Listening for the first time now. It is a lot more cohesive than Lovely Broken Thing, and very good overall. I certainly see the comparisons with STITI. I feel like the keyboards that come in around 17 minutes (I guess it's Ancient Phat Farm Coat?) sounds like almost like an acoustic version of To Dream of Love.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

A while ago I posted this live track from the HMH gig, which turnes out to be now the second track on pizza for eggs :)
For those who wish to hear an extended version, this is very nice.

Re: Slicing the Pizza
 

i would go with:

PERFORMER "Underworld"
TITLE "Pizza For Eggs"
FILE "audio.mp3" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Food A Ready"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Back In The Fears"
INDEX 01 06:58:00
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "Vanilla Monkey"
INDEX 01 9:14:00
TRACK 04 AUDIO
TITLE "Flatz"
INDEX 01 13:42:00
TRACK 05 AUDIO
TITLE "Ancient Phat Farm Coat"
INDEX 01 14:16:00
TRACK 06 AUDIO
TITLE "Play Pig"
INDEX 01 22:22:00

Which brings in Back In The Fears at 6:58 not 7:05, brings in Flatz a second earlier and Play Pig 10 seconds earlier where Karl starts to say "Amnesia"(?). On the JAL to Tokyo EP, Food A Ready is 7:22 so you get an extended ending and the Ancient Phat Farm Coat is 8:05 vs 19:43 on the Japanese EP so its more than double the length.

To repeat the instructions I gave in the LBT Split Thread: Open the cue file you just saved above in mp3directcut and then using the Save Split... option with "%N %D - %T" and number starting at 01, it created 01 Underworld - Food A Ready.mp3 etc. Unfortunately it doesnt create ID3v2 tags, only v1.1, but Winamp can copy to v2 and then I can add the same comments that were in the original mp3.

mp3directcut is here: http://www.mpesch3.de/

EDIT: for mp3 tag editing, I recommend The Godfather which is a "postcardware" app. Its great at copying tags around and is also a great file renamer.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

i like it - it gets my approval

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

yeah KOS, they played it (edit: Back In The Fears) in Luxembourg too. ace :)

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

oh...so the 2nd song is not "Food a Ready" but "Back in the Fears", so I'll correct myself....

I love from 4 minutes into FaR until the end of BitF.........;)

Back in the Fears belongs on the "album".:cool:

PS....thanks King of Snake....that live version is amazing as well.:cool:

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Ordered another download and i got it now.Its definately a take back to the sounds STITI.s Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream Of Love is my favourite Underworld track and wouldn't it be great that the next RiverRunProject will be on a similar level.Any idea how many more of the project are coming???

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

from the KH interview on Pitchfork:

"Hyde disclosed that he and Smith have over 180 "segments" already written, so fans of the new Riverrun format can expect bountiful output from the series in the months to come."

i assume a segment is one of the parts, so LBT had 7 parts, P4E had six...so on average i reckon we'll have an average of 7 parts per segment, which i reckon is about 25 more downloads....

so start saving - thats £125...:D

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I really am in love with the track called "Ancient Phat Farm Coat". Reminds me a bit of Ansum wich was on the Dinosaur Adventure 3d single. Especially the part with the piano. It's just so sexy. I would love to hear more stuff similiar to that. Excellent!

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I guess not that many people are annoted by the artifact/glitch...

hmmm...:(

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

what glitch...can't hear anything wrong.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I like the lyrics on the full version.

"Sitting in the dark, in the kitchen everyone's in bed, listening to Joni."

Is this about Joni Mitchell? To me this song sounds a lot like Amorphous Androgynous, which is a good thing.

Re: Slicing the Pizza
 

Thanks, stimP :)

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Because i am annoyed by that glitch at the beginning, too, i made a repair file for the first 5 secs:
http://www.savefile.com/files/2098861 (5sec wav, zipped, 800kb)
You convert the mp3 to wav, apply the repair file with some audio editor (Audacity) and then burn it. enjoy:cool:

Pizza for eggs somehow reminds me of Pink Floyd...:D and not of STITI at all

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Again! What glitch! lol :)

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

oh come on, i'll make fun of those who think underworld are screwing us over with poor old 192 mp3, but you're deaf if you dont hear that "pfzt" at the very start.
it is a tiny, *tiny* bit bothersome, but i think i'll survive.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Thought someone said it was at the beginning of the 'ancient phat farm coat' track. So that's why i couldn't hear it. I do hear the 'click' at the start of the whole mp3 :) I don't mind though. Just close your eyes and believe you are in the vinyl record age and listening to one right now :P

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Another reference to an older track...just as "Lonely Bollock" from last year's Peel show ended with what eventually became "Peggy Sussed", the "hah amnesia" lyric from "Play Pig" occurs around 8 minutes into "Lonely Bollock"

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

ah i see your confusssssion, the glitch is in the beginning of the mp3 (food a ready) it seems weird that this happened at all, i mean i'd rather have a perfect mp5 for 5 pounds that 444 photos by karl's cell phone...

