Re: unkle - war stories

Giving it a 2nd spin, liking it more this time around, surely it will take time as the others did...:D

Re: unkle - war stories

I liked it by the 1st listening as well and it is still growing on me. Also a good album to play to make my non EDM music listening mates stop complaining because it is "Techno". :Bullshit:

Re: unkle - war stories

It seems alot more vocal than never never land. I do like it but would lbe interested to see if a remix album comes out. Thought self-defense was awesome.

Re: unkle - war stories

burn my shadow is awesome, and the remix that sasha & digweed played on that boneroo set is tops

Re: unkle - war stories

listened to it one time through and listened also to the 4 track sampler that came out just before it.

good stuff. say what you will about their/lavelle's djing, they are still making some good music - and ill admit i was a bit hesitant about this one at first.

#889810Post 8 of 43

Re: unkle - war stories

i'll be the first one to slam lavelle's dj'ing attempts, but i will also be the first to praise his studio efforts as a producer. i love this album. 'burn my shadow' takes the cake for me, but overall i give this one 4 out of 5 jibs! :lol:

Hernan played that one last week over here, 2nd or 3rd track, people loved it.

I have all UNKLE albums and this one is clearly my favourite.

#894941Post 21 of 43

Re: unkle - war stories

One thing that?s defintely very interesting about this album is the "desert rock" influence present almost everywhere, which obvisouly has a lot to do with the help of Chris Goss on production, a guy who worked with awesome bands like Kyuss, Masters Of Reality and Queens Of The Stone Age...:twisted:

Re: unkle - war stories

[QUOTE]Following a successful summer run of high-profile shows overseas including headlining the mainstage at Benicassim in Spain after Muse and the Glade Festival in Reading, U.K., UNKLE has announced it will come to North America this October for a short run of tour dates. Spearheaded by frontman James Lavelle, UNKLE for the first time ever will make its appearance as a live band. Utilizing guitars, bass, drums and synths set against a backdrop of intricate lights and AV screens for a one-of-a-kind audiovisual experience, UNKLE will perform material from their new album War Stories, as well as selections from the two previous UNKLE releases Psyence Fiction and Never, Never, Land. [/QUOTE]

Great.....James Levelle on stage with a band. Anyone have any reviews of prior dates?

Good Man! It get's expensive especially if you miss out on something and then you have to pay someone 2 to 3 times what you would have paid.

This is exactly what I mean. I slept on getting this... Now I want the exclusive PRE Order CD and I'll probably pay a lot for it later down the line. The 1000% Blue Kubrick took me 3 years to find. Hopefully I'll track one of those CDs in less than 3 years. :D

Oh well...
