Background
During the Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned tour, the band debuted two new songs, "Warning" and "Dead Ken Beats"; the former features Keith Flint on vocals and consists of heavy bass lines and guitar riffs, while the latter includes a sample of the Dead Kennedys' song "California Über Alles", and vocals by Maxim. At the Sheffield and Birmingham gigs (16 May and 17 May 2008 respectively), the bands played a new version of "Dead Ken Beats", while debuting "World's on Fire", "Warrior's Dance", which became a single from the forthcoming album, and "Unstoppable". At the Gatecrasher festival on 25 May 2008, the band performed an outtake named "Mescaline".
The band played another new track during the Their Law tour. The song, which was printed on a setlist as "Heatwave", is thought to have been renamed "Heatwave Hurricane", due to Liam Howlett listing it among his favourite songs in a recent interview. It has been described as "something like a cross between 'Hotride' (live version) and the 'Firestarter' remix". A short clip can be seen on YouTube, revealing that the song includes a sample of "I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time" by The Third Bardo, a song which is also featured on Howlett's Back to Mine compilation.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
