The Chemical Brothers have released an iTunes Pass in conjunction with their forthcoming 7th studio album, Further, to be released on June 22nd in the US.

This album is the band's first to include the distinctive visuals fans usually only experience at a live Chemical Brothers' show. Fans who purchase The Chemical Brothers iTunes Pass, will receive an instant download featuring an uninterrupted 51-minute audio/visual experience of the full album, Further, which led the reviewer for London Evening Standard to proclaim "If there's a more fulfilling, more sense-tingling way to present new material I haven't experienced it."

And this "sense-tingling" audio/visual presentation in its entirety is being made exclusively available only to iTunes Pass purchasers in the US and Canada on June 8th.

� On June 15, fans will automatically receive a 20 minute "Making Of" feature that goes behind the scenes revealing how the groundbreaking visuals for this album were made.

� On the album's official street date of June 22 fans will receive the iTunes LP featuring the entire 8-track album in audio form including an additional exclusive audio track "Don't Think" as well as the album's 8 videos that can be viewed individually. This special iTunes LP format also includes an art image gallery as well as an extensive photo gallery of how the visuals were shot and created.

� Finally, on June 29, fans will receive yet another bonus - the exclusive track "Pourquoi."

"We are delighted to work with iTunes and EMI Astralwerks in this special edition iTunes pass" said the band's manager, Robert Linney.

"With this iTunes Pass, fans of The Chemical Brothers can now get a slice of what it's like to experience a live show, Glenn Mendlinger, Senior Vice President/GM for EMI's Astralwerks label. "It's the first time fans have had access to their extraordinary visuals that have previously only been part of the band's amazing live gigs. The combination of high quality audio and video in the iTunes Pass format has helped Tom and Ed realize their creative vision for Further: to give fans a way to experience the music and visuals together."

"We wanted to offer the Chemical Brothers' huge die-hard fan base a special package that would give them first access to special content before, on and after street date, said Dominic Pandiscia, Executive Vice President, EMI Music Services in North America. "From previous experience, we know that super-fans really like and respond to this kind of iTunes offering."
