Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
Of the 3 Phase tracks, I put Give Me the Room tops, but I would guess that Border Country has the most mainstream appeal.


The Phase songs are really interesting collaborations...I feel like it gives the Underworld sound an element of "danger"--maybe dare I say "emerson"-ish sounds.


Not that these are my favorite Drift songs, because they aren't, I just find them to be an interesting experiment.

shhh, you'll jinx it.

Give Me The Room really soured on me over time. i think it's one of the weakest karl selections of the bunch. "Sanctify" is... not an interesting thing to navel-gaze 50x over about.

Although I really like DC.... it has both the best and worst of the lyrics! making "a ring, a pinky... if you break the bargain then you go to hell" sound all intense and dark like that, it's nonsense

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
BC is absolutely my favorite. These collabs with Ashley definitely give UW that dark driving clubby edge that has been missing since Emerson left. Though, I also feel like that sound kinda fell out of favor for a while, until the likes of Gesaffelstein and Daniel Avery brought it back in the middle of the decade.

Re: Drift Ep. 4, Part 6 - Border Country
We knew the video for Border Country had been kicking around for a while, because before being the music video for BC, the visuals were used as part of the projections at the pre-show for Alexandra Palace's Surreal Carnival Experiment gig in 2017.

However, I found its ultimate genesis here, back in 2011, an unused creation of Simon Taylor and Jan Urbanowski for an installation in Hong Kong:

Interesting that the early version of that BC graphic featured a Coil track - was this odd frission while watching it of recognizing the song and assuming was something from an Underworld soundtrack score until it slowly realigned as Coil.
