Paul Van Dyk is a musical genius. How amazing will he make Diamond Jigsaw?

[Dirty Canuck]

100% agree, Stimpee. I actually never liked this track in any shape or form and PVD hasn't helped it at all. The lyrics are boring, and the sound is out of the 80s.
From what I've read, seeing it live is something to see, though.

[Dirty0900]

I really like it. Especially the breakdown towards the end.

PVD will have nothing to do with the lyrics.

UW channels New Order. It's awesome!

[Professor]

everything is awesome. in every way.

Im glad you guys like it. For me it sounds dated, sounds Underworld mk1, and comparing it to old New Order stuff isnt a compliment. Just makes it even more dated. It just sounds like Underworld-by-numbers. Feels bad to say it but its just bland.

The guitar is a dumb idea no matter where it came from, but if underworld wanted to make pop songs, I think this one went well for them. Crap as an "underworld tune", but really I'll take it if it's enjoyable

The demo version of Diamond Jigsaw on the Barking bonus disc is, as Karl said, NOTHING like Underworld. No synths, just guitar, rock drum sounds and Karl's singing. It's a fun, upbeat little ditty but definitely not Underworld.

I like PVD's remix a lot but I'm afraid the awesome synthpop version from the Las Vegas show will remain the best version of this divisive Underworld track.

i was quite surprised that the 80s synth version wasn't the one chosen for CD2.

I think Diamond Jigsaw might be the worst track on the album. I've listend to a lot of Paul Van Dyk's work and think this can't be one of his best examples. Even on the BBC radio show with Karl Hyde, the host mentioned something about how Diamong Jigsaw is not like most work Van Dyk makes... I guess the host didn't care for the track either because he didn't play it at all during the show.

just my two pence...
