Previous first releases (from memory)
AHDO - TMO - biggest track on album
BF - KoS - biggest track on album
STITI - Pearl's Girl - biggest track on album
They didn't trail AHDO with Luetin, BF with Skym or STITI with Shudder, did they...

i really think Underworld are doing something other than releasing this as a single (or album trailing track)...its a project (as Tong said), rather than the next release, i feel...you don't (usually) release 25 minute tracks to the public...unless its on an ep...(or you are The Orb
)
maybe this is what was finished this week, and they decided to send it to Tongy..."new music by Underworld" NOT the "new single from Underworld" - thats the difference here
In the old days, DJ's used to get sent tracks by record companies to test the water, if a track didn't do well they went back and re did it....or revised their plans...maybe UW are doing this...seeing what the reaction is like...
i'm sure they are reading these forums for feedback....
my other thoughts on this:
UW have sent this track out to dj's like Paul Woolford & (maybe) Pete Heller to remix to play around with - the Paul Woolford version which most people proclamied was the original, which i thought was a remix...is proably the better version, and with the exception of the lyrics is totally different to the version Tongy played....
i still think we should all just calm down and wait until what KH says...no-one knows what this track is, and what is propsed for it, Karl has already said that UW are going different places with the next couple of projects, we know that they are 'probably' going to release an Album (and trail it with a single or two), but there is also the film soundtrack, which is probably more pressing at the moment, and K&R work on many things at once...so until we get some definite details we should all hold back on the speculations....i know its fun but lets just wait and see...
