Nice, but I like the original better, that is to say the version with the extra drums bit they used in some of their mixes like Confront Your Demons.

A good few months before they released it, maybe more , before Galvanize came out, it was a slightly lighter version but definitely was that. it used to come on before they went for ad breaks and did a little round up
I cant find any details of when but there was this:

On a cheerier note, its on my funeral shortlist (yes I do have one of those). Anyway, wondered what everyone else thought of this, am thinking this one might divide opinion, i think it represents a shift in their stuff , its a bit more like the later albums than the earlier stuff

The unofficial story behind a classic track:
When it comes to beats, these boys know how to work it out. In their wild years the guys decided to do a track with only a broad palette of different beats and breaks instead of sticking with "just" one or two insane beats. I can Imagine Tom saying to Ed: "hey I've got this beat, and another one, and another one" tom: "lets put them right after each-other all in one track!" Because they felt the had to satisfy the manager or whatever they added some melody halfway (which they keep muting whenever possible, this is about the beats). The whole track was recorded in one take at 4 a.m. in their studio: tom kept changing drum patterns at ludicrous speed on his drumcomputer while ed had to mute-unmute the bass, distorted synth and the melodic synth, often at the same ludicrous speed. 4 intense minutes and 35 seconds later they high fived because they got it on tape and it sounded awesome.
And that, boys and girls, is how the brothers invented Morning Lemon.

I would have kept Pioneer Skies on the tape rather than Test because its just a better track. The Test doesn't really do anything for me, same with another album closer; wonders of the deep. They're meh.
Pioneer Skies is like a train moving through a dark tunnel slowly. Slowly and Slowly it picks up speed and in the end passes the tunnel and into the light where it just explodes with beautiful colors of rainbow everywhere in the skies. /emo
In a way this track does represent a shift in Tom and Ed's musical sensibilities but same thing could be said about the entire Come With Us era. This was a transition album to the masterpiece Push the button. A b-side album to Surrender if you will. Just like I consider We are the night a transition album to the main event,Further.

Well, apart from that, Pioneer Skies is a great track and good segue to the Test. When I listened to it the first time, though, I could have sworn that I had heard that melody somewhere before but couldn't pin it down to this day what song it reminded me of.
Well, as for Come With Us, I also think this might be some sort of a "transitioner". I didn't really like it upon my very first listen (you know, big beat pighead at that time!) but it grew fast on me and now I'm considering it a marvellous album, one that has a musically compelling nature in its entirety.
Besides the Test, I came to adore My Elastic Eye over the years. Even though it has a very "high-end"/treble-heavy sort of feel to it, it blows me away every time I listen to it.

Chems should take more New Order songs and rework them like Blue Monday and Bizarre love Triangle. Like Out of control is completely New Order inspired so something like that could be mixed into Blue Monday. So it'll be a big megamix of BlueMonday/Out of Control/"Iwanna get high till the day I die" vocal track/Setting sun. Can you imagine? I can already hear it in my head how amazing that will sound.

That sounds great, but I'm kind of tired of Out of Control in their sets, to be honest though. I'd love to see/hear other rather unplayed songs to arise for a change.
