Barking Instrumentals

[BrotherLovesDub]

So, OM released an instrumental version of the album? How can we order this? Has anyone bought it?

[TheBang]

AFAIK, it's promo only. Here's a picture:

WANT

[BrotherLovesDub]

I found a download but I want the cd. Wonder why it got promo'd.

[Georg.]

I'd love to get this CD, but as it is a promo only again it will be impossible unless I pay a fortune of money (which of course I haven't)...
:-(

[hypeless]

whyyyyy

[testudo]

I want on vinyl

you should clean out your inbox.
and post a link to the promo cd.

[purlieu]

Ah, more music they're letting everyone hear except your average, every-day fan. Cheers guys!

[mark3]

I have it. This one is on Chrysalis Music Group though (shitty pic below).

Bird 1 6:53
Always Loved A Film 7:45
Scribble 7:05
Hamburg Hotel 5:16
Grace 7:13
Between Stars 6:35
Diamond Jigsaw 5:51
Moon In Water 5:50
Louisiana 4:54

Nothing special, really, but a nice collector's item.
You already know the instrumental versions of the three singles
Hamburg Hotel is identical to the album version.
Grace has a longer outro...
The rest.. well, pretty much the same as the album versions - just without Karl singing (or Danielle speaking).

Instrumentals are great, because you can sing over them in the car :D

[stimpee]

whyyyyyThe clue is in the pic on the 1st CD. "for licensing..." its a promo item. meant for TV/movies/ads etc to license the music. Thats my take on it. Very smart move i think (if true).

[Champiness]

Seeing as I probably couldn't get a physical copy of one of these if I tried, could somebody please send me a link?

[buzzelvis]

I would also appreciate a link..... please.

thanks.

[undarrenworld]

Thats awesome info, that the instrumentals exists. Any tips where to get the cd?:(

Just want to re-iterate this post here: http://www.borndirty.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9128

Promo or not, no links here please.

[lowbit]

It's okay to post links to copies of the promo for sale, though, isn't it?

Anyway, as someone who's sat through it a couple of times, I would say that if you're looking to track down a copy for listening, don't bother. With all the vocals and speaking parts stripped out, most of the tracks become a little (or in a few cases a lot) annoying before they're finished, and may end up detracting from your enjoyment of the full versions.

As possible material from which to cull brief snippets for commercial use: fabulous, but to listen to straight through: not so much.

well, everyone knows about online shops, and ebay, etc.. so no harm there..
distributing the actual tracks or pointing to those sites, different story..

well, i like listening to instrumental versions sometimes just to hear the
other sounds that get vocals on top of them.

and of course, these are essential for making new mixes/dubs, etc..

but yeah, it's probably not for everyone.. just the collectors, and
fans looking for unique stuff..

hmmm, i am sad that Underworld hasn't released this properly.

[testudo]

Can you believe I am still looking for this... I must be the last Dirt.

[Champiness]

By no means! I'd love a copy of this!

I bought my copy of this at eil.
But it was sold much cheaper (around 30 Dollars if I remember correctly) twice a few weeks ago on ebay... Just keep checking!

[testudo]

any dirt that tell another dirt to shell out $60 US dollars (or $80???) for ONE promo cd, IMHO is NOT a dirt. This really isn't a collectible. Its a small batch of promo CDs that should be released through UWlive... or iTunes even.

I still don't understand why UW has not released this... and there whole back catalog as well in instrumental format... I see a band like Doves do this and I think... ummm why hasn't UW done this.;.. its kinda weird. :confused:

it's not weird at all.. it's just a choice.

just curious, but how many people do
you really think are that interested
in instrumentals? besides a small handfull..

how many other instrumental albums have they had before
based on album? NONE

yes, there are some instrumental versions in the
remixes..and some of the songs are mostly
instrumental anyways, so how different do you
think those would be?

again, it's mostly a licensing issue..and
i'm sure if you wanted to use them in commercials,etc.
they would be happy to see that...

This really isn't a collectible. Its a small batch of promo CDs

'small batch of promos' = highly collectible

[testudo]

to me: a collectible is a 12" from 1992... not a cd from this year... that is just wrong.

Is this some poetic meter I'm not aware of?
Regardless, how much would it cost them to put something like this up digitally on Underworldlive? It's not like CD's; if they only sold one a year they'd still turn a profit on it. So why not?

i really don't think it's an issue of money..
it's more of interest, and control of the
distribution of it..

i write this following on a viewing of Everything;Everything and the Barlking videos DVD. Frankly, i'd rather hear a collection of B-Sides or alternate takes (given for Barking) than instrumental mixes. Boring! I love hearing Karl's voice and lyrics. A stripped down vocal mix seems very karoake to me, esp. if i know the full vocal version. Would much rather hear something entirely different. Collectible or not, who cares if it's a derivative of what everyone else has already heard?

that's probably why the alternate versions were included in the deluxe boxset
as opposed to just the instrumentals.. because it's more interesting to most
people to hear those..

I've always had a bit of a problem with this sort of 'manufactured collectibles' kind of thing.
But then, I suppose it's released now so that it'll be collectible in ten years.
The point is, I would kill to get a copy of this! (but not pay $60, go figure)

Also, 'sup dirty forums, just pretend I've always been here.

Some of you seem to have missed the fact that this was never intended for general public consumption. It's a promotional disc from the label intended for music licensing purposes (TV commercials and the like). They didn't specifically release it like this to make it hard for you to get. You were never the intended audience for this.

yep - i agree...

like most 'promotinal' versions tbh, radio edits being the most recognisable... most fans here hate shortened versions of the epics but 'edits' are a must have for radio stations, and as such are better produced by the band themselves than some dj just chopping a track to make it fit. (hence radio edits on promo cd's)

these radio edits get released via promo - but again are not intended for public comsumption, collectors hunt them down for uniqueness and collectabilty but they are nothing more than oddities of the industry rather than 'releases' by the band...

i was an aviid collector back in the day, and would have grabbed the instrumentals disc just to have it, but its not essential, not worth putting up for sale online and not worthy of discussion tbh... yet I do have them on file, i certainly wouldn't pay for them and certainly don't expect the band to release them...(i don't really listen to them either - i just have them 'there') they are not what was intened for release, and generally won't ever be considered 'back catalogue', unlike alternative versions which are generally work in progress type tracks and much more worthy of inclusion.

if we make the case for these to be put for sale, we could argue everything that UW have recorded should be sold to us... the decision has been made that these are not for sale - so accept it and move along ;)

[testudo]

I really only want it for one track... Diamond Jigsaw (since I am a such super fan of that track)

I refuse to pay $60.00 USD or more for 1 track... so sad.

well, if you don't mind getting just the file,
i'm sure someone here could help you out.

unless you find it out 'there' on your own..
or just buy it, and sell it back... that is some
effort, but it's a thought..

About half the tracks have different run times. usually not more than 10-15 seconds, but grace is 2 minutes longer. http://www.discogs.com/Underworld-Barking-Instrumentals/release/3595376
