Crocodile = Can You Feel This Bass? / also Darren Price's role in Oblivion With Bells

[BrotherLovesDub]

is the song Crocodile the same song that we've been calling Can You Feel This Bass? or is it All These Things?

how many songs will Price have writing credits?

What about Yardbeat and Shake That Higher, both credited to Price on his myspace page? Are those UW songs or Darren Price songs?

:D

thanks lloyd!

cut n paste:

---------------------

"For its first album in five years, pioneering electronica duo Underworld solicited advice from the likes of Brian Eno, U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and longtime collaborator Darren Price to help sort through nearly 200 pieces of new music.

"These conversations inspired us," group member Karl Hyde tells Billboard.com of the October release "Oblivion With Bells," adding that a comment from Price helped turn live favorite "Crocodile" into the top-notch studio version the duo has previously been unable to nail. The cut is now a contender for the album's first single.

Hyde is particularly excited by tracks like the nearly nine-minute closer "Best Mamgu Ever," where "my voice pops out of it in the middle but then vanishes into lush electronics and conversations that are gated," as well as "Glam Bucket," which was intended for use as part of Underworld's score for the Danny Boyle film "Sunshine" but was reclaimed for "Oblivion With Bells."

Elsewhere, the angular "Ring Road" was inspired by a walk Hyde took around his hometown of Romford, England, "with a bitter eye around the time of the World Cup," while "Good Morning Cockerel" is "a very, very simple piece with just my voice and a number of layered pianos. It says something and it leaves, straightaway."

"This isn't the album we were looking at four weeks ago," he says of the set, a label for which has yet to be announced. "A couple of tracks made it in the last couple of days that were like, 'Wow! Wasn't expecting that!'"

Underworld will play new material from "Oblivion With Bells" during its 2007 tour, which played Lisbon tonight (July 5). As the trek progresses, the group will be refurbishing its Web site and offering a host of exclusives to its online fanbase.

The Web site will be absolutely central to the album," Hyde reports. "We will be selling concert recordings and films and continuing to give them away throughout the year. We'll also continue to do the Web radio broadcasts. We're hoping to do a Web TV broadcast from America with Quicktime, if it's at all possible."

Here is the track list for "Oblivion With Bells"

"Crocodile"
"Beautiful Burnout"
"Holding the Moth"
"To Heal"
"Ring Road"
"Glam Bucket"
"Boy, Boy, Boy"
"Cuddle Bunny vs. The Celtic Villages"
"Faxed Invitation"
"Good Morning Cockerel"
"Best Mamgu Ever"

i'm wondering if it's All These Things or Can You Feel This Bass. Now i'm sort of thinking it's going to be All These Things that leads off the album. as you can see, i don't have a clue. i'd like some confirmation from some UW peeps about this.

[TheBang]

We're pretty certain Crocodile is "All These Things". A preliminary track listing had track 1 listed as "These Things".

[BrotherLovesDub]

yeah, that makes sense. i can't find the link to the japanese review translation now, but i don't recall a song that made me think it was Can You Feel This Bass. i'm more interested in Darren Price's role in the album. i guess he's getting writing credits on Crocodile/These Things but what's the status of his other contributions?

i need a new hobby i think.

[TheBang]

To answer your other questions, these songs are probably Darren Price creations:

Yard Beat
Shake That Higher
Aquafunk
Can You Feel This Bass?
Circus Faker
This Race
Borialiss
Morrocan Meatballs
D's Ablt

I don't think we'll see them on any Underworld albums. My hunch is that he will also not be listed as a member of Underworld on the album. He is, however, a fixture of Underworld Live, and I think his songs will continue to be played at shows. Shake That Higher, especially, seems to have become a live staple.

[BrotherLovesDub]

curiosity satisfied.

thank you.

[testudo]

where's darc? :(

[the real stuff]

Karl's getting me pumped for the album.

Looking forward to the concert recordings and videos, too :)

[Ufotofu]

I think it's important to consider that (to my knowledge, at least) "Darc" has only been performed by Underworld once or twice, ever. Originally, this track was labeled "Dark & Long" on the UW website, and was only hastily relabeled when downloads revealed that it was, in fact, not "Dark & Long."

My bet is that "Darc" has been retitled "Glam Bucket" or perhaps "Boy, Boy, Boy."

[BrotherLovesDub]

from dodgy japanese translation:

6.Glam Bucket
The [shinse] arpeggio like the music box makes “Rez associate”, [toritsupi] the electric track/truck. As for 16 minute based groove impressions [eiteizu].

7.Boy, Boy and Boy
It is on the extended line “of JAL To Tokyo”, in electro- beat, blue Gee song of the cirque echoes, the lock of the new section. There is also an atmosphere like “Boen Slippy” to break, the floor may to do to prosper.

neither of those sound like Darc to me but who knows. it's one of my favorite songs they've written since AHDO.

