Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013

[Dirty Saint]

A flurry of activity from Underworld;
Karl…
April 2013 will see the release of Karl Hyde’s debut solo LP, Edgeland. It features nine tracks that were recorded over a year in London with multi-instrumentalist and producer Leo Abrahams (whom Karl met whilst collaborating with Brian Eno on Pure Scenius). Edgeland is a graceful and meditative collection that explores the limitless possibilities of what late film director Anthony Minghella christened ‘esoteric Underworld’ – something that’s existed on record since Dubnobasswithmyheadman.
Edgeland is released in Japan on April 10th and across the rest of the world on April 22nd on deluxe CD/DVD, standard CD, download and 12" vinyl. It is also available for physical pre-order in the underworldlive shop. (http://t.opsp.in/j0fbs) The first 150 pre-orders from underworldlive (across all physical formats) will each receive a unique, signed and numbered photograph taken by Karl documenting the journeys through the edgelands that inspired the album. Each physical format purchase will also receive a digital version of the album in their inbox on the day of release (we of course aim to have pre-ordered physical stock with you on or very close to that date).
You can hear the first taster from Edgeland - 'Cut Clouds' and for a limited time only download the track for free here (http://t.opsp.in/r01j2)

Karl is currently rehearsing a new band in preparation for a series of live shows from the Spring onwards, the first of which is SonarSound in Tokyo on the 7th April 2013. More to be announced soon.

Rick…

As you may have read or heard on the world-wide-grapevine, Rick rolled straight out of his music directorial role on the London 2012 Opening Ceremony and into writing and recording the score for Danny Boyle’s new movie Trance. Staring James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel and Rosario Dawson, the film is due for release on March 27th 2013 in the UK.

You can check out the film’s trailer here

[potatobroth]

Wonder what this means for Underworld as a duo? Just spending some time on other projects or will this be the focus?

[Dirty0900]

Pre ordered, wonder if I'll get a photp

[Lx_Nen]

Who is Leo Abrahams?

The free download of Cut Clouds appears in my iTunes as "Cut Clouds" by Leo Abrahams, album artist Karl Hyde. I've preordered too, 150 isn't a lot though!

[undarrenworld]

Pre ordered too:)

Leo Abrahams is a great guitarist and collaborator of Brian Eno, and its known that he met Karl hyde during Pure Scenius project in 2009. Which was fantastic...

[potatobroth]

Pre-ordered. Have no clue what number I am or if I even made the cut.

[jetpig]

two copies of the cd/dvd preordered. It'd be funny if one was 150 and one was 151...

edit: One of the images on the homepage is now a link to the edgeland page. Any wild guesses on what any of the last 4 images could end up linking to? Pipe dream: Archive of all THEIR show recordings =D

[bas_I_am]

Who is Leo Abrahams?


http://www.leoabrahams.com/

[Dirty0900]

Am I being thick about not seeing a link to buying on vinyl?

[Dirty0900]

Track listing. Sounds typical of Karl's musings:

'The Night Slips Us Smiling Underneath It's Dress'
'Your Perfume Was The Best Thing'
'Angel Café'
'Cut Clouds'
'The Boy With The Jigsaw Puzzle Fingers'
'Slummin' It For The Weekend'
'Shoulda Been A Painter'
'Shadow Boy'
'Sleepless'

[Sappys Curry]

So how do we find out whether we are one of the first 150 preorders? I just preordered. I preordered as soon as I found out about it. :D

[the mongoose]

So how do we find out whether we are one of the first 150 preorders? I just preordered. I preordered as soon as I found out about it. :D

Yeah, good question...wondering the same thing. :):(

Cut Clouds is growing on me big time, very somber.:cool:

[whatmakesustick]

From the Sonar Sound website "2013 see's Karl Hyde, together with a group of hand picked musicians, embark on a series of solo shows to perform some of his new songs as well as rediscovered and reworked gems from the Underworld vaults. For a brief taste of what to expect."

I am surprised by the 'reworked gems' bit at the end. It looked to me like every effort had been made to make this project nothing to do with 'classic' Underworld (i.e. techno version) as we know it. My guess is that the reworked gems will be done in an Edgeland way and not a 'classic' Underworld way....

[ndrwrld]

let me know when Karl allows Rick and Darren to play with him again with the toys.

[jetpig]

Should be interesting to see what old material they play in japan. tongue? dirty epic? older stuff even? Also They have 'Underworld' dates scheduled for mexico. What they will do with underworld after karl's side stuff could be interesting as well.

