when?

[big screen satellite]

come on, its been ages...

[crank]

It SURE has. No Store. No Music. No LOVE!

[joethelion]

yea - it's kinda lame

...actually - when you think about it, it might be more than just 'lame' ...it's kinda dumb

like - how many of us would buy all of the streaming/ low bitrate files* if they came up again, but in Flac or at least 320kbps mp3

*I mean stuff like the old Lemonworld outtakes "Quick Bit for the Web" and even the 'newer' ones like "Telematic Peal"

ten or eleven people?

[BrotherLovesDub]

I think they should just hold on to those alternate takes and reissue their catalog in 2cd format. Imagine having Blue Mountain as the bonus disc to Beaucoup Fish, all nicely remastered. Either way, i'm most excited about new stuff. The last batch of new tunes have all been excellent and I expect the next single/album to be really good too.

[mmm skyscraper]

in the words of kevin shields:

soon

[King of Snake]

Let's hope they bring Emerson back. They've been pants ever since he left.

You're just trying to lure me into an epic rant that I will later delete.

[King of Snake]

i would never...

[Dirty0900]

Rick sent me up a double CD of the new album the other day, did I not mention it? Quite good for a concept album on clouds.

We demand proof! You can start by sending me a copy.

[potatobroth]

I sent Yan a 6-pack. What came streaming as a result, was audible bliss.

Sadly you have to have a special machine to decode it as UW are shunning MP3, CD, vinyl and going back to a special method where you need five hamsters to run around in a continual circle in order for the vibes to start flowing out of a giant hamster ball.

[joethelion]

ok - well, I didn't mean "ALL" all of the tracks

but I mean... wouldn't plenty of people at least download a few releases

[Flywaver]

How about those 12''s on iTunes..... :rolleyes:

[ThingInABook]

how about a rerelease of those 12"?

i wouldn't mind a copy of vanilla monkey...

[the mongoose]

Oh give us a radio show or something.......or at least ONE new track. SHIT!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad::mad:


please:)

[Dunwho]

Rick hummed the album over the phone to me last week... it was amazing... really.. especially the sheep sounds and loops of Garth Brooks singing the Mexican national anthem...

.. oh did i not mention this already?

woops

[stimpee]

BSS: you should know better than to set people off like this. I know the store has been down for ages but isnt it just aNt working on it? (not his full time job ya know - unpaid post work thing afaik).

aNt is just a perfectionist ;) it'll be a glassfish java masterpiece just you wait...

[big screen satellite]

i'm not interested in the store... its other stuff

[Flywaver]

Underworld beta testing ...6 minutes ago

[Champiness]

:D

[//\/\/]

i'm taking that as meaning 'playing new tunes at aussie gigs'

[rudydaduck]

Yeah man. WHERE IS THIS new record? Where is any news of it? DANG!

[potatobroth]

i remember reading an article that said, "new album this year." but who knows.

[crank]

the guys are as slow as u2- THAT is saying something.

[luminary]

It seems like this has been almost the longest wait ever for some new UW goodness.

Hopefully it means that work at the Lemon is progressing well and we'll get to see/hear something soon

:)

[undarrenworld]

It seems like this has been almost the longest wait ever for some new UW goodness.

:)


Yeah, I feel like in 2004/05 just before Riverrun...
Its long wait:(


:)

[Dirty0900]

Someone ask Karl next week when he's going in London by the sea.

not sure if i'm going yet....

but if i do i will crash the stage ;)

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

:)

yeah, kinda feel the same. there has definitely been some cool stuff coming out though, but I wish we had studio versions rather than the live/radio broadcast tracks. "Parc" and "Downpipe" are two of my very favorite UW tunes (the latter might not count, but whatever), but IMO there are 5 other tracks I would be just as excited about - YDS, ALAF, Diamond Jigsaw, Between Stars, Strumpet...for sure I thought OBW would have some of this material on it...sucks if low quality recordings are all we have for this fantastic material :(
kind of strange...UW is seriously one of the most prolific groups I can think of...and yet they seem to release only about half of what they make...but this isn't like the Chems or Fatboy or even the Orb...everything they touch really is gold!!!

[chems1919]

I'm praying they release You Do Scribble in some shape or form, whether it be a riverrun or on a new LP. I love all of the new material they've been playing, but YDS is on a whole other level for me.

[Andrea]

Spot-on!
I´m praying for YDS, Born Slippy Jam (MySpace) and some tracks from previous radio shows like Santeago Quatro...love...love...love

[Champiness]

ALAF seems to have been abandoned for the time being in the flurry of (now somewhat old) newness. Though I'm confident that we'll know its fate (and possibly what's happening with all that new material!) when they go back on tour again. For now, though! The anticipation is just too much!

