"The track is a live recording of Rick and Karl jamming in the studio earlier this year - it's a version of a track you may already know (" guess ;) ") but a very different take on the original. A unique insight into the goings on at Lemonworld...."

but no link or anything - cheers lads...

[Dirty0900]

Interesting, at a stab I'd imagine it'll be DJ or BS.

[stimpee]

Yannick hinted at a new version of cowgirl but i've yet to see it. check the UWlive 3.0 thread, it may pop up there ;)

at best, it's pissing about. at worst, it's 'i can see something you can't see' gloating. ffs:rolleyes:

[Dirty0900]

Laughing Tortoise?

[potatobroth]

the Underworld FB (yes, I know its Yannick) is so freaking cryptic. I can't imagine anyone that isn't on Dirty understanding some of the inside jokes/comments on there. :P

[//\/\/]

it's more 'antisocial media'. or 'snob media'.

Thanks for pointing that out - awesome jam!

Yeah, talk about hidden!

[potatobroth]

i don't get the point of doing that tho? what good is being cryptic on FB? And its not like its guessable cryptic either.

other than that, sweet!

[Dirty0900]

Meh, we get daily content on UWlive so cryptic updates on FB etc don't bother me. To be fair, I'd like some new surprises for when somethng drops, not info I know from 6 months ago.

Well there are lots of people on FB that aren't on dirty. And yes, I'm on dirty (obviously) but I had absolutely no clue what Yan was talking about with that last post: "The track is a live recording..." -- I searched these forums for 2 days with no resolve. Total waste of time whereas it could have said, "The track playing on Dirty Radio is a live recording..."

Still mystery, but no frustration. Perfect! :)

Well, at the time of the FB post, it wasn't playing on Dirty Radio. It was only playing on Yan's computer. :)

Underworld just posted a bunch of new photos to Facebook. Mostly from about 1997-2005, but there are 3 photos from the Experimental Soundfield in 1992:

I stand corrected. (A somewhat hazy decade, that one:D)

So, I wandered into the wasteland of MySpace the other day. Imagine my surprise when I found this exclusive soundcheck video there:

I like that little Bird 1/Downpipe jam and the timelapse footage.

Reddit is a type of forum where users vote on and discuss content. Not every submission has to be a link, but many are. Any user is capable of making a sub-reddit about a specific topic. There's subs on basically everything you can think of from obscure sports to pictures of infrastructure (http://www.reddit.com/r/infrastructureporn) and shipwrecks.

ok, thanks for the explanation.

Found out today that the lemon interrupt material is on spotify as lemon interrupt with no obvious connection to the underworld material. So for all those hankering for that early mark 1.9 (Or would that be mark 2 beta??) material, it's out there in internet streaming land.

Maybe region-restricted? :confused: In the US searching "lemon interupt" or "lemon interrupt" only yields two tracks (Dirty and Song of Life rmx) from a Renaissance collection.

Looks like Karl's station in the live setup has expanded a bit. Add in the two (slightly) different sets in Japan, plus the surreal carnivals warm-up and things are starting to look a little more off the cuff. *fingers crossed*

The CD-J and guitar are back, I guess? The table placement cuts him off from Rick though.

I had noticed earlier this year that they had replaced the laptops near Rick with some kind of desktop setup.

A little in studio jam. Modular synth and the Maschine.

Looking back at the previous studio shot, the maschine appears to have a spot over by the computers. Hope they announce some live dates so we can see how much of this makes it to stage!

[crank]

Well that sounds a bit more "underworldly"

[TheBang]

I didn't know Rick posted to the Instagram.

[DaddyAdv]

I think it's strictly Karl doing that.

[jetpig]

So who wants to be the creeper to compare hand shots of the two and figure it out?

Anyone?

Anyone at all?

[TheBang]

I think it's strictly Karl doing that.
It's usually Karl. This is the first one I can remember from Rick. Karl signs his with (k). Rick signs his with (r).

[purlieu]

It's a cryptic code, nigh on impossible to crack.

They're up to something. Between this post and the prior one I suspect they're recording a session for radio, but who knows. Any guesses of where they are? Thought maida vale but it looks too roomy for that, maybe abbey road?

Looks like air lyndhurst studios lyndhurst hall an amazing recording space indeed.

Yeah, I saw this too. Can't wait!

I wish they gave us an expanded Everything Everything with the complete individual shows they edited together for that release as I believe it was made up of 3 or 4 performances.

I really hope the Riverrun Series is reissued and not skipped over. Unless it will be a part of Oblivion With Bells reissue, but those tracks feel like their own thing. I have fallen in love with the Riverrun era recently and bummed it is not more easily available.

