-"Freestyle, freestyle, pure freestyle"
-"The world is full of opportunities and we are the men to dash them."
-"What influenced us most was probably discovering Public Enemy and Jesus and Mary Chain at the same time"
-"I don't see anything wrong with rock'n'roll. It's not rugby music."
-"We see ourselves as a dance thing. I don't feel part of the rock scene. We're not on a crusade to make dance and rock as one. It's just that a lot of people think we are."
"We were taking it around to the dance shops down in London, and everyone said it was too slow and that no-one would play it. People laughed at us! Because it was only 111bpm".
-"I remember a friend of my brother had just bought the first Public Enemy album on import. When 'My Uzi Weighs A Ton' came on I thought it was the most amazing record I'd ever heard. I started getting all these hip-hop records, Schooly D, Eric B, but at the same time I was really into stuff like My Bloody Valentine. I suppose I was a bit mixed up."
-"We were trying to copy Meat Beat Manifesto, Renegade Soundwave and Coldcut"
"Ariel symbolically ended when Deconstruction asked us for a Dust Brothers remix of an Ariel track. That was the final nail in the coffin"
-"It's always been a natural thing for me, spending my money on all those imports. What attracted me, people like Mantronix and Public Enemy was just the way the beats rule"
-"We're definitely going to put it together because it would be such a cool thing to have for a party or in your car or just to listen to all these pieces of music put together. Either this year or next year"
-"I love hip hop"
-Tom Rowlands, Chemical Brothers, DJ, 1970
