Next Single?

[testudo]

I am going to guess either Bird 1, Between Stars, or Diamond Jigsaw...

I think it will be logically be Between Stars, but I wish it was Bird 1... and the 80s freak in me wishes for it to be Diamond Jigsaw.

What do you think?

[BrotherLovesDub]

Diamond Jigsaw. That's my guess.

My logic = DJ was produced by PVD. They have to release his track as a single or else they're losing a great opportunity to cash in on his name. Guidos and shit dj's everywhere will buy the 12" if it has a PVD remix on it. There are a lot of guido's and bad dj's and that's just counting Jason Roth's friends.

[Lx_Nen]

I guess Diamond Jigsaw too... and if we see the pattern established with Bruce Lee and Ring Road, the obscure and experiemental 4th single might just be Moon in Water - I certainly hope so!

[the mongoose]

Diamond Jigsaw.


Bird 1 as runner up.

Man I actually lol'd at that

My vote's for Between Stars. It's the one that pretty much everyone agrees was the most successful union of Underworld + Collaborators + Pop sensibilities. Would lend itself nicely to remixes, too.

I really hope for some B-sides on this one. There are loads of tracks that we'd love to hear mastered properly, like the broadcast version of Moon in Water, the live version of Diamond Jigsaw, Silver Boots, etc.

The Om records website it's going to be 'Bird 1' out November 23rd.

That information is almost a month old. I suspect things have changed.

[bryantm3]

i'm guessing between stars. it might actually be 'grace', you never know.

[Dino3D]

Jigsaw is the most potential, or Stars. But without physical singles it is useless to talk about next singles.... :/

[Badger]

I reckon "Between Stars" is a good bet.
Think this will be an album that has a lot of singles come off of it.
Good bets on "Diamond Jigsaw"and maybe "Bird 1"also getting releases....or maybe the two of them on a double A-side? If such a thing exists anymore. LOL.

[joethelion]

I have to agree with BLD -

Diamond Jigsaw makes "sense" as the next single. It would be absurd not to release it...


also - I don't see how UW can't release multiple singles (like more than 3) off of this album
but I also don't understand that we've had two already, and not a single B-side!!!!

[purlieu]

I think Diamond Jigsaw would be a good choice. It already has a TV-style music video made for it and everything.

[Dino3D]

the age of b-sides are over. nowdays when nobody releasing physical singles the digital singles full of just remixes. it's a shit world we live in. i dont like it. i want the 90s when all singles are released in at least on 2 cd.

The Manic Street Preachers (good Welsh boys) still release physical singles and with REALLY GOOD b-sides. I understand its a different genre, but musicians still do this...

I miss hearing new great treasures like: Tiny Clicks, Like A Swimmer, Please Help Me, Oich Oich, etc...

I guess the boys feel that the RiverRuns allow them to show there b-sides off now... but nothing released through RR we never as good as the above mentioned.

[TheBang]

but nothing released through RR we never as good as the above mentioned.
Disagree!

[joethelion]

yea - the RR's were great. I just wish you could get them ALL as individual tracks

and it was kinda expensive to get the 12" ... If I remember correctly, you also could only buy them through hmv.co.jp too...

(but anyways)
It would be VERY easy to simply put those UWlive streaming-only files out as "digital bsides" or "digital companion whatever" to the album
as it also wouldn't make much sense to take the expense of pressing cd's/vinyl of the umpteen versions of ALAF

you wouldn't even need to necessarily promote them

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

after hearing disc 2 I wonder if they're holding off a bit on some of this. would love to hear some B-sides, I mean OWB didn't really have any besides "Parc" did it?

[DwarfeD]

The full version of Peach Tree was on both the Boy, Boy, Boy and the Crocodile singles. But since it was part of the RiverRun series, one could consider not a "real"/"new" b-side.

[testudo]

Disagree!

which track was better than any I mentioned... I do love 11 Hundred Hz, but thats also from Breaking and Entering.

Parc really isn't a b-side... it was the first track on an album, which should have been the first track on OWB then Crocodile is 2nd, this is the way I have it on my iTunes, etc...

JAL to Tokyo, Food a Ready, Back in the Fears, Peggy Sussed, Vanilla Monkey, Peach Tree are all better than Tiny Clicks.

Don't agree. They are close, but Tiny Clicks is better.

[Champiness]

According to the promotional info (http://www.underworldlive.com/news/newspage.asp?DID=1420), Between Stars had two music videos made for it. Seeing as the only other track to have this done for it was ALAF (which was the album's "breakout single"), I'd say that Between Stars is going to get a single release, if not as the next one, then at least at some point.
Also, in response to the OT discussion above: JAL To Tokyo is one of their best tracks in my opinion, and it's certainly better than (the admittedly good) Tiny Clicks.

[TheBang]

ALAF actually has 3 videos (4 if you count the Graham Wood videos as 2 for the Radio Edit and the Full Version).

[the mongoose]

The 2nd video for Between Stars (and 3rd video for ALAF) is on DVD extras. That extra vid is probably too abstract (and potentially epileptic) to release to tv stations.:D

Original Between Stars video is very well filmed and one of the nicer visual showcases on the DVD.

Diamond Jigsaw video is pretty weird but has a cute ending to it. Not sure I get the whole pants covered Hide and Seek thing though.;)

However, Bird 1 video and song is hard to top.

[TheBang]

I've been told that Bird 1 is the next single. Nov. 23 is a tentative date.