[muzik]

someone may have already said this BUT:

I am really exctited for Beautiful Burnout, sounds like its going to be the studio version of Biro the Leggy. I had a feeling theyd put this track on the album [supposing im correct].

[undarrenworld]

Beautiful Burnout, sounds like its going to be the studio version of Biro the Leggy. I had a feeling theyd put this track on the album [supposing im correct].

Yeah, I was hoping for this or years;)
Its strong song!

[King of Snake]

Beautiful Burnout was definitely sounding great in the live version we heard at Wild in the Country. Glam Bucket's description sounds a bit like it could be You Do Scribble.
Darc...yeah if that's not on the album than please release it as a B-side! (or maybe it's gonna be the bonus track on the japanese release :rolleyes:)

[potatobroth]

anyone devotees getting the feeling that we've already heard more of this album than previously thought? Its sounding like we're getting 4 or 5 tracks that we've heard in some form or another -- be it live shows, lemonworld etc.

Don't get me wrong, they might be total kickass renditions, fully realized and all and that too is awesome.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Darc...yeah if that's not on the album than please release it as a B-side! (or maybe it's gonna be the bonus track on the japanese release :rolleyes:)

Stop stirring the shit KoS :p

BB sounded absolutely awesome live this time - we heard at the Cocoon gig too last year and it was good but not perfect. This time round it sounds lush. Really looking forward to the studio version of this.

[the real stuff]

does this recent version of Beautiful Burnout resemble the version they played at 2000 Electraglide? that was easily my favorite rendition of the track.

edit: since that one doesn't have lyrics, I guess it's better off calling it 'Biro the Leggy' still..?

No, that track is ACTUALLY called Biro the Leggy.

[Tendinha]

Biro the leggy has the lyrics of beautiful burnout and some sounds but it's not the same track!

[change]

Glam Bucket's description sounds a bit like it could be You Do Scribble.

I got the same idea from the description of Glam Bucket, but from Karl's description in the billboard article makes it sound like a new, different track. Freebies and web-based goodies make me happy. :)

[King of Snake]

Biro the leggy has the lyrics of beautiful burnout and some sounds but it's not the same track!

well, the way I see it that Biro The Leggy evolved into BB.
They've played various different versions of the track over the years but there was never an official release of a track called Biro The Leggy as far as I know, so BB should be the definitive version.

does this recent version of Beautiful Burnout resemble the version they played at 2000 Electraglide? that was easily my favorite rendition of the track.

The electraglide version has a 4 on the floor beat and no lyrics. The version we heard has lyrics and more of an electro breakbeat. That percussion groove is still there as is the background synth pad.

[Cadevil]

I thought a piece of Biro the Leggy was used in Mo Move on the AHDO...

Was it the intro of Mo Move?

i thought it was supposed to go before 'mo move'. i remember there was a demo called 020202 that sounded like moaner and had the lyrics of sola sistim.

020202 was orginally gonna be the finished Sola Sistim but was changed when it was mentioned to UW it sounded to similar to Moaner.

[Cadevil]

So can anyone confirm (for those of us who haven't heard it live) that Beautiful Burnout is similar/totally different than Biro the Leggy?

id be surprised if it was similar, being that that song already has a name, "Biro T Leggy". But we'll find out soon enough ;)

From todays' underworldlive.com post:

Darc is 'Darc'
Glam Bucket is 'Glam Bucket'
&
Boy Boy Boy is 'Eager Hot One'
names have been changed
to protect the innocent
what you are about to see
is a recreation of events
that actually tok place

today we start two daze
of photographing with
master photographer Perou
soon to been seen
somewhere near you So that clears all that up then.

[stauff]

Eager Hot One? Now I'm even more confused than before :confused:

[TheBang]

Yup, I suppose it does. It sounds like probably the only tracks we've heard before are tracks 1-4 in various forms. For those complaining about having heard so many tracks live already, it's not like it's without precendent. Push Upstairs, King of Snake, Rowla, Born Slippy, Air Towel, Puppies, Juanita, and Nuxx were all heard in various proto-forms in live shows 1-2 years before their album release.

Interesting about "Boy Boy Boy". On the http://www.warnerchappell.co.uk/ site there's a listing for "Eager Hot One R55", which, if the other titles are a hint, seems to indicate that it's gone through at least 55 revisions! (By comparison, Darc is R18, Globe is R17, and Crocodile is R8.) I wonder if "names have been changed to protect the innocent" is referring to the content of "Boy Boy Boy"? Interestingly, they also have a song titled "Boy" but that seems to be separate from "Boy Boy Boy".

On a different note, looking forward to new Perou pics!!

I shall simply wait for the moment when the cd is in my cd player and I can identify the tracks from the cd insert/notes - it's how I normally remember track names:rolleyes:
