[b]Freestyle Dust[/b] is a sub-label of Virgin Records. It was set up in 1995 for releasing The Chemical Brothers albums & singles.

Both tracks on this single are taken from Courtneys' forthcoming album Black Notes From The Deep - the 19th of his career. The exciting and fresh interpretation of Herbie Hancocks' Butterfly demonstrates straight away that this is a dream team combination. With Alec Dankworth laying down the bass, Rod Youngs' drumming underpinning the groove, the song also gives the outstanding keyboards of Robert Mitchell space to stretch out - Omar's fantastic vocal performance rides sweetly on top of the dreamy backing vocals of Charleen Hamilton - and of course Courtneys' flowing, imaginative and creative solo perfects this modern version of a much loved classic. Rules is a brand new, collaborative composition by Courtney &amp; Omar - the punchy drums and bass line patterns hints simultaneously at classic jazz and funkier club-centric sounds. Courtney cooks on tenor saxophone and also the organ - whilst Omar marinades the super catchy melody with that unmistakable voice.
