peach tree jam
 

Does anyone else agree with me that this is one of the best tracks u/w have released? It is from the Misterons live broadcast and is now on their myspace page. I cannot stop playing it! Not only is "Peach Tree" one of my fav u/w tracks - it is also from the utterly sublime "I'm a Big Sister.." ep - a piece of music that takes the listener on a journey from a very dark and sinister pine forest with too many memories, along a crystal encrusted river, and finally to the enchanted forest and out into the light - and indeed beyond, to the other place "the back of the world" (does anyone else remember the bbc 1 series of programnes "Tales from Europe" - magical, surreal, dark, and scary fairy tales?) This is such a faaaantastic version, with Karl playing guitar like the legendary Steve Hillage while Rick and Darren add improvs and drum fills - wonderful!!:)

I wholeheartedly agree. This is a great version, I love the acid bassline that really stands out here in comparison to the studio mixes.
A strange thing I noticed is that when I listen to this track I have to think "pink". Just like Jumbo is "yellow". I also love the name: "Peach Tree", it sounds very nice. I wonder if there is a story connected to this title.

Peach Tree is definitely one of my favourite uw tracks of recent times.

Re: peach tree jam
 

What a fantastically eloquent description. :) And I agree entirely. It really is a masterpiece of composition.

As for Tales from Europe - was that the series in the 70s with stories from eastern Europe in their original language with an english narrator/interpreter? I have vague memories of that as a child, mostly involving elves, princesses, and lots of icicles and snow-scapes, for some reason.

Re: peach tree jam
 

Some great live things going on on their myspace as well.

Re: peach tree jam
 

Thanks Janie:) And yes, that was Tales from Europe, the most well known being "The Singing Ringing Tree". There was also a beautiful version of the Snow Queen.

The version of Peach Tree on the Crocodile single is 12mins 35secs is it longer on Boy,Boy,Boy single? Also the Misterons Live Broadcast version with that lush Guitar so reminds me of Pink Floyd. :cool:

Re: peach tree jam
 

On "Boy, Boy, Boy" it is also 12:35. However, the mix is different, with parts coming in and going at different times, and different emphases.

Re: peach tree jam
 

best version is definitely peach tree jam.

guitar sound

Re: peach tree jam
 

guitar sound reminds me of durutti column though. great stuff.

Re: peach tree jam
 

I cannot believe I didn't catch the differences between the version from the Crocodile single and Boy, Boy, Boy... I had just assumed they were the same since the track time was the same. I can't remember where I picked up the Crocodile single from, maybe eBay or Amazon, but I was never able to find a physical copy of the Boy, Boy, Boy EP for a decent price so I opted for the iTunes release. Peach Tree is definitely one of my favourite compositions from UW. I must find this Peach Tree in lossless! Oh, how I love to hunt for music!

Re: peach tree jam
 

You can still buy the BBB single from CDjapan for a good price. I have just bought it. Anyway, I also realized the differences after 10 years of release.
