Underworld - The Crocodile Thread
 

news from the ether...

The Radio Edit of this single is 3'50"
The LP Version of this single is 8'57"

a two track promo is 'out' there...

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

8.57! That's nice indeed, cause I felt that the one Tong played (that's probably the promo version then) could have stretched out certain parts a little bit longer.
What about a 12" version?

where's this info coming from?

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

off the CD-R promo...

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

I think posts pertaining to privilaged information/access should be deleted.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

ah ok, so those are the tracks on the promo, and there isn't a "promo version" as such? Than what was Tong playing, cause that was a little over 6 minutes...?

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

i must say that i don't have the promo - its just that i know what's on it...

just wanted to share the details :)

i assume that the album version is the one that Tongy played because it sounds like it fades into the next track... it is possible that he may have edited down for the show, which is what Tongy has done before...

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

single out October 1st

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

pitchfork promo is also 6:43. either that time for the lp version was wrong (my guess) or the lp version is going to have 2 additional minutes! heavenly. i could do with a 12min epic old school mix. this does have a distinct dubno vibe.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

i'll tell you when i get a copy ;)

maybe there is 'another' promo out there

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

I Agree ont eh dubno feel...:)

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

well, the pitchfork rip is cut short on the end. i'm assuming that is the LP version and we just weren't fortunate enough to get the full outro.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

Underworld's myspace page also has Crocodile streaming on their player. Same length as the Pitchfork stream.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

mmm interesting, the details on the promo may be incorrect, i'll tell you tomorrow... how reliable my info was ;)

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

Well, it appears the Myspace stream was sourced from the Pitchfork rip that viddy did, so of course it's the same length. :)

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

euh, people keep forgetting that it's Yan updating the myspace website.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

I had a chance to buy the radio promo and lp promo in a shop, but not for the amount they wanted.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

curious -- how much were they asking?

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

yea...

and has anyone worked out lyrics?
(are they much different than before)

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

More then its bloody worth. Double figures. It'll be worth pennies after the release, just the initial buzz.

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

Played on Colin Murray on BBC1 and George Lamb on BBC6.

Did Two Months Off get a lot of airplay?

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

It's tomorrow already. So how reliable is your info, you lucky bastard?:D

Re: The Crocodile Thread
 

well if you want to know the album version is actually 8:57 long

although those who have listened to the pitchfork rip of 6 minutes 43 ish will note that it fades into BB towards the end.

well the LP version i have does that, then runs for a further two minutes of really quite ambient noodly twidly stuff that does nothing more than loop and kinda fade for two minutes... there's no more vocals and beats, you're not actaully missing anything (its kinda like an installation piece) its nice but does not add to the track as heard already and hence is perhaps why the rips are 6:43 long

the radio edit is pretty sweet though - as it condenses the best bits of the track into just under 4 minutes... i'm kinda getting an 80's vibe from the melody when i hear this... which i personally like

any more info will follow....

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Some DJ i saw last night dropped Crocodile last night. Which was nice;)

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Yeah cool to see DJs playing it..Sasha played it on the Essential mix on Radio1 from Cream Amnesia in Ibiza last weekend as his last track and you can hear the people screaming to it...goosebumps. :o

Two Months Off (King Unique Sunspots Vocal Mix)
Two Months Off (John Ciafone Vocal Remix)
Two Months Off (Desyn Masiello and Leon Roberts remix)
Two Months Off (Osamu M feat.Yuuki mix)

these are the remixes I know and heard in mixes but I think there are even more bootlegs available..the Osamu M remix never surpassed the CDR status as far as I know. For at least one year that track was played up and down in different remixes from DJ I listen to.

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

well the last two mixes listed above were made by the DJ's who mixed them for their own personal use and generally played in their own mixes, afaik, they may have sent them out to a couple of their dj friends, but they were certainly not played as promotional tools for the single /album

TMO got lots of radio edit airplay, i.e the single version was played a bit on radio one's dancey shows like Tong and Dave Pearce and the Judge if i recall lately....

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

looks like MTV have been playing the Crocodile video

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SGe5f5CbXcU

but i assume this just an old video, because from what we understand Simon Taylor has been in filming the band for the track...

so this is just a load of cobbled togther Tomato graphics - nice

i hope we do see the finished 'band' video....

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Looks a lot like this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A0oMwKnU3OM
Cos it's the Rez video ;)


Remember Simon Taylor is shooting a video for crocodile? http://www.phofa.net/blog/simon/index.htm

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Pete Tong has listed the Crocodile single as Junior Boys Own on his Radio 1 tracklisting, i'm almost certain that this is wrong...

afaik, JBO are not releasing this single, perhaps Tongy needs to be told, unless someone at JBo sent him his copy direct - and just assumed its still a JBO release... ;)

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Man, Underworld never cease to amaze me. They drop a track off the new album - and not only is it nothing like anything they've released in the past five years, but it's some of the best material we've heard out of them since dubnobass.

Also, is there some kind of update email thing I can add myself to, to get notified of things like new gigs or album updates?

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

best way is to keep checking this forum and underworldlive.com for info

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

or check Teletext...

or some random japanese websites ;)

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

has this thread title been spelled wrong all along? i could have sworn it was spelled correctly until just now. :)

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Holy crap, man, I didn't even notice that! Funny how our brains work.

By the way, I've just figured out what Crocodile reminds me of: Daniel Johns' vocal work in The Dissociatives. If you haven't heard of them they're an awesome dance-ish sort-of-pop-but-not-really duo from Australia; Aussie dance god Paul Mac + Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns. They only had one album a while back (another is said to be on the way) but it's definitely worth checking out. Fave tracks are We're Much Preferred Customers (that's the Crocodile vocal corellation), Thinking in Reverse and Forever and a Day.

PS apparently their myspace is still online despite the fact that they haven't been active since 2004 www.myspace.com/thedissociatives

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

it was spelt right when i set it up then some n00b changed it in a drunken haze, i assume, then it was changed back to the correct spelling, now it appears someone has been on the grog again and changed it, i thought admin and / or mods were supposed to be responsible people... :p

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

Why do I get the feeling that you were that "someone", BSS?

Re: Underworld - The Crododile Thread
 

why would i jeopardise my own thread....

someone else is having 'fun' and sadly as a 'responsible' member of Dirty i've no authority on these forums, they tend to give that to people who abuse their powers ;)

Re: Underworld - The Crocodile Thread
 

an auction for a crocodile promo with the Peter Heller mix.

Re: Underworld - The Crocodile Thread

Re: Underworld - The Crocodile Thread
 

What the fuck does this song have to do with Crocodiles
