yes.
i'd not expect this song to be the banging track/single of the album. especially since its only 5min of a 25min track. so there is no chance this is a single, right?
why can't it just be a clip of a song that UW felt they wanted to put out as a teaser? back in the STITI days, they only wrote 8 songs and choosing Pearls Girl was the obvious choice (being that Juanita and Banstyle were 10min+ each.) with this album, they have written over 100 songs and from what i gather plan to release a great number of them using their new distribution method. so maybe this is a song for an EP, maybe this is THE track of the album, maybe this is a track to be release for free on Underworld live, who knows. but to pan this snippet and treat it as a whole track, an entire single/album-representative track is nonsense. its 1/5 a song.
i happen to like this quite a bit. upon first listen (in the car) i didnt like the vocals one bit. thought they were very dull and unimpressive. then after i had a proper headphone listen (my car speakers suck) i realzed just how well they meshed with both the mood, and the rhythm of the song. there are a few moments in there where the lyrics match SO well that i get giddy. also, love the woodblocky percussion throughout. there is much more to this simple song than first meets the ears.
