this has been on repeat on my iPod for 1.5 days now. what a spectactular is this track! Fell in love with the less-than-stellar-quality version of this from the Zurich(?) gig from a year ago and then sort of forgot about it until the Frankfurt show. Absolutely fantastic.

What a great track, and I love what it transforms to towards the end. I'm almost getting Juanita vibes -- kind of epic.

I just love the bits where Rick(SHABBY RICKY!) sings, 'musical, (something something), musical'.

When they started to play the opening beats of this track, I wished I was there in Frankfurt. I was pretty disappointed that they didn't have any cut aways to Rick when (I presume) was singing.

My other hope is that a video of this track will appear up on the archive at underworld live soon. We already have two tracks up in quicktime from the zurich show, why not make this one the third? Please.

It is a truly sublime track. Shivers down my spine when it started up. :)

Can't wait for an official release of this.

yes! This track sounded great last year and sounds even better now! Love the blobby bassline throughout!

Much like "Always Loved a Film", this new track ("All these Things"? HMH New Song #1, whatever!) is taking on epic proportions with each play.

What i'm hoping gets worked up on the next LP:
"All These Things"
"Always Loved a Film"
"Biro The Leggy" (yes, i know it's an AHDO leftover, but it's just lovely!)
"Globe" (dig those lyrics...dance!)
"You Do Scribble"

i think this would work together:

and i love this short track called "hard vibe" !!

Yeah this is generally known as "All These Things (In Me)" from the Zurich gig back in August 2005. I like the Cocoon version more tho.

here are the lyrics as i hear them...through wax and years of banging techno...someone, everyone, please help correct my mistakes...

is that you
is that
is that really you
to call (crawl?) between my lips
two cannibal? fingers push
through
scratch my back in rhythm
slow foot, slow fast
waiting for a (the?) night to wrap around us
i could go in there?
get some sweet stuff

all these things (in me)

Between this track and the opening track from the Den Atelier Luxembourg show last november, Vocoder Guitar(temp. title), they've been getting lots of play on their own playlist on my ipod at the moment.

One more gushing praise of 'All These Things', I love the version from the Zurich show in how it moves into 'shake that higher', 'dark & long', and nu train.

This track (All These Things) is sooooooooooooooooooooo good. I'm going mental everytime I hear it back on the recording. It's so freaking good!!! the lyrics, the repeating sounds. And after the lyrics and the "flutey" little melody, the robotic voice continues this REALLY sweet melody which makes me go mental.


It's the best thing ever.

the track that gets me going all the time, and probably won't ever be officially released, is the osaka improv #3, otherwise known as the jumbo intro/remix. I can't stop listening to it. seriously, I've had it on repeat some days for hours, it just does not get old.

I can't see that piece being thrown out, it's too good. As someone said before it's one of those pieces, like Biro, that will probably get reworked and molded into something new with time. I wouldn't be surprised to hear major parts of that piece as a song in the future, and probably not as a mix of Jumbo.

Okay, here's what i got of "Globe", the Sophia version anyway:

with a glass eye on you
with electric eye on you
who loves to be touched
with a glass eye on you
with electric eye on you
who could dance like you, dance like you, pleasure
who could dance like you, delay
keep it simple, one foot goes down, keep it simple
one foot goes down in front of the other
keep it simple, one foot, never to repeat
never to part (the sky?)
can you feel the darkness?
on you like a dog, on you like a dog
with a glass eye on you
with electric eye on you
who loves to be touched
who can dance like you, pleasure all day
can you feel it?
i'm holding a moth, moth
i'm holding a moth
floating under the net
fall down to my knees, kiss off, kiss off.
in the rain to embrace the mouth of everyday
every (something) never came
you walked away, you walk away
you took me home, you took me in, you left me.
with a glass eye on you
gall eye on you
with electric eye on you
who loves to be touched
who could dance like you, dance like you, all day
keep it simple,keep it.
one foot goes down
keep it simple, one foot in front of the other
never to part this sky
real thing.
is this your vision?
only a copy
leap on, leap off
but i don't know you
i don't remember you
(an invitor?)
(imagined?) soul,disconnected
why didn't you call?


i love this song!