[ThingInABook]

after seeing karl's pic of cigarrettes butts and the 'mayday' message... rick might be working his studio magic over the tracks.

maybe i'm just associating that remix video (loads of these) with the photo. i'm losing my patience at this point.

and what happened to that other knight/ramirez/underworld track? what was d. ramirez talking about? ARRG too many questions. and my time for tonight is up. g'night.

[joethelion]

I really miss "Telematic Peal" myself

I hope it eventually gets released, but I mean... they've not even played that one live!

[big screen satellite]

well afaik, High Contrast has been workin on it....

[rudydaduck]

all i know is the time is NOW for something or someone to let us know anything . . . .

in truth, we all know it's coming and it has been promised to be a waterfall weight of new goodness. nor reason to doubt this at all...

BUT it's the time and the silence that is grinding.

when we hear something we'll all be grab the rapture but for now DAMN. I blame the fact that theres so much crap being sold as something out there. bring the gold to quiet the noise boys. let us have it soon.

[bryantm3]

i can wait. as long as it's better than OWB (their worst, imo) i can wait for it. the shame is that there were so many good tracks floating around the time of that album that didn't make the cut. i was disappointed, especially with 'best mamgu ever'... what a weak closer.

[purlieu]

Conversely, I can't wait for it because of how much I like OWB, my favourite Underworld record. Best Mamgu is probably my second favourite UW track.

Annnnnyway, yes, really hoping for some sort of announcement soon.

[Dirty0900]

Unless they do a Radiohead DIY digital release, I don't think you'll see a physical release until Nov/Dec or early 2011. Most promo stuff gets issued months in advance and I ain't come across any.

[TheBang]

Perhaps. Oblivion with Bells was announced in mid-June and dropped in mid-October.

[potatobroth]

Crocodile (Bang the Poll) was heard well in advance of OWB.

[joethelion]

Wait... do you mean "JAL To Tokyo"? b/c I thought that was "Bang the Poll"

and "Crocodile" was "All These Things"

[Dirty Canuck]

joethelion would be correct.

[holden]

thing is, we got the remix of "JAL to Tokyo" attrributed to Mr/ andMrs. Christmas prior to "Lovely Broken Thing" - and while the original is just fine, i dare say the remix (Justin W?) was more exciting.
That was in 2005. Riverruns finished in 2006 and nothing from them, really, turned up on OWB, 2007.

Meanwhile - i'll be surprised/ shocked if any of the tracks listed above get released. yeah, "globe" and "biro the leggy" stuck around awhile before becoming "holding the moth" and "Beautiful Burnout". But YDS? That's been played live since 2005. ALAF, versions even longer - 2002/3?. That and Telematic peel have already been "released" via UWlive.com. "Bamboo" has had several years' run both live and in studio. i think that Rick and Karl are ultra-creative, and more likely to channel what's immediately turning them on than what they've been putzing with for years. Still, these are all wonderful tracks and would be fantastic on a new studio LP. Nonetheless, i'd love to be surprised the next time around.

[ThingInABook]

what i like from the unreleased tracks is that they feel more electric, more synth-heavy. things like between stars and diamond jigsaw are kind of synthpop mixed with the usual u/w stuff, and probably will be the catchier stuff in the new album (if they appear in the new album). YDS, ALAF or strumpet are 'traditional' u/w (they remind me of second toughest in the infants for some reason) and the release of them depends on what k+r want.

and i'm seeing a drum kit and a bass and i actually don't know what karl or rick want.

I think that rig was from the PureScenius gig, belonging to the band he linked there.

[potatobroth]

crap! JTL, yer exactly right. Totally messup on my part. :)

[the mongoose]

From UWlive.com today:
"Radio on! New music to hit the airwaves! Rick will see the light of day, allowed out've the studio for the first time in months & I'm lovin' everything he's done, excited about you hearing this one.


Yes!:cool:

I'm excited about me hearing it too! :p

[ThingInABook]

I think that rig was from the PureScenius gig, belonging to the band he linked there.

and that clarifies loads of things, thankyou :).

also, today's post. yey.

[unwound floors]

Much with the yay, indeed :)

[Champiness]

So... does this post mean the new Underworld goodness will be previewed on Radio 1 and the likes? Regardless, this is great news! All those loud days in the studio are finally gonna account for something!

[DaddyAdv]

"Scribble is the first track taken from Underworld’s forthcoming sixth studio album which is due at the end of the summer."

[the mongoose]

Today is going to be a great day for sure now!:cool::cool::cool:

[Champiness]

To respond to the thread title:
"Now!"

[purlieu]

This summer, then. Excellent.

[unwound floors]

Not long to go...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dirty0900]

Looks like I was wrong. I'm going to email my editor and request first dibs on any promos and then get banned from talking about it due to tedious rules.
