and it reminds me, did anyone actually manage to save a complete set of the Lemonworld / Dogboyheadset tracks? I haven't heard "Swing Up High" in years, and I feel like I'm missing a few bits here and there...

For those of us who are newer to the forums, are any of these old tracks still available anywhere?
I've got some tracks in a folder called "underworldlive.com tracks" with MamaNuxx jam, Bit of Rope For Web, Unruly July etc but I've never heard anything about Swing up high until someone on here mentioned it the other day. What is dogboy headset?
Is there a list of all these other tracks anywhere so I can see what I'm missing?
Also does anyone know where the 7min version of Why why why came from?

None of those songs are available publicly anymore - there's not an 'UW Archive Website' (even though I know at lot of us on the forum have asked / suggested)

For a (relatively) brief period of time, UW Live was rebranded as 'dogboyheadset'... It included some audio, and - if I remember correctly - a collection of UW/Tomato videos (some were previously on Underworldlive, some weren't)

[maybe Dogboyheadset was supposed to be an archive at one point in time??] - this was at least ten/fifteen years ago

There were two different versions of "Swing Up High" ... Honestly, it was so long ago that my memory of it is a bit fuzzy, but I think they posted it when they were playing the early version of "You Do Scribble" live (so maybe the OWB tour)

I'm not sure about a 7 minute version of "Why Why Why" - but I do know there are two different versions on these releases:

This has a 5:16 version
https://www.discogs.com/volume-eight/release/115269

this one is 8:20
https://www.discogs.com/wasted-the-b.../release/89013

maybe it's a fan edit? According to discogs - there is a 7 minute version on:
https://www.discogs.com/millenium-hits/release/12593517


[edit]
I'm at work now, but later this weekend - I'll at least post a list of what I managed to save from the website

Thanks for the Swing Up High video, it sounds a bit like Lenny Penne to me after the first listen.

I've got the 7 min version of Why why why but I've no idea where from and what quality it is. I think I prefer it to the 12min one though as I find it flows better. Are the other versions different lengths because they're mixed in to other tracks or are they just different edits? If anyone knows that would be great as if they're unmixed I'm tempted to try and get a cheap copy of the cd with the 8min version on.
As for any other tracks I'd love to know (and get hold of) anything that I've missed in the past as these days I mostly listen to these kinds of tracks or live sets as I've listen to the album tracks so many times I like something different!

How long, exactly, is it?

The two from the Volume collections are not mixed. They're also unique edits (and not just fade edits).

I used Swing Up High in this video here:

I was reading through the liner notes of Drift Series 1, and they suddenly started talking about how Simon wasn't happy with the the music video for this and how it evolved and changed over time.

I was confused, so I threw the Blu-ray in the player, and sure enough, the video on there is different from original video posted to YouTube. Layered and black & white. With it being black & white now, it reminds me more of the Good Morning Cockerel video. That one was done by John Warwicker, so the similarity probably escaped Simon.
