Love this album, and Bloodstain is my favourite track. Just learned that vocalist Alice Temple was apparently a national/european BMX champion! I really like to style of this song.

Risingson and Angel are both amazing (also Protection, etc), but for me this song is absolutely perfect in every way! Plus bonus Coteau twin - Liz's voice on this is just incredible.

And now to my favourite Chemical Brothers track (with a bonus part of New Order thrown in;) They didn't make my 90s cut but IMO their very best songs are 80s)
Surrender is a great album too....

Change of vibe now. Back to the early 90s and another jam-packed album that i had on heavy rotation in the 90's. Lots of great songs, but am sticking with the opening track! (Don't think i've seen the video but am sure it's awful)

Beaster is great, but the first chunk of New Day Rising is my favourite for exhiliration (though obvs way out of bounds for this Top30!). Tilted is a top tune though.
