Chemical Brothers - We Are The Night



We Are the Night is the sixth studio album by English electronica duo The Chemical Brothers, first released on 27 June 2007. The record entered the UK Albums Chart at #1. It also debuted at #65 on the Billboard 200. It was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry
The album won the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 50th Grammy Awards, making The Chemical Brothers the only artist to win this award more than once.
Used throughout the album is the nostalgic technique of sampling old sounds The Chemical Brothers used on other albums. For example the song "We Are the Night" uses a direct sample from "The Sunshine Underground" from Surrender.
The album also includes samples of outside sources. The title track "We Are the Night" incorporates samples from "Decimazione Amanti" byRiz Ortolani and a reading of Ode to D.A. Levy by Bill Bissett.[6] "A Modern Midnight's Conversation" uses a sample from Barbara & Ernie's recording of "Listen to Your Heart".
