Further (The Chemical Brothers album)

The album, along with its visuals, was released as a bonus DVD on deluxe edition, as an iTunes LP, and as an iTunes Pass feature in US only. As a part of the iTunes Pass program, those who purchased it received an unreleased track, named "Pourquoi", on 29 June 2010. The standard edition was released on CD, containing just the eight-track album.

Further is their first album not to feature any guest collaborations. Though there are no guest collaborations on the album in the traditional sense, Further features Stephanie Dosen on vocals and Bruce Woolley on theremin as session musicians. Tom Rowlands sang himself on certain tracks.

The album was the duo's first on Parlophone, ending fourteen years of releases on Virgin, although both labels are owned by EMI.

Although it charted in many other countries, the album was excluded from the UK charts because British chart regulations forbid prizes being used as enticements to buy albums, and all formats of Further included a competition to win an iPad.

In the United States, the album debuted at No. 63 on Billboard 200,{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/2010-07-10|title=Billboard 200: July 10, 2010 |magazine=Billboard}} No. 3 on Top Dance/Electronic Albums,{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/dance-electronic-albums/2010-07-10|title=Dance/Electronic Albums: July 10, 2010 |magazine=Billboard}} and No. 15 on Top Rock Albums,{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/rock-albums/2010-07-10|title=Rock Albums: July 10, 2010 |magazine=Billboard}} selling 7,000 copies in its first week.
