(Although from a production perspective I'd like the cymbals and hi-hat to be a smidge crisper / out front). Wads of energy and some sneaky snare and kick drum hits where I wasn't expecting them.

Really deep bass tones in this track too which creates some atmosphere.

Ecca Vandal.

edit: have just had a very quick listen on the proper stereo (via spotify) - there are quite a few aspects of the production that I don't like - but - I do still like what the drummer is doing

Yeah the cymbals are mixed right back in both those versions, and I agree, not sure it's doing the song any favours. Interestingly it looks like in both cases the cymbals used (at least in part for the OG video) are dark, crunchy choices. Cymbals that sound great to your ear with lots of texture but can't cut through shit, especially guitars. Makes me wonder if it's a specific choice.

It is good, but they've done so much that's better. I can't listen to it any more for some reason, possibly cos its been overplayed so much! (or I'm a sniffy prick who hates hearing people shout lager lager lager whenever Underworld get mentioned )

Been getting back into dance recently. This album has been a daily listen

Thanks for this, I'll have a listen. Last year's essential mix was good too. Listen to Essential Mix 18.05.2024 by I. JORDAN on #SoundCloud

Cheers in return. I should get back in the habit of checking soundcloud.

He’s not Jordan, I am Jordan!

(And so is my wife)


Will give that a go, usually have something dance/trance/drum + bass on in the van at work

This is predictably very good

Just hit play on that and when the first beat dropped, all the hairs on my neck stood up, instantly took me back to some dark clubs and big sound systems had to hit pause, am gonna save it for when I can properly get into it.

Took the lads to see Coldplay at the weekend at Wembley. I've not been a massive fan but love their first couple of albums and most of their singles.

Was a pretty incredible gig. They know how to put on a hell of a show and were sounding tremendous. I've seen some reviews of their tour saying its basically "feel good vibes for two hours" which both seems a bit harsh, but also a perfect way to sum it up.

Even little things like how they seem to have perfected use of the LED wristbands which really add a feeling that the whole crowd is moving in time with the music the whole time make a big difference in how it feels to see a band in such a large venue.

Very impressed with how easy it was getting to and from Wembley too.
