The Chemical Brothers恐怕是當今以電音DJ起家，卻擁有如搖滾巨星般地位的少見組合。從90年中開始，這對曼徹斯特搭檔，是如何以那些空前的創作改變了我輩青少年的音樂視野，已經難以盡數，推崇他們改變了世界絕非夸張吹捧之詞，尤其那如巨石滾動的低音節奏夾帶星火亂竄般的電子聲效，以及配備強烈憾人投影視覺，令其煽動力無限加碼的現場表演，更讓他們始終屹立時代尖端，并且在當年同屬Big Beat流派如Bentley Rhythm Ace、Propellerheads乃至Fatboy Slim等單位再難當年風光，曾經叱吒風云的Prodigy又一度停產，Underworld等大團活動力大不如前，Leftfield已宣告解散之時，猶能愈戰愈勇，同時跨足Primal Scream與Manic Street Preachers等頂級搖滾大團制作混音，無疑使當年融合搖滾與舞曲之宣言，落實出一種渾然天成的新地。

The Chemical Brothers is a Grammy Award winning electronic music duo from England, comprising Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons (occasionally referred to as Chemical Ed and Chemical Tom). Initially they called themselves "The Dust Brothers", after the noted US production duo of the same name, but their burgeoning popularity and the threat of legal action from the originals led them to change their name in 1995. Along with The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method and a few other lesser-known acts they were pioneers of the big beat electronic dance genre, and are known for high-quality live sets.

We Are the Night is the upcoming sixth studio album by English electronica duo The Chemical Brothers. The album is scheduled for release on July 2, 2007 in the United Kingdom and July 17, 2007 in the United States.
