New Crocodile stream at Pitchfork

[saintrik]

New high-quality stream at Pitchfork.

Yes. (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/forkcast/44711-underworld-crocodile-stream)

Lovely!

[viddy]

here's an MP3 of above stream, rock on!

Underworld - Crocodile (http://www.humanwire.net/Underworld_-_Crocodile.mp3)

sweet. i wonder what the "it's definatley not justice..." was supposed to mean?

[the real stuff]

I took that to mean Justice has been making waves in the pitchfork community, and despite Underworld also being electronic, the two bands are not anything alike.

I like the higher quality version better (of course) :) it's quite dream-like.

[the mongoose]

much better quality....thanks.

sounds richer and deeper now. the drums and bass are more intricate than I thought.:)

[BrotherLovesDub]

wow, this is incredible. much improved. i love the 120-125 bpm range. this is quicky becoming one of my fav. UW tunes EVER! (vol.14)

[BrotherLovesDub]

thanks saintrik + viddy! incredible, i've got the biggest grin on my face right now!

[bryantm3]

the SQ is much better, but now i can see what everyone is talking about this being a 'chilled' song rather than an upbeat one. for some reason it sounded more upbeat on the radio. *shrug*.

[TheBang]

Wow, there so much more detail, so many more layers when the sound quality is better! Can't wait for the CD.

yeah that BBC compression tends to make everything sound really in your face so it's always kind of a shock to adjust to the real thing. I had the exact same thing when, after first hearing TMO on Tong's show, hearing it for the first time on the album. It sounded so different.

Yeah! You gotta keep the Tong version around for the first listen aspect. This fuller version is sounding lovely on headphones.

[potatobroth]

wow. i cant believe how much more dancey the Tong compressed one sounds compared to the Pitchfork one. Hardly sounds like the same energy to me.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Fab - thanks for this. :D

[stauff]

Agreed. I think I like it this way :)

[crazysugarboy]

Utterly faaaaantastic:) Thanks viddy. I sooo adore this band:)

[the real stuff]

just lovely.

with the higher quality, does anyone want to take a stab at the words around 4:25 (I think it's Rick singing)?

[saintrik]

Stereogum (http://www.stereogum.com/archives/new-underworld-crocodile.html#more) picked up the Crocodile stream today, finishing their mini-review with "Can you say the wedding song of 2007?"

I think they meant that in a good kind of way!

LOL

[marcolphus]

I'm quite disappointed. It's boring, dull and doesn't even sound like Underworld... Pity.

I hope whole album will be better.

[King of Snake]

if this "doesn't sound like Underworld" then I don't know what does. I mean, it's pretty much Dark & Long part 2 in terms of rhythm and feel if you ask me.

[big screen satellite]

having listened to both versions in a row (Tong and Pitchfork) i'm really loving this now... the cleaner crisper (non radio) version is spectacular, and not like anything anyone else is knocking out these days, its typical quality from Underworld, and worth the wait since AHDO

I'm especially loving the melody, and what Rick has done to the production....

and when Karl sings "AAAAAllll these things in meeeee...." it sends a small shiver up my spine...

i'm waiting with baited breath for the plethora of remixes that are coming...

[holden]

Thanks for this...soooo much more enjoyable to hear than the Tong rip.

By the way, the Stereogum post says Oblivion With Bells is out 10/3 on Different. Different?

[testudo]

aye:

i take the post back. now that ive listened to the pitchfork stream on a proper setup, its still pretty dancey. stupid ipod earbuds.

This sounds like quintessential Underworld...circa dubno era.

I get those same chills, Matt.

its their best album since dubno, i've been told (by someone who should know)

[mmm skyscraper]

What's up with calling this the 5th album? Everyone knows it's the 7th. ;)
