Title: We've got to try
Post by: Ben_j on Mar 07, 2019, 10:11
With the track officialy dropping tomorrow, let's make yet another topic.

I'm excited to hear the first track of the album we have never heard in any form yet (as opposed to GTKO, Free Yourself, MAH and even Eve of Destruction that we all heard in DJ Set and Live set before)

The track will premiere tomorrow at 11:30 GMT (I think) on Youtube. There seems to be some kind of partnership with Formula 1, which has me even more excited. You can't go wrong with a dog driving a Formula 1.

Well... that was underwhelming
Toward the end, there's a moment when it gets better... but just for a moment. Without the hook sample, I dunno, there's not much there. I do like the bridge, wish it was longer or more of the song was the vibe of the bridge. Feels more like a b-side.

"If you've ever complained that Formula One is lacking a global sonic identity then you are in for a treat in 2019.

Why? Because that's exactly the championships says it has combined with electronic music act The Chemical Brothers to create ahead of the new season.
Editor's Picks

    Who's hot and who's not: Ferrari top, Haas rises, Alfa falls

    A look at the 10 teams on the Formula One grid in the order preseason testing suggested they all sit on the eve of the Australian Grand Prix.

The English band are long-time F1 fans and have remixed a new track called 'We've Got to Try' from its upcoming album, 'No Geography'. The song has been accelerated to 15,000 beats per minute (BPM) to reflect the 15,000 revs per minute (RPM) a modern-day Formula One car is capable of reaching.

The song -- given the catchy title 'WGTT15000BPM F1 NEEEUM MIX' -- was released on Thursday to social media. The remix will be accompanied by a series of six-second films that show a dog behind the wheel of an F1 car and commandeering a rocket into space.

    NEEEUM: The fastest remix of all time

    WGTT15000BPM F1 NEEEUM MIX by @ChemBros#F1 #TheChemicalBrothers #NEEEUM pic.twitter.com/yslEhhino9
    — Formula 1 (@F1) March 7, 2019

The clips are from the full 'We've Got to Try' video, which tells the tale of 'Girl the Dog' and her mission to complete the impossible.

The accompanying press release says: "[The Chemical Brothers], famous the world over for pushing machines and technology to their limits via their music, have transformed a brand-new track into the iconic sound of an F1 car roaring past at high speed".

It claims the 'Neeeum' mix is the fastest remix of all time -- which it points out is "an appropriate claim for F1" and adds that the remix and the full 'We've Got to Try' song will be F1's "global sonic identity" going forward as well as becoming the sound of the F1 2019 season. It does not clarify in further detail what that actually means.

Last year F1 released a new theme tune for the championship, written by Brian Tyler, which quickly gained popularity with fans across the world as the intro to broadcasts and races on the world feed."

^ Oh the guy who directed the excellent SIFSD video. I wonder if the video will be better than the song...

I've listened to a 90 second clip of it on Japanese itunes, and yeah it does feel a bit like a B-side or a mess-around or an early Chemical remix circa Primal Scream's Jailbird. The samples seem to be the best part of the track. The Chemical bits aren't doing it for me so far. I found myself waiting for Masters At Works' "Just a Li'l Dope" to kick in. Probably a better track!

So is the NEEEUM remix vid just a 3 seconds snippet or the complete track. If you up the tempo to 15000 bpm the track won't be long  :D
Title: Re: We've got to try
Post by: androidgeoff on Mar 07, 2019, 20:00
It's possible they did the 15000 bpm version of an extended version? I think the song is only 3.5 mins long and like 92 bpm
Title: Re: We've got to try
Post by: Joslyn on Mar 07, 2019, 20:11
We've got to try is on the album before Free Yourself. So a 3 track chunk from the album. That kind of disadvantageous for an album listening experience.

Is that World premiere of Eve of destruction a real thing? Is it available to listen somewhere?

I can't imagine the story of the dog could be told very well in a three second video. But this does feel like an odd choice for a proper single/video release.

I still think those Vox are (manipulated) samples on there, rather than recreated vocals. Looking forward to seeing the album/sample credits.

I don't understand the B-Side comparisons.

It's strong, solid, lean, bigger than the sum of it's parts. It's got an energy that feels purpose built for a theme for a sporting event with little of the cheese. Classic yet modern. Unique yet chemical. Creative yet calculated. Simple yet everything. A fucking cool song.