I think UW should re-upload the track, glitch repaired;

it really kills me to start it off everytime, with the 'pop'

where's the quality, or does it not matter cause this is an 'internet exclusive'
which no body really important will hear?

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I keep seeing Lonely Bollock mentioned but isnt that said "I am lonely bollock" at the start of Moaner "Relentless Legs mix" ?

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

By 'internet exclusive' I'm assuming you mean 'exclusive to anyone with access to the internet.'

This is how they're releasing music right now. Get over it and just enjoy the tunes.

p.s. I'm important, and I heard it.

:D

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Wow, this is superb. Love it and can't wait to hear this live.

Cheers Chaps!

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Funny you should say that, but I was thinking that in the car today. Definite prog feel about the whole thing that I like very much.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

:eek: good stuff :cool:


Hmmm...does anyone remember the Maida Vale show with Peel they did in 2003 or something? The one with that started with Luetin? Well, the sound sample that starts the Maida Vale performance is in the very beginning of this release. I'm such a nerd :(

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

2 cents coming...

after about 3 times listening this morning i'd say this is a more cohesive medley of tunes that goes down well and sets them up even stronger to doubters. scott was right when he said this was the best stuff since seven years.
but that's out of a whole.

the main advantage LBT has over this one is that PFE doesnt have as many "holy goddamn" moments in it that really make it an "event" so to say. to me anyway. peggy sussed was huge. JAL to tokyo told me there's still aspects of them that i'll always have to get used to, and billy goat excited the visual side of things.

so while the whole bag of PFE gets a top grade for me, i do notice that it doesnt really surpass the first four minutes, which is bliss on ice, btw.

2 cents deposit.

and yes, i just broke my oath to not be so hot on instant gratification, but come on, there wasnt any REAL reason not to get it.

and i just finished everything i had to do about 5 minutes ago.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

shut up everyone... :mad:

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I just bought it and I'm truly enjoying it; has some sounds that are a kick back to Becoup Fish, I think. very good tunes and I like the way that they are doing this right now; it's actually very smart when it comes to the marketing aspect; you don't necessarily want to release all your new material on a full-on CD, but it'd be nice to make a little money in the meantime, so you release it as a cheap download. The boys are doing a good job of keeping themselves out there, and I thank them for that.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

FYI, the glitch on Food A Ready doesnt occur on the Japanese JAL to Tokyo EP version and the tune is 30 seconds longer too.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

IMHO, jal to tokyo ep is 1000X better than lbt...
all the muscle, no FAT...well more Phat ;)

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

big big thanks to mike!


...listening to it now :) :eek: :D ;)

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I was hoping to learn more Welsh on "Ancient Phat Farm Coat".;) I had a great time repeating the lessons with my friends when we were snookered. I hope that sample reappears if there's a proper CD/12" release of the song.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Seems some dirties are of mixed opinion about the Welsh lesson in the earlier bit of APFC... i wasn't crazy about the woman's voice, but liked how the song's melody crept slowly out of her reciting random phrases. Dark and cool.
But the emergence of the new APFC out of "Flatz" is pure bliss, too!

After a month of listening to Lovely Broken Thing (and loving it), i'm really getting into the more-downtempo, guitar and keys of Pizza For Eggs. They're both wonderful in my opinion...can't wait for what direction the River Runs next...:)

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I LOVED the welsh lesson. :D

"Dullen - notice how it is pronounced - Thomas" etc... Was really fun.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

This one is very very good. I LOVE "back in the fears"
Thank you guys.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

I think this is one of the most amazing Underworld releases I've heard in a long time. Richard and Karl do it again.

It gets utterly beautiful at about 14:16 in… reminds me a bit of Little Speaker off A Hundred Days Off.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

i love juanita/kiteless. it just seems that the rest of the album is lame and weak in comparison. the b sides were way better.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

Now that I've given it plenty of listens to sink in, I think Play Pig is one of my favourite Underworld tracks post-Beaucoup Fish. I just love the mood of it, the lyrics and Karl's way of singing them.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

:eek:

Pearl's Girl is weak?
Banstyle/Sappy's Curry is weak?

Surely, you jest.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

STITI is the best start-to-finish UW album...period.


IMHO, of course :)

The b-sides on the pearl's girl EP are equally amazing. In fact, that's what Pizza for Eggs reminds me of--the ambient stuff on the PG EP.

Re: 'Pizza For Eggs' thread
 

wow. really?
