The Chemical Brothers’ Dig Your Own Hole is their landmark 1997 second album, combining breakbeats, acid house, psychedelia and rock-scale dynamics into one of the defining records of the big beat era. Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons build dense, propulsive tracks around distorted synths and heavy rhythmic loops, with guest appearances from Noel Gallagher and Beth Orton. Highlights include “Block Rockin’ Beats,” “Setting Sun,” “Elektrobank” and “The Private Psychedelic Reel.”
