Ep 2: ATOM is out now. It's 85 minutes long, which I guess makes this their longest album yet
This time there are some pretty extensive notes about the tunes, if you're interested:
https://underworldlive.com/drift/sleeve-notes/
feels a lot more substantial than Ep 1. if they really release 2-3 more things like this it's gonna be a massive year for them.

that is very nice - reminds me a lot of "Sola Sistim" but its less pensive. almost laughed out loud at the Barry White bit, though

looking forward to that Necks jam!
― maffew12, Friday, 29 March 2019 14:24 (five years ago) link
are these the same Necks that will be on the next swans/gira album?
― StanM, Friday, 29 March 2019 15:07 (five years ago) link
yes, they’ve been going for over thirty years as the same trio The Necks: (Tony Buck, Chris Abrahams, Lloyd Swanton). This transcendental improv combo will play basic tracks to my guitar part on 2 songs, and the songs will be further orchestrated and sung to thereafter. Tony will also play various instruments on other songs.

Super-pretty. The piano is gorgeous.

is the "cowgirl" riff in there? kinda feel like i'm hearing the ghost of it throughout this track
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 April 2019 19:43 (five years ago) link
I was gonna say there's a bit of "Rez" in there but that's just their style. I hear it in "Faxed Invitation" too.
― frogbs, Thursday, 4 April 2019 20:02 (five years ago) link
i was actually thinking of "rez"! i make this mistake all of the time bc of the everything, everything version

this would be a nice one to stretch out to 12+ minutes

Is there a longer version of Appleshine? It's getting real nice at the end there.
― lukas, Tuesday, 16 April 2019 19:14 (five years ago) link
"Appleshine Continuum" is sort of a 47 minute version?
― maffew12, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 02:20 (five years ago) link
Oh and... whatever version you have in mind (Youtube weekly release or final "episode" audio release), check the other. Not sure what the difference is with Appleshine specifically, but the video is 7 seconds longer. Custard Speedtalk's video is around 40 seconds longer... someone at borndirty.org was talking about the differences. I dunno. But they're clearly futzing around with a lot of iterations of these tracks
― maffew12, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 02:26 (five years ago) link
"Molehill" is around 90 seconds longer on the release with a nice coda... i like it much better than i did at first.
oh these guys

this week's is 12:15, and tagged as bigroombangersandstadiumtechnoman plus RIYL "Downpipe, Spoonman, Moaner, Threat of Rain, Kittens, Dogman Go Woof" by the band or their people

sounds like something you'd hear on Disc 4 or 5 of that super-deluxe dubnobass set. which is (obviously) a good thing

Finally catching up to the first two of these "EPs" (the second one is 85 minutes long). The first one's pretty great; I'm not a huge Necks fan but they prove to be excellent collaborators.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Thursday, 18 April 2019 22:06 (five years ago) link
Second one is where it's really at though. It's like the Pearl's Girl EP, but with a monster jam at the end of it

these are the two Necks collaborations, taken from their recent EPs which are available to stream etc.
― ufo, Friday, 26 April 2019 12:59 (four years ago) link
So are all the constituent parts of Drift a collaboration with The Necks? Two episodes each with multiple parts? You can't buy a physical copy anywhere (I know I'm old fashioned)?
― Hey Bob (Scik Mouthy), Friday, 26 April 2019 13:00 (four years ago) link
no, just those two tracks are collaborative so far. the EPs are only available on streaming and for digital purchase at the moment.
― ufo, Friday, 26 April 2019 13:03 (four years ago) link

buzz on the fan forum is that this is it for episode 3. No Necks to end this one. "Featuring the violin and saxophone of Georgia Ellery and Lewis Evans of Jockstrap and Black Country, New Road"
The posting for "A Very Silent Way" mentioned that they were only in studio with the Necks for a couple of days. "Karl and I spent two glorious days with The Necks at AIR studios in London exploring long improvisations based on our music for Drift and I had the time of my life with these incredibly talented, beautiful people. This initial release represents just a small part of that body of work." Sounds productive.
Loved ep 3

Drift 3 out now on iTunes and the like. No word on when/if the series will continue, though I imagine it will shortly...they're on a roll
As much as I've enjoyed the vintage techno/banger side of this on stuff like "Threat of Rain" or "Another Silent Way" I've really been digging the tunes where they just go completely outside of Underworld..."Appleshine Continuum" and "Molehill" especially. hoping to hear more stuff like that.
― frogbs, Thursday, 2 May 2019 18:47 (four years ago) link
interesting tidbit herehttps://sonar.es/en/2019/artists/underworld Their latest project, Drift, is a self defined “journey without a fixed destination” consisting of 5 EP’s (and possibly an album) so that's about 2 1/2 hours of material? very nice.― frogbs, Thursday, February 14, 2019 4:45 PM (two months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
