Live Again

[ThePumisher]

at some of the love shows

Can we agree on calling every Chemical show "love show" instead of live show? You know, because it is.

I like it. I got the same vibes when I heard Under Neon Lights for the first time...

This song has been stuck in my head since that teaser, and is permanently implanted in my brain as of 4am (yeah I woke up early to download  )

I really like this. Like, a lot. The beginning reminds me a bit of... like when you are tuning in on a radio, and you adjust the knob and finally hit that sweet spot on the dial   Love that whirring of sound orbiting around that warped pulsing bass, and that fluttery break at 3/4 (was not expecting that!!), and the vocals are really nice and dreamy.

This will be on repeat today and listen to what else my ears pick up on that I didn't get with the first few listens...  I can't wait to hear this in context with the rest of the album!

It's also in my post at 9am UK time. BUT it's a different upload. The earlier one was timed at 5:01, this one is timed at 4:59.
The track time isn't a big deal. But I'm confused by YouTube channels when things get uploaded twice like this. Both on the official Chems channel.
Anyone understand why this happens?

Oh wait, the earlier one was Chemical Brothers Topic. So the automatic "topic" thing is quicker than the Chems channel?

No big surprises since I've listened extensively to the DJ and live love bootlegs, I think it's really fantastic! It might be my favourite of the officially released new tracks so far!

Could the existence of an Extended Mix mean it will get a 12" release? One can dream...

YES GIVE ME MY LONG VERSIONS

[Wolkenkrabber]

Listening to the extended version - and only the extended version - I'm hearing something in the intro; the first 43 seconds. I think we've heard it in the live version, and I thought it was a muted trumpet sound at first (Mallorca Live Festival thread). But now I'm thinking it sounds like a sample from Roy Budd's "Get Carter" Theme. Thoughts anyone?

[Funk Electric]

I think I'm inclined to agree with those who have questioned the structure of the 5 minute edit - the peaks and troughs don't quite land for me in the way they do in, say, All of a Sudden. The shoegaze texture is lovely and I'm a big fan of the psychedelic breakdown from 3.24, but the skittering rhythm, hi hats and cymbals all feel a little lightweight to me. Maybe I was expecting the bass and percussion to hit harder than they do, or for the track to flow as naturally as a tune like Burst Generator. This all could, of course, feel different within the context of the forthcoming album ... these Brothers do usually tend to work it out.

I love this track. This album is going to have such a unique sound!

[gavin35]

Yeah I love this track, first time I heard it was at Printworks in December and I took my phone out to record it straight away. Its a banger

[GLAKO-FAHN]

breakdown bit at 3:24 really feels like 1990s orbital to me

Love it from the first listen, the lush of main synth riff is so addictive. 

Now all I need are the full lyrics and fancy B-Side!

I was hoping this one had the first half of the track when it is played live, that subtle bassline was so good.

About the track itself I think it's great, been listening a lot since the release. I felt it kinda had a slow momentum in the live set though when I first heard it in May, don't know if it will hold on in the setlist after the tour because of it.

And myself for buying the single and providing the audio for upload, it was worth it xD
