The record entered the UK Albums Chart at number 1 and debuted at number 65 on the ''Billboard'' 200. It was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 50th Grammy Awards, making The Chemical Brothers the first artist to win this award more than once. == Background == In June 2006, it was announced on their official website that The Chemical Brothers were working on material for a new album, then-codenamed "Chemical 6". Ed Simons of the duo was also quoted as saying that they would hope to "put a battle weapon out for the summer", a reference to their Electronic Battle Weapon series on white label. "Electronic Battle Weapon 8" and "Electronic Battle Weapon 9" debuted on Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show on 8 December 2006. The two tracks were later released as a double A-sided vinyl record prior to The Chemical Brothers' New Year's Eve appearance at Turnmills in London. A version of "Electronic Battle Weapon 8" is featured on the ''We Are the Night'' album under the title "Saturate". At the same Turnmills appearance, the duo debuted a track at midnight to welcome the new year. This track was eventually released as "Burst Generator", found on the album. The Chemical Brothers officially announced ''We Are the Night'' at their MySpace page on 21 March 2007. It suffered a delay in release due to an issue during production of the artwork. An online "old-skool" The Chemical Brothers computer game by EMI was subsequently released as an apology. On 12 April 2007, Tong was again privileged to debut a track by The Chemical Brothers. The first single from the album, "Do It Again", aired on his Radio 1 "In New Music We Trust" show. The album cover art was inspired by the work ''Things to Come'' by Bauhaus member Herbert Bayer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Official website MoMA )〕 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「We Are the Night」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
