i shall have to listen again because i didn't really notice that with his stuff. it still irks me a bit that a 14 minute long track can't be a 7 minute long track in this case - we're talking minimal dance music in spite of whatever number of subtle nuances lurk deep within the track.

The tracks on The Present Lover are much shorter than those on Vocalcity - mostly between about five and nine minutes?
And the really long tracks on Vocalcity really *do* change quite substantially over the course of their length. Even something ultra-minimal like "The Right Wing" has all sorts of stuff going on. Now I couldn't imagine them being any shorter.

I guess you make me warmwhen you do the harm,making everybody calm,getting creative with your charm.I'm trying to be all yours;although I ain't answering your calls.Don't say it's false;I'm only following my thoughts.
Baby it's ok, we'll make it better. Baby, I, I'll survive, without these women in my life.

The Present Lover seems to do this to people, doesn't it? You either find it completely flat and hookless or...well, the best thing ever.

Vintage Tim Finney here :)
i sing the lyrics slightly different to how Michael transcribed them there and i'm not entirely sure that he's right and i'm wrong. ha! did you just transcribe them from a close listen, Michael?
also what's the muffled movie dialogue at the beginning of the track from? i have an idea it might be from Hal Hartley's "Trust" and might possibly be the same excerpt Pilote used on his fantastic track "The Dialogue".

"Baby, I, I'll survive, without these women in my life."
to be:
"Baby, I, I'll survive, without THIS RHYTHM in my life."
without this rhythm, rh-rh-rhythm, r-r-r-rhythm, etc.
so maybe it originally is rhythm? I can't tell for sure.

"Making everybody come / Getting creative with your tongue" makes the song sound so much more lustful!

Maybe in "The Present Lover" the guy was originally talking about being the "Most Momus"???

This song is not depressing it's beautiful. The most depressing song is whatever the last Coldplay single was and it gets more depressing each time a new one comes out.

Easy target but it does make me feel miserable. fortunately noone gave a shit about their last single.
