well if you want to know the album version is actually 8:57 long

although those who have listened to the pitchfork rip of 6 minutes 43 ish will note that it fades into BB towards the end.

well the LP version i have does that, then runs for a further two minutes of really quite ambient noodly twidly stuff that does nothing more than loop and kinda fade for two minutes... there's no more vocals and beats, you're not actaully missing anything (its kinda like an installation piece) its nice but does not add to the track as heard already and hence is perhaps why the rips are 6:43 long

the radio edit is pretty sweet though - as it condenses the best bits of the track into just under 4 minutes... i'm kinda getting an 80's vibe from the melody when i hear this... which i personally like

any more info will follow....

Yeah cool to see DJs playing it..Sasha played it on the Essential mix on Radio1 from Cream Amnesia in Ibiza last weekend as his last track and you can hear the people screaming to it...goosebumps.

Two Months Off (King Unique Sunspots Vocal Mix)
Two Months Off (John Ciafone Vocal Remix)
Two Months Off (Desyn Masiello and Leon Roberts remix)
Two Months Off (Osamu M feat.Yuuki mix)

these are the remixes I know and heard in mixes but I think there are even more bootlegs available..the Osamu M remix never surpassed the CDR status as far as I know. For at least one year that track was played up and down in different remixes from DJ I listen to.

well the last two mixes listed above were made by the DJ's who mixed them for their own personal use and generally played in their own mixes, afaik, they may have sent them out to a couple of their dj friends, but they were certainly not played as promotional tools for the single /album

TMO got lots of radio edit airplay, i.e the single version was played a bit on radio one's dancey shows like Tong and Dave Pearce and the Judge if i recall lately....

looks like MTV have been playing the Crocodile video

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SGe5f5CbXcU

but i assume this just an old video, because from what we understand Simon Taylor has been in filming the band for the track...

so this is just a load of cobbled togther Tomato graphics - nice

i hope we do see the finished 'band' video....

Looks a lot like this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=A0oMwKnU3OM
Cos it's the Rez video


Remember Simon Taylor is shooting a video for crocodile? http://www.phofa.net/blog/simon/index.htm

Pete Tong has listed the Crocodile single as Junior Boys Own on his Radio 1 tracklisting, i'm almost certain that this is wrong...

afaik, JBO are not releasing this single, perhaps Tongy needs to be told, unless someone at JBo sent him his copy direct - and just assumed its still a JBO release...

Man, Underworld never cease to amaze me. They drop a track off the new album - and not only is it nothing like anything they've released in the past five years, but it's some of the best material we've heard out of them since dubnobass.

Also, is there some kind of update email thing I can add myself to, to get notified of things like new gigs or album updates?

best way is to keep checking this forum and underworldlive.com for info
