i was thinking just the opposite. Price's stuff is very loop oriented and 1 dimensional. it's just a kick, simple bassline and looped vocal. every one of his tunes is the same. it's nice that they use them to join tracks but they're very plain tracks on their own.

Faxed Invitation needs that guitar bit from the version that opened the Lux gig.

the only tracks i don't enjoy on the album are the 2min ambient songs - To Heal, Cuddle Bunny, whatever the other one is called.

Peach Tree and Loads of Birds are both better.

the joy of the digital age is we can create a cd or mp3 playlist with exactly what songs in what order we want. Underworld have put out the album they wanted to deliver. we can assemble the tracks however we want. we all win.
