Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

Hmm, seems pretty developed for an improv...lyrics ("Vision, c'mon"), great hook (appears ~14:30), those great booming drums, then the entirely new direction/track after 18:00. But then, i see your point, especially since Karl says in the interview that this will be released soonish, could be EP material. Also, must remember we haven't really heard live jams from the boys since Peel Session 2003, so who knows what kinds of new loops they have for improving. This might become a common bridge between songs that in some months we'll all recognize (remember "Beep Beep" from the last tour?!)

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

They one day just need to release all of the improv stuff to uwlive.com, or sell it through uwlive.com/dirty as a limited run.

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

We also need to remember that they were testing these tracks out, so they're going to sound different later on (like KOS did and so on).

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

this is thrilling if the spirit of stiti is in these new tracks... that would be to die for... man how much do i love that style...

where is this link?

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

as good as STITI was... i'd rather that UW did not go backwards and relive old glories...the future is new sounds and ideas...not old style drum 'n' bass type tracks that STITI had influencing it...

i really don't think we're hearing new materials (unless they have specifically played a 'new' tune on the past two dates...any one know for sure?)

i'm still holding and reserving judgement until someone says this is the new single or this is an exclusive album track...

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

I'm not so sure, Big Screen... would anyone tell LTJ Bukem to stop making DnB? Would anyone tell Lil Louis to stop making house tracks?

I'm not so sure that UW would be "re-living" the old days, if they could trump them. At that point, all that's left is an air of familiarity... we'll see what happens this autumn, I guess.

I'm not so sure. I'm just not so sure. :D

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

oh i didn't mean that, but those two examples you gave are almost exclusive to their genre, Underworld did a spot of drum 'n' bass, and have dipped into many genres over the years..but i think just because STITI was a good album, then - they shouldn't necessarily go back and revisit it...

i think its 'of its time' and they should move forward - -we're almost 10 years on from that period...and personally i think the drum 'n' bass sounds played yesterday at Exit were so similar to Pearls Girl & Tin There that they may as well have been those tracks...in fact they did play Pearls Girl into this supposed new track - PG is a classic...but i wouldn't want it to be remade into something else now...

and personally (and selfishly) i don't like drum 'n' bass and wouldn't be that happy if this album went that way again....

new sounds new era is what i'd be looking for...Underworld are surely more inventive than doing drum 'n' bass again....?

she was a lipstick boy... :cool:

How i love Uw :o

Thats great gig indeed. That new piece.... Visions, Visions. ;)

I feel so happy now :)

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

that five minute instrumental "intro to BS" better show up as an actual song on the new album or else I won't buy it.

;)

Re: Drum and Bass!!!!
 

Well, you've already made the point that I was thinking of making, that being thta they've already dabbled in quite a few genres. What's left, IDM? Glitch? Drill N Bass? hehehe...

I know what you mean though. Believe me when I tell you that I would also love for UW to re-invent the wheel. But considering how free-form Underworld has been over the year and how unapologetic they've been for it, I think that unless they dropped electronics all together and started a jazz band or something, that their next album is going to have some sort of winding path back home to their other albums. This isn't always a bad thing though! :)
