Having been hearing these songs live now for what seems like an eternity, reviewing a 'new' !Forward Russia! single is like telling your girlfriend she looks great in that dress you bought her five years ago, just before her graduating ceremony. In other words, it's all a bit deja vu, and you know what they say: familiarity breeds contempt.
Thankfully there are exceptions to every rule, and although this single may as well be the nineteenth release off their Give Me A Wall long player, rather than make you think "Oh no, not another one!" it actually reinforces the point of how uniquely special this band really are.
Top marks, too, for the additional remixes - rather than regurgigating the original song, each takes it in a whole new direction instead. Worthy of particular note is 65daysofstatic's mash-up of 'Eleven', which sounds like gabba techno for the musically dyslexic.
Niice.
haha
you made the same 'nineteenth release off Give me a well' joke as the NME
*wall
obviously
good song
but for some reason they refuse to play it live
i always assumed
it was due to techincal retrictions with all the electronic side
theyve just started to do it live actually
they do acoustic versions and i think theyve played full band one or two times, and are slowly moving it into their set.
this is one of my
fave songs on the album, but as a single i get the impression its not great as a stand alone.
no
only acoustic versions so far sadly
i love this track
i think its immense, certainly doesnt sound anything like the rest of give me a wall
they aint played it live except acoustically a couple of times live and during in-stores
they dont play the electric version purely due to technological restrictions
i love this band ... cs009d4735
yah
if,r! rule
nineteen in february
rumour is that the band will be playing - or at least will be able to play - 'nineteen' on their Feb/March tour next year. Excitement awaits.
The reason why they can't play it at the moment is indeed technological. The actual events behind that reason make you slap your hand across your forehead.
Im sure they'll explain one day...
'uniquely special'?
make up your mind, pick one or the other.
the
65daysofstatic Rmx is so good!
