Re: Phonestrap

Re: Phonestrap

EDIT: heh you have to click on the picture. not logical at all. nothing happens when i click on the text...

Grab it here

Re: Phonestrap
 

damn i thought this was an Underworld merchandising accessory?

Re: Phonestrap
 

That was pretty cool. Thanks for the link.:cool:

Re: Phonestrap
 

Lush song, love it.

Re: Phonestrap
 

thanks for sorting out the link...

I couldn't download it at first (either)

the guitar sounds very familiar... does anyone know if like - an instrumental of this was used for "Sunshine"

Re: Phonestrap
 

Remix of Phonestrap. Mmm. Any chance we'll ever hear it?

Re: Phonestrap
 

remix, who needs that when the original is bril!

Re: Phonestrap
 

well when its touched up by the man who made it then it could be even better...

Re: Phonestrap
 

I really dig this track. Love the tone of the guitar. I was watching Sunshine yesterday and heard some similiar nicely crunchy and distorted sounds. (can't wait for that soundtrack to come out!).

Re: Phonestrap
 

lovely.


thanks stimpee

Re: Phonestrap
 

A new version is up online. Very cool. Think this is the version that Karl was referring to in his posts?

Re: Phonestrap
 

While i'm all about Karl playing his guitar in the first version, this one actually sounds like an UW track...maybe a future B-side?

Re: Phonestrap
 

Anyway to download (version2)?

Re: Phonestrap
 

madonna vibe on this one :p

Re: Phonestrap
 

I think I love the first version more...

Re: Phonestrap
 

downloading takes some work

it's a .mov file for some reason

Re: Phonestrap
 

I like the first one better, but that probably becuase i've heard what the second one evolved from. Still canny good like.

Re: Phonestrap
 

i'm loving v2.0 of this...hypnotic.

Re: Phonestrap
 

I didn't get to hear the first version :(

Re: Phonestrap
 

Re: Phonestrap
 

hm...

it's funny - I LOVED the music to the original version, the vocals seemed a bit too high in the mix, like it was just sitting on top of the guitar

this second version, however - the vocals definitely fit the music

yet

I like the first version more... it's almost like there was more 'emotional investment' (or whatever you want to call it) in the first version. It had this sort of sweet-yet-melancholic vibe - while this new version, just... well - it just seems like a track. Like, it's just a song no more, no less

Re: Phonestrap
 

Yeah, I definitely prefer version 2 somehow. Yan's right about the Madonna vibe :D

Re: Phonestrap
 

A brief snippet of what might happen if Underworld teamed up with The Blue Nile and they did a version of Phonestrap ;)

Re: Phonestrap
 

this version reminds me of 8ball from the Beach soundtrack.

Re: Phonestrap
 

Yeah, now you mention it Crank, it defo has the same vibe:)

Re: Phonestrap
 

Not been able to keep up with UWLive.com or the forum for the past wee while so only got round to this. Been on repeat for the last hour... it's fantastic. The new version seems quintessential underworld somehow.

Re: Phonestrap
 

Version 3 is up now, and is my favourite so far! A nice ambient take on it. :)

Re: Phonestrap
 

I wonder if we're seeing their song writing process in action here? As we know from the Warner-chappell site, they can often go through 30-40 or more revisions of songs.

Re: Phonestrap
 

Interesting thought! Could be, could be.


What stark differences between the three versions, even though it's a pretty simple track, basically guitar and voice. #1 seemed like a close miked solo, #2 as a minimal electro track, now #3 has haunting echo, and could have fit in easily on any of the RiverRuns.

Thanks so much for sharing with us, boys!

Re: Phonestrap
 

nice

Re: Fonestrap
 

I think this is a fascinating way to show us some insight to their writing process. Months ago there was a thread asking which songs fans wanted on an official release most, and my first thought was "all of the unreleased versions of our favorite songs." I just quoted myself. Anyway, I love this idea and hope to see more of it in the future. This is really great stuff.

Re: Fonestrap
 

Fonestrap2 is hypnotizing. I absolutely love it. It has the same feel as Ansum-with-beats at the opening of their live shows. This is exactly the kind of groove I like to hear before they get into their act. Wonderful.

Re: Phonestrap
 

yes, definitely a madonna/orbit vibe on this, the vocal melody reminds me a bit of michael stipe too...

Re: Fonestrap
 

Fonestrap3 is just great. the best yet.

Re: Fonestrap
 

wow...

fonestrap3 is fantastic

it really sounds like it took the best portions of the previous two versions and combined them.

Re: Fonestrap
 

Version 4 is up and is AWESOME. Bloody good stuff, I'm loving the evolution of this song!!

Re: Fonestrap
 

Fonestrap 4 sounds like they added the Romford or SF walk recordings to the background, plus some lovely pads that brought back a STITI feel for me.

Any way to save this? I have the other 3 versions as .mov files and will convert them all to mp3.
