles because of Setting Sun or their Noel Gallagher collaborations, but the reason I say Zeppelin is cause Chem Bros had so many esoteric Eastern influences, big beats, was a great stadium act, and is highly underrated compared to overrated acts like Daft Punk.

Great track selection! One of my favs. I didn’t get to see them until 2002, one of the best shows I’ve been too. Especially in comparison to all the millions of rave djs I’ve seen in the 90s and 2000s. Def still have this on vinyl.

Picking some absolute killer tracks on this series. Loving it.

Wow just an amazing recreation - would love Crystal Clear (album mix) by The Grid

Awesome! This is my favorite Chemical Brothers record and my favorite song on it. Cheers!

the live version of that song is soooooo crazy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely love the dedication to the dissection man. Keep em coming

This was absolutely brilliant!! I love the Chemical Brothers and never gave this song much notice but you’ve changed my mind for sure. Fantastic job! Best of luck with the channel!

Great job ❤

It was the last sample, the one you couldnt get right XD but stil a very nice video, this track is amazing, one of their best.. I still remember my first listen laying on the bed, a totally unexpected trip!!

Great video mate !

Thanks for sharing 🙏 the chemical brothers did some fine music in the 90is . One of my favourite is The private psychedelic reel from Dig your own hole 🤯 crazy track.✌️

Sounds really good. You asked about the chord theory on the strings in the intro. I haven't tested that part myself but a common trick for the 60s psycadelic sound is to use the Mixolydian mode. Aka usually the 7th in an A major is Ab but in Mixolydian it would be G. You could try adding a subtle G note in the chord for a more "far out" voicing... The tomorrow never knows cover the chemical brothers always use as a live intro uses the Mixolydian mode.

You won´t believe it!! I was searching "chemical brothers logic pro envelope" because I wanna recreate the sounds they make on the final section of this track!! Those sounds that repeat at different rates, each time slowly. I think it´s made with envelope or modulation but it´s one of the many things I like to be able to make myself! Let´s watch your video and hope for the best!! So exciting!!

Superb effort

Great video!

As someone that's followed Electronic music all my life and am fascinated in the equipment and techniques used, totally love these de-constructions; as I'm no musician by any stretch, but love to nerd out to this stuff!! You are the reason why I had Leftfield's Leftism on my Spotify playlist last week in the car!! I know that you've had many suggestions, but could I put in C J Bolland's Desolate 1? Keep up the good work...Subscribed!

Absolutely superb stuff. Thank you so much for this!

I love you analyse this amazing track that is just so complex! 😂one of my favourite albums of all time

Great video and one of my favourite tracks ever

Thanks for this! Truly one of my favorite songs of all time, from one of the first CDs I ever owned. So interesting to see it broken down to its nuts & bolts. Great work!

Never seen your channel man, dig it ! A look at Rez/Cowgirl by Underworld could be very interesting considering they so similar yet different . Keep it up, will definitely be watching the rest of ya stuff tonight 🤩

Subbed from this vid. Great stuff. Great album

amazing!

Amazing video, gave me so many ideas to try out! Loved the crazy synth fx mudpie loops technique!

There's so many people out there trying to sell produce and make in the type electronic music that just sounds one-dimensional and kind of flat Chemical Brothers always seemed very fine tuned and I appreciate you breaking down, I'm going to be looking for your videos to see if you have more of this It's fun to watch you

Great channel .. perhaps Gat Decor - passion

Love this song! Brilliant recreation! I look forward to what the future of this series brings. Liked and subscribed!

Hiya.. Great stuff. Popped up on my suggestions for some reason.. I love seeing how classic tracks are made and what samples they used etc.. Keep up the good work. Fatboy slim, the prodigy, chemical brothers, left field, etc.. 👍 ♥.. Oh and 808 state pacific 202 or in yer face would be awesome

amazing song

❤ these vids keep up the good work ✌️😎

Love this. Keep them coming! Thanks.

Great breakdown for one of my favourite Chems songs. Feel free to take a peak at how Justice made Stress...that would be wild to see a breakdown of that banger. Keep them coming man, great vids!

Oh wow!! Yes mate. Loving this channel. Some of my all time favs. How’s about some classic ‘Eat Static’??? X

Got Glint and this one have to be my two favs out of the Surrender, with The Sunshine Underground always reminding me a bit of the more trancey version of The Private Psychedelic Reel, which is my fav chems track

So glad I found this channel. Love it!

please keep making these.

29:36 As an electric guitarist, I can tell you that's playing with the speed of a tremelo. Probably the 'Vibrato' (that's tremelo) in his Fender amp (where the overdrive is also from). In other words: modulation of volume. It's simply that. I think it's just the sampled, played twice as fast (or thereabouts).

I’ve just subscribed and binged all your episodes to date. Beautifully done!!

Top work

Loving your work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Class this

Really good! I guess the Mellotron at first. Such a classic!!!! reminds me of losing it in a field somewhere.....

Love these How it was made videos. Inspiring and great music choices :)

Man you a genius

Just had your Little Fluffy Clouds episode recommended in my feed - insta-subscribed!

i'm the tightest of subber's but i'm in! ....this is awesome. Keep up the good work

stumbled across your channel. What a gem. keep it coming....

Absolute banger, nice job

That was awesome dude, more chems please, something off dust would be brilliant. What an effort!!

Great as always

Mate, stumbled across your channel I don't know how. It's ace. Your presentation and skill are exemplary, and charming. And our tastes align. A suggestion, perhaps... How about Rez?
