Nothing changes folks like babies and war, and since the release of their last album, 2002's Home, the Dixie Chicks have been forever altered by both. If that album showcased the trio as precocious young adults, Taking the Long Way finds them sobered and matured, and in a grown-up state of mind. Produced by the celebrated Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers), who saw the Chicks as "a great rock act making a country album, not a country act making a rock album," their new record impresses both as beautiful sonic tapestry (peppered with myriad Beatlesque hallmarks) and forthright yet vulnerable portrait of three women shaken by the personal and political events of the past few years. As they make clear in the defiant "Not Ready to Make Nice," they still smart over the backlash from their 2003 Bushwhacking. But as they assert on the equally autobiographical "The Long Way Around," they could never "kiss all the asses that they told me to" and just follow others aimlessly--and silently--through life. This means that the Chicks are simultaneously prideful and scornful of celebrity ("Everybody Knows"), and that as new mothers they increasingly treasure the refuge they find in life with their families, out of the spotlight ("Easy Silence," "Lullaby," "Baby Hold On"). The push and pull of both passions drive this record, which also touches on the personal issues of infertility (with which sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison both dealt) and Alzheimer's (from which Natalie Maines's grandmother suffers). The trio crafted all 14 cuts with the help of such writers as Sheryl Crow, Gary Louris, Mike Campbell, and Keb' Mo', laying out their lives as honestly and intimately as they might in their diaries. For that reason, on first listen, Taking the Long Way seems too somber--in need of a bit of levity and more than a couple of uptempo songs (like the sexy, '60s-flavored "I Like It") to resonate for the long haul. It also seems to lack the writing quality that Darrell Scott, Patty Griffin, and Bruce Robison brought to Home. But on repeated plays, those concerns dissipate. By the last cut, the R&B/gospel offering "I Hope," the Chicks have chronicled their journey with as much spirituality as spunk, their pain deeply ingrained in their protests. --Alanna Nash

Description

With Taking The Long Way, one of the most anticipated albums in recent years, the Dixie Chicks are putting themselves out there like never before. For the first time, every one of the disc's fourteen songs are co-written by the Chicks themselves, exploring themes both deeply private and resoundingly political. Collaborating with legendary producer Rick Rubin (who has worked with everyone from Johnny Cash to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, from Run DMC to Neil Diamond), the biggest-selling female band in history has truly pushed themselves to new heights both as writers and as performers.

"Everything felt more personal this time," says Maines. "I go back to songs we've done in the past and there's just more maturity, depth, intelligence on these. They just feel more grown-up." Inspired by such classic rock artists as the Eagles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and the Mamas and the Papas, Taking The Long Way adds a sweeping, Southern California vibe to the Chicks' down-home intimacy. That ambition is matched with lyrics addressing everything from small-town narrow-mindedness ("Lubbock or Leave It") to the psychology of celebrity ("Everybody Knows"). "This album was about finding a balance in the different aspects of our lives," says Emily Robison, "but there's something thematic there, too--it's really about being bold."

Taking the Long Way............2007-07-19

This is by far the best collection yet from the Chicks! Powerful, touching, and fun to listen to! One of my all time favorite cds!

Great album.......2007-07-17

I heard of the Dixie chicks when their lead singer Natalie Maines voiced her opinion against President George Bush's Iraq policy at a concert in London. I thought they were a girl Rock band because they look more like Pop/Rock artists than a Country music group. I have listened to their previous albums but I have never bought them because I am not a Country music fan. I like 'Taking the Long way' best because their new style of music is more to my taste than their 'twang' music. Although it has a 'Country' feel it sounds like 1970's classic Rock. This mix of different genres makes their music original. They said they were influenced by the Eagles and California Rock. This type of music appeals to me. It is why I bought this album. Nothing to do with their anti-Bush comment ( with which I agree ). Some people bought their cd in support for them but I don't purchase an artist's record for political reasons. The Dixie Chicks have talent and it shows in their music. I was glad to hear that they had won 5 Grammys.
My favourite songs are 'The Long way round', 'Silent House'( they co-wrote this song with Neil Finn of Crowded House. It is also on the new Crowded House album called 'Time On Earth'), 'Voice Inside My Head', 'I like it' and 'I Hope'.

