Data Insight

Further was written and produced by Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons and marketed as their first album without guest collaborations. In practice it keeps the focus on the duo's own playing, with Stephanie Dosen adding wordless session vocals on "Snow," "Swoon," and "K+D+B" and Bruce Woolley contributing theremin. The album is built as a continuous suite, written entirely by the duo without outside songwriters.

The Chemical Brothers' seventh studio album, released June 21, 2010. An entirely instrumental, largely ambient and psychedelic work with no guest vocalists. The album consists of 8 tracks designed as a continuous listening experience. It won the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards. The Wikipedia article does not list individual per-track writer credits; all tracks are composed and produced solely by Rowlands and Simons.
