Expressing their enthusiasm, The Chemical Brothers stated in a recent press release:
“Robin has been an integral part of our extended family since 1994, faithfully attending our early DJ sets. He has remained a constant presence on the dance floor, whether it’s within the confines of a buzzing pub basement or amidst the ecstatic festival crowds, braving all weather conditions. From the iconic Pyramid Stage to the revered Fuji Rock and countless other memorable locations, he has been there every step of the way.
When Robin approached us a few years ago with the idea of a book, boasting an exceptional title that would seamlessly connect our journey with the multitude of extraordinary musical and visual collaborators we have had the pleasure of working with over the years, we were immediately captivated. It made perfect sense. He aspired to weave together the tales of the clubs where we began, the process of nurturing embryonic ideas into universally recognized music, the evolution of our awe-inspiring live performances year after year, our personal favorite music videos, and the live visuals that fill us with immense pride.
“Paused in Cosmic Reflection” encompasses all of these stories and more. It serves as an open invitation into our world—a world we warmly welcome you to explore. Join us on this remarkable journey.”