I'd Give it 6 Stars if I could.......2007-07-08

That's how much I LOVE this record! Myself like others I've read, have never purchased a Dixie Chicks record before. I have to admit I only bought it because I'm a huge Jayhawks (Gary Louris) fan, and wanted to hear his contributions. Well, even if Gary had never ever written with these women, I would give this CD my highest rating.

Best tracks are "I'm Not Ready to Make Nice". This song give me chills every time I hear it, never fails to produce that effect. "Everybody Knows" is my next favorite. I'm not going into detail on each and every one, but if you've not heard the DC before or are a long-time fan, this record is for you, trust me.

It's a record that I find fresh and exciting every time I play it, still. The Chicks are wonderful musicians, and Natalie has one of the best voices around! This was my favorite record from last year and truly deserved it's title of Best Record from the grammys.

Still Amazing.......2007-06-26

I bought this when it was first released, and I love it just as much as the day it arrived--maybe more. I often get sick of albums that seemed great in the beginning, but I don't think that could happen with this one. It is too perfect.

Dixie Chicks at their best.......2007-06-24

I find it unbelievable that the Dixie Chicks are still not played on country radio stations (on the Internet anyway). Country musics' heart and soul is telling stories; sad, happy, and everything in between. This album tells the 'story' of the Dixie Chicks in an awesome way. It brings chills to hear how real their story is. The way they have brought the emotion and challenges they faced out through their songs shows unbelievably talent and courage.

As far as still not being played goes, here in NZ we only know what we see on the news and as far as I can tell their are plenty of you Americans who have said and done a lot worse than what the Chicks ever said. I think not playing them is very one-eyed and narrow minded. You just have to look at some of country music's icons to see they have rebelled against the 'government.' Willie, Waylon, Merle, Hank Williams Snr, just to name a few.

Go the Chicks, I will always buy and play their music.

After the roaring success of Wide Open Spaces--a blend of turn-of-the-century pop and country traditionalism--what do you do for an encore? Rather than deliver more of the same, the Chicks have chosen instead to up the ante in country radio with a follow-up that's both poppier and twangier than its predecessor, and just plain better too. Some of it we've heard before: "Hello Mr. Heartache," for example, adheres pretty closely to the honky-tonk model of "Tonight the Heartache's On Me." Mostly, though, the record lights out for new territories. "Without You" is driven by an in-your-face string arrangement that's downright fierce, and the rootsy "Sin Wagon" may rock harder--and with more solos--than any mainstream country since Buck Owens held forth. That's not to say Fly's perfect. A couple of songs miss the mark, particularly "Goodbye Earl," an abusive-husband murder song that's sure to get criticized (wrongly) for being anti-male but actually fails because it can't decide if it's a moral lesson, a horror movie, or a joke. Still, even in this failure, the Chicks are bravely pushing the envelope. If they push hard enough, maybe Young Country radio will open up some wider spaces. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews:

My favorite DC CD.......2007-07-01

Excellent CD by the Dixie Chicks. This particular CD is by far their best. It's very upbeat with excellent sound quality. The CD is encoded with each song's title and the CD title if your CD player has the display capability.

I have Wide Open Spaces (second favorite), Home, Top of the World and Takin' the Long Way. Fly is still my personal favorite.
Even if you're not a country music fan, this is still very entertaining.

