Until now Electronic Battle Weapons 1-9 have only been available on various limited formats and this is the first time they have been widely available.
Brotherhood will be preceded by the digital download single Midnight Madness on 18th of August. Derived and developed from Electronic Battle Weapon 10 Midnight Madness is The Chemical Brothers at their most infectious, euphoric, report-to-the-dancefloor best.
