Re: TONIGHT...
All i am worried about is the typical turn to the "safe sound" that often accompanies a long career in a band.

This song sounds safe.. it is produced to a point where evrythngis smooth and easy to digest.. there are no rough edges... it doesnt sound like people created this.

The actual drum samples in YDS sound real... there is depth in them whereas there is no depth in Scribble... furthermore the drum in YDS is varying hugely throughout, its like a jam... the snare comes in at different points constantly keeping you interested. Scribble has a DnB sound that is as if they made 8 bars and copy-pasted the rest for the whole song. It is a completely different drum...

The best part of YDS (IMO) was the play between the pad synth with the bass sounds and the undulating synth which was the hook and gave it pase...

Here that element is hidden behind that trustrating bass wash that drowns out any character and flattens the song out something awful... Then that extra stabbing synth is something out of a Sclub7 remix...

Listening to High Contrast himself... this is just four of nearly every song i checked of his... he certainly has a sound doesnt he.... Sound familiar?





Now after listening to these of most other of his songs i invite anyone to compare the quality of the drum track in High Contrasts tunes to that of any live version of YDS....

Scribble is as much a High Contrast track ... its a remix... its whatever you call it.

But its not really Underworld is it?

And that is the danger of Collaboration.


I can wait to hear the first new underworld release from the new album I know it is going to be great! - but id like to thank High Contrast for producing a nice remix.. good boy - now sit down.