[crank]

Pre-Ordered the record, but Didn't get a link to download anything- Anyone know if it's still out there and I just missed it?

[TheBang]

You get the download link on the release date.

[crank]

No-I mean for the free track- cloud cuts

[TheBang]

It was only available for 48 hours, and was independent of the album pre-order.

[crank]

well that sucks. anyone want to (ahem) private message me?

[gcoleman99]

OOO, me too, me too (incidently, I pre-ordered at about 2am this morn, after my extremely extended trip back to LA...)

[TheBang]

New Perou photo:

Looks like Karl did a photo shoot on Jan. 25.

[cdave2]

Just had another listen to "Cut Clouds." I wasn't in the mood for it at first but this time it really hit me. Sneaky little devil. Really looking forward to the album now.

[darkvoice]

I've got 2 tickets for his solo live show in Amsterdam. Special small venue (church...)
Anyone going?

[TheBang]

The pre-order for the Vinyl is up on the Shop now.

[Dirty0900]

Getting a promo at some point. No idea how soon but will report if allowed.

[BrotherLovesDub]

Pre ordered but I can't wait for this to leak. Gonna buy the damn vinyl version too. This one should be a nice one for sunday mornings. I know promos are out there and from what i've been told, it's a great album.

[jetpig]

The set sounds great, I had no idea that playing the new album
would feel this good & explorations into cherished U/W
classics reveal a whole other point of view that makes
me want to revisit the entire U/W catalogue for live.
This has turned into a richly rewarding journey, will
anyone come to see us? – I hope so, because I’m excited
about sharing these sounds with everyone – please come.

I'm excited to hear bootlegs of a concert, hope they happen. I'm eagerly awaiting this album. Not chomping at the bit, but just low level anticipation and excitement. I just got this feeling it'll be a good experience, and a catalyst on to more great things.

Yesterday we filmed & multi-tracked the rehearsal late into the evening, something to show you in time.

[jetpig]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvDpOKJokeQ&feature=youtu.be

This was posted to their facebook today. Perhaps the tidbit we were to be shown? I hope not only because that means there'll be more... This is by far my favorite of what we've heard so far.

[crank]

reminds me of early freur or early underworld.

[lemonjelly]

Q review the album in Mays edition & give it 4 stars. There's also a Q&A session with Karl, where he clearly talks fondly of UW stuff, including hints at future work. People were worried IIRC when the solo album was announced. From reading the interview, UW ain't finished.

The Trance OST also get 4 stars btw...

[TheBang]

"The deluxe edition also contains the hour-long original film Edgeland, a conceptual piece shot in and around London’s ‘Edglelands’ by Karl Hyde and acclaimed director Kieran Evans."

[the mongoose]

Sweet about the film news! Did we ever find out how we'll know if we were the first to order and get the limited photos, etc??:confused:

[Spooky Shoes]

Did we ever find out how we'll know if we were the first to order and get the limited photos, etc??:confused:

I ordered within the first hour after getting the email order no ends with 038

Just ordered the ltd vinyl now too.

[TheBang]

The order numbers appear to be unique across the entire Topspin platform, which does ordering for hundreds of artists, so unfortunately, the order number gives no indication.

[TheBang]

Limited Edition Vinyl release for Edgeland.

The limited edition part is a signed and numbered 12"x12" lithograph of the album sleeve, limited to 200 pieces.

[BrotherLovesDub]

edit: didn't realize i could cancel my order

[Mike]

Can't you cancel your order? If you haven't received it yet, you should be able to cancel and get a full refund. Well thats how The Distance Selling Regulations work here in the UK anyway.

[BrotherLovesDub]

Good point, i'll see if i can cancel the CD/DVD set. I've never even watched the Barking DVD .

[richardacre]

Ordered CD/DVD within 2 minutes of getting the email! Outlands looks really interesting. FWIW I love the Barking DVD

[TheBang]

Just to clarify further on your rant, BLD, the vinyl WAS announced at the same as the rest of the formats. If you look at the first post in this thread it says "deluxe CD/DVD, standard CD, download and 12" vinyl".

The link that I posted today is just for the Limited Edition vinyl (i.e. the regular vinyl plus the numbered, signed print). The regular vinyl has been available for ordering for months.

[BrotherLovesDub]

I'm pretty sure the vinyl wasn't available to pre-order initially. Even so, it's still frustrating to have different offers dripped out here and there. Nobody's forcing me to order anything though, so this is nobody's fault/problem but my own.

