Elektrobank

Elektrobank is part of The Chemical Brothers’ 1997 album Dig Your Own Hole. The official Virgin recording credits the duo as producers and Steve Dub as engineer, and distinguishes the original album track from the later live and remix versions.

Its first section works through pressure and repetition: the drum break stays insistent as fragments of voice and electronic sound crowd around it. The later change of texture opens a different space, so the track develops beyond its initial attack.
