Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Give Me The Room
Underworld & Ø [Phase]

Spoken from the book of words, voices that tumble ‘til they lose all meaning. An acid pulse rises to scorch them away. Intense, dark and compelling, 'Give Me The Room' is the cliffhanger for DRIFT series 1.

'Give Me The Room' is the third DRIFT/track to emerge from the collaboration between Underworld and DJ/producer Ashley Burchett a.k.a. Ø [Phase], and the penultimate part of episode 5…

If you like… Kittens, Dinosaur Adventure 3D and Dexters Chalk… then Give Me The Room belongs to you. Listen to more on the bigroombangersandstadiumtechnoman playlist.

Seems Ep. 5, Pt. 6 is called S T A R and is 3:45 long

This song is nothing like any of those.

I wish I had something more positive to say, but this one just isn't my cup of tea.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

um... a STAR has... 5... Points on it.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

weirdly excited for next week's track, this is the first time they've ever built up next week's release isn't it? feel like S T A R is gonna be something way out of the ordinary. my guess is it'll be a proper single but who knows


thought this one was pretty good - but it does feel like a long segue. I've been digging the jammy stuff though. I agree it doesn't really sound like the tracks mentioned...it's similar to...oh, I dunno...Yard Beat ??

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

I can hear similar claps used in Dark And Long (Dark Hard Mix)

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. And the programming of the drums resembles 90s era Emerson/Smith. Its really strong track. One of my favourites from the Drift series. This will be on album for sure. And I think that the album will include TOF too. I hope.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Let’s hope so....

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

If you're right and that's how they reveal 5 Points after all these years, it would be one of the coolest things this (or any) band has ever done. Holy shit. It's too good an idea to be real.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

lol I could almost buy it if it were some widely coveted holy grail and not something known only by like, the 15 people that still post here


I did speculate at one point that they'd use the Drift series to finish up a bunch of those old tunes that fell in between the cracks, would've been cool but given the quality of all this new stuff I'm not gonna complain

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

That's just because it's the last Drift release (for this series anyway).

Well, it seems like all the material released for Drift have been from stuff created since the Barbara Barbara sessions (mid-2014) and later. I don't think anything has been pulled from older archives and worked up for release. All the older stuff has been put out on the off-week World of Underworld releases, and with little to no work done on them. So, I wouldn't hold my breath for 5 Points, at least not as S T A R.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

True enough. Plus, and I think I've said this before, I strongly suspect 5 Points was a Darren Emerson track and that's why it's not been heard from since.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Sanctified!

Great beat, nice drive, similar to the other Phase collaborations...a fine, though somewhat unvariant, techno track. Dexters Chalk is my favorite of the three, and this is on par with Border Country. I love bangers from UW, so this is all right, but wish it had a little more going on. Maybe more will be added for the album, or we'll get some alt. mixes?

EDIT: a few more listens in... really digging Karl's vocals. Also, the melody is restrained. Do i wish it would go "Moaner"? Maybe. Well, it does start to lift off at 5:23.So, i retract my comment that it needs more variance, and suggest, this needs a trim/edit. Still, awesome track!

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Enjoying the track. Am very interested in how the drift album is going to shape up - are we likely to see a lot of edits? who knows. I am looking forward to the boxset!

A couple of things spring to mind. It seems we're not getting the third necks jam session/track.

Also, have all the songs been released that there were titles for in the sleeve notes that were released.

Finally, inferences that this is drift series 1 potentially meaning series 2 will happen when?

Can't pick a favourite still, but all drift stuff is getting listened to a lot here. Still a huge amount of love for appleshine continuum.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

I think there's a chance that "Star" is a Necks jam of Toluca Stars

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Yes, that makes sense to me. Good idea.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Not at 3:45 length.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

TOF?

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

True, but could it be a placeholder, that's been uploaded for now? I don't know how YouTube works ...

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

i didnt really expect S T A R to be 5 Points. that track is over 20 years old haha.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Ha ha! Love it! Old timers unite. SMFU*,right? SWFABNFT*?!

Well, Five Points is fine, but I'm holding out hope for a studio release of Cappe Ffuno, as heard in the Blue Mountain jam 1999 (mixed out of Please Help Me). That's my UW Holy Grail.

Anyway, Drift series 1 has been great, challenging, and diverse. Can't wait for the collated record to hear which tracks the boys see fit.

Don't forget 'Laughing Tortoise'

:P

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

The video is already uploaded. It's just under embargo until the premiere time arrives.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

as much as I hope it'll be a proper single I'm guessing it'll just be some sort of ambient/spoken word piece, like "Play Pig" or something

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 5 - Give Me The Room
 

Ok there’s a preview on Facebook. It sounds like a total banger and I’m already gonna say it’s way too short

Pretty obvious throwback to a certain Riverrun track too
