The Chemical Brothers returned in 1999 with their third album, Surrender. Highlights include “Hey Boy Hey Girl”, “Let Forever Be”, “Out of Control”, and “Music: Response”.

Surrender received a ton of hype based on its superstar guest appearances, and none more historically relevant than “Out of Control” with New Order’s Bernard Sumner on vocals. Being electronic dance music freaks from Manchester, New Order is like the holy grail to the Chemical Brothers and it’s easy to see why.

Surrender is both the Chemical Brothers most immediately satisfying work and, perhaps not coincidentally, the most like a rock album of their career. Unlike a fair share of techno, these songs have depth, not a just a collection of clever samples and a race to the fastest BPM on the planet
