i'd love to hear this early version, particularly after reading your comparison between the two.

It still might sound like a lot work in progress, but for me BB was a missed opportunity to build on that and refine it.
This early version makes me think about trains, sunsets on the beach, used cars, and of course rayray

.
BB feels sort of empty, even though it is full with effects... I can't really explain it.

thanks for the link. maybe it's the old "you prefer the one you heard first" syndrome, but i really prefer the direction they went with the OWB version. and the live performance on wednesday gave me goosebumps.

I really didn't get into this track until I finally heard the OwB version...

Keep in mind though that Biro the Leggy dates back to pre-AHDO and spawned Mo Move. The song has gone through many iterations at Lemonworld...apparently.

It is (quite evidently) one of my favourite UW tunes ever. I loved it as Biro, I love it even more in its present version. And live, now that it has been perfected (no disrespect to R & K, but they kinda fudged it a bit at Cocoon last year) is absolutely goose-bump-tastic.

I disagree about the bongos. I think it brings a kind of purpose to the song that was missing in the original Biro version. Prior to that, Biro was beautiful but didn't go very far. It would have made a very good ambient track in and of itself, but this has metamorphosed into a dark, brooding, delicious dance track.

My favourite song on the album, and possibly now my second favourite UW song ever, just behind PG.