Excellent follow up from the Chicks.......2007-06-20

This is a great sophmore effort. This album is a bit harder and edgier than the first one, and the Chicks pull it off well. Country with a broader appeal. Good tunes are many:

Ready to Run

If I Fall - great faster number with cool scraping fiddles

Earl - a great rhythm and lyrics. Is about a woman and her friend "disposing" of a violent brute of a husband. Of course the song does not advocate premeditated murder. Get a grip. It's just a revenge fantasy

Hello Mr. Heartache - a good traditional-flavored number

Sin Wagon - fast, bluegrassy tune. Funny lyrics like "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" and "mattress dancing"

Some Days You Gotta Dance - dancy number, like its lyrics and title

Hole in My Head - heavy, grinding instrumentation. Cool effect.

Fly by the Dixie Chicks.......2007-03-29

I love this CD. I listen to it all the time. Thank you Dixie Chicks another great CD.

The album FLY is an awesome album!! It is hands down the best Dixie Chicks album by far. Every song on there is good and worth listening to. "Cowboy Take Me Away" is my personal favorite, but every somng is great. I have all their albums and none can compare. It has just the right mix of ballads and upbeat music! Totally great!!

CD -- Dixie Chicks -- Taking the Long Way.......2007-05-19

CD arrived very quickly and was well packaged. I am not what you would call a country fan , however the music on this particular CD is just what any person needs. The music is upbeat and just has an overall great listening feeling. I truly recommend purchasing this CD as ok, there is only 1 song I do not care for off this entire CD and how many times can we say this about a complete CD these days.

Truly great music.

Loved It!.......2007-04-11

I knew very little of the Dixie Chicks before ordering this CD.
I recall hearing about the destruction of their CD's by angry "Fans", who didn't like the fact that one of them made a comment they didn't agree with. It seems some people don't really believe in freedom of speech for all Americans.
Anyway, I decided to check out the clips available on Amazon after hearing they had won the Grammy.
I liked what I heard and decided to order the CD.
What a wonderful group!
I only wish I had been listening to them for a long time.
They are an amazingly talented group of women artist!
If you haven't heard their music, I encourage you to check it out.

Don't follow the Herd, Follow the Chicks... (2 Disc set) .......2007-01-22

...The Long Way Around.

Disc 1. (AUDIO)

Welcome back Chicks. We've been waiting for you.

Thanks to you for reminding us what makes America great: Divergent views and the freedom to speak them. What impresses me most about the Chicks is that they have come through a storm; did it together; and still are gracious enough to bless us with their wonderful music. Thanks Chicks.

That said, the opening track "The Long Way Around" is classic up-tempo Chicks, leading listeners to dream of the what-ifs (as if I can honestly pretend that their lyric, "Someday I'm gonna' settle down," still applies to me). The Chicks' statement "No I... I could never follow," says it all.

"Easy Silence," I suspect is a heartfelt thanks to the family, friends, and fans that stood by the Chicks when they discovered that freedom is not free.

"Not Ready to Make Nice," serves as the girl's answer to all those who would have them to be anything less than full, free, participating Americans. And hey, I didn't necessarily agree with Natalie's controversial statements at the time, but I am proud of both her and the Chicks since. It takes guts to speak your mind, take the heat, and above all, stick together when the fun hits the fan. I have always admired the Chicks for being great musicians and having great fun, but now I admire them more for being great friends.

Don't miss out on the soulful "Lullaby," and its "How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough?"

Then give a listen to "I Hope," yet another thought-provoking tune with the Chicks singing a choral backup.

Disc 2. (VIDEO)

On this special video disk Chick fans are treated to a five pack of studio performances featuring:

1) The Long Way Around
2) Easy Silence
3) Voices Inside My Head
4) Truth #2
5) Wide Open Spaces

Next is the provocatively stark video of "The Long Way Around."

Lastly is an in-depth Chicks' video interview including "Taking the Long Way," album producer Rick Rubin. Rubin is known for his eclectic collaborations with such artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run DMC, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash and now the Chicks. Five Grammy nominations for "Taking the Long Way" can't be wrong, can they?

In short: the Dixie Chicks (and Mr. Rubin, thank you very much!) don't know how to fail. They get an A.

