Grace
 

Just so you know there is a short sample of 'Grace' from 'Barking' in the UK Itunes store here:

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/...xe/id382676304

Hard to form opinion on this short sample but sounds decent!

Re: Grace
 

i believe it is for sale, also. it sounds like moby actually. when i first heard karl i thought moby was singing.

Re: Grace
 

looks like there's a "Buy" button next to it...

Re: Grace
 

"you do scribble (abbey road version)"?

Re: Grace
 

Interesting. Another version, or perhaps (more likely) the same version as on CD2?

Re: Grace
 

i've bought it.
it sounds like karl to me.
f***ing ace.

Re: Grace
 

Is it a mistake to be able to buy Grace now?

Re: Grace
 

underworld - rule

this track is grACE!

thanks, get it before its discovered as an error, unless its not... either way its there to buy NOW

Re: Grace
 

Downloading now.

Re: Grace
 

I don't think so. There's a Single listing for it, with today listed as the release date:

Re: Grace
 

THIS.

This is what leads to illegal downloads. Japanese-only tracks, pre-release special purchases if you live in another country, hearing about an album 2+ months before its release, etc. It's all soooooo tempting! :)

iTunes US doesn't even have Barking on it. I just tried to buy from the UK store but no luck.

Sample is fantastic. Grrr!

Re: Grace
 

this is up by mistake i think.
just seems odd.

Re: Grace
 

lame.

itunes uk. can't purchase.

perhaps tomorrow it'll be avaliable in uwlive's shop.

Re: Grace
 

It is sad that you can't purchase this in the US

Re: Grace
 

How many singles is this album going to have?? Who knows if it's a mistake, either way cool news ;)

Re: Grace
 

Worked for me through the uk itunes store. It came with generic barking album artwork, but the ID tag says 'grace - single' so I'm not nearer to knowing if it was meant to be a single or not.

Sounds great though, although fading out at 5 minutes does leave it feeling a bit unresolved, which would work well in an album context, but perhaps there's an extended version in the works if it really is a single?

Re: Grace
 

well, pete tong said that ALAF was the new single, so maybe this is the 'b-side' to that - cos i'm not sure its a strong enough track for 'single' status, as much as i like it.

btw - anyone else getting the yazoo / vince clarke 1982-ish synth vibe from the track (those that have it - that is...)

ok only me - moving on....

Re: Grace
 

why not avail on the website? this feels very flukey.

Re: Grace
 

I like it. It really keeps the dark, airy vibe of Telematic Peal.

Re: Grace
 

could only hear the sample. it'd be ridiculous to say anything about that

Re: Grace
 

YES! I was really hoping this would be on the album.

Not quite as wonky as the original Telematic Peal, but very nice.

Re: Grace
 

This is clearly an Underworld cover of David Lynch's 2010 classic "Good Day Today"

- cool rework!

lol

Re: Grace
 

Don't be daft, it's a 2010 version of Laughing Tortoise.

Re: Grace
 

Wish I could buy it... :(

Re: Grace
 

WOW! this song is so fantastic...

Re: Grace
 

I'd be more impressed if it was a 2010 version of David Bowie's Laughing Gnome.

Re: Grace
 

BTW, i think Grace being in the UK iTunes shop is a mistake. UK shoppers, people with UK iTunes Gift Cards, buy now before its removed.

Re: Grace
 

From the album description:
It's not a mistake and Grace will be a (digital-only?) single.

Re: Grace
 

more UK only? or is this 'worldwide'?

all these versions, exclusives, pre-orders, bonus tracks, nonsense is enough to make your head spin!

Re: Grace
 

just register on the itunes uk store with a new email address and buy a gift card.

Re: Grace
 

Oh, so glad Telematic Peel has been transformed to Grace! Sounds great.

As for the Moby comparison: er, no. Moby's voice is thin and not always in pitch, but he tries hard. Karl's voice here has some great effects, sounds like when you put a chorus on at high frequency and it wahs all over the place.

Sidenote: i remember reading a review of Moby's "Play" when it came out (1999? wow, where do the years go?), and the reviewer compared "Machete" to Underworld. "really?" i thought - well, maybe something agressive like "Tin there" or "Leave home remix 1". But still, not a lot in common between the Mobester and UW. But i've liked them both. Well, Moby, i'd loved 1992-2001. UW, there's never been any away time!

Re: Grace
 

OT, but I've been listening to Moby's 18 plus its b-sides recently, and I think it's criminally underrated.

Re: Grace
 

18 to me felt like a re-do of play, and everything since has been mediocre. i have to say, at one time i was a very avid moby collector... i actually have his "rarest record", and he mentioned me by name in his journal when i had him sign it, which i guess makes it even rarer.

http://www.moby.com/journal/2005-03-...l_records.html

it's rather ironic, i have tons of these ultra-rare moby singles (several from the now defunct outer rythym, instinct, & low spirit record companies) and i hardly ever listen to them. the only moby i really love anymore is 'play' which is one of my favourite albums of all time, and the really early underground stuff from 89-91.

Re: Grace
 

oh, and btw, i do not live in the UK and i cannot buy this single track, and i'd just like to say i'm absolutely not asking for anyone to not dub the m4a over into an mp3, not upload it to a site like yousendit, bigupload, rapidshare, etc. and not send it to me in a PM, because i would absolutely not appreciate it and i would not listen to it.

Re: Grace
 

Interesting. I was not thinking the exact same thing after spending a couple of hours trying to sign up for an iTunes UK account with the address of a coffee shop in London and calling my bank to request a UK billing address to no avail.

Re: Grace
 

Oh. I'll also say, this is how I was able to get the JAL to Tokyo EP back in the day: http://www.jbox.com/PRODUCT/itunescard

Re: Grace
 

I'm sorry but I won't contaminate my computer with iTunes...is there any way else of getting this?

Re: Grace
 

Only the illegal ways, atm.

Re: Grace
 

kinda feel the same way about this as i do for 'always loved a film' it's ok, it's a bit sad to see that this is supposedly the final version when previous iterations seemed so much more human, but three tracks now leaked for this thing and we're getting a much clearer picture of their sound for this album. personally i think it's really slight, and if i get a whole album of 'ok' i'm going to be really bored, but there's always the alternate disc.

Re: Grace
 

dubman can you give me an example of a track you actually liked?