No, only the Beat Records releases in Japan have them. Both the regular edition and the deluxe edition. And the corresponding editions on, say, iTunes Japan.

[TheBang]

Here is one of the Japan exclusive tracks:

[potatobroth]

where's the New Jersey exclusive track?! that sounds like one of the better ones ive heard so far! #stupidjapan

[Lx_Nen]

Just had a mail saying my Vinyl has been shipped, which is strangely early. Has everyone had one, or are Universal seeing if I leak it? (I love buying music and using my @pirateparty.org.uk address, it really freaks some record companies and shops out!).

By the way, it looks like the 200 limited vinyl copies with signed prints haven't sold out yet.

I agree that these Japanese exclusive tracks are beyond annoying. So far I've spent £46 on this album, and I'm sure that will end up going well past £50 by the time I've got the record store day release, and I've still been short-changed by 4 tracks, with practically no way of even paying to get them unless I jump through hoops, learn a foreign language and pay a random amount in import duty to import an album back to the country it originally came from.

[TheBang]

Yeah, I got my shipping notice the other day for the Universal limited vinyl too.

Just wait a while. The japanese exclusives aren't limited edition. Eventually a japanese seller on amazon will have them for not atrociously expensive. I managed to nab the live at the roundhouse (itunes) disc that way. I do the same thing with PC games now. Wait a year and get the game of the year edition on steam for 10 bucks with all the downloadable extras included. Now the record store day release and the limited signed copies are another story entirely...

[Spooky Shoes]

Same old, same old.

Fuck it, I'll just download the Japanese tracks this time.

[potatobroth]

after the hell i went thru to get the JAL to Tokyo Japanese release I vowed to bend my position on pirating. I will download exclusive tracks rather than pay for them. I understand things cost more in Japan and that's why they get them. I do. But on the flipside the cost for us to get those same tracks is quadruple. Never again.

[philth]

The album is out now in Ireland on iTunes. I'm not sure I can bring myself to buy it a third time though after ordering the deluxe CD for the DVD and the vinyl with signed print, but neither of those have arrived yet!

[happiness stan]

The album is out now in Ireland on iTunes.

When are we likely to get this?
Do we get download links too?

only really liked the utah saints kate bush sample. 808:90 sounded f**king ace this morning.
sounds like nobody has their stuff yet then, oh well
wouldn't a download be a good idea though, I know I'll see it in my record shop on the way home and be annoyed about getting it later by pre-ordering.
small rant over, back to bonobo

[ThingInABook]

uh, guys, my order was shipped today. yes, edgeland dlx with deeveedee (even if there was a delay with them) was shipped today from underworldlive :O

THIS IS ODD WHAT IS GOING ON.

edit: there's no download link. yet D''''':

From your Order Receipt:

Preorder download will become available on street date (2013-04-22 12:05 AM SST).

[Spooky Shoes]

From your Order Receipt:

I seem to remember something about digitals being available on the day of release.

Anyway today's email had this..

Edgeland (Deluxe CD/DVD): Karl Hyde - Edgeland, PRE-ORDER for 22nd April 2013. The CD includes the 9 track album & bonus tracks. The DVD has approx. 50 mins video/film footage.
Bonus tracks! (Does that actually mean anything?)

[TheBang]

I seem to remember something about digitals being available on the day of release.
Yeah, is there something unclear about what I posted? The digital downloads you get from pre-order will be available on 4/22, the day of release.


Bonus tracks! (Does that actually mean anything?)
It means that the Deluxe Edition has a couple extra bonus tracks that the regular edition of the album doesn't have.

[kontakt1968]

Got my deluxe cd/dvd in the post today. It has 4 bonus tracks im putting in the cd player now....

[Spooky Shoes]

Yeah, is there something unclear about what I posted?

Didn't realise idle banter was frowned upon.

Deluxe Edition has arrived with photo #80 http://karlhyde.com/edgelandjourney/

Lithograph has arrived from Universal but not with the vinyl..

[Lx_Nen]

Deluxe with photo no. 141 here :-)

I was out when something arrived from Universal... bloody record store day stopping me getting my records!!

[woofmute]

Deluxe arrived, and my litho print (#81), still no vinyl however.

[Mike]

Pretty damn annoyed I didn't get a photo, considering I ordered minutes after getting the email. Could have saved myself a bunch of money and got it on Amazon.

[Spooky Shoes]

Deluxe arrived, and my litho print (#81), still no vinyl however.

Not sure why they shipped them separately.

