Lovely Broken Thing
 

the first track... listening to it now... eww... this is awful. this doesn't sound like the stuff they were playing in concert at all.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

the second track... a lot more ambient and much more promising than the first track. that first track was some awful shite. sounded like someone farting into a pillow. this one reminds me a little bit of the quiet part at the beginning of genesis' 'Duchess'.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

the third track... sounds like more of the first.. or like steve hackett's 'a tower struck down'.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

hey, bryantm3, as much as i'm with you for your love of Genesis (and other projects Genesis related), i'm not hearing the similarities :confused:

but i hope you're liking what you're hearing after JAL to Tokyo!

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

not as much sounds the same, but serves the same purpose in the track... if that makes any sense.
fourth track... sounds like some weird singing under a waterfall.. i can hear the intro to lenny penne now.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

it's like every other UW release:

You'll HATE (!) it on first listen
You'll sort of warm to it a couple of listens after
Two weeks later you'll be singing along to the poetry
A few days after that you'll be turning it up and considering it a good one.

Weirdest thing.....:confused:

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

Very...., er, useful information :confused: ?

I can clearly see why you need a new thread for this. Although on the other hand, that might be a very good thing this it might ensure that your ranting stays isolated...

EDIT:

@The Mongoose

I do not "always hate an Underworld track at first" :) .

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

the last two tracks were pretty good. but i really wish that they would never ever release track 1 and 3. those are the most horrible tracks i have ever heard from underworld.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

It'll grow on you. Trust me.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

it had better. i don't know if i can tolerate a "peggy sussed" hater. ;)

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

me, on the other hand, really loves JAL to tokyo!! i wasn't that excited when it first showed up (woolford mix/PT), but on the lovely broken thing release it so works (at least for me ;) )

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

I totally agree with you.
for lenny penne the first listening was not amazing, but when they played it in live... :eek: it was huge!

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

I dont understand the concept of "hating" an Underworld release upon first listening to it. That seems odd to me.
I get it that some songs may not click at first and eventually kinda grow on you, but hate is a strong word... !!!
I havent heard Lovely Broken Thing yet...but when I do, I'll be sure to take notice of #1 and #3.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

Are you out of your mind? Those are the two best ones on the release...

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

the vocals sound garbled and awful. it sounds like what hell would be like.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

obviously you haven't been privy to the stylish and articulate musings of a band called Anal Cunt.

anyway, i'm with the numbers guy. you're dissing on the two best tracks there.
very confusing.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

He obviously never heard of vocoders :)

I love JAL to Tokyo. I always try to sing along. Even if i don't have the full lyrics on screen to follow :)

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

that was my initial reaction to Jal on This Thread

now I'd say that I love the plucking bass synth lead and that Karl says "Fuck It" and that ending is such a nice buildup......etc.

not an album quality track but a nice intro into the "B-Side Themed EP";)

:p

Starscream: "There's no escape this time, Optimus Prime!"

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

i thought that was what autechre fans did...;)

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

I really dig the first track, it's got a nice groove to it.

And I also really like the very last little singing bit by KH. Mmm, magical...

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

its great, and its good value i think. If you go into HMV to buy any back catalogue CD it sets you back £4.99 for a single. This is 30mins, 7 tracks for the same price with a load of art thrown in for good measure.

No complaints.

Re: Lovely Broken Thing
 

my only complaint is that it makes me hungry for more :D
its gonna be real nice when we have 5 or 6 of these to pick from.
