Exit Planet Dust is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers.

[4] Their initial work included a remix of an Ariel song (a band which included Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers on drums), released under their '237 Turbo Nutters' name, and the track "Song to the Siren", issued as an independent single on Diamond Records, reportedly inspired by a nickname Ed Simons had.

[citation needed] "Song to the Siren" was made simply using a Hitachi hi-fi system, an Atari ST, a sampler, and a keyboard, using a sample of This Mortal Coil.

He decided to play it live in his DJ sets and suggested Steven Hall sign the duo to Junior Boy's Own record label,[citation needed] which re-released the single in 1993.

These six tracks include "Leave Home"; and edits of the duo's previous songs "Chemical Beats" and their first track "Song to the Siren", the latter being recorded live on the album from Sabresonic nightclub in March 1994, which belonged to Weatherall's act the Sabres of Paradise, who also remixed "Leave Home".

The duo became resident DJs at the small—but hugely influential—Heavenly Sunday Social Club at the Albany pub in London's Great Portland Street at this point.

The likes of Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller, James Dean Bradfield, and Tim Burgess were regular visitors.

[citation needed] The Dust Brothers (as they were known at the time) were subsequently asked to remix tracks by Manic Street Preachers and the Charlatans.

"In Dust We Trust" contains several short samples of the Beastie Boys song "The Maestro" from the album Check Your Head.

In 2004, the album was packaged with 1997's Dig Your Own Hole in a limited edition box set as part of EMI's "2CD Originals" collection.

AllMusic's top-marks review states "The Chemical Brothers' sound is big on bombast, replete with screeching guitar samples and lots of sirens and screaming divas.

"[1] Following the album's release, the duo were thanked in the liner notes of Better Living Through Chemistry by Fatboy Slim and Homework by Daft Punk.

Tim O'Neil of PopMatters described the former album as "one of the first albums—and probably the best, outside of the Chems' own later material—to take the rough template of [Exit Planet Dust] as a direct model.