Pretty damn annoyed I didn't get a photo, considering I ordered minutes after getting the email. Could have saved myself a bunch of money and got it on Amazon.

Bummer, I thought it would be close but had no idea if I was in early enough.

[whatmakesustick]

Frustrating day here....no print with the cd and tried 3 stores for the fingers 7" and none if them had it.

Still, looking forward to popping the cd in :-)

[TheBang]

Didn't realise idle banter was frowned upon.
No, just didn't recognize it as such.

[Dirty0900]

No photo for me, though a promo postcard came with it.

[Cadevil]

Anyone been able to download from topspin yet? Haven't had any luck myself.

[TheBang]

The Order Receipt says:

"Preorder download will become available on street date (2013-04-22 12:05 AM SST)"

SST is Samoa Standard Time, or UTC -11. The last time zone in the world. So midnight there is about 4 hours from now.

[happiness stan]

Anyone been able to download from topspin yet? Haven't had any luck myself.

Only got one track, CutClouds and have now exceeded the download limit.
:mad:

[Chippy]

Got my download in one whole zip file. Despite buying the CD&DVD Deluxe pack, the download is only the basic 9 track album. Looks like I'll have to wait for the postman to hear the bonus tracks.

[philth]

I got the same thing - just the 9 tracks in the download. My CD and vinyl arrived this morning though so I'm not too put out.

I ended up with print #47 with the CD/DVD:

My 'live receipt' continues to just have a link to download a single mp3, Edgeland, and nothing else.. but they keep on sending me 'order updated' emails regardless. I haven't been bothered to contact their support yet.

Well so far so good. Really like it. Am on my fourth listen and think it's top.

same thing for me. one mp3 is available to download called "edgeland"

I opened a ticket. let the games begin.

seems like whatever i order thru here takes a lot of effort.

opened a ticket and got a response back almost immediately with a link to download the album. top shelf customer support.

Totally agree.. They just sorted it out for me in the space of around 30 mins. Good stuff.

[philth]

the two japanese bonus tracks are amazing especially Cascading Light. very different and the vocal manipulation is fantastic. the opening reminded me much of Faxed Invitation. the remixes of Cut Clouds and Slummin' are pretty good as well.

Maybe a silly question but how did you get the Japanese bonus tracks?

[crank]

So i'm confused. I ordered the deluxe version of the record and my download only came with 9 tracks. Is this wrong? Should i have had twelve like on itunes?

[Bargo]

Maybe a silly question but how did you get the Japanese bonus tracks?

You can buy them individually on Japan's itunes store. The catch is, that means setting up a Japan itunes store account, and if your credit card was not issued in Japan you may have problems actually purchasing anything. There's workarounds for this though, you can buy gift cards from places like JBox (http://www.jbox.com/product/ITUNESCARD) to add store credit to your account, which will then let you buy music without needing a credit card to be registered.

[TheBang]

So i'm confused. I ordered the deluxe version of the record and my download only came with 9 tracks. Is this wrong? Should i have had twelve like on itunes?
Apparently, the preorder download bonus is just the standard edition. You'll just have to wait for your physical product for the deluxe content.

[ultradave]

...you can buy gift cards from places like JBox (http://www.jbox.com/product/ITUNESCARD) to add store credit to your account, which will then let you buy music without needing a credit card to be registered.

This works. I've done it before w/the UW material from the RiverRun period that was only available on the iTunes Japan store at the time. :D

[happiness stan]

Hurray, got my disc and # 039 print.
Very happy.

[potatobroth]

Apparently, the preorder download bonus is just the standard edition. You'll just have to wait for your physical product for the deluxe content.

ah ok. so thats how peeps are hearing.

that jbox stuff sucks. I did that and paid an arm-and-a-leg for the riverrun stuff. and now my iTunes won't let me play those songs.

...now my iTunes won't let me play those songs.

PB - Check your PM... you should be able to play these tracks as long as you have the iTunes account active (just an e-mail and username). I do know that the era was one of DRM on iTunes purchases before which required a log-in w/the correct iTunes account to play certain tracks... but entering your Japan account info should correct that.

Does anyone know if the Japan store has gone iTunes Plus yet? I refuse to buy 128kbps audio files! :mad:

well shit. i didnt get a photo. :(
ordered the minute they went up too.

Yes, iTunes is "Plus" worldwide. There was a period where you could upgrade your DRM tracks to Plus for 30% of the original cost, but that program is now over. You'd have to rebuy it if you wanted the DRM-free 256 Kbps files.

