ok - a couple of points

this is an Underworld single - because its labeled so - i.e. Scribble - Underworld (its been produced or remixed by High Contrast, its not stated as UW feat High Contrast or High Contrast feat Karl Hyde, afaik)

there is currently no mention of the fact that High Contrast was involved on the 'front cover' either.

ultimately its based upon YDS which again is an Underworld track

At least its more a proper song - which contains a recognisable chorus and lyrics that can be sung, rather than old style UW lyrics which in the main were poetry / ramblings - not that there is anything wrong with that, i hope the new album has more of this style of lyric than the old style (which i loved, but Karl is a vocalist too!)

i think the synth stabs are pretty standard Rick Smith style, and hence have his influence too... listen to a few versions of the original YDS and see if its not the same style synth sounds - u tellin me that Rick didn't write those??

if this was released without knowing High Contrast was involved no-one would be any the wiser, he's added some remix production to a UW track - its different to what has gone before, but its not that different to the original YDS in the sense its a dnb style track, and as such is not a directional shift too much away from what we already know...

move on ppl... new music is always welcomed

personally i'm not that keen on YDS, i prefer Scribble because of the vocals, its chart / club / festival crowd friendly - Underworld to the masses is ok by me...

dnb beats have never been my cuppa tea, but thats ok, at least its a new tune, and was dropped without too much warning...

and as a cover i like it, typical of the modernist direction the artwork is taking but with some colour which is nice...

waiting for the extended version and more new stuff - all is good
