The Chemical Brothers: "The Private Psychedelic Reel" (Freestyle Dust)

This 11-minute mega-tune is a head-spinning pileup of Chemical beats, starting off from a simple Eastern melody, then building up into a virtual Krakatoa of swirling rhythms and melodies. The CD is backed by a live version of Setting Son, wherein Noel Gallagher's voice gets the cut 'n' paste treatment.
