Hmmmmmmmm, just got played on Radio 1, sounds nothing like anything on 100th Window. Its different to say the least, though i need another listen before i can form a definate opinion on it!

hey! I actually liked 100th Window...

the track sounds a bit like the Danny the Dog tracks... so it kinda stradles a few different 'vibes' at once. Like you get the strings from like Protection, Mezz's bass, and so forth

but it also kinda makes you wonder if this is a legitimate new track, or another one that they just dusted off, and (maybe) did some added work on it. I just say that b/c it was mentioned that this was the case for Danny the Dog and Bullet Boy.

I would suggest to anyone who doesn't like 100th Window to listen to it again, listening only to the five tracks with 3-D's vocals. I love every one of those tracks. The production/sound design/arrangements on them are breathtaking.

But I'm totally put off by the Sinead tracks, and indifferent to the Horace Andy ones. Listening to them all dilutes the whole thing and makes it rather bland...try just the 3-D tracks...yum.

Danny the Dog, however, is teh suk.

the only stinker for me on 100th Window is "Prayer for England"

but that has nothing to do with the new track... which is actually quite good

it's growing on me. i hated it at first.

now its like...im starting to like it.

the strings sound a little too craig armstrong-ish though.

liked it a lot on the first listen...have media player on repeat and I've noticed the song seems pretty short. It's growing on me...I like the entry a lot.

Just seen the video for Live with me. Powerful.

Yeah, I agree. I really hope that the new album, whenever it comes out, will be more in this soul-influenced style.

Thanks for posting that. It was great. Really struck a chord with me. W/ the video in the context of the song, I was there about 4 months ago.
