Re: High Contrast ft Tiësto & Underworld - The First Note Is Silent
The video is nice (!), and love the normal vox near the end too. Kinda strange finally hearing the track without that "ANNIE MAC RADIO ONE YOOOAAALP!!" sample and the crude cutoff mid-track.

I found both this image and song to be very appropriate:

Maybe that'd help the track!

Since "Downpipe" was played so regularly during the last tour, i have come to think of it as an Underworld track with additional production a la the rest of the tracks on Barking. Plus, it's dang catchy.

"TFNIS" strikes me simply as Karl loaning his vocals to HC's track. No idea what Tiesto contributed. In any case, its not growing on me.

"Expect soaring, feel-good synths with the uplifting rush of Tiësto's trademark trance, euphoric piano keys, pounding drums and yearning polished vocals from Karl Hyde in "The First Note Is Silent", gelled together in with the expansive widescreen production for which High Contrast has become known."

Agree. Just glad they didn't focus on that guy setting fire to himself.

That's pretty spot on from my initial reaction to the track. At first listen it was kind of like oil on water. UW is like pure water - natural and refreshing. Add a little oil such as that from Tiesto and HC and you get this blend of purity with toxicity.

I've yet to play this loud in a lone dark corner to really analyze and see what my true thoughts are of it, but I did I have to purchase the single on iTunes because I cannot NOT have any track that features some aspect of Underworld.

Re: High Contrast ft Tiësto & Underworld - The First Note Is Silent
Sorry about the completely needless bump (though is it bumping if the thread is stickied?), but my ambivalence about this track has suddenly evaporated - I really like it!

Re: High Contrast ft Tiësto & Underworld - The First Note Is Silent
I must admit, i havent heard this more than a few times. Tiesto cocking his leg up and spraying all over the track makes it unlistenable.
