I agree with the bassline lovers... Is the bassline Silver Boots?

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

I prefer the orignal stuff heard on webcasts, but then again I guess this is the whole point of UW letting us hear progressive stuff - our opinions seem to matter which is unique for most mainstream bands. They could easily ignore us and bang a version out they feel is the best and not care what we think, so much respect for them to share the songs stages with us. Personally I think Phonestrap 1 is the best, the other versions are just remixes imo.

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

I agree about all of it. I thought the May 2006 broadcast version with the "Maggie is a doll and I'm a big sister" lyrics is the best yet. The newer ones aren't bad, but I love that bassline and those lyrics. Although Karl really sung his heart out at the Brighton show with the new version/new lyrics.

I love how UW releases songs like this to us their adoring fans. In stages so you can see how the song evolves. I tend to like the simpler/original versions best though. Cases in point Telematic Peel, Phonestrap, Biro the Leggy. (Although I do love Beautiful Burnout, but to me it is totally different then Biro the Leggy).

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

can we agree, then, that ALAF might benefit from being another bundle release?

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

Agree wholeheartedly! :)

Everyone's favorite is preserved, that way!

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

Yes, of course!

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

haha yeah in total agreement about Globe/Moth here man. The live versions of Globe prior to the album were allright though not remarkable, but Moth just turns into piano noodly crap halfway trough the song. :)

Who knows what Bamboo will end up sounding like! The first time it was ever known of was at a Boston gig I think, its been roadtested for so long now, but it could take some other form. We've heard the brilliant glitchcore version and a studio version on various webbycasts

Re: UWlive Audio: Now Open
 

personally i think we're overrating what was globe simply because many of us didnt like how it ended up as holding the moth. it was def. unfinished and needed to go somewhere, and they went where they did with it.
i agree it was probably a bit much with the noodly jazz chill that plagues the comps sections and everyone could do away with forever, but it's not nearly as bad as that and i'm even in the mood for it a lot.
