Re: Barking - The Alternative Versions (AKA CD2)
Hi,
Anyway to purchase this separately? ..Looked on ITUNES today and did not see it. I am in the US..already ordered the deluxe DVD/CD ...would be another 85USD to get just CD 2..which after the youtube preview sounds sick. Bird1 sounds fantastic.

CD2 is exclusive to the Limited Edition Box Set. You can find links to order it here:

If you order from Om Records in the US, you can get it for $52 shipped.

After all my moaning about the collaborations, it turns out I'd probably agree with this actually. I like Grace on both CDs, but the Telematic Peal mix is just more... Underworld. Scribble I love the vocals, but the High Contrast stuff still pisses me off.
Oh, I think I'd probably take Hamburg Hotel Essex too, it's a bit weirder and I like that.

On the whole, the disc does sound a bit like work in progress versions, remixes, demos and such as opposed to finished tracks for a lot of it. I can imagine the versions of ALAF, Bird 1 and such being on EPs if anything. Sooooooooooo yeah. Not the Underworld version of the album some of us were expecting/hoping for, but it's still an enjoyable and interesting disc.

Re: Barking - The Alternative Versions (AKA CD2)
I was hoping and assuming it'd have a more complete feel to it. But I do like what I heard in that youtube link. I'll enjoy listening to disc 2, but I'm suspecting it'll be inferior to the album.

My problem with Barking isn't the collaborations (although I dislike the synth plop on Bird 1 which I'm sure was totally not added in by Rick or Karl). Everybody has some Underworld songs that they just don't care for. For me, I don't enjoy listening to three of the nine tracks all that much. I don't find much appeal in Between Stars (even when I first heard the live version), Grace, and Scribble, although I like Between Stars and Grace a little more then when I first got the album. The rest of the album is pretty solid for me, but that is three out of nine tracks I'm not really impressed with. Scribble is okay, I guess, but it just sounds so mainstream, which is not what I want from Underworld. Other songs on the album are poppy, but none sound so commercialized like Scribble.

I was thinking about combining tracks from Barking and CD2. I might still do that. I'll have Barking and CD2 on my iPod, and then...a custom track listing, and I think I might just keep all the Barking tracks except Scribble and replace that with YDS.

Don't forget to add Downpipe!

Re: Barking - The Alternative Versions (AKA CD2)
Actually, I'm stupid. I, uh, don't have Downpipe yet. I heard part of it and liked what I heard, though. But it is on iTunes. Might as well get it.

I may add Are You Rockstar? to CD2 in my library/on my iPod. It would fit in. Maybe I'll add Toobee, too.

Now that I think about it, I should also put Simple Peal on CD2. It would fit in better there than on Barking.

Edit: I went to buy Downpipe...which version do I buy? The Club mix that is over eight minutes long?

They are from a 2008 broadcast. I really like them. Soft UW music. Ambient and atmospheric and such.