Weren't the first 200 LPs supposed to include something? I can't imagine I didn't get in in the first 200. Can people who did receive the extra with the vinyl post what time their order receipt has listed? I'd love to collect time ordered vs. print received.

The first 200 vinyls ordered from Universal Records here:

http://store.universal-music.co.uk/restofworld/dance+electronic/uvinyl-karl-hyde-edgeland-vinyl-2013/invt/0602537298327/

contained signed lithos. I believe the lithos shipped separately from the vinyl. If you ordered the vinyl anywhere else, it did not include this limited edition litho.

Didn't get a print- Love the extra track: Final Ray of the Sun- seriously great.

[BrotherLovesDub]

Didn't realize the litho shipped separately. Got my print today as well as the Cd/DVD. Print number 13/200.

Didn't get a photo (just a promo postcard) and I have no way of getting the Jap bonus tracks (which is just total SHIT anyway that a "Deluxe" edition isn't totally comprehensive). I'm never ordering anything from UW store just for an exclusive bonus that for months we all didn't know if we were "in" or missed the boat. Would've cancelled in a heartbeat had I known all of the above. :mad:

The album has its moments but overall it is a mess.

VERY pissed and disappointed about the exclusive stuff that I was left out on. Could use a PM of the Jap tracks if they are worth a listen.... :( :(

This is one of them, Out Of Darkness...

Do you like it better?

[potatobroth]

now thats its been a few days and half-a-dozen full listens, i can say with confidence that this is a wonderful album. I have the deluxe and i tracked down the japanese extras. Its a shame that these 4 songs won't be heard by all because they are just fantastic.

This album fills the perfect hole in my listening archive. They all have that 8-ball feel - the mellow yet poppy(?) sound.

[ThingInABook]

not that i've recieved my order yet, even if i ordered the 24th of january, my hopes of getting a photo are gone... but what the hell, i'm a good loser, specially after listening many times to such a pretty album like edgeland. the first time i enjoyed the first tracks but somewhat hated the last three, i found them to be a little over the top and somewhat cheesy. but they made a lot of sense after some listens. now i like them a lot.

even i found the best position to listen the whole thing - bored at work, waiting for the project to arrive, staring at the window, looking the people/vehicles pass by. delicious album is delicious.

i want my record to arrive. seriously. i want my neighbors to hear what i'm blasting.

[the mongoose]

Now that I've had a chance to settle down from all of the fucking over I received.... it is a good album and is growing on me, especially with the two added Jap tracks. ;)

[jetpig]

Finally received yesterday (wasn't shipped to my house). No litho in either of the two copies ordered, bummer but such is life.

[ultradave]

wasn't aware of any litho's... but I only ordered the CD. I kind of wish I would have ordered the vinyl now... but no complaints. only received a slightly bended post card... I think i'll send it to Karl.. :D

love the LP. haven't had a chance to watch the video though... LOVE the Japanese only tracks.. especially Cascading Light. TG for the Internet!!! :cool:

Listening to Shadow Boy right now... this track is just ridiculously brilliant!
The piano note at the end of the track just tops it off!!

Bravo Mr. Hyde. Job well done on a fantastic solo release. Hoping you'll make your way out here to the West Coast of the US. Would love to hear these tracks live.

Time to scour YouTube again to satisfy my cravings... :cool:

This cut is amazing. I like it so much better than "Jigsaw Puzzle."

I think I actually prefer the score for The Outer Edges to the songs on Edgeland. I suppose the score is more Underworldy. I find myself not listening to any of the Edgeland tracks on their own, but I'll put on the record when I want a consistent tone to accompany what I'm doing or thinking. In that way it's a real proper album; Karl identified a sound and built a collection around it. But I wish I could listen to the isolated film score too.

[TheBang]

I haven't looked at the movie yet. What is the score like? Is it basically an instrumental Edgeland?

[ThingInABook]

finally my record arrived yesterday. and it had a pic. which was no. 1

*dies*

*jaw drops* That's fantastic!

I'm saving my first listen for when I actually have time to focus on the album. Going on a family road trip soon and hope to give it a proper airing then...it's been a while since I've had a car and I miss highway listening! (Yes, I once received a speeding ticket for going over 100 mph to "Pearl's Girl.")

[ThingInABook]

here are some pics of numero uno:

compared to the journey pic in the site, mine is significantly darker.

Yeah, with some of the percussive flourishes stripped out, making it sound more like some of the soft Underworld jams they'd sprinkle throughout the radio broadcasts.