I like it. Theres actually a few breaks and samples going on in there and its kind of of disjointed in a good way with the speed of it. It reminds you of the 90s era with the synth really dominant and the drum breaks. Which is no surprise when they went back to there old equipment. It will fit nicely in the album.

The grand prix is in my home town but its wasted on me cause I'm not a big fan and can't justify spending that much to go. Definitely in my situation at the moment and just too see if theres any chems promotion anywhere for it.

Im leaning toward your answer. Not b-sidish at all. track picks up very well at 2:30. wish it was longer too!

Sounds like something Avalanche would put out!

just a recap...Ive now listened to half of the album.

After 10+ listens, the track gets my approval.

Ok, so I am still waiting for my iTunes to catch up with the rest of the universe BUT had a listen on YouTube and damn that's phat. And I never use that word to describe anything because I feel so derpy just saying it, haha! I don't care, though. It's very old skool, love the throbbing squelches lined with that super crisp production, punctuated by crackles and pops you'd hear when playing an old vinyl you picked up second hand at the used record shop across town. This one's really nice, soulful, a blend of familiar and fresh. First impression after first listen. Worthy of many more listens to come. Love.

It has the playful attitude of 'Hot Acid Rhythm', but I'm getting 'Keep My Composure' similarities.

The novelty of this song might wear off over time, but I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of it while it's still fresh. t000n!

Ha! Brilliant video. I absolutely love it. Hat doff'd to Ninian Doff for that. I mean honestly, who listened to that track and thought: "Dog driving F1 car and taking off into space"? Bonkers.

First comments since hearing more than 90 seconds on itunes:

Listening to the whole thing, it had me thinking of white label bootlegs that came out around 2003-2006. Some record shops had a bootleg 12"s section where there was stuff like 1799,    (https://www.discogs.com/The-New-Originals-1799/release/382666) Reckless Dub,    (https://www.discogs.com/Stanton-Warriors-Break-Me-With-You-Reckless-Dub/release/156022) 7th Nation Freeland,    (https://www.discogs.com/The-White-Stripes-vs-Adam-Freeland-7th-Nation-Freeland/release/168729?ev=rr) Donna Kebab (https://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Donna-Kebab/release/137595) and Pixie Boots (https://www.discogs.com/False-Profit-Pixie-Boots/release/421944).  Pre-exisitng tracks given a breaks re-work (sometimes by well known artists) and put out on white label.
This feels like the Chems have done something similar, but instead of giving the track a 2003 breaks re-work they've given it a 1994 Chemical remix.

I think we've discussed before on the forum how the Chems often use samples imaginatively, and rarely hang their tunes on just one big sample. But here, they do exactly that. They haven't created a new tune with the sample, they've done a white label remix of Halleluiah Chorus. And I might like it if I stumbled on it in the record racks. It's kinda fun. But is it a single that matches the creativity of Star Gutar or Go and deserves a big video? I don't think so.

I do like the orchestral break at around 2.06. Nicely done. I also note that the "tryyyy" at 2.27 sounds the same as "try" on the Healleluiah Chorus record unlike earlier on when it's pitched down or something. Are the crackles from the source material or have then been added, I wonder?

In conclusion, it feels like a fun little bootleg remix, but not an A-side single for me. I'll be watching that video again though!

People are stupid, this won't replace the F1 theme (which is awesome). The "Sonic identity" thing is at best producing sound to go with the transitions during the races. Those were pretty bad before so it would be a good thing

Fuck me. It's amazing. So much fun. The track slams. The video is brilliant. The part where all the dudes are singing is wonderful. It's a pretty low key track for the most part (I can maybe see why some folks were saying what they were based on just hearing the music) but combined with this video... Maximum elevation.

Fuck me.

So good.

So what is NEEEUM? Is it just the sound of the F1 engine?

It's a 3 second "remix" of WGTT that they sped up to 15000bpm and filtered to sound like an F1 car speeding past.

Quote from: Ben_j on Mar 08, 2019, 14:04

People are stupid, this won't replace the F1 theme (which is awesome). The "Sonic identity" thing is at best producing sound to go with the transitions during the races. Those were pretty bad before so it would be a good thing

Do they still use the REAL (http://goo.gl/L3Qq8p) F1 theme at all?

Sorry. Triple post. This video deserves it though.

