This has the feel of an 80's tech instructional video. I would love them to release something like this!! Keep on with the new stuff!

Ok just heard this all the way through for the first time. I love it. I actually really like the synth tone in this one. It's time to bring shit like that back.

agreed - this tune and the synth needs working to maximum effect - i'd like the 12" just to have the 7" version plus extended version - just like in the 80's (you can keep the freur style hair and clothes though they can stay in the past...)

No kidding to everyone that says that it sounds too 80's let's remember that lots of great tunes were made in the 80's!!

I like the song a lot, but honestly it IS the synth tone that makes this a great one for me!! It really does work!! Don't change it please!!!

Signed,
10000 Underworld fans

Underworld are going full circle with this, they started out in the 80's lets call it a comeback

the synth is THIS tune...

even if its unworked - I keep playing this live version because its awesome...

on a side note - i think the lyrical presentation on Diamond Jigsaw is a bit similar in style to Oasis (and a bit like cigarettes and alcohol) - maybe its only me...

Yes but lots of great tunes were not made by Underworld in the 80s. It hasnt aged well. (sorry rick/karl). I know theres a sort of 80s revival but this song has to change. I think its just being played now in a live setting with "proper" instruments and that Rick will modify it and make it sound more "underworldy" later. The basics are good. I like it, but I'm not in a hurry to hear a studio version until the band are finished with it. If thats next year, then fine. Meanwhile, lets enjoy hearing it live and hopefully hearing the changes that are being made.

hmmm its underworldy already - with Karl's vocals - thats all you need the rest can stay - especially the synth stabs - it does need polishing but not that much

Well, I'm ruddy loving this, constantly on my iPod alongside Deep Arch oddly. Good to hear more new songs with vocal alongside Between Stars.

Bamboo and You Do Scribble are good as well, but missing Karl's lyrics.

i really like it. its a quality track imo. something about it is making me smile. would i like an entire album of this 'sound'? nope. but this track sure is fun.

I love the song, personally. It's like an MK. I track done from the perspective of Underworld today. Admittedly there's a bit of a rift between it and the other songs they've been trying out live lately, but then again there was a similar rift between Two Months off and the rest of the AHDO songs, and the boys made that work out just fine. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Diamond Jigsaw was the lone survivor of or among the few survivors of UW6 for live performances in the future (as was the case with Two Months Off and, more recently, Beautiful Burnout).
