Come With Us by The Chemical Brothers
Come With Us is an album by The Chemical Brothers, released in 2002. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Star Guitar”, on 2 lists with a best position of #42.
Come with Us, the Chemical Brothers' fourth studio album, arrived in January on Virgin and Freestyle Dust in Britain, with Astralwerks and Ultra handling America, and it went straight in at number one on the UK Albums Chart, their third chart-topper in a row. Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons had led the charge for big beat; here they push further out, folding psychedelia, house and pop into the mix.
"It Began in Afrika" is a sweaty percussion workout, "Star Guitar" glides on a shimmering loop, "The Test" goes for the head as much as the feet, and the title track builds like a sunrise over a festival field. Beth Orton and Richard Ashcroft, late of the Verve, step up to the microphone as guests, and the BPI certified it gold on 1 February, only weeks after it came out.
