Loads of Birds

[dubman]

at first i was a little miffed but im pretty glad it's not on the album as a regular release. it's a bit cheesy.

anyway there were a few tracks posted to underworldlive.com as fun bonuses for fans that would check that never were 'officially released'. much of it was ambient or experimental. a couple of them were decently fleshed out, some were just having a bit of fun...

FONESTRAP 1
FONESTRAP 2
FONESTRAP 3
FONESTRAP 4
FONESTRAP 5
AUTOTRADER 2
AUTOTRADER 3
AUTOTRADER 4/FONESTRAP 6
BBOYBGIRL
SHARK ARP
CALONLAN
SIMPLE PEAL 1
CAN YOU FEEL THIS BASS (actually a darren price track, but made available all the same)

but if you''re looking to itunes, then you might want to check out "art of peace: songs for tibet" compilation. it has an alternate version of "to heal" with spoken bits called "to heal and restore broken bodies"

oh and just in case you missed underworld's web-only riverrun releases, they're available at the underworldlive.com shop along with a few other goodies.

I love Loads of Birds! It's better than 95% of OWB.

greg-

i would have words with thee.

actually now i'm back to thinking this albums better than when i first got excited then 'realistic' about it. i've had the come down and i think i've trashed the album more than i should have in the process. boy, boy, boy isnt a good tune yet but it's familiarity makes it pretty okay, making ring road the only one that still really suffers. i like the rest of it a lot more.

more than "loads of birds" anyway. which is why im now pretty glad it's not on there.

Have words, then, Alan!

I used to like Crocodile, but now it sounds too bland and boring. I do like Beautiful Burnout, Holding the Moth, and Best Mamgu Ever. Boy, Boy, Boy I do kinda like, but most of this album is not something I'm going to turn to listen to very often. Loads of Birds is just deep and dark and sexy, and maybe you think it's cheesy, which I don't see, and obvious, which I don't care because it does what it set out to do and did it well. It gets me in a mood whenever I listen to it, and I can't say for much of the album.

well since we both powerword-ed each other all i really need to say in addition to the BB, HTM, and mamgu love is

GLAM BUCKET
FAXED INVITATION
CUDDLE BUNNY

come on these were always the best tracks...

croccodile and the rest aside from 'those two' are good at the very least, and the 'sexiness' of LoB is suuuuuuper goofy.
