I wonder if it's an album reject, or something they've written after they finished the album.
Sounds like a damn cool new tune. Kinda floaty but bouncy :) Me likes. Hope to be hearing more of this in coming shows.

Re: Bamboo
 

on second thought, i can't really tell due to the sound quality on that clip. it does sound like it could be a Darren Price cut though. Both Circus Faker and Can You Feel This Bass are better/more developed than Bamboo.

at least UW play works in progress live still. not a lot of electronic bands will work out new stuff live.

great synth that comes in after a couple minutes.

Re: Bamboo
 

apples and oranges. Do you really think this sounds like a Price track? I don't know man, all the Price tracks they've been playing have been pretty much looped techno affairs, nothing quite so melodic as this. It sounds very much in line with the soundtrack/movie feel of, say, Beautiful Burnout (including the strings) so I think it's actually an uw track.

Re: Bamboo
 

the lenne penne lyrics throw me off

Re: Bamboo
 

who got the title of "Bamboo"?

Re: Bamboo
 

this sounds distinctly like something Rick's been playing around with (and not Pricey) -- I love the synths and the hypnotic beats revealed toward the end of the song before it turns into 5ft5.

it pains me to think of all the little snippets floating around lemonworld that may never see the light of day -- there's a certain charm to Bamboo, even if it doesn't quite feel like a finished track -- I can only hope we get more B-sides with singles and, for the love of God, another glorious EP.

oh, and new riverrun compilations would be nice :)

BTW, Bamboo is not one of the titles on that long list of unreleased songs on the Warner Chappell site, so my feeling is that this might be a more recent composition.

Re: Bamboo
 

the fact that it was actually written on the setlist points to it being an UW production. i don't believe Can You Feel This Bass was written on either setlist from the nights it was played on the US tour.

Re: Bamboo
 

yea... I kinda doubt it's from Pricey either

I mean - parts of it sound pretty familiar... like wasn't there an improv around AHDO (like... maybe on one of the Creamfields recordings) that was like that?

speaking of "Can You Feel This Bass" - did anyone else catch the sample f/ Rez in it? (and I think there might be a bit from Dark & Long)

Re: Bamboo
 

Yeah, I agree it sounds distinctly UW. A bit repititious, yes, but it's a work in progress. I can see it being a fun piece once it's all ironed out. 5 Ft. 5 is a fun one too. After 4 minutes it starts to sound a little like a marching band for a while, rim-knocks and all. I've always thought that done properly a beat like that could be pretty cool. Grear to hear new/unreleased tracks played live back-to-back like that too. :)

Re: Bamboo
 

the synth kinda reminds me of Faithless sometimes :o Sorry for that.

But yeah, it has a really nice sounds. I like the repetition of the synth

Re: Bamboo
 

I'm not sure if that's necessarily indicative of anything. 5 Foot 5 wasn't on the setlist either.

Someone mentioned it before. It's not actually a sample from Rez. The Rez sound sweeps as it moves up the octaves. This one just jumps the octave. Darren also used that same sample in Shake That Higher. You can hear it on his MySpace page.

Re: Bamboo
 

I like it. Thanks for the link. :]

Re: Bamboo
 

Fucking love it!

Re: Bamboo
 

This is great.

Re: Bamboo
 

Love it.. light & bouncy... yes it's repetitive, but I think that sort of adds to the charm. It just chugs along, on and on... Please put this on an EP or something.

Re: Bamboo
 

makes me happy. good stuff.

Re: Bamboo
 

Bamboo has a distinct 'Twin Peaks' quality to its sound. The synths, the repetition, SOMETHING keeps making me think of 'Twin Peaks'.

EDIT: its the chord changes at around 3:00min in or so. Total Roadhouse/Lynchian. Love it.

Re: Bamboo
 

i find myself playing this youtube more than any other from the new tour. i really really love this track.

Re: Bamboo
 

sorry for the sound quality folks.. i was outside the main pit.. and it IS a mobile phone, after all ;)

but glad you are all digging it.. i quite enjoyed it, too :)

Re: Bamboo

Re: Bamboo
 

Awesome, hope it comes out in some form.

Re: Bamboo

Re: Bamboo
 

It's on the official 'live in Birmingham' double CD.

Re: Bamboo
 

Any chance I could get a download link via private message? :)

Re: Bamboo
 

Nevermind, I see that I can buy the live CD from the UK.

Re: Bamboo
 

Sweet...!! Looks like I need to get the Birmingham CD now...
