I love the wholesome father/daughter relationship she seems to have with her trainer. She seems to care little about her actual parents- the father seems to care and root for her but she is still indifferent, as if he was trying way too hard; then I don't know if her reaction at her mother's arrival with her boyfriend is one of feeling reassured or rather cotemptuous indifference like "fuck I cannot fail in front of this hag". Whatever the case, the thing is the one sharing her struggle and joy is the trainer, and eventually the team girls. Quite hearthwarming actually.

Her divorced mother shows up late with a boyfriend. She suffers an extremely painful injury, yet performs perfectly through intense pain. Then we see that ultimately, this moment of incredible sacrifice and triumph goes completely unnoticed and is quickly forgotten. :( (I love the photo of the Chemical brothers in the trophy case)

I was searching for words myself, you nailed it. Only about the end, I'd go even further: the moment of victory was all there was to gain, then it turns into a bunch of crap, which is the trophies. Any second I expected her to show up, wrecked by anorexia... And that moment of triumph ... I'd say the father, left by his wife, was a merciless force driving his daughter to these extremes - it was his moment of triumph even more than hers. Some month and a re-watch later, I venture as far as to suggest, that the girl is thoughtlessly used by the father, and almost forgotten by her mother. A tragic figure with an empty triumph. The title "elektrobank" does not really sound cosy, either.

4:00 onwards. THAT break, THAT physical buzz, even though acted as it is, still gives me a massive effort buzz.

@@omnirhythm I’ve also listened to a lot of things in my life and I can say that the Chemical Brothers were pioneers of electronic music in a conceptual way, not only made for dancefloors like preety much of the 80’s electronic bands and DJs had done. I can affirm that DYOH is the first electronic conceptual album ever released. We can mention Prodigy, Daft Punk, Boards of Canada and many other bands that also made that, but the Chemicals were one step ahead in terms of production and concept. And, of course, the unparelled and unique (big) beats that only them were able to create. Daft Punk’s Homework, for example, was super hyped in the 90’s, but it did’t age well, so they were pushed to make pop music. And The Prodigy, which I’m a big fan, was the “hardcore” electronic. None of them were able to create monumental moments in the tracks and make such a variety of songs, from psychedelic ballads to the Beatles-esques Setting Sun and Let Forever Be. DYOH is an sonic experience that still (and will) sound fresh in the future. Sorry for the long text, I just had a smoke and revisited the old and good Dig Your Own Hole. Cheers

I get the feeling that when the Chemical Brothers made this their music video for this song, they were fully intending for a sports channel to use this as a promo for them or the BBC to use it in a promo for their sports coverage, with every sports covered by the channel in the promo. As the tune plays, it cuts from football to rugby to tennis to rally to Formula 1 to cricket.
