If Rah

i haven't really liked an UW video since Footwear Repairs. They're fine, but after one watch, I never watch again.

[holden]

It makes sense that electronic music, so often inspiring dance, or thrown into the EDM category, should feature dancers in videos. I like the freeform nature of the routine, much like an uptempo version of the Chemical Brothers' recent "Wide Open" vid. Yet that had a concept...the dancer turning to mesh. Here, it's just a nicely synchronized routine. I guess I like a little variety (see modern dancers in UW's "Moon in Water"... Great quick cuts of multiple dancers, in studio and nature, group and individual routines). This and the vid for " I Exhale" are one note ideas.

BTW, I do like most of the Barking vids. Less crazy about those from OWB. Yeah, they don't make em like Shoewear Repairs anymore!

Yes, agree with the view that the vids haven't always been that inspiring or whatever. I do love this one though...

[joethelion]

I dunno... I've liked a fair number of videos since 'Footwear Repairs' (Push, KOS, TMO, most of the ones off of Barking... oh, and I did like the one for "Ring Road")

but this... just seemed uninspired. Like, I feel like I've seen it before - even down to the costuming.

However, I really do like this radio edit... it's probably the first time I've ever preferred an edit over the album version...

For me: Ring Road, with that chord building up to the last chorus. KOS Barking Mix. And strangely, Pearl's Girl, which I find works better as a 'song' rather than a long sprawling piece with vocal passages.

The digital promo for If Rah just arrived along with a Matthew Herbert Lunar Dub and the radio edit.

The Herbert dub is interesting, a long slow build, quirky, but better for listening than for the dancefloor I suspect.

Oh, and an instrumental too. Almost forgot. Time to invert an isolate the vocals...

[BrotherLovesDub]

drooling over the Herbert mix. can't wait to get that.
