We seem to have a radio edit of the new single I Exhale.

Very different - but I really like the distorted guitar fuzz. Bit Pixies-y. I wasn't super-keen on the sampler so am pleasantly surprised!

Strange choice for a single but I think I like it. I'm really glad it took me by surprise, that's something I was really hoping for.

Well it's certainly different, and I always leave open the option that something new from Underworld might grow on me if I don't like it immediately. But tbh I can't see myself getting into this at all.
Not my cup of tea to say the least.

Just downloaded I exhale from the underworld store as a free download if you ordered direct from them.

First listen: uhm, what?
Second listen: wow, there're a lot of sounds in here.
Third listen: I think I get it!

Sort of like "Trim" or "Ring Road" in that the melody doesn't really evolve, its a dirtier, rock sound, and the snippets of Karl's reports from the streets are a little bit all over the place. Maybe repeated listens will help me suss it out. But I like the groove, the overall atmosphere, Rick's voice in background, and yeah, a lot of noises to be revealed!

Very glad I pre-ordered, really cannot wait for March. Nice juncture.
I am not an Underworld anthem kinda of Gall myself so was really hoping for it to go more in the vein of OWB and tracks like Sappys curry etc those epic sublime tracks in between the commercial floor fillers. Thank you Rick and Karl for your fantastic musical brains.
So want to see this live but it costs half a mortgage to go to the Emerald City.....:(

I like it but we only have 7 tracks this go around with 6 left... If there were 9 or 10 I would be happy to find this eventually somewhere on the album but as a lead single of an already short album? Mixed feelings.
