My son discovered this in high school,and I loved it then!!!! He is now 43 and has progressed to much more advanced sounds Dead Mouse...... I am now 70,and I am still in love with this and much more. However the Chemical Brothers were my introduction to this genre,and I still am as excited now as when I first heard it! Timeless! Never gets old!!!
The fact that this song's base, Tomorrow Never Knows, was recorded 30 years before this song, proves just how ahead of time the Beatles were with that song. Hell it still sounds fresh even today.
+Michal Opitz That's right, in addition there are some another interesting albums, "Saturday teenage kick" by Junkie XL and "Vegas" by The Crystal Method ;)
This video freaked me out and blew my mind at the same time! Chemical brothers are true masters! Can you imagine a music video today having so much power and substance?
This video was an inspiration, it really ushered in electronic music. I remember seeing this on MTV 120 min, blew my mind and made the Chemical Brothers my heroes. Two scenes sell the whole video, first it's the drugged out chick meeting her party girl alter ego and the second is that the sound is so good even the cops start breakin it. Pure luscious induldgence, take me to this electronic paradise.
Remember when this song came out and it was on 120 Minutes on MTV. When MTV was about music. Matt Pinfield was the host. I watched to catch all the new music. The golden age for music vids was the 90s.
Yeah this track still has an amazing vibe to it. It was a favorite jam when I was a bike messenger in Chicago when it was released. Just love how they switch up Noel’s vocals when he sings “You’re coming strong and I like the way....” This song makes you feel on top of the world.
You're the devil in me I brought in from the cold You said your body was young but your mind was very old You're coming on strong and I like the way The visions we had have faded away You're part of a life I've never had I'll tell you that it's just too bad (x5) You're coming on strong (x2) You're showing your color Like a setting sun You're the devil in me I brought in from the cold You said your body was young but your mind was very old You're coming on strong and I like the way The visions we had have faded away You're part of a life I've never had I'll tell you that it's just too bad (x5)
Quite surprised by the amount of "thumbs down" on here. This track is phenomenal and still as intense now at 2015 as it was when it was released!! I miss 90's music....
That’s *exactly* what I was *just* saying to my boyfriend! 555 down votes (Dec 2019). I’d fr fr love to know what those 555 ppl consider good/worthy of a ‘like’
I'm from Santiago, Chile, 2 nights ago I saw The Chemical Brothers live for the 2nd time... And now i'm watching this video again....I love this song so much.. Takes me back! So many memories!!... I was 12 when it was released , i started to listen to the Beatles when i was 7, from there it was just brit pop, british electronica and british rock for me... I remember seeing this video the first time it aired and it was so exciting! Noel singing with the Chemical Bros was a dream come true! two of my favorite things together!... I had a great childhood and teen years... the 90's were a perfect time in the history of music when the "alternative" was part of the mainstream media and "the new " (or most "popular") bands were The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Blur, Pj Harvey, Cibo Matto, Garbage, Björk, Tricky, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Deftones, Weezer, Pixies, Rage Against The Machine, Portishead to name a few... and at that time Oasis was the world to me... I'm 31 now... i feel so glad to have been born in the 80's
What Raving was like in the 90’s. See, it was made illegal back then and it never stopped us. We just went underground or to the forest with generators or made private parties in airplane hangars. The music and culture just evolved from there. Rave on, darlings. 💃 🪩 🕺🏼
Had a night out with a few mates to a local, we were all on Setting Sun's. What a giggle, from when it came on until we got home........... a night to remember and never forgotten to this day, 25 years later!!!
If I could go back in time, It would be grade 8 in 1997! What an amazing time in music history!! For those who do not know, the guy singing in this song is Noel Gallagher from Oasis! Something about 90's music, fashion, and culture that brings back so much nostaglia for me!!
OMG 2:10 sent shivers, I've been there. That sound I have heard twisting through my ears, when I heard that I knew the Chemical Brothers were EXPERIENCED.
I'm 42 now, but I remember the first time i saw this video--and saw THAT part of the video--i thought, 'holy shit...that's ME'. Being a 90s party kid in the midwest made for so many excellent memories.
@@ggeemmiinnii I think 90s parties must have been the same all over, from australia and that wailing siren sound in this song just so takes you back to watching walls melt at some banging house party in the 90s lol.
@@Hardcastle83 Yep, I agree, most likely the same kinda vibe worldwide. Really made for a true sense of unity, I reckon. Seems like everyone is so divided and at odds now.
This was the coolest shit in the universe when it came out! I can understand how it might not resonate with the younger generation, but I think it still sounds fucking ace.
This was one of my favourite songs of 1996. Just before this song was released, an Australian rock band called Drop City had a minor hit with a song also called “Setting Sun”, and before I heard this I thought this might have been a cover. What a shock and surprise I got when I first tuned into this. Grabbed me straight away, and I was bewildered as to how this song made the top, as it was just so stark and harrowing. Only made No. 27 in the Aussie charts, but then again it’s always been a very conservative country music wise. I also like the Oasis song that this is taken from, and was wondering if anyone has (or could) do a mashup for this song and “Tomorrow Never Knows”? That’s my fave song from the Revolver album. I’m sure John Lennon would have loved this if he was still alive.
Top 10 electronic songs of all time. How did they create such big beat? This was heavy like Underworld's 'Born Slippy'. They were so much better back then. Their sound changed with the third album. More mellow dance than big beat.
I remember watching this video on TV as an innocent teen back in the day when it first came out and then about 5 years later re-watching it realizing what it was really about 🤣
Ringo Starr and The Beatles had NOTHING to do with the sound of this track, as proven by a musicologist hired by the record-company to pre-empt a court-case.
Set back relax surrender to the void it is shinning it is shinning it is shinning. It is the beginning of the beginning of the beginning of the beginning. It is shinning.
At 2:00 the girl's clone shows up, very much like Jordan Peele's new movie US. SHE IS WEARING A RED HOODIE AND A SINISTER SMILE, which is how the clones show up in the movie 🎥😱. Coincidence? No. Peele must be a Chemical Brothers fan, and was inspired to recreate the US clones after the Setting Sun music video. Boom❗❕
I was at this video shoot! Crystal Palace, London, it was a cold and wet winter night - somewhere in that mass on the stairs 2:28 - I was a Canadian living in London & used to see the Chemical Brothers DJ at the Social, Turnmills every Saturday night, one night I was given a flyer about their video shoot needing extras the following week...
Was filmed underneath the original Crystal Palce tunnels mate, I should know,I walked past them when they were setting up the shoot...if only I hadve hung around to find out what they were actually doing..gutted I wasnt involved in this vid
...1996. has a lot of meaning for me - I enrolled in college, met a great love...and teh music was wonderful. Ma God how we are old...it was like yesterday ;(
Same here, my friend. First job, got my first place of my own. England did well in the European football championship, the weather was good, the music was incredible. I always say to my dad that my 1996 was like his 1967, a real summer of love. What a time to be alive.
four years out of college in '96 and still living carefree. Was and still in Atlanta. Olympics was an experience and Braves winning WS year before. ATL was the place to be in mid 90's.
+Melissa Borges I was taught at school that "Revolver - I'm only sleeping" was the first track to utilise the loop technique. I'm pretty confident there was a certain amount of bias from the authors of the document; but eitherways, they were certainly more influential on electronic music than a simple drum sample (even if its an instantly recognisable and awesome drum sample :D)
