Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

for those wondering
i'm referring to the tracks:
===================
1 Can U Feel Me
2 Big Meat Show
3 Organ

they are all very cool, and whether
they should have stayed on the album or
not is interesting to think about...

it's interesting to hear them in the context of the album,
and to think about the tracklisting..

underworld - dubnobasswithmyheadman 9/20/93 (prototype)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dirty Epic 9:58
Jamscraper 8:54 -> same as cd-single
Big Meat Show 6:43
MMM Skyscraper I Love You 13:01
Organ 6:19
River of Bass 9:06 -> longer version
Dark And Long 7:28
Dirty Fuzz 9:59 -> Dirty Epic (Dirty Guitar Mix)
Can U Feel Me 4:25
Goodbye Mother Earth 7:07 -> mother earth or m.e.
=====================
of course the whole album would have sounded different,
and as an exercise, put the tracks together and listen
to them that way..

by the way, if you are are wondering where to get these from,
you might Really wanT to go liSten fuRther really fast to find them..

...

what

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

It's really incredible, this. I mean, to follow a band so closely for a decade and more and still have something like this turn up. It's just wild that there's still more unheard Underworld music out there -- completed songs, even.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

yeah i should clarify that i'm not confused about whats happening, just that i'm pretty goddamn shocked about it.
converting to wav now.

edit: now this is interesting. if they were always on the album, would we somehow think of them better or worse than if we hadnt heard them 15 years after the album release?
they sound pretty... bad to me, aside from organ, which is okay. but had they been on the album, would these be familiar semi-classics instead?
hmm.

edit2: okay i'm starting to like them, but still dont feel anywhere near up to par with anything from dubno... cept M.E.

What's the best way to play FLAC files in Windows? Anyone know of any?
Or any good converters?
Anxious to hear these, but I don't have a way to play them.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Um, where can I find these tracks???????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

raj's post contains valuable information regarding the whereabouts

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

If these are dubnobass era leftovers and outtakes I can only imagine what might be laying about from the STITI era, but that is a pipe dream at this point as we've been bestowed with quite a luxury thanks to Deckard236.

I'm a bit uncertain about these tracks at the moment. It's funny because at times they sound so foreign but very familiar. You can hear little sounds and tweaks going on that would appear in other forms and on other tracks elsewhere.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

i use the FLAC front end,

which is included with the executable below..

For Mac users, I use Cog or Play to play back FLAC. Use Max or xACT to convert to other audio formats.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

I think at worst, these songs would have been regarded as low points of the album, much like Push Downstairs, Air Towel, Ess Gee and other such unpopular album tracks. Every Underworld album comes with one or two non-classics, with the possible exception of Dubnobasswithmyheadman.

I suspect the guys knew what they had created and knew the strengths and weaknesses of each component, and put out the best possible collection of songs they could.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Air Towel as the low point of STITI?....them's fighting words ;)

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

yeah air towel is fucking great.
stiti is the only album that doesnt even *have* a low point.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

I love low point! real close to the floor point and painted ;)

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

This is pretty cool to see these new old tracks showing up. I guess I like 'Big Meat Show' the most, especially those piano and guitar parts. 'Can U Feel Me' is too much MK1-like, those other two fit way more in the style they presented on Dubnobasswithmyheadman.
Guess those tracks will get a high rotation next weeks on the iPod...

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Starting with Winamp 5.5, it can play FLAC files by default.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

No need to convert if you just use Fluke to make iTunes play your FLAC files.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Sweet baby James! What a surprise to see this come out of seemingly nowhere! Obtaining now.
(i hope these aren't tooo much in the vein of those Unreleased Demos circa 1990-91, although even in those, there were a few riffs that made it to Dubno)

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

i agree...
i've been listening a lot too 'big meat show'...

they're on a loop since yesterday....fascinating..

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

of course, as pointed out, this would be too long
to fit on a cd...

but that doesn't stop us from putting together
a playlist, etc..

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Nice surprise, thx for putting it up!

After a first quick listen, I heard:
- the opening bits of "Tongue" throughout "Big Meat Show"
- the opening sequence of "Organ" is quite similar (higher pitch) to the one in "Lemon Interrupt - Eclipse (remix)" in the recent broadcast

Guess it's mostly leftover from the Lemon Interrupt times.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Boring :)

Hehe only kidding, not sure im gonna be listening much to Organ, but i love Mig Meat. Brillo.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Could someone please help out those that can't access the RTSR tracker (like me, I am using a shared computer and I am not allowed to install any programs) with a link to rapidshare or megaupload?

Many thanks!