New Direction.......2007-01-11

Having been practically forced out of Country Music by the radio stations, the Dixie Chicks take a more mainstream/pop approach in this album. "Not Ready To Make Nice" tells how they feel about the roller coaster that they have been on since "The Incident" (when lead singer, Natalie Maynes said that she was ashamed to be from the same state as George W Bush, as he was about to mislead the US into the disasterous War in Iraq). Lots of raw emotion and worth the price of the album.

Very good album.......2007-01-10

The title track is fantastic as is Not Ready To Make nice but overall I preferred Wide Open Spaces and Top of the World

Album Description

Our second album of vintage North American garage-rock supremacy! (Retail note: Do NOT file under "chick music"). Here's the absolute tops in garage-rehearsin' teens and 20-somethings; the wild ones that within minutes of the Beatles' first Ed Sullivan appearance conspired to overthrow the world with rock 'n' roll, suburb by swingin' suburb. In their day, the vast majority of these records were under-appreciated or completely unheard beyond their school zone…

Customer Reviews:

Fantasmorific 60s obscurity........2007-06-26

The second volume in Sundazed Records' series of garage rock compilations is a twenty-track joy, a disc that no garage fan can afford to pass up. The songs are tough, tight, and energetic, anchored around angry teenage vocalists, moaning electric organs, and exhilleratingly crude guitar chords. The whole collection is positively driping with the basic essentials of rock n roll: unrestrained sexual frustration, unhinged excitement, and an unapologetically self-styled sense of cool. It really is a life force.

Anyway, the best songs include a salivating groin-grinder courtesy of the Things to Come (I don't know if their name is supposed to be an innuendo, but I sure hope it is) entitled "Sweetgina," as well as the Mad Hatters' soulful, grooving "Chicks are for Kids," and the Bold's pounding, snarling, flailing "Gotta Get Some." The Jynx do a creeping, understated (sorta) take on Van Morrison's "Little Girl," and the Ugly Ducklings transform the Bo Diddly-penned "I'm A Man" into a five-minute instrumental meltdown that rocks somethin' mighty. The Menn sound bitter and restless on the excellent "Things to Come" (no, it has nothing to do with the band that did "Sweetgina!"), and the Gestures' "I'm Not Mad" is a great harmonica-driven tune. There are also a few (relatively) obscure from more (relatively) well-known bands: The Guess Who's "Believe Me" is a pounding anthem with a killer electric piano solo, and the Sonics' "You Got Your Head on Backwards" is a mean little blues-rocker with a greased-up guitar line, and Boston's legendary Remains are represented by a raw, relentless demo recording of their classic "Why Do I Cry" that goes some way toward explaining their reputation as incredible live performers. The Litter (known for their brutal classic "Action Woman") turn in a tight, searing little ditty entitled "Whatcha Gonna Do About It."

And there's more where that came from! Pick this disc up and crank everything up to 10- you'll have a blast!

'Garage Beat '66,Vol.2: Chicks Are For Kids' (Sundazed) Various Artists.......2007-01-28

I'll tell you something right here and right now.Don't believe I'll ever run short of 'undiscovered' audio gems like this various artists CD title. I've gotten CD's on the Sundazed label before, but I've never even heard of this CD before. Total of twenty tracks from mostly little known / way-under appreciated bands like The Bold, The Gestures, The Remains, The Concepts and Spiders (Alice Cooper's early band) as well as a few better known psych / classic rock acts like Guess Who, Barbarians, The Sonics and Five Americans. Guaranteed to have any party of aging hipsters shaking their shimmies back and forth (supporting they still have them). Most highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

