Loads of Birds

[nosajmunson]

[COLOR=indigo]I love this song. It haunts me. It has a very dark feel to it. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=indigo]On the movie Sunshine, a version of it repeats throughout the film. I wish the version from the movie would be released some day, but that's another thread.[/COLOR]

With the Japanese iTunes stuff, I've had a similar problem. I also got locked out of songs I purchased. What I did was this:

In iTunes go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Importing.
From there I changed the "Import Using" to MP3 encoder and the "Setting" to "Higher Quality (192kbps)". You can set up the 4 checkboxes however.

I then went to my "Music" list and found the tracks that were locked. I right clicked on them and selected convert selection to MP3. Each one took about a minute to convert. When it was done, I was then able to play, burn and export the new MP3 to my iPod. I then deleted the original locked file I got from iTunes. It's convuluted, but it's a great way to use iTunes against itself to unlock the tracks you already paid for.

This may or not help, but it did work for me.

i think it's fine that it was an extra track on the japanese,

yes, its better than some of the slower instrumental tracks,
and of course ring road/boy boy boy..etc..

but its an average track for them..

yeah after the excitement died down karl is actually pretty weak on this one and the whole thing sounds a bit cliche. the bitcrushing and "WAOWWAOW" is a nice effect but the strings and the rest pushed the 'cinematic' vibe of the album a bit too hard.

Nice to see bits of LOB were used in the Sunshine OST. There's elements of it playing on the R2 DVD menu.

Some tracks sold by iTunes are iTunes Plus, which lack any DRM controls, so you can transcode those. For those that are "locked", put them into a playlist, and then burn that playlist to an audio CD (click the "Burn Disc" button in the bottom right corner). Once they are on the audio CD, they are standard, unprotected CD Digital Audio, and you can rip them to any format you wish.

For those of you having trouble just playing them in iTunes, what exactly is the error you're getting? You shouldn't have trouble playing them unless you've forgotten your Apple ID and password that you purchased the tracks with. Or if you exceeded 5 computers authorized with your Apple ID. If that's the case, log into your iTunes account, by going to the iTunes Store, and pressing "Log In" or your Apple ID in the upper-right corner of the Store. On Your Account screen, it will show how many computers are authorized. If you've reached the limit (5), a button will be available to "Deauthorize All" so you can start over.

Ive tried this. Didn't work, but in all honesty that was like 3 iTunes ago. I'll try both of the tips you've all offered. Thanks.

Just wondering, was Loads of Birds on ITUNES then not...I have the song and I am trying to figure out HOW I got it......

nice song. recgonize pieces from Sunshine (fantastic movie) and I just got parc and that is great.

at first i was a little miffed but im pretty glad it's not on the album as a regular release. it's a bit cheesy.

anyway there were a few tracks posted to underworldlive.com as fun bonuses for fans that would check that never were 'officially released'. much of it was ambient or experimental. a couple of them were decently fleshed out, some were just having a bit of fun...

FONESTRAP 1
FONESTRAP 2
FONESTRAP 3
FONESTRAP 4
FONESTRAP 5
AUTOTRADER 2
AUTOTRADER 3
AUTOTRADER 4/FONESTRAP 6
BBOYBGIRL
SHARK ARP
CALONLAN
SIMPLE PEAL 1
CAN YOU FEEL THIS BASS (actually a darren price track, but made available all the same)

but if you''re looking to itunes, then you might want to check out "art of peace: songs for tibet" compilation. it has an alternate version of "to heal" with spoken bits called "to heal and restore broken bodies"

oh and just in case you missed underworld's web-only riverrun releases, they're available at the underworldlive.com shop along with a few other goodies.
