I am absolutely in love with the way it sounded in Tokyo, but for some reason I can't imagine it ever working on a CD

[holden]

I was already excited for Oblivion With Bells...now that the lead single is almost here, i'm getting jumpy!

The beginning percussion is very reminiscent of TMO and much of AHDO, the shaker sound...the compression kills the details, though, so i'm not worried...this will undoubtedly rock in the clubs!

Love the growly bassline...classic UW!

The reverb doesn't bother me...gives it a LOT of atmosphere, and Karl's singling is lovely! The vocoded bit ~4:30 is indecipherable, but what else is new? JAL to Tokyo was a lot more difficult to understand throughout.

Personally, i like this better on first blush than TMO...there's just a lot more going on in Crocodile. And, i like that it apparently mixes into Beautiful Burnout...maybe the album will feature more continuous mixes (think the first half of the Chems' "Dig Your Own Hole" or "Puppy" by Fluke).

i agree with what was written above: bring on those bells!

man, listening to this song reminds me so much of the fall when TMO came out - and that was just such a happy time for me. i think with this record this fall, it's gonna be a most excellent year. i can hear it in the wind.

also, i just wanted to let everyone know that i'm gonna listen to crocodile on infinite repeat all day at work today.

that is all.

the fall seems so far away...

there's a pretty good quality recording of Tong's show over here
I extracted Crocodile using cue splitter. Download here
This version is still pretty compressed, but better than the one posted before.

Isn't Mark E Smith still making songs with The Fall?

I am getting Married at the Weekend and i have to say many thanks for the perfect Wedding Present Underworld!!!
Still wanted you to perform at the reception though. Any late flights to Kaunas going!?

I've listened to the song a couple of times this morning.

It kept spinning in my head the whole day. R&K doing magic again

Notice how the tracklist shows the record label as JBO? I thought they were using their own label now??