I've been zonked!.......2006-12-29

Wild (and surprisingly cohesive) collection of girl group songs from that transitional period in the 1960's when heartbreak ballads were out and tough psychedelia was moving in. Donna Loren (Miss Dr. Pepper!) gets down with a one-minute-forty-two second hummer called "So, Do the Zonk". It's understandable if Capitol Records was unsuccessful in promoting such a short, seemingly insignificant tune (about an apparent dance craze which never happened), but Loren strikes a sultry vocal presence here, grittier than her records from those "Beach Party" years. "Chico's Girl" by The Girls sounds like an updated cousin to "Leader of the Pack" (and doesn't make much of an impression), yet "Daddy You Just Gotta Let Him In", treading similar thematic territory, is marvelously performed by the mysterious Satisfactions. Brian Wilson's pet project The Honeys have a great number, and Murmaids' "Paper Sun" is a nicely-updated variation of the squeaky-clean pop Kim Fowley helped them put out just a few years prior, though some artists didn't adjust to the new times quite as smoothly. Diane Renay sounds out of her element, and the blonde, beaming Kane Triplets tackle an impossible tune (the "Mission Impossible" theme--with lyrics!). Overall, a very enjoyable compilation, one with fairly good liner notes and photos representing a nearly-forgotten chapter in musical history that is never less than a pleasure revisiting. 'B'

A fun must-have for collectors!.......2004-04-22

If there were awards handed out for songs of the 60's (or any other era for that matter)categorized "So bad they're good", hands down winner in their class would have been "Egyptian Shumba" by The Tammys! Screaming, wailing and beat parts in it where you'd envision a "Nefertiti girl"- in a bikini, of course -chasing Harvey Lembeck all around the beach in one of his surf party movies! Rare Diane Renay and Donna Loren cuts, a little "Wall of Sound" , "Garage", "Bond-Girl" and of course the delightful Kane Triplets (who did the amusing "Pow-Pow-Pow!" on Ed Sullivan around that time) actually singing lyrics to "Mission Impossible" rounding out this eclectic but must-have for collectors! Also fun, colorful liner notes decorated with fashion images resembling "Betty" from "The Archies"!

Good ol' chicks!.......2004-12-22

You know, i always wondered where they got that music they use in mobile phone adverts, and i think this answers my question.

If your into listening to a bunch of incoherant nioses, by all means this is probably the album for you. Just don't be expecting to hear any music.

If your buying it because you were at hyde park and you want to remind yourself of when they unfortunatly became a walking joke, don't bother, because the novolty wears off.

If you like attending raves and sitting quietly at the back where the ecstacy dealers are and musing over the music they play, this is the album for you. Other wise, run.

I'd like to point out that this album shares it's title with a great record by a man called Chino XL.
I'd also like to point out how ridiculous the cover is.

They Need Speed.......2004-07-26

With a name like Chicks On Speed, they are bound to grab the attention of the on-looker passing by in a record store or even achieving a catchy headline in a music magazine. And, for that name, they certianly do look the part. They album sleeve in itselfis enough to showyou hommuch of a crazy bunch the female trio are. By fusing electronica with modern art, Chicks On Speed have manged to cook up a formula that is not only unique,but interesting too.
Although they have opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers,they sound nothing like the rock outfit. They actually have been booed off stage a couple of times because they're music is of no classification, flirting with cheesy pop on "Euro-Trash Girl" to electronic hard beats on "For All The Boys In The World."
Thier image is a that of fashion-weary punksters, which really undermines the meaning of punk. However, they are very much into the city-fashion-art mode assthey display on the only track worthy of release asa single "Glamour Girl," boasting mid-90's Rupaul-esque catwalk beats.
The rest of Will Save Us All, is a sorry mush of being weird for the sake of being weird. From "Yes I Do!" to the irritatingly long titled "Floating Pyramid Over Frankfurt That The Taxi Driver Saw..." Basically, the wholealbumis a number of shoutsand rants and an attempt at being punk yet in moderation. They have also releaseda book to go along with the albumthat should demonstrate the attempt at being meaninglessly artsy.
The packaging of this product is stellar and their look is just as fabulous.However, don't be fooled by the cover, there is nothing of content in this release. The underdog has lost its flavour since the days of Ani DiFranco.

