Days after they completed their world tour with a set at V2002, the Chemical Brothers are heading straight for the studio to begin work on a follow up to ‘Come With Us’. "We don't muck about," Ed Simons told reporters in the US. "Our studio is in Elephant and Castle in South London and we reconvene Monday to start again. I've got a month before I get married, and I'm gonna spend that month thinking about how we're going to move forward musically." The duo have also said they are considering using unknown vocalists for their new project. "I think it'd be great to find someone - to get someone strange out of Rough Trade Records and pursue it from there rather than work with these big iconic figures," Simons said. "I loved working with Richard Ashcroft, Noel Gallagher and Bernard Sumner, but it'd just be cool to do someone people have never heard of." But collaborations with the pop nobility aren’t likely to dry up completely, with both Blur and Jeff Beck hoping to use the Chemical’s production talents on forthcoming projects. "Blur want us to listen to some music they're making with the possibility of producing or co-producing with them," Simons confirmed.
