[BrotherLovesDub]

the SQ is much better, but now i can see what everyone is talking about this being a 'chilled' song rather than an upbeat one. for some reason it sounded more upbeat on the radio. *shrug*.

yeah that BBC compression tends to make everything sound really in your face so it's always kind of a shock to adjust to the real thing. I had the exact same thing when, after first hearing TMO on Tong's show, hearing it for the first time on the album. It sounded so different.

Yeah! You gotta keep the Tong version around for the first listen aspect. This fuller version is sounding lovely on headphones.

wow. i cant believe how much more dancey the Tong compressed one sounds compared to the Pitchfork one. Hardly sounds like the same energy to me.

Fab - thanks for this.

i take the post back. now that ive listened to the pitchfork stream on a proper setup, its still pretty dancey. stupid ipod earbuds.

Stereogum picked up the Crocodile stream today, finishing their mini-review with "Can you say the wedding song of 2007?"

I think they meant that in a good kind of way!

LOL

I'm quite disappointed. It's boring, dull and doesn't even sound like Underworld... Pity.

I hope whole album will be better.

[King of Snake]

if this "doesn't sound like Underworld" then I don't know what does. I mean, it's pretty much Dark & Long part 2 in terms of rhythm and feel if you ask me.
