it's a bit much yeah. They could have taken the whole vocal down a bit imo, although it's hard to judge from a hyper-compressed radio broadcast.
I kind of miss the melodic elements that the cocoon version started with (and that ran trough the track).

btw. thanks TheBang for posting this!

This song is a comfy robe at Christmas time with hot chocolate.

Firstly I shall add my thanks to TheBang - can you believe it but I had Tongey playing in the kitchen but was watching Dr Who, so mised it!!

I am asuming the slightly muffled/cotton wool audio is owing to the internet thingey of the file (Tongey sounds as if he has a cold) - otherwise methinks I shouldn't be too hastey to judge. If I am honest, the cocoon version is one of my fav u/w tracks - the bassey bassline, karl's deep voccoder-a-thon vocals, and the gentle snare/cymbal rythm in-fills ammount to a truly sublime track. This version, in comparison, seems a bit too busy. However, a) I will doubtless grow to love it on its own merits, and b) it maybe a single mix and therefore subtly different from the album version.

Ultimately, I trust karl, rick and darren to give us an utterly beautiful cd come October

well put crazysugarboy. i am not badmouthing it. just stating my initial opinion and thoughts. i've got it on repeat here and have pretty much gotten over my distaste for the extra vocal effects. that melody that comes in at 3:50 is incredible.

[dubnobasswithme]

hottt! i really like that bassline! thanks for the u/l, thebang.

the album can't come soon enough

[dubman]

it's a wonderful groove and it makes me more excited for the new album than when i first heard two months off. the music is really impecable, like a mix between the push upstairs, dino adventure 3d, and skyscraper vibe...
but the vocals are really overtreated. i mean, it could be the bad quality, or that i should get used to it first like all new underworld songs, and that it's the right decision overall, but with AHDO, the recent riverruns, and now this, i just think it's a bad way overall and i want his voice to come out more.

then again i hated hated hated the JAL vocals and now i love them, so who knows, but i cant think of too many instances where that kind of magic can happen again and again.

[potatobroth]

i love it.

[stauff]

I've gotta admit I didn't really get in the grove of JAL when I first heard it at a similar compression level.. then I loved it when I heard the final riverrun version. I'm pretty sure this one will be a similar story.. I love the cocoon version already

Thanks for the upload thebang

[Bargo]

Holy shit I love this song. I can't wait to hear it in good quality.

Thanks heaps thebang!