I still find it sad that all that material from the Saved From The Cutting Floor Soundcloud link was never made available in proper quality. So much good stuff left off from Dubnobasswithmyheadman and the sound quality on Soundcloud is crap. It makes me wonder how much other awesome stuff was left off the other releases.

I want more live shows! I wonder what sorta live recordings they got stored away. I would love to hear anything from the Dubnobasswithmyheadman to Beaucoup Fish era.

[domsgotsideburns]

Karl is apparently making a new film with some assistance from Simon Taylor, who recently directed the videos for Teatime Dub Encounters

also worth noting, studio rehearsals and the writing of new material are happening :D

[holden]

Cool, thanks for making us aware! Hoping new UW album is coming soon. The Iggy collaboration is what it is, and if i ignore the vocals, there are some solid, catchy tracks. But Karl spoke of writing the new record on the road, so here's hoping the wait between records won't be 5+ years again.

[purlieu]

I'm always wary when a band talk about a quick follow-up - Karl was talking about writing during the Barbara tour, which immediately suggested a new album a year or two after. Reminds me of when Liam was talking about a new Prodigy album shortly after AONO saying it will be much, much quicker than the six-odd years that took. It was five years before Invaders came out. Idlewild had one of those "we're on a roll!" announcements straight after their comeback, with a new album due last year. They still haven't finished recording it.

I'm just a jaded cynic who grew up in the 'album every 18 months' era of the '90s. :D

[holden]

Yeah,and for folks who were around in the 60's and 70's, you often got two or more albums a year from bands! Meanwhile, bands like Hybrid take 8 years between records, to the point where you ask, are they still together? What are they up to for so long? Well, life gets in the way, i suppose.

I'm not rushing things, and there has been new material since the World of Underworld announcement, e.g."Teatime Dub Encounters EP", "Brilliant, yes that would be" and "Apple Shine".

I'm gonna pretend this post is a response to me..

[TheBang]

So, the top one is Confusion the Waitress, right?

Bottom two are If Rah and I Exhale.

On the second one, the "Nylon" indication at the end I think indicates the transition from Ova Nova to Nylon Strung?
Edit: Looked up the old mixer strips (https://www.facebook.com/borndirty/photos/a.1090653184330874/1157988397597352/) and the 2nd one is Nylon Strung. Not sure why these are hand-written now when they were printed before.

[jetpig]

Are these old? Current? New? Curious note re printed vs hand written.


Also wonder why so much of Ks lyrics are on Rs tags. Seems odd.

[domsgotsideburns]

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bot1Cs0H2Cp/

this one is exciting in particular; "You & me & nothing is a drag"
these are some of the lyrics to that new acid-inspired track that was mentioned in the Electronic Sound issue and even in one of the Rijksmuseum promos. i might have it saved so i'll dig it up as soon as possible. on the post itself, they might be rehearsing the track for a following gig!

It's so Rick can bring in those elements/trigger that sequence at the right time and/or indicate to Karl when it's time to come in with the next verse.

Underworld posted this today...

https://youtu.be/z_j3fTedFA0

Think they'll post the whole thing?

I hope so! Would buy an extended EE box with songs they played on that tour that didnt make it to the DVD. Maybe Five Points!

[iamneorev]

I hope so! Would buy an extended EE box with songs they played on that tour that didnt make it to the DVD. Maybe Five Points!

Oh man, I'd love an Everything Everything... Well, Everything boxset. Include audio of a few full shows from this tour/era that they used to edit together for the original release. Even a proper higher quality copy of Fuji Rock. It's awesome to have a direct soundboard with no crowd, but the low bitrate really chokes the audio. I love live recordings. Most times, I'm listening to live UW recordings rather than the studio albums.

The EE DVD did have bonus audio. It would've been cool to have their live show/crowd versions.

An extended EE boxset, yes please. That and River Run are my most look forward to possible future releases.

I think River Run should be 3 discs dedicated to each release (the tracks actually split into individual tracks, but still blend together) with bonus tracks and remixes added to each disc along with the Live In Tokyo 2005 set remastered. That would be 6 discs. The Dubnobasswithmyheadman Japan edition reissue bonus disc featured a few tunes from the Tokyo show, May as well give it a proper remaster and put it all together with the River Run series. Though I kinda prefer the Amsterdam and/or Sofia sets. Back In The Fears sounds amazing at the Amsterdam show. I feel River Run deserves its own release, separate from Oblivion With Bells.

An EE could look quite beautiful, especially with a massive book of tour photos from the years with Emerson. I do believe, like their albums, EE deserves a proper reissue.

It'd be cool if Emerson returned on a track or 2 for the next Drift series. I'd love to see the 3 of them together again, even if it's for a one off.
