Crocodile = Can You Feel This Bass? / also Darren Price's role in Oblivion With Bells
 

is the song Crocodile the same song that we've been calling Can You Feel This Bass? or is it All These Things?

how many songs will Price have writing credits?

What about Yardbeat and Shake That Higher, both credited to Price on his myspace page? Are those UW songs or Darren Price songs?

:D

thanks lloyd!

cut n paste:

---------------------

"For its first album in five years, pioneering electronica duo Underworld solicited advice from the likes of Brian Eno, U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and longtime collaborator Darren Price to help sort through nearly 200 pieces of new music.

"These conversations inspired us," group member Karl Hyde tells Billboard.com of the October release "Oblivion With Bells," adding that a comment from Price helped turn live favorite "Crocodile" into the top-notch studio version the duo has previously been unable to nail. The cut is now a contender for the album's first single.

Hyde is particularly excited by tracks like the nearly nine-minute closer "Best Mamgu Ever," where "my voice pops out of it in the middle but then vanishes into lush electronics and conversations that are gated," as well as "Glam Bucket," which was intended for use as part of Underworld's score for the Danny Boyle film "Sunshine" but was reclaimed for "Oblivion With Bells."

Elsewhere, the angular "Ring Road" was inspired by a walk Hyde took around his hometown of Romford, England, "with a bitter eye around the time of the World Cup," while "Good Morning Cockerel" is "a very, very simple piece with just my voice and a number of layered pianos. It says something and it leaves, straightaway."

"This isn't the album we were looking at four weeks ago," he says of the set, a label for which has yet to be announced. "A couple of tracks made it in the last couple of days that were like, 'Wow! Wasn't expecting that!'"

Underworld will play new material from "Oblivion With Bells" during its 2007 tour, which played Lisbon tonight (July 5). As the trek progresses, the group will be refurbishing its Web site and offering a host of exclusives to its online fanbase.

The Web site will be absolutely central to the album," Hyde reports. "We will be selling concert recordings and films and continuing to give them away throughout the year. We'll also continue to do the Web radio broadcasts. We're hoping to do a Web TV broadcast from America with Quicktime, if it's at all possible."

Here is the track list for "Oblivion With Bells"

"Crocodile"
"Beautiful Burnout"
"Holding the Moth"
"To Heal"
"Ring Road"
"Glam Bucket"
"Boy, Boy, Boy"
"Cuddle Bunny vs. The Celtic Villages"
"Faxed Invitation"
"Good Morning Cockerel"
"Best Mamgu Ever"

i'm wondering if it's All These Things or Can You Feel This Bass. Now i'm sort of thinking it's going to be All These Things that leads off the album. as you can see, i don't have a clue. i'd like some confirmation from some UW peeps about this.

Re: Crocodile = Can You Feel This Bass? / also Darren Price's role in Oblivion With Bells
 

We're pretty certain Crocodile is "All These Things". A preliminary track listing had track 1 listed as "These Things".

yeah, that makes sense. i can't find the link to the japanese review translation now, but i don't recall a song that made me think it was Can You Feel This Bass. i'm more interested in Darren Price's role in the album. i guess he's getting writing credits on Crocodile/These Things but what's the status of his other contributions?

i need a new hobby i think.

Re: Crocodile = Can You Feel This Bass? / also Darren Price's role in Oblivion With Bells
 

To answer your other questions, these songs are probably Darren Price creations:

Yard Beat
Shake That Higher
Aquafunk
Can You Feel This Bass?
Circus Faker
This Race
Borialiss
Morrocan Meatballs
D's Ablt

I don't think we'll see them on any Underworld albums. My hunch is that he will also not be listed as a member of Underworld on the album. He is, however, a fixture of Underworld Live, and I think his songs will continue to be played at shows. Shake That Higher, especially, seems to have become a live staple.

where's darc? :(

Karl's getting me pumped for the album.

Looking forward to the concert recordings and videos, too :)

I think it's important to consider that (to my knowledge, at least) "Darc" has only been performed by Underworld once or twice, ever. Originally, this track was labeled "Dark & Long" on the UW website, and was only hastily relabeled when downloads revealed that it was, in fact, not "Dark & Long."

My bet is that "Darc" has been retitled "Glam Bucket" or perhaps "Boy, Boy, Boy."
