"Zoop zoop. Beepbeep. Doopdoop. "Back with anothaone-a those block rockin' beats!" Doopdoop. A- weee- aweeee- aweee- aweee. Doopdoop. A- weee- aweee- aweee- aweee."

Such is the sound of The Chemical Brothers whose international success has them leading the electronic revolution with style.

Kids all over the United States are raving in their bedrooms, playing Wipeout XL on their Sony Playstations, and getting all dressed up in their parent's bellbottoms. Everyday is Halloween -- now more than ever.

This summer, instead of Snoop Doggy Dogg or Soundgarden, you'll be hearing "Block Rockin' Beats" blasting out of the rumbling and menacing speakers of the maroon 1978 Buick that's shaking next to you at the stoplight. Hey, at least it's finally something good.
