New Songs Premiered at RAH Show
Surprised there hasn't been a thread yet about the 4 new songs premiered at the Royal Albert Hall show. A bit going on at the Underworld Reddit about it. Very promising and epic (especially Strawberry Hotel) - can't wait to see what this all turns into.

Don't be discouraged! These 4 tracks should all be great news-harbingers of more new releases, and perhaps 10-15 years ago this forum would have devoted a new thread to each track to discuss, dissect, and speculate. Not really a lot of discussions happened in the Live gig thread, TBH. Acknowledging that the forum, fanbase, and how we perceive new music have changed, it's still exciting that our favorite band is still creating and hopefully still releasing new tunes soon. In 2003 i would have been downloading a dodgy bootleg from the gig via FTP!

Here's hoping these all get official releases as part of some new project and we (whoever is still active here) will take a deeper dive.

Re: New Songs Premiered at RAH Show
Thank you both, appreciated! Hoping that we get more news soon about what this new project is and assume we'll discuss it all more once officially released (beyond just the new single). The other tracks seem even more interesting and emotional, though I do appreciate the new banger.

of the 4 I thought "And the Colour Red" was the least exciting - as good as it is. "Gene Pool" in particular sounds great, I love that weirdo melodic side of them. can't wait to hear them properly.

Re: New Songs Premiered at RAH Show
My one takeaway from these is how heavy the beats are. Almost a return to the 909-heavy sound of the '90s stuff. A lot of the stuff this century has been mellower, even the more straight-up techno stuff, so this is an intriguing direction. Looking forward to hearing studio versions of them all.

Re: New Songs Premiered at RAH Show
Well, they already turned to a lot more heavy-ish, stripped down techno sound on several Drift tracks so it feels like a natural continuation from that.

Re: New Songs Premiered at RAH Show
Yeah, it feels like a growth from the 'Another Silent Way' end of things, I suppose. I guess the audience recording probably adds a rougher quality anyway, but they definitely feel more like that than stuff like 'Listen to Their No' and 'Border Country'.
