Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

I just wanted to say that I hope to god some version of this makes the cut for the new album, or at least some sort of release. I don't think I've gone more than a couple of days without listening to this track since they played it on one of the webcasts. Brilliant tune.

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

100% agreed!

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

yup. it is the greeetest...

i think we need many more of these threads so rick and karl are sure to see them :D :D :D

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

Yeah, that track is good enough to use as the centerpiece of an album, without a doubt. They first web-jammed out an instrumental version and it was so good that I spent a couple of hours cleaning up the quality for my own enjoyment, so to hear the updated version last May with vox was really exciting. I don't care whether they use vox or not, it just has to be on an album. :)

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

no i disagree - don't put this on the album, if its gonna see the light of day on a format - stick it on an ep -

i want the album to be full of fresh unheard of jems...

not 2 year old jams...

just my opin though....

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

honestly - I like the song a lot... but I actually kind of prefer the original, slower version that they played at Electraglide just before they did that John Peel live session

and going on what big screen said... While I would really really want this in 'proper' formatt (or at least high bitrate mp3), I don't think I would be quite as happy if it was put on the next album...

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

UW, please put what you want & what you feel on your next album ;)

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

Theres so much stuff UW could put out on an album its impossible to guess what'll be on. Radiohead are still playing with the track Nude that they started in the OK Computer days, so if Silver Boots did come on, it wouldn't surprise me!

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

Honestly, a big part of what I was saying was that I'd like to hear "Some version" of the tune. To me, the idea that the song would be released unchanged from any of the versions we've heard (after the passage of a significant amount of time) seems a bit absurd. I was just saying I thought they were on a roll with it, and I hope they've kept developing it.

And as far as wanting to hear ONLY new things that we've never heard before, I just don't get it. Was "Mo Move" made any less enjoyable as a track by the fact that we heard a version of the opening arpeggio in the Music Bank video from '01? Or because a kernel of the lyrics were a part of the Spin magazine diaries?
Part of what has made Underworld such a pleasure to watch and listen to over the years has been their willingness to share a bit of the Process with their fans (the general public really. it's not like you have to be a paying fan to see the websites). Maybe it's just because I work in sound design, but I tend to doubt it.

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

I bloddy love that song. I just want it in some way.

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

ALAF will be great as released track for sure.

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

ahhh - I see your point... I was kind of thinking of the track being released exactly as we're hearing it now...

I'll still say that the slower, original version was better

but I would def be miffed if "Biro the leggy" was anything more than either a bside or download-only track (well - it'd be ok if it were like a 'bonus' track on the album) ...just b/c "Biro" is the original version of "Mo Move"

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

the thing about underworld on this round is that they wanted to get away from the complacency of AHDO. to me it means doing what they've been doing on the riverrun tracks, only more suited for an album instead of web-only experimentation.
you cant really go back to those days without looking like you're recycling and failing to break from that complacency, making the brand-new, 50% more daring underworld look like it's not convinced of it's new direction.

i think i just have high hopes for their next album. after beaucoup fish everyone tacitly agreed that they had settled and could now function as "influences" for everyone instead of still impacting music in any new or relevant way. i feel that there's been a perspective shift from 2002 based on interviews and i think they just might remedy that and be just as exciting as, say, the new justice record coming out.

which might be incredibly difficult and unfair, but they *can* do it.

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

i want to hear some something really surprising, is all. but if i had to pick, i'd pick something with a combination of odd mellotron(ish) ahs like in 'dark and long', tons of odd beats and time signatures like in 'cherry pie', some really emotional lyrics like 'dirty epic', and a really tight guitar solo (haven't heard that yet from them, just kind of loose jamming).

i don't really like 'always loved a film', really. it kind of gets on my nerves for some reason. i really dig 'you do scribble' and how it builds up dramatically, if only it were even more dramatic and had some good solid lyrics, it could be another masterpiece like cups or kittens. not to say it would be anything like those, but it would be as good or better than those.

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

can anyone tell me all the lyrics for this song?

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

justice ?????? you're havin' a laugh aren't you?:confused:

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

YES!! I LOVE that song!!! ;)

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

that's just what i was thinking.........

Re: Silver Boots (Always loved a film)
 

I had no idea this song was around so long.
