It was released as the second single from their second album, ''Dig Your Own Hole'', in March 1997. It reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Chemical Brothers - The Official Charts Company )〕 and number 40 on the American ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks chart. It also received a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance〔 There are two different edits of "Block Rockin' Beats" available; one is the version found on ''Dig Your Own Hole'', which has an intro, and the other version begins with the bassline. The B-side "Morning Lemon" is also available on the second disc of the limited edition ''Singles 93–03''. It was used in the 2003 ''Ongoing History of New Music'' episode "Alt-Rock's Greatest Instrumentals". Also it is a soundtrack in ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle''. Upon its inclusion on ''Now 36'', released on the same day as the single, it became only one in a few songs to be included on a ''Now'' album before it had reached the UK Singles Chart, with its booklet lineup correctly anticipating it as a number one single. ==Samples== The drums are sampled from "Them Changes" by Bernard Purdie. The vocals, "Back with another one of those block rockin' beats" is a sample from American rapper Schoolly D's 1989 song "Gucci Again". One reviewer opines that the track uses (without compensation) the bassline from the track "Coup" by 23 Skidoo.〔() 〕 The opening bass riff resembles the guitar intro from the Pink Floyd song "Let There Be More Light", while the bass sound is believed to be sampled from The Crusaders song "The Well's Gone Dry". "Morning Lemon" opens with a vocal sample of a man singing "morning lemon", and ends with a sample of Ice Cube saying "take that, motherfuckers!" (from his song "What They Hittin' Foe?"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Block Rockin' Beats」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
