Same here. Let the constant refreshing begin!

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

I wonder if we will be able to purchase Swing Up High both versions as its gorgeous!

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

I definitely prefer the old ALAF (the one we heard on the radioshows a couple years ago) to this new version. Sounds too much like Glam Bucket part 2 now. The earlier versions had this awesome bassline that gave the track a lot of groove, and they've not just removed that completely.
A case of working too long on a track maybe? Sometimes the initial ideas are the best...

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

i disagree

i initially wasnt a believer and sticking to the smooth'n'hard MO of the version with 'i'm a big sister' lyrics but this new iteration is really gorgeous. really all it could need at this point is a light dash of something extra, but now i see the where it's been crawling to and i finally dig it a lot.

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

I'm with you. Frankly, i think this track just keeps geting better. And with each version, there's some amount of resistance on my part to the change (for example, when they first added the "I'm a big sister" lyrics, i didn't care for it; the rolling bass that came with the last radio version, the staccato strings of this latest offering)...but they all grew on me pretty quickly, and this version still has the original spirit. They might be getting close to overdoing it (i'm still not sure about the strings, since they're present lmost throughout), but it's still a rockin' track.

I don't like this version of ALAF at all. I agree with King Of Snake, the bassline in the very early version was what made the song so nice.

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

i like the new version, but the VERY first is still my fave. the one in the video of Karl turning the pages of "In the Belly of Saint Paul". THAT one really grooved.

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

And also, the cymbals on the kickdrums are kinda ugly, I have never really understood why producers think that sounds good. But that's just my opinion :)

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

YES! I just watched that again last night after listening to this new version again. I'd love to see that version of the track live in video form be put up on the audio archive to show the initial version.

Could we please see that at some point?

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

i agree with Leon and KOS here too. the bassline is what made the track. have to wait and see what happens from here i guess. Globe got mangled when it appeared on Oblivion With Bells as Holding The Moth so there's a precedent for UW fiddling all the funk out of a track.
