The Chemical Brothers: Don't Think (Adam Smith, 2012)

9/10
I never really considered myself a big Chemical Brothers fan - I have the Surrender and Dig Your Own Hole albums on my iPod, but mostly just listen to the singles on them every now and again. When the hype blurb declared this, a concert filmed in front of 50,000 spectators in Japan, to be the first concert film of significance since Stop Making Sense, Gimme Shelter and The Last Waltz, I had to check it out. The claim might be a bit heavy-handed but this is still an absolutely sensational experience, with both music and visuals on a mindbogglingly incredible level. If you get a chance to see this somewhere with the music turned way up, don't pass it up. It is remarkable.
