This song fits the vibe of Morning Becomes Eclectic. A ravey drum and bass anthem doesn't really fit that shows format.

I guess so, its just that why no mention of it anywhere else? Its not often that a band releases 2 tracks in short succession is it?

Anywho, i'm not doubting it, just a bit baffled.

I'm really unsure about this one too. There's stuff I like in it but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. And doesn't sound anything like Underworld. At all. b-side maybe?

[King of Snake]

i do think it sounds very much like underworld. That's not to say that it isn't kinda weird, especially the gunshots. Maybe it's a connection to the lyrics, the story seems to be about a person in desperation, longing for just a day of relief from misery, maybe due to living in a warzone or other kind of violent surroundings...
Hard to hear if it's Karl on vocals or not.

If it's an Underworld song, it's pretty interesting. Gunshots sound odd. Hahaha. But I like it. (Thanks for the d/l, holden~)

[crank]

think the Gunshots are added in by KCRW. they don't fit with the song and are in a different,er, key, if you will.

[King of Snake]

why would KCRW add in gunshots?

[bryantm3]

sounds like 'still alive' at the end of the video game portal.



it might warm up on me but the vocoder effects are really bothering me. the music is good.

censoring? so tired of @#@$%&!!

e.g. so tired of horseshit.... something not radiofriendly like that....

also regarding to vocal.... not sounding like karl .... is it possible that its not karl based and simply purely machine based..... not filtered human but pure mechanism... pure synth. kraftwerk ymo like the the high pitched tremolo voices repeating wir fahren auf der Autobahn in harmony in the middle of that song?

just thoughts.

i love this song. sounds like a person on an above ground train traveling the city, staring out the window, yes, in despair, yes feeling helpless, watching the city turn by, shades of sunflares whipping across. beaten, hopeful, buyt barely.

[holden]

hmm, good point about the gunshots maybe censoring something out. They aren't particularly a great element to the song, and i think what bothers me is that the effects are pretty identically repeated...seems kind of lazy.

But - i went walking in the rain this morning (it's pouring in Houston) and "Good Day today" was a perfect score. It's gone from "gross" to "great" in 12 hrs, maybe 10 listens.
I can imagine this being an anthem for many mornings' commutes to work!
