Re: cow vs pearls girl
both songs have very special places in my heart and mind.
tho id have to lean towards Pearls Girl...UW's 1st voyage towards a somewhat dnb'ish sound...i totally lose it anytime i hear this in a club...my gf just stands back and watches in awe as i dance like a man possessed.

Re: cow vs pearls girl
Pearls Girl for me - it just fires me up. The version on Everything Everything is like a ride on the space shuttle and the version they played @ the 2006 lemonworld broadcast with its sequenced drum/percussion-a-thon at the beginning just blew me across the room (fortunately, my headphone connection to my pc is quite long! ).

Cowgirl!

Such a climax for the dubno LP, building on the momentum of dirty Epic.
I always get chills about halfway through, when there's a dropped beat during "this electric stream", then the synth and drums kick in full on:
"and my tears
interleave with the wires and energy
and my machine
this is my beautiful dream"

While i'll agree that PG was a neat foray into D-n-B and was arguably a bigger hit, Cowgirl still seems fresh to me, whereas the latter seems a bit overplayed.

Yep - I'm a Pearls Girl too

Although Cowgirl was the first UW tune I ever heard and still has nice memories for me, Pearls Girl is and prolly always will be my favourite.

My favourite memory of it is Cocoon last year. Amazing.

Re: cow vs pearls girl
cowgirl - the long version without the dodgy 'macerena' intro.

Wait a second. Are you "Brymen"? As in The 10th Warrior?

I'm racking my brains trying to think of the macarena intro of which you speak...

Just pop in your dubno and skip to Cowgirl. (Compare with "Cowgirl (Album Version)" on Dirty Epic/Cowgirl).
