Jungle Magic featuring Karl Hyde

[big screen satellite]

check this fan/fun playmobile site out, which has done some animation using Underworld's inspirational music, but only the stills to the animation exist at the moment, no audio...

but i also discovered Jungle Magic, which features the voice of one Mr Karl Hyde as a Brummie airline pilot...

tis very funny...

click on the jungle magic link: http://www.freyart.co.uk/

also the other movies are worth checking out too


Matt

respect to Freyart for this, as you know i love the animated people....

[lloyd]

nice find :)

[leutin]

Superb find. My kids love playmobil and now I've got a good reason to watch this myself :)

[change]

That's funny, thanks! The music after Karl's voice sounds Underworldy to me. Does anyone else think so?

[testudo]

lovely, warm, fluffy

Wonder if it could be for "Ring Road"? Then again, since lots of the lyrics are from Karl's travels about the streets, this could be or anything! Anyway, big screen satellite, reminds me of your excellent Lego diarama of UW live! My brother an i used to try to animate with Lego people, but got tired (quickly) of the painstaking process and having to draw on their faces to change the expressions. Nowadays, Cartoon network's "Robot Chicken" solves this problem with paper bits of the toy faces!

Ladies and getleman this is your pilot speaking. Welcome abroad Friendly Airways. I'd agree that is UW music indeed.

Yeah, except that in the credits, music is credited to "Dad", not "Karl". :o

[testudo]

i saw the 'dad' credit... could this be rick's daughter?

it could be karl's daughter as well?

[DaddyAdv]

The opening credits say "by Freya Spiers".
So i guess it's the daughter of Dave Spiers, head of GForce Software (Instrument Plug-Ins) and a good friend of R&K.

/edit: yup: the hero's voice is definately Dave Spiers's (if your into music tech stuff: he's a regular on the Sonicstate.com Podcast)

the music after the flight sounds like some leftovers form the Breaking and Entering OST - it's lovely !

[leutin]

Me and the kids downloaded all these animations and watched them last night. They're all really well done and I totally agree the music on Jungle Magic is lovely.

There's a also beautiful ambient track at the end of the Evil Noah which sounds a bit like Underworld too. I couldn't resist ripping it for my journey to work this morning.

and if you listen closely, at like 18-20 seconds into the video (so, while the credits are still going) - there's a distinctive 'squelchy' sound that I've DEFINITELY heard in an UW track before, somewhere

[pafufta816]

i hope that rick starts contributing voice to more cartoons or TV shows. i could watch a whole hour of him reading poetry with a slide show of NY or London in the background.... a little entrancing XD

[crazysugarboy]

What utterly enchanting little films - and many thanks luetin for the mp3 download - a truly beautiful ambient track - I wd be very surprised if this sint the work of rick and karl

[big screen satellite]

i'll see if i can find out who did the music... if not uw, but it does indeed say 'Dad' under the credits...

Click on "Underworld Pigshed" at left.

What Dog = Barney?!

"More Underworld" shows some great shots of their gear and a BPM chart for the tracks!

[TheBang]

Wow, this guy's got connections.

You can see the small audience in the background that you can hear in the recording for the Maida Vale session.

What Dog = Barney?!
Yeah, the video stream for Barney's video is called "barneytheleggy"

I prefer the "Kylie's Boots and Goldfrapp's Shoes" page :D

[cacophony]

so did we ever get any more info about the music at the end of the "evil noah" piece? i was looking at my ipod stats and realized how frequently i listen to that track. but i still have a big question mark over the origin of the piece. were R&K involved or not?
