Loops of Fury is a non-album EP from The Chemical Brothers in 1996. It reached #13 on the UK charts. It stayed for one week.

Even as a non-album track, Loops of Fury is considered by many fans and the media as one of the single strongest Chemical Brothers tracks ever recorded. Released after Exit Planet Dust and before the breakthrough Dig Your Own Hole, it has been curiously neglected by best-of compilations (appearing only on the bonus disc of early releases of Singles 93-03) and live performances. However the titular track gives evidence to the squelching synth lines and hard hitting drums that became the Chemical Brothers' sound of the late 90s and would be the blueprint of their tracks for years to come.

The title track was used in the Playstation game Wipeout 2097 and appeared on the accompanying compilation album; Get Up On It Like This was included in a reworked form on the subsequent album Dig Your Own Hole.
