It is boring as all get out. 100% Craptastic.
And I thought that before I read stimpee's post.
The beat just feels off with the vocals. And the vocals are chopped up too much. It never really gets going.

Just did the same. And i agree. This isn't a remix, it's some crappy house track with a bit of Karl's vocal, not even in the same key, added on top. "It's a rush job" indeed.

"its a rush job, it looks good for long enough, knock em out sell 'em, move on its a rush job...."


laidback luke takes this seriously - that just about sums up this remix

what a steaming pile of poo of a remix, its totally ruined the good elements of Ring Road imo, and its devoid of any quality - where's melody from the chorus???

if this is what the kids are listening to in the clubs, i'm glad i'm out of it...

2/10 (max)

lets hope the other mixes are much much better....

to quote more of the single - "lets have a little moan..."

[dubman]

yeahhh, gotta do a big facepalm on this one.
a crap song with crap remixes all goes out on the latest single with no hint of any b-sides on the horizon.


ppppfffffffffffffftttt.

i didn't expect to like this mix but i actually do like it. speed it up a few bpms and i can see it being pretty great on a dancefloor. pretty nice sounds imho. esp. the bit at about 4mins.

if this was mixed into a misterons radio set with no info given, people would be shitting themselves.

As in, the "brown noise"?

Agree that on the dancefloor, this could work, but how can it be called a remix since all it uses are poorly placed vocal snippets? As an original production, it sounds like a couple half-tracks smushed together. Associating it with UW is just wrong!

Just listening to this for the first time as I type. I love the intro (loves me minimal bumps and blops, I do).

My two penn'orth: this will really work well in a club. The build up to the second "put the world to rights, sit right back and watch it all slide by" break at about 5mins10 is gonna produce a massive hands-in-the-air moment if it is done properly.

Nice break-sy ending.

First listen nearly over, and I want to listen to it again now.

yep quite literally over the direction the remixes are taking with Underworld's good name on the line

This sounds like some dance track LL had laying around with some UW samples badly bolted on. "a rush job". nice choice of sample. Its really nothing special at all, and without the sample no-one here who says they like it would be the slightest interested.