That looks pretty good, but I think it's " I'm holding 'em off" rather than "I'm holding a moth". And "every car that never came"
And after "you took me home, you took me in, you left me" it's something like "where do we get out of here, this perfect skin"

and there's a bit later on that rhymes "playtown" with "dateline" which is awesome ;)

Globe is my second favorite of the 'new' songs that we are hearing in shows. What a fun song.

Always Loved a Film, imo, was at its peak in the short video of Karl turning the pages from 'In The Belly of Saint Paul'. That was the groovy beat I liked best in relation to the many, many stages this track has gone through. The newest few iterations are almost too tweaked for me; they make me think of 'Spy Hunter' :P Old version was groovy, new version is dancey.

Biro The Leggy is a pretty old track in relation to what we are hearing. Its being upgraded almost daily, so like a few others have hinted, who knows where this thing will be come album time. I personally like the Electraglide 2000 version and the second half of the Peel Show version more than the newer ones of this as well. The beginning, slow portion, works VERY well in the E2k show I think.

All These Things is fanfuckingtastic. Its my clear favorite of recent tracks for two reason. 1) what great sounds this tracks has. What great vocals and vocals sounds as well. Maybe a second and third verse will enter the picture but still... wow! 2) Its the clear favorite mainly because i have yet to hear a pristine version of the opening track from [shit! i forget which show i want to name and i left my iPod at home today.] Its the track that has the lines, "gonna watch it slide instead... numbers on the waistband, one pair of ---- feet. is this perfection, is it time for us to meeeeee-eeet." IF i were to hear a quality version of this track, i may have a new #1 :D :P

Yardbeat. Its fun. Nothing more to say on this one :P

Of the lyrical track, which new ones am i missing? What are all your thoughts on these 4 +?

Pretty sure Yard Beat is a Price composition, and it would take a LOT of growing for it to make a UW album. Fun transition track, but i just don't see it being released in any form near where it is now. I agree, Globe has such a fun groove, hope to hear this one released.:)

My favourite song is Birro the Leggy, it really makes me happy every time i hear this one:)

All these things is very good track like ALAF and Globe.

And the Morrocan Meatballs from Tokyo show, thats awesome rhythm!
Shake that Higher is good tracks also.

I really want to see all of these track being released on the new album. We like them, we know them, these tunes will be like a gift from Underworld.

I know that some of them are old like Birro and ALAF but I think that, they need a chance, In these songs I feel what I like on Underworld most. Its feeling that I have only from Underworld and I feel it on these tracks also;)

So thanks for these beautiful tracks.

Yeah, good spots! "Every car" seems right. Dunno about the moth/off debate...i can't tell and both make sense to me, though judging from the tone of Karl's lyrics, i think you're right with "holding them off". It's a very confrontational song!

speaking of underworldlive and settling issues... if there is to be a new hard release album in early 07 i would hope we'd be hearing something or hints of something around these weeks . . . . after breaking and entering maybe . . . . . if only to settle the issue of how this sweet poetry will be released.

Forgive me for not knowing, but I'm very interested in hearing this song, and I'd like to obtain it it legally.

I'm in the US, and I can't get to concerts. How can I hear these songs?

Any help would be appreciated!

Another hauntingly good new jam is "five ft 5", with Rick on the vocals:

"Sometimes all i can do is count...
by odd numbers...
one
three
five
seven
nine
about fifteen
seven..."

it's a short lil interlude, but when the pads come in, it's just very eerie!
Maybe the lil brother of the famed "5 Points" improv? :p

There is a good idea, bleed 'five ft. 5' into '5 points' before breaking it all down into some new track like, All These Things. mmmm...that sounds good.
