"Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

i think i really love paul's remix a LOT more than the original...

thoughts?

i've been wanting to put on JAL much more.

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

Paul Woolford accapella 4, by a hair...mostly for the clearer vocal and the very nice bassline.

But JAL to Tokyo does have a very nice entrance with drums, and then Karl's voice, which doesn't come through in the Woolford mix (especially since the front end is mixed into the end of "Golden Path" by the Chems)

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

is Bang the Poll from the Woolford radio1 mix Underworld or Woolford? (the 5min+ track)

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

It's credited to Mr & Mrs Christmas in the tracklisting.

thought so. that has a few qualities that i would have a hard time attributing to other artists. i thought it was UW all the way (or M&M Xmas)

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

the poll is so much more banging... JAL is a nice intro for BLT...em, excuse me
LBT, but it really isn't something that really gets it going... though it being
a nice prince rip-off it does wonders and wunder.:D

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

but not altogether involved.
hard UW tracks are a tricky business that mostly goes well but sometimes feel like they end up sounding hard just because it feels like it has to (*cough* depeche mode *ahem, 'scuse me*).
i think that was one of them, TMO and DA3D don't shy so far from that either.
billy goat would too if it didnt sound so friggin amazing.

i LOVE how naturally dancable JAL is.

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

When I first heard JAL to Tokyo on Tongy after hearing Bang the Poll I was a little underwhelmed. But the more I listen to it (especially now I have the proper version) the more I love it. And it IS so very naturally danceable.

Also I noticed that Paul Woolford badly mixed the choon at one stage, so the natural rhythm suddenly jumps back a beat, which is particularly noticable now when I listen to the original.

Re: "Bang the Pole(Poll)" vs. Jal to Tokyo
 

well here i am confused again. the 5+min track from the woolford show is credited as Mr. & Mrs. Christmas, is it not?

so when you all refer to "Bang the Poll" arent you referring to this M&MXmas track? the woolford one, to my understanding, is the 2 or 3 minute one that just keeps repeating, "watching the sunrise, watching the sunrise, watching the sunrise..."

is this a correct statement?
