As the sun began to set over the 65,000 attendees of this years HFStival, a monstrous construction began to take shape on the stage as the roadies frantically began to set up the elaborate video screens, computers, synths, and other odd gadgets and gizmos that all combine to create the tools in which the British techno duo, The Chemical Brothers, use to set off those "Block Rocking Beats". Like some futuristic Frankenstein, the monstrosity was finished in near record time and the lights went low as the sound system began to pulsate with a low, steady hum that gradually built up until the very walls of RFK were vibrating in time. Then, in one gigantic, near orgasmic release, the whole place explodes with wild beats and vivid images as the Chemical Brothers proceed to set the whole place dancing in technical ecstasy.

Perhaps the most popular and acclaimed techno artists working the circuits today, the Chemical Brothers proved their mettle ten times over in front of vastly more people than you could find at any rave or club. For almost an hour the Bros. twisted and tweaked and rolled and writhed in a non stop frenzy of futuristic sounds and psychedelic images as the crowd ate it all up like candy. Though due to the enormity of the sound, lighting, and video equipment that surrounds the two Bros during the performance you can never actually see the two during the show, the music and images more than make up for the lack of audience/band interaction.

Finally, at the end, as the last wave of sound washes over the crowd, the Chemical Bros. make their one appearance as they walk out from behind and underneath the monster, wave respectfully to the crowd and continue on backstage. And like ants the roadies scramble to frantically disassembled the great monster even quicker than they created it, leaving no trace other than on the memories of 65,000 people of the mind expanding event they all just witnessed.