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

i don't think we realize how important this find is.... this is unbelievable considering these have been hidden from us for so long - and never even mentioned or known about until now...

i'm very surprised by the fact this has not surfaced until now, but then again - there are probably more things like this out there - at least tracks that have been sent out to test reactions etc - and considering uw had supposedly 180 tracks around the RRP releases this is potentially good news for future 'unheard gems' being released to us...

i'd be interested to see if anything else surfaces...

anyway thanks for sharing its like the holy grail - we didn't even know existed!!!

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

mig meat? something from the soviet era? heh heh...

but i agree, big meat show is really cool..

Can U Feel Me = End of MMM...Skyscraper...

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Thanks for that, stimpee. I've been waiting for something like that for years, but had no idea something had come out.

It's a nice place! With good peoples.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

Please take this to the RTSR board, or take it private. The dirty forums do not distribute UW stuff.

*unless it was given away on uwlive at any point.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

i surf around but i still see no unreleased dubnobasswithmyheadman tracks/link/whatever
time for me for glasses or am i really 2 blond 2 see

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

ok

first of all - "Airtowel" and "Push Downstairs" are NOT the low points of either of the aforementioned album

and secondly OH WOW I haven't even had a chance to listen to the tracks yet... but damn!

I mean - think about it... these songs have NEVER been mentioned or hinted at (towards their existence)

...what about all those other mentioned tracks, that have remained unheard?

...and I really am anxious to hear what R&K have to say about these songs suddenly showing up? Which reminds me... I don't think they ever commented on those MK1* demo's either

*although, I don't really think that those should really be considered as MK1 demo's - as not only is "M.E." amongst them - there are also flourishes here and there that eventually were in some early UW MKII/ Lemon Interrupt/ Steppin' Razor remixes (if memory serves me... Honestly, I didn't care for the demo tracks that much, and haven't listened to them for ages)

...waiting impatiently to finally hear these songs....

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow!!!!!!!!!!!!


ok so some responses after hearing the tracks for the first time->

sure, "Can You Feel Me" definitely sounds a bit MK1-ish, and probably wouldn't have fit well amongst the other tracks on the album. But there are definitely bits here and there that REALLY remind me of early Steppin Razor & Lemon Interrupt mixes, which unfortunately - I can't go back and double check which ones, b/c I lost most/all of my remixes from that era when my old computer died :( -> some of the guitar also sounds familiar, like right after Karl says "can you feel me" for the first time... maybe it was in "tongue" (but back in the mix?)

...and that "boop boop boop" sound at the beginning sounds almost exactly like the intro to the Steppin Razor remix of "Thrill Me" just maybe at a slightly different tempo. (No - not the "Steppin Razor Ambient Mix" -> I mean just the "Steppin Razor Mix")

"Big Meat Show" -> it really sounds like a combination of "The Hump" (the growly noises) one of the remixes of "Human Behaviour" (I can't remember which one), bits of "Skyscraper", there's also (obviously) some of the intro of "Tongue" in there too.

"Organ" -> definitely some similarities to "Eclipse" on the intro... and some bits here and there remind me of "Surfboy" although - it seems to be the most 'unique' amongst these 'new' songs, and could have probably fit onto the final version of "Dubno..." the easiest. Although, in all honesty, I think it might work better if it was edited down a little bit.

is it just me - or do these tracks seem to have more 'real' instruments on them than the other 'dubno' tracks? Like, there seems to be noticeably more live bass (or at least what sounds like a bass guitar) on them than other stuff? And 'normal' guitar as well.

also - I'm really intrigued as to how the long version of "River of Bass" sounds....

[EDIT]
um guys....
so I just tracked down my copy of the "MK1 Demo Tape" and what did I find... "Feel Me" but it's a 4 minute version, not 4:25
which makes me wonder -> MMMMMAAAAYYYYBBBEEE the older, previously known MK1 demo tape is from a bit closer to the creation of "Dubno" than we thought. Or at least, closer than what I originally thought...? any ideas?

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

As xolbe2 spotted, it's the staccato guitar from the downtempo ending of Skyscraper.

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

ahhh I see...

so...

"Feel Me" (MK1) and "Can U Feel Me" ("MK2") basically became "Skyscraper" and Simply Red's "Thrill Me"

Re: [new tracks] -> _unreleased_dubnobasswithmyheadman_era_
 

looks like i need to check out the mk1 demo,
i skipped it...

Well I'm glad that everyone is enjoying the tracks on some level. It's great to hear the different opinions and theories regarding these. Sorry it took 15 years to get these out, but it was also kind on nice thinking that I might have one of only a few copies (you guys know what I mean). It is also fun sharing. So based on the fact that I didn't realize that ROB was in fact almost 3 minutes longer than the DNBWHYM version (am I stupid or what?) I am going to put the whole thing up. Who knows maybe you guys can spot some differences that I haven't been able to. I am at work now, so time permitting, I will try to do that later this evening. Looking forward to hearing some more feedback.
