Re: keeping track on the new tracks....
[QUOTE=and this is the thread for keeping track on the tracks and us anally retentive types want the right track names on our catalogues...[/QUOTE]

I do see your point!

I just think that there's been so much confusion around the name of this particular track recently (perhaps it has been sorted out as of late) that there may be no official name for it yet. This has certainly been the case with many recent Underworld tracks. I believe that if R&K wanted us to know the official name of this track we would be absolutely clear about it by now. And, although Karl is a wordsmith, and a great one at that, he often uses his talent to tranform the sound/meaning of words as well (well yeah, I guess that's what a great wordsmith does). But, from what I've seen over the years, I fell that it is often the case that Karl is more enamored with the way words sound rather than the meaning of what he is actually saying. He has even said this himself.

"I scream" / "ice cream"

I suppose this argument can also be stretched to include playing with sounds that exist within sometimes meaningless words themeselves.

"lenny penne" / "kenny penne"

I don't take half of what I hear come from the Underworld rumorworld (including Underworld themeselves) literally. The only things that I am certain of are what I hear/see from them on stage or hear/see on official releases of albums/singles (and as we've seen with Lovely Broken Thing, even the latter can sometimes lead to uncertainty).

"phase red" <----- Hmm, I like that!