Anyone got any idea what the whispering voices are saying when we see the Dog Planet at the end? Sounds like a sample, and I'm guessing (hoping) it's a Chemical one.
I'm hearing "Give hop" or something like that...

"To celebrate the start of the 2019 F1 season, the British duo broke down, re-engineered and accelerated "We've Got To Try" to 15,000 beats per minute (BPM) to reflect the 15,000 revs per minute (RPM) that today's hyper-complex F1 cars are capable of reaching. Titled "WGTT15000BPM F1 NEEEUM Mix" and clocking in at a mere three seconds, it is the fastest remix of all time and approximates the iconic sound of an F1 car roaring by. "WGTT15000BPM F1 NEEEUM Mix" will be the new global sonic identity for F1 moving forward. Stream the remixHERE.

"The engineering challenge of creating the fastest remix intrigued us as F1 fans and music producers," said Tom Rowlands, who founded The Chemical Brothers with Ed Simons.

I think we've discussed before on the forum how the Chems often use samples imaginatively, and rarely hang their tunes on just one big sample. But here, they do exactly that. They haven't created a new tune with the sample, they've done a white label remix of Halleluiah Chorus. And I might like it if I stumbled on it in the record racks. It's kinda fun. But is it a single that matches the creativity of Star Gutar or Go and deserves a big video? I don't think so.

I do like the orchestral break at around 2.06. Nicely done. I also note that the "tryyyy" at 2.27 sounds the same as "try" on the Healleluiah Chorus record unlike earlier on when it's pitched down or something. Are the crackles from the source material or have then been added, I wonder?

In conclusion, it feels like a fun little bootleg remix, but not an A-side single for me. I'll be watching that video again though!

Meh, I think you're letting technical aspects get in the way of you enjoying music. Without todays technology, we would have gone years and (I mean years) until we were able to track down the sample. You've might have always had that "feeling" it was influenced from another track, but we'd never know the original source where it came.

I will agree they haven't strayed too far from the original sample(s), but I do think they formulate a new track. The original Hallaluiah Chorus track is a poppy r&b/soul which had a nice little produced instrumental break, and probably never saw the light of day even in it's prime. The Chems turned it into a sonic boombox blaster, which in-turn, sounds like a pretty awesome empowering battle cry.

Did you guys check out the credits on the youtube link yet?

Looks like this is not a sample, but another interpolation. Amazing how similar they can recreate it.  They credit Richard Pegue (producer of 'I've Got to Find a Way') as composer lyricist but nothing else.

Additionally, it looks like the vocalist is a really young Michael Jackson (you were on the money there Wolkenkrabber!) impersonator/singer.

This 3 second remix is such a tease at first thought (and that makes me giggle, haha)... but it's really not. On second thought I think it's great - What an interesting and challenging project.

Damn It's really simple but good track Every Chems Album had that slower chill track and No Geography's one will be WGTT
Have to say I disagree with this! The tune BANGS! It might actually be my favourite of the new tracks so far. It's definitely got more of an album feel than the FY, MAH, or GTKO, which seem built to be played live Imo. That could also be because we've been hearing em live for ages before the release..

Anyway, WGTT is a total earworm, has been on repeat in our house s I nce yesterday morning.

Edit: on the "chill" note, anyone have any ideas for which other tunes might be the slower ones on NG? My bet's on "Catch Me I'm Falling" but mostly based on it being the album closer!

For videos, I think Free yourself is still the favourite for me, You had to watch it a few times to pick up all the 'easter eggs' as people online like to call them throughout the clip. I wanted to watch it more than once cause there was a storyline going on and it was also left open at the end to suggest more questions what happens.

I know its a good clip when I want to watch it again like the other film clips they have done over the years. For some reason WGTT I don't have the desire to watch it again, I know what happens its cute, the end. The song is great though.

Oh, it's a translation mistake. Of course all the dancing clips have some meaning too. I meant that not-dancing clips had some story. For example in Believe the guy is working, then he's going home, then he's visiting a doctor and so on.
I don't mean that dancing clips are bad and mindless, but when 5 of 6 last videos are about dancing in some forms it's getting a bit annoying.

I like the track but hearing it too much in an arguably masculine fuelled environment like that kind of kills the magic a bit. Especially before the new album where hopefully you don't find yourself skipping it for that reason.

I had to get a tram through the city for an interview on the way to the Grand Prix and in all honestly would much prefer putting up with a Australian Football crowd than this one if have to deal with public transport sport crowds.
