Basically what I wrote at Neko:

I recorded about fifty minutes of footage (yes, one of those annoying fuckers holding a camera aloft for much of the gig :)) and I think I got all the new tracks. I'll try and upload tomorrow.

Here's my take on the new tracks and mixes, reviewing my footage...

World's On Fire
A good solid banging tune which goes down really well with crowd - becoming more and more recognisable now. A lot of the gig recordings (including my own) don't do the track justice - you need to hear all the bass with it.

Breathe Dubstep
A much more chilled version of the track; more of a head-nodder than a jump-around-like-a-loon style. But still retains the punchy beats.

Omen
At about 130bpm, you can easily tell why this has been selected as the new single. Both Keith and Maxim on vocals - very catchy with vocal lines like "The writing's on the wall, it won't go away".

This went down really well with the crowd and, for me, was up there with personal favourites of the night.

Warrior's Dance
Most have heard this now; very catchy and again, needs to be heard with all the bass and trimmings. It's not a tune that induces the 'pogo' effect like SMBU and the like. It's not as hard as Omen, but it's really funky and shows elements of the old skool vibe more than most of the new stuff we've head. A good tune to dance to.

Run Like The Wolves
This is basically a wall of fucking noise - but good noise. But it shows the depth and variety of the new album with a punk-like edge with the toughened up beats. A lot of good 'drop the bomb' moments.

Invaders Must Die
I'm not the biggest fan of this track but it works okay live. I'm still of the opinion that this and Mescaline should swap places in B-Side status.

Comanche
The intro is a real throw-back to the mid-90's rave scene with the synthy riffs. It's quite minimal and short (at around two and a half minutes) and not hard to see why it hasn't made it to the album. That isn't to say it isn't good, but consider it more of how The Trick is to Breathe. If anything, it sounds more like a track Liam had been buggering around with for a few hours - but it's still pretty darned funky!

I'll be honest, I heard IMD and started getting worried - but after hearing some of the other new tracks my faith is well and truely restored.

I'll try and get clips up soon.

Yeah back when the Their Law 2 disc came out and the clerk asked if it had all the best b-sides on the 2nd disc I told him it was missing that, Scienide, and Rat Poison.

I must admit to getting slightly smashed last night. I tried filming the gig from front but after my phone fell i thought fuck it, just enjoy it. And I'm glad I did. Comanche is bangin. I absolutely love it. I really wish this would have been the free download.

IMD sounds incredible live too, managed to meet a couple of bkers

Jimbq and jilted and his crew. top guys.

There were a few asses there, (hope I wasn't one of them)
I really hate some people at the front complaining , whinging when they're being pushed around WTF! Go upsatirs or someting. My missus actually had the sense after 10 minutes in to go to the side of the stage, where she actually had keith n maxim up in her face :lol:

It was a truly great set, and I can't stop raving about Comanche. If this is on the lost beats ep then the album tracks should do some serious damage.

My ears are still humming, just sheffield & Brixton to go. Just hope I don't go deaf :-D

And got to meet Keith after the show. Cool as fuck!