... from the horrible bane of real music.......2004-06-30

I saw chicks on speed live in hyde park in london during the red hot chilli peppers tour in 2004.
Because they'd been booed off the stage the night before in Manchester, John frusciante and Anthony keidis came on before hand and told us to be nice to them.
They said that the first band were cool and had cool clothes, make-up, style etc. At that point i realized they hadn't said anything about there music.
a techno beat started up and they started flailing their arms. the crowd scratched their heads.
The first line was ''can i lick your ice-cream'' and every-one corpsed with laughter.
Their music displays to talent whatsoever and dispite the 'popular' opinion, it is by no means artistic. This is a band with nothing to say and all the hype they need not to say it.
They even hit paint strippers together.
The violinist swore at the audience and they were booed off in just under half an hour.
I will give them this-
They are true punk.

Get on speed!.......2004-01-13

Sto aspettando al varco le Chicks on Speed da circa due anni, precisamente dal memorabile concerto alla Royal Festival Hall di Londra (una serata di elettronica, con Pan Sonic e Sonic Youth). Stupirono tutti con sonorità elettroniche travolgenti a supporto di melodie pop molto anni '80. Amore, nostalgia, parodia? Musica ma anche performance: le cinture suonate a mo' di chitarre, gli abiti assurdamente autoprodotti, una serie di gadget dal gusto dada (tutto acquistabile su www.chicksonspeed.com). Incontrai Alex (l'australiana del trio) sulle scale. Donna aggressiva. Parlammo per mezz'ora, bevemmo un Martini. Chiesi un'intervista. Accettò. Quando scoprì che si trattava di Vogue Italia cominciò a negarsi. Scoprii che avevano appena maltrattato Shame Kodwo di Vogue UK per delle domande a loro sgradite. Dunque proposi un'intervista all'incontrario (a loro le domande, a me le risposte). Prima dissero si, poi forse. Sto ancora aspettando. Bello l'ultimo disco, ma passa un po' troppo spesso su MTV. Che le sovversive stiano cambiando atteggiamento? La musica, per ora, è splendida. Tuttavia, temo che un giorno avrò la mia intervista. Quel giorno le Chicks on Speed non saranno più quelle di una volta.

NO NEED FOR SPEED, JUST THE CHICKS!!!.......2003-01-18

I LOVE THIS CD. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT... YOU MUST GET IT, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ELECTRO. A CLASSIC IN IT'S ON RIGHT!

Album Description

"GIRL MONSTER" tells a rich historical story, from the original girl monsters of punk and post punk to contemporary tricksters and electro-rock pranksters...

Female heroes of the late 70ies and early 80ies like The Slits, The Raincoats or Malaria! appear alongside contemporary classics like Björk, Le Tigre, Peaches or Chicks On Speed. But what sets the compilation apart from all the other compilations around the topic of "Women and Music" is that it is not just a collection of what everybody knows already, packaged under the misleading slogan of "Women in Rock", instead this compilation creates a movement of its own, containing 2/3 EXCLUSIVE tracks, showcasing some of the finest (and mostly unreleased) tracks from a worldwide underground network of female musicians, even following in the tracks of some of the classics like Tina Weymouth (Tomtom Club/Talking Heads), Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle), Siouxsie Sioux (Siouxsie and the Banshees), or Ana Da Sliva (The Raincoats) by featuring their latest productions.

This specially priced and packaged 3 CD set contains 60 tracks, (of which 40 exclusively appear on Girl Monster), an 8-page Girl Monster Newspaper with exclusive texts by Lucy O'Brien (author of the classic "She-Bop") and others. Designed by Chicks On Speed and Factor Product. The 3 CD set has a playing time of more than 3½ hours.

Girl Monster was conceived by Alex Murray-Leslie from Chicks on Speed, and realised in conjunction with Anat Ben David and Chicks on Speed Records. Watch out for future volumes.

