Juanita and Dirty Epic though

yeah Jumbo / Juanita / Dirty Epic are great classics for a Drift show. way too many bangers from this year to need to keep leaning on Snake & Nuxx for the encore though!
― insecurity bear (sic), Friday, 22 November 2019 23:35 (four years ago) link
Rez / Cowgirl ending main set, Two Months Off opening encore before, say, Listen To Their No or Big Bear and Border Country is a perfect amount of pandering that still flows

New DRIFT Series 1 – CD/DVD BoxsetDRIFT was released as a sampler and a super deluxe, seven-disc box set that sold out on release.Responding to both demand and many people’s changed circumstances, the band have remodelled the package for a new compact edition that contains all of the original seven CDs and accompanying BluRay along with a perfect bound, 50-page book and a previously unreleased, hour-long recording of Rick Smith’s DRIFT pre-show set recorded live before Underworld’s show at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on November 23rd 2019.

Had to go find that on the Facebook group just now cuz it looks like the store closed message is back up. The writeup also mentioned a new Underworld Bandcamp page. Currently empty. Wonder what they're cooking up. (Also fans of hard, hard takes will enjoy the past couple days of the Facebook group... lol)

Lol yeah - not many fans of Drift actually in that group

Just wild. I'm still beside myself that Drift happened. Single artist "communities" are always brutal I guess.

Full Rick set is now available as part of the original box set's download (it was missing a couple of tracks before today). I guess you have to re-download the entire massive zip file though!

Lolz:
Hyde: Can I say something? I don’t even know what song you’re talking about. Like, you would have to sing them to me and then I go, “Of course! I know every detail of that track.” But “Threat of Rain” now? Don’t know what it is. [Smith plays the track from his phone -ed.]. Oh, I was listening to that last night! I love that one. The way you did that hi-hat thing is amazing. Those reverbs they’re just…it’s so incredible. [back to interviewer] This is a constant problem. I have no idea what anyone’s talking about.
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 17:37 (three years ago) link
Also sounds like Series 2 is a definite go :)
Hyde: One day we’ll be able to encourage [session drummer extraordinaire] Steve Gadd to join the band.

to be fair Hyde is barely on that track

also it kinda speaks to how accomplished these dudes are? like, I remember the band pulled out "Dirty Epic" in like, 2010 or so, and someone noted that Karl was reading the lyrics off a piece of paper because he'd forgotten them! I mean, imagine writing so much great music that you can't even remember how "Dirty Epic" goes
― frogbs, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 17:47 (three years ago) link

ha ha, Karl OTM

relieves me to hear Karl himself has trouble remembering their music from the titles. even for some UW songs I love, it's taken me years to associate the music with the title

Two-part podcast "interview" with all the questions cut out: in part 1, they talk about how Drift came from a complete change in their relationship. For no apparent reason whatsoever, in Australia in 2017, Karl started listening to Rick for the first time ever, and that facilitated this more fluid way of working. (Karl also talks about how validating he found the process of publishing Drift - aside from their output not being mediated through the publicity/licensing machine, they'd also get immediate feedback not just from youtube comments, but also friends dropping a text to comment on the week's release.)
In part 2 they talk in broader terms about the role of the artist in society,their application of this, and not being a band.

the Sydney Opera House youtube channel has been releasing a lot of archive recordings (and new performances to empty rooms) during lockdown: here's a full version of Border Country from a few weeks before its Drift drop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1g_IIXnFsU
(other recent uploads of likely interest include full shows by Four Tet and Amon Tobin's ISAM 3D-mapped set, though the latter won't convey the full molar-shaking feel of being on the hollow wooden floor)

hopefully a teaser for full show releases from the DAT archive, or other selected bangers for the next "in-between" Drift freebies. the video of Rick fiddling with the Arp isn't long enough!

Let me be the first to say this is horrible. I actually have liked a couple Halsey songs, her SNL performance in particular was powerful. This remix is garbage though. Definitely cashing a check here. At least they didn't waste any good ideas on this remix.

― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Thursday, 30 September 2021 20:03 (two years ago) link
Hate the trend for remixes on major labels to be 3 minutes long when you suspect there are normal length versions that remain unreleased as they don’t bring in the quantity of streams
