Loads of Birds

[TheBang]

And 1283 kbits less fidelity.

I think that it's better than 'Holding the Moth' and far much better than awful 'Boy, Boy, Boy'... It should be on the album worldwide.

wrong... holding the moth = amazing music

I've listened to it a few times now and I reckon it fits on the album just fine, but maybe not as the final track. I'd tend to agree with BrotherLovesDub here, make it track 11

Just heard it and WOW ITS GREAT!!!

Hands down one of the absolute best songs on the album and it's a fucking shame it's not on most copies of the cd. There's plenty of room for it on the cd so why can't the Japanese just get their special little bonus dvd and some remixes or whatever....are they really that nuts over bonus tracks, and is it the band or the label that bends over backwards to cater to this kind of stuff?!?

Underworld - guess you figure most fans will track the rare stuff down or import the Jap copy and it's no big deal....but I say, most Japanese won't even understand the words on Loads of Bird so why not give them something more experimental like Glam Bucket instead.

Still a great cd without it, but my overall "B+ rating" would have been changed to an A with this track tacked on I think.

Yeah, I was thinking that big time too!

[cacophony]

i got my hands on this track back when this thread was first posted but i didn't really listen to it much or have anything to say about it. i had too many other tracks to catch up on and obsess over, so this one got back-burnered.

in hindsight, i wish i hadn't delayed. i pulled together a playlist i like to call "music for trains" (thank you eno) and this one made the cut. suddenly i find myself listening to it 6 or 7 times a day. every time i fire up the ol' ipod it's the first thing i select. it must have been a slow burn because it's fast become one of my absolute favorite songs. it's a very polydistortion/massive attack vibe.

I think it fits nicely with the album. I have it last after Best Ever but that's probably not the best place for it.

As for ordering from Japan... what a pain in the ass that can be. Back when JAL came out, I did the whole buy-a-japanese-itunes-gift-card thing. Dis.as.ter. I managed to get the tracks onto my machine and listen to them. But suddenly one day, they were locked and I was told by my computer that I no longer have the rights to play this music and it shall remain locked. Can't burn it, copy it to the iPod, nor convert it to aiff etc.