Product Description

The fifth collection culled from the annual VH1 Divas specials is a little too genteel. Maybe because the producers are now old hands at pairing up pop's biggest female singers, and they know how to avoid potential fireworks. But it's the fireworks that make these records sizzle. Who can forget Elton John's rendition of "The Bitch Is Back" on the 1999 edition? Except for the rendition of AC/DC's "You Shook Me," inexplicably assigned to Celine Dion and disco revivalist Anastacia, which features blistering guitar by Meredith ("Bitch") Brooks, none of the cuts crackle. Cher's dance floor hit "I Believe" sounds canned and forced, and Latin firecracker Shakira goes low-key with an acoustic version of her soft-focus "Underneath Your Clothes." Even the vivacious Dixie Chicks can't rescue the record with their performance of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," complete with Stevie Nicks. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

Divas Las Vegas........2007-04-12

Really enjoyable special.
The highlights would have to be Cher's and Celine Dions performances.
Cher performs Believe and A Song for the Lonely and knocks them dead.
Celine performs Im Alive and A New Day Has Come and practically brings the house down. She was superb.
Other artist were good also, in particular Anastacia.
Very interesting to watch and great to own.

Album Description

CHICKS ON SPEED finally make their long awaited US-return with the CD- release of their brilliant album 99 CENTS on their own independent label CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS after it was released in the rest of the world by Labels/EMI. The new album, their third long player, follows `The Re - Releases Of The Un - Releases' (COSR00) compilation and 2000's brilliant debut `Will Save Us All' (COSR01), and is without doubt their finest collection of songs to date. Written and recorded in their hometown of Berlin by the CHICKS ON SPEED line up of Kiki Moorse, Melissa Logan and Alex Murray-Leslie with the production team GLOVE the new album sees the band collaborate with a number of their favourite musicians, including Miss Kittin, Le Tigre, Nicola from Adult and Talking Heads' / Tom Tom Club's Tina Weymouth, who teams up with CHICKS ON SPEED for a take on her own 1981 classic `Wordy Rappinghood'. `We Don't Play Guitars' features another guest appearance, this time from Peaches on vocals and guitar, and sees CHICKS ON SPEED deliver the type of perfect pop song they've so far only threatened. CHICKS ON SPEED, who began as a fake band at The Munich Art Academy in 1997, have explored and exploited all facets of music and art since releasing their debut 7" `Warm Leatherette' in 1998. The trio have created their own personal, international, "do it yourself" melting pot style and have more than established themselves in the fields of pop music, fashion and art. The band publish a book in October 2003 entitled "Chicks on Speed, It´s a project!", with London publisher Booth-Clibborn. As a very special bonus for the US-CD-edition only the double cd will contain 2 Bonus-Videos of "We Don't Play Guitars (feat. Peaches)" and "Wordy Rappinghood" as well as 9 (!) remixes of these songs by electronic music greats CHICKEN LIPS, DAVE CLARKE, TREVOR JACKSON/PLAYGROUP, CRISTIAN VOGEL, TIEFSCHWARZ, CHRISTOPHER JUST, GERHARD POTUZNIK, CAPTAIN COMATOSE and GERHARD POTUZNIK.

the only album that will make you jump and scream in excitement, no one but the Chicks On Speed will ever give you such a similar feeling actual Speed can give you!!!
COS Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuules!

support your local COS.......2004-12-24

I put off buying this album forever as I was hoping there would one day be a domestic release that wouldn't be so cost prohibitive, and here it is! I would say it's definetly more accessible than The Unreleases, and is a perfect follow up to Save Us All. Fashion Rules, We Don't Play Guitars (featuring Peaches) and Sell-out are worth the price of the cd alone, and more than make up for the very few filler tracks. the remix cd is allright, it's a nice bonus but nothing amazing. If you've never heard COS before, or think why should I care since electroclash or whatever is so 2001- COS represent the best of their genre, crazed electronic pop halfway between the go-go's and nina hagen. And they're funny as hell, and put on an awesome live show.
