The CHEMICAL BROTHERS are set to release a best-of album aptly titled Brotherhood. In anticipation of the release, here’s the video for “Midnight Madness.”

Midnight Madness

CREATE ʻMIDNIGHT MADNESSʼ THE WORLD OVER WITH GOOGLE EARTH
Ever since their inception in 1993, The Chemical Brothers have soundtracked numerous special moments in countless peopleʼs lives. Whether itʼs the music of choice for a big night out, or the key moment that kicks the party into ascension, or even the inevitable comedown period in the milky pre-dawn hours, it is nigh on impossible to contest Tom and Edʼs enduring impact. We’re looking for creative people worldwide to get involved as we bring together filmmakers and artists through the technology of Google Earth. This is an exciting invitation to participate, and you can do so by making a short film clip or photograph that revolves around the theme of ʻMidnight Madness.ʼ

Make your own short film clip (from 2 to 20 seconds), or take a photograph, celebrating the insanity that goes on at the stroke of midnight and related to the specific point of origin. Then upload it to Google Earth via The Chemical Brothersʼ website, and tag it to its exact global location. To do this you will need to have your own YouTube or Flickr account, and the site will walk you through the process of submitting your content.

The Midnight Madness global video project is a celebration of the odd things that people get up to at the midnight hour – take that as the brief. Think local. How would your film sit within Google Earth, and how does it relate to your location? Your film will be tagged to where you shot it.

Videos of any resolution will be accepted as part of the overall Google Earth project, but if you want your film to be considered for the main film the resolution needs to be 640×480 pixels minimum – and higher, if at all possible. You will also need to supply some contact details, and agree to the terms and conditions of the music video.

Deadline for submissions via Chemical Brothersʼ website for the film project is Monday 25th August 2008 at 13.00 GMT, but the sooner the better. All the creative work submitted from around the world on Google Earth via The Chemical Brothers website. Midnight Madness is released as a digital download on the 18th August and the long player Brotherhood is released on the 1st September both on Freestyle Dust/Virgin Records.

BONUS

This is one of my favourite mashups. It’s simple but so effective. The second two tracks have made their way around the blogs for a minute already but if you haven’t scooped it up yet, now’s your chance.
