Originally launched in the summer of 1995, Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers is a landmark album that defined the sound of the 1990s. This record not only reached No. 9 on the UK charts but also introduced big beat music—a dynamic blend of hip-hop and acid house—to a wider audience, solidifying its place in the British dance music scene.
The album kicks off with the electrifying ‘Leave Home’, the duo’s debut single that quickly became a UK Top 20 hit. Collaborations with renowned artists like Beth Orton on the haunting ‘Alive Alone’ and Tim Burgess from The Charlatans on ‘Life Is Sweet’ only add to its allure. This second single also marked a return to the charts, peaking at No. 25 after its September 1995 release. One of the standout tracks, ‘Chemical Beats’, originally featured on the collectible Fourteenth Century Sky EP, had already carved its niche as a club anthem long before the album dropped. Now, 30 years later, this iconic track resonates as powerfully as ever on this stunning 140g red and gold double-vinyl reissue.
