Could I Have Some Mash To Go With This Banger, Please?

Earlier this month Underworld released a new track, And The Colour Red, one of four new songs that they debuted at The Marble Factory in Bristol on 19th March 2023. An edit/official video was released just over a week ago.
 
It's a deceptively simple tune, menacing beat, deep bass and minimal vocals from Karl Hyde. Like the shorter edit and unusually for an Underworld track, the longer version also fades out at the end.

The version that was premiered at the Bristol gig on 19th March - a relatively intimate (1600 capacity) warm up for their show at the Royal Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer Trust the following night - plays out for an identical duration (5:42) with a rather more sudden fade out/stop. One of those 'wish I was there' moments.

With thanks to @RichardSmith_ZA, whose comment/reaction to the official video on YouTube inspired today's post title.
