About
Policy
This archive reads The Chemical Brothers as a catalyst: something that starts a reaction and comes out of it unchanged. Every album, single and EP sits on the main shelf, everything else in the annex, laid out as a record of the reactions.
Facts and views
Every fact carries a source. Facts without one are left out, and their place stays marked as an empty slot. Views are written by DJ Naoyaman and set apart in inverted blocks. English views are translated from the Japanese original.
Sources
The Sources page records each source's publisher, date, language and the date it was checked, with links back to the pages that use it.
Quotes
Testimony is quoted briefly, in the original language with a translation. No lyrics are reproduced.
Images and colour
Sleeve images appear on each work page as quotations for review and commentary, with their source shown. No official logos are used. Plate colours are taken from the artwork; works without an image yet are shown unprinted.
Embeds
Only official YouTube videos are embedded, in this order of preference: official video, official live footage, official audio (Topic).
Advertising
Affiliate links appear only in the Own section of each work page, never inside the text. A disclosure sits next to them and in the site footer, together with the standard Amazon Associates statement.
Made by
DJ Naoyaman (Naoya Miyazaki). See the profile page for more.
