Brotherhood is the newest compilation double album by The Chemical Brothers, released on September 2, 2008 (2008-09-02).[2] It is a second compilation spanning the band's greatest hits, after 2003 Singles 93-03. The first record features thirteen hit singles and one new track "Keep My Composure" (with a guest appearance of the rap group Spank Rock)—while the second CD contains all ten parts of Chemical Brothers' "Electronic Battle Weapon" series of special mixes, which the duo recorded apart the regular singles and albums since 1996.

Brotherhood is preceded by the digital single "Midnight Madness", a short version of "Electronic Battle Weapon 10", released on August 18, 2008 (2008-08-18), and promoted by the series of live performances in July and August 2008, throughout number of European countries. The single will be promoted by a user-generated content through Google Earth. Fans have been challenged to produce and upload a short film, from 2 to 20 seconds long, or a photograph based on the song that will become part of its music video, to be edited by producers Nexus.[3]
