This is so true. All i need are a few studio-version downloads from UWLive (somewhat promised in that mtv interview) and i'll work up my personal version of Oblivion with Bells.

Oblivion with Holden: (TBD, 2008?)

1. Crocodile
2. Beautiful Burnout
[COLOR=blue]3. To Heal (...and restore broken bodies; Mr. Smith vocal version)[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]4. Always Loved a Film[/COLOR]
5. Holding the Moth
6. Ring Road
7. Glam Bucket
8. Boy, Boy, Boy
[COLOR=blue]9. Darc[/COLOR]
10. Faxed invitation
11. best Mamgu Ever
[COLOR=blue]12. Metal Friend[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]13. Phonestrap6/Autotrader4[/COLOR]
[COLOR=blue]14. You Do Scribble[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff](cut: LP "To heal"; "CBvstCV", "Good Morning Cockerel")[/COLOR]

looks a lot better holden, except ring road, and i don't know what metal friend is.... (and i don't know if you do scribble should be there...

I'm surprised Boy,Boy,Boy is not getting more love here. I love how it (and as I've taken it to mean the titular "Boy") morphs from tough/aggressive/showy to sad/vulnerable/pathetic about halfway through the song...when the lyric "I hurt myself like this sometimes" hits with the music change it gets me every time. That's what I take it to mean anways, I've not taken a look at all the lyrics or anything.

On topic, this album is ranked second after Second Toughest for me. At first I was not liking the second half either but after repeated listens...I love it. It's Underworld liberated from making the big dance tune and making the music they feel...there's nothing like Dinosaur Adventure 3D here.

I really like Good Morning Cockerel.

"off with your head off with your head" from Boy Boy Boy makes me think it's some bizarre retelling of Alice in Wonderland (plus there was that Alcie video set to Big Mouth on youtube a while back, not that they are really connected except in my mind)

well ok they are not really completely developed tracks and are probably not meant as such, but I find myself enjoying those tracks a lot more when listening to the live gigs than, say, Glam Bucket.
Maybe I'm just still kinda waiting for more beat-oriented material from uw since this album is overall so ambient, and Price's track fill that gap because they have kind of an uw sound to them.

Faxed Invitation needs that guitar bit from the version that opened the Lux gig.

Hmm I never heard this sadly. But sounds like it could be nice.

I don't understand why you keep saying you've never heard it. The credits on the artwork say "mastering by king of snake." Is that a different King of Snake?

[dubman]

the flac on that keeps messing me up on faxed and only faxed from lux. i've tried other decoders and i get the same error. rrr!
