Anyone who's heard Chemical Brothers classics like "Block Rockin'
Beats" and "Setting Sun" knows that Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons get
over on breaking barriers between techno and rock. Even if the sun
has set on the electronica revolution they pioneered, the recent
compilation Singles 93-03 shows that their big beats can
still rock a living room. When we asked them to draw up a periodic
table of the music that made the Chems who they are, it was like
tapping into two sides of the same brain -- fitting for two pals
who still go check out Dylan every chance they get.
