Re: crocodire....
well said. Without records, there would be nothing to play at liveshows either

'jog on' - LOL

not heard that for a while...


that made me chuckle the most on return from my holiday...

ho hum,

i didn't like Croc that much on first listen, but its not dire in any way, perhaps people expect things from Underworld and well when the deliver something utterly different some people don't like it... its almost like a proper 'song' as opposed to a track with vocals on

its ok to have the opinions i suppose, but i kinda agree that as a first post to a forum its a bit harsh to come in and criticize the band, by slating their single - even if you have been a fan for years

there is also a thread for this single and any valued comments on it could (and should) really have been posted there, whether negative or not...

Re: crocodire....
I'm in love (and happily maried) with the live version at the Frankfurt gig (All These Things). I still have to get used to the studio version because it has less energy and different lyrics. The AMAZING tones Karl sings near the end though, make me melt.

Re: crocodire....
I still like the Cocoom version becuase it's longer and has those different pads and has different lyrics...

Re: crocodire....
Both versions (All These Things and Crocodile) have their strengths and weaknesses. But all things withstanding, I think the boys made the right choice with their final version. As much as I like the ambient feel of All These Things, I don't think the little 3/4 timed ambient pad would've sustained the album version. Sounds good live, but... album is different. And also, I've finally come to terms with the amount of reverb put on Karl's voice, because his voice fills in for that pad. It becomes the spine of the melody.
