New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)

[Dirty Canuck]

[QUOTE=Sappys Curry;143700]I haven't heard it all the way through yet, but Parc sounds like 90s UW to me, and that is a 2008 release.


Yeah I hear you, but what I mean though is Hamburg Hotel is quite free-form. The same kind of vibe I felt off an old JBO 12" if you catch my drift.

JBO 12". I know quite a lot about UW (I'm a diehard fan but several dirts here beat me ), but I'm not familiar with this JBO 12". Can you please elaborate or even give a link with info (if you could, please)?

JBO (Junior Boys' Own) was their first record label. Lots of 12" releases in the beginning. Dirty/Minniapolis, Rez, Spikee/Dogman Go Woof, Mmm Skyscraper, etc.

yea - I think he just meant - the 'vibe' he got from the old JBO releases...

I found a leak and was able to download it overnight... going to have a great day walking around Glasgow listening to the new album!!!!

Seconded. I love the song, but it feels "buried" somehow. The vocals especially should be imho clear and free of the echo/tunnel effect that's present. Maybe I'm just too used to the live versions, but the song sounds like it's struggling to be heard.

Couple of questions. Any tracks that merge on the album? Is Simple Peel longer than 4.31?as thats the one i have.

Am I the only one who haven't heard the album yet?

(I only heard a snippet of Grace weeks before)

I wait for the physical one for the full experience.

No merging tracks. Right length for Simple Peel (and no song on album is longer than 6-7 minutes).

Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head here. Karl's vocals were very strong element of the original, and they've a lot less impact with all the processing. A lot of other parts of song now feel over-processed also.

It's exactly the same version that's been floating around (as posted on underworldlive.com, for example).

anyone knows if the songs in the album version (physical) will have transitions between songs? i'm not a big fan of fades in u/w songs...

besides that, between stars and diamond jigsaw are my fav tracks right now. they have a new order feel, but with bigger bass and loads of intensity.
