We already have an extended version of STAR in the form of Lenny Penne.

Haha, I'm happy that I'm not the only person that hears bits of "Bamboo" in there. (And agreed, I'd love to have a release version of it.)

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 6 - S T A R
 

Oh I just looked the lenght of the video, and it's 3:44, but the track's lenght is really shorther, actually only 3:33.

Worst Sequence:
I spy Dr Dre, Dr Dre on the Towy, I spy David Bowie
David Bowie in the ring, I spy Dr King, Dr King on the tele

To an American, towy and tele sound exactly the same (whats a Towy?) and the two "drs" is also weird.

Best Sequence:
Nye Bevan at the top, I spy Iggy Pop, Iggy Pop at the wheel

The beat drop and full-layered comeback at Iggy Pop is perfection.

Re: Drift Ep. 5, Part 6 - S T A R
 

Maybe the river or the railway? I'm not sure what Dre would be doing on either though.

Rebel Tech Version played on MAH: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0009l5r
skip to the 41 minute mark or so...


I've got my own strong opinion on it and it's giving me flashbacks to that Iggy Pop EP, but i'll let that one simmer. it's not a minor tweak and made out to be a whole new version, though. this is genuinely... something else.

Re: DRIFT Series 1 - New album, Nov 1, 2019
 

Very peculiar. I actually like all the new noises and sounds, but the structure of the song has basically been destroyed. The original had those big drum sections between the verses, sort of simulating a rousing chorus, while this version feels like it's constantly building towards some kind of blistering beats that never come.

Re: DRIFT Series 1 - New album, Nov 1, 2019
 

yeah it's like they replaced the "Lenny Penne" bit with "Trapped". though it's a bit more bonkers


tbh I was hoping for something like this, you've always got the originals. the more tweaks on the boxset they do the better
