Diamond Jigsaw Single Information and Ordering Links

[BrotherLovesDub]

Sorry but this whole single seems like they're trying to fail. Both mixes are shit. How is there not an extended PVD full on trance mix? Not that I want to hear that but seems like they could have at least tried to get it played on some dancefloors. What about that overhyped prick Deadmau5? Lots of idiots like his music and his style would fit Diamond Jigsaw.

Underworld were owed a remix, since Underworld a track on 2nd to last LP released...
Underworld love Manics... you should too. I agree with you that the remix is a fail, but such is life.

Underworld love a lot of music that i'm not keen on, then again R & K are over 50

yeah being owed a remix is fair enough... i'll let it lie - just this once

i'd have liked an official Marshal Watson remix on this one

Indeed. Why nothing on underworldlive? Or am I missing something.

I love deadmau5 too, btw

Any word of the track listing for the promo cd? I hope there is an extended mix.

whatever mixes do officially surface - one or two might please one or two fans, but thats about it. i love remixes, more music and variations, but are they better than the original - almost never... compare and judge away, but don't expect enjoyment from the experience

I agree with you, Matt. Purposes of remixes are to broaden diversity, to display more aspects of a song, to bring the song to a wider audience (and, hence, to sell it more often). I'm always happy about a diverse array of remixes. It just struck me that I don't like ANY of the remixes of Jiamond Digsaw. The underlying problem is that I don't like the original itself, so I seem to have deluded myself into hoping that I would certainly find one of the remixes entertaining.

(Thanks for the link, I feel honoured to confused with Evan. I am wary of excessive use of the attribute 'hilarious' but that rant surely requires it. This Evan guy seems like a delightfully misanthropic fella who appreciates an ironic mustache.)

Careful, son. What do you want, trance in general OR early-90s trance trance OR full-on specifically? Or even some pseudo-innovative neo full-on with a fair amount of bleep patterns (might be indicated by existing Diamond Jigsaw remixes)? Watch that attitude, boy. You gotta be serious with something as important as trance music. Next thing, you're wandering about telling people Genesis and Underworld started prog...

[holden]

I feel like this is a bit like the "Jumbo" single, or worse, the deleted "Twist" release.
Released into a void.

Has "Diamond Jigsaw" received any airplay? I live in the USA, so none of the tracks from "Barking" did, but at least there was a certain amount of indie buzz around "Scribble" and "Always Loved a Film".

I really do enjoy the album and welcome a single if there's something new from UW to hear, but not a string of remixes by whatever semi-trendy producer of the month tacks a bit of Jigsaw vocals over his/her crap track.
