haha...i have it now thanks...

bought and being shipped... lets see how bad / good it is

[stimpee]

The real question is: Does the RR promo have Big Sister at some bit rate higher than 160 kbps?As its an mp3 cd its probably the same.

[mark3]

The Riverrun Series - MP3 CD - which ended up only as £9, and appears, despite the scepticism of some people, to be pretty genuine, with a full printed CD , rather than hand written - so i am certain its official (btw - RRP 3 is encoded at 160kbps on this)

The fact that it's encoded at 160kbps makes me think :rolleyes: , but if you say it's genuine I believe you. Could you post a pic of the cd?
To mmm skyscraper; the Stiti shirt is for sale on ebay uk.

[TheBang]

The fact that it's encoded at 160kbps makes me think :rolleyes: , but if you say it's genuine I believe you. Could you post a pic of the cd?
Is it 160 Kbps, and also 48.0 KHz? Cause then it would look like the download for the first day, before it was corrected. I would like to see a pic too...

Ooh, here's another good question too. What's the creation date and time on each MP3 file?

[big screen satellite]

all of the files were created on 15/05/06


so well, whatever i think its genuine...

i'm glad i have it - its a unique promo that basically no one else has

if loads turn up on ebay then well, who cares it only cost me £9...but it doubt they will...

how easy is it to print info on CD without special equiptment...and why go to that effort for less than £10, if it was a blank CD_R then maybe, but its a plain disc with standard UW type printing on it...

i might post a pic later...

[TheBang]

how easy is it to print info on CD without special equiptment
Depends. If it looks like this (http://www.lightscribe.com/images/View_full_sci-fi.jpg), it's pretty easy. ;)

[Jan]

If you're not really chubby, I reckon you might fit one of these. I'm 196 centimetres and it fits me okay (even if I'm a bit chubby myself :D ). I'm 190cm and almost too skinny :p
hmmm... i never buy clothes myself... but L is probably too small :)

Is there anybody who bought this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F5GKP4/sr=1-2/qid=1149852667/ref=sr_1_2/202-0171831-7739869?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=music&v=glance) already? There's Two Months Off on it. I wonder if it is a special mix or something worth buying.

If its mixed, then yes...cos there are amazing tracks - Uw to Garnier to FBS - DREAM

If it's screen-printed, it's certainly not the trouble to do it for 9 pounds (I actually worked in a cd production facilty a few days ago, retouching screens before printing :) ).

You might also want to check out the inner ring of the cd (near the hole) to see if you can find a label nummer or information from the cd factory.

what would i do with this information should i have it?

[froopy seal]

I guess it is evidence of the CD's authenticity. That inner-ring info should be quite hard to reproduce without industrial equipment.

well on the inner it says:

IFPI ED62

If that means its from an official source, i would not know either way - although these kinda numbers don't appear on standard blank cd-r's as far as i know...

There was another Riverrun promo cd on eBay, think it fetched $10 or something, did not post it here when it was active to prevent a bidding war.

It's probably posted somewhere on this board, but how are the 3 RRs fitted on one cd?

i got it! :)

probably not more than £12 - maybe not even £10 now... but some have gone for £20...

[froopy seal]

probably not more than £12 - maybe not even £10 now... but some have gone for £20... I got mine for €7. That's less than £20, isn't it? Wait, it's even less than £10. Mwahahahahaha ... :p

0wned! :D
I would not pay more than 10€ shipped. Recently i saw one in mint condition going away for something around 3 pound.
Italian KOS, Skyscraper, Juanita promo, Jed the Fish... those are the only really expensive ones i can think of right now...

I made her an offer.. but I think it'll be refused, we'll see what happens.

(whimper) I want I want I want!
Why is it these people get THESE things and the people who WANT them don't? What's THAT about. I mean UW could press 100 copies sell them to us, then send out the rest to the other guys who'll just sell on ebay eventually...

[suicidalpenguin]

Ba*****ds!

[suicidalpenguin]

Sorry,
Just got back from pub & expressing extreme disapproval of rip-off merchants on ebay taking advantage of fans :mad:

[negative1]

do any of you buy promos?
most of them are sent to reviewers or
radio stations as a promotional item..
or if you know someone at the label,
they can send you the items..

i'm just saying it may look like a rip-off...
(i wouldn't pay that much for them)..

but if someone wants to pay that much,
let them..

there was an option to make an offer..
so why not try that?

as far as them pressing up more copies on cd,
their release plan is different..they
are available on vinyl..it was supposed to be
a limited release anyway..(i know new order
did this also with some of their singles)..

its not always about sales, (or fans for
that matter)..its just the way it worked out
for now..

Thanks Lou!

TheBang, I'll tell you about the baby later...

[lloyd]

I used the offer option, bid GBP50 for them. She declined the offer and this was my only chance to an offer it now says. I can't see what the 3 other offers were, it only shows mine.
Yeah I try to get promos, the JBO12378P 12" of D3D etc were easy to get at DJshops, still are even. It's nice to have them in the collection. Tracks can always be altered after promo releases for the final release. Or have versions that don't show up elsewhere. Also because they are limited they are collectable ofcourse.
On the other hand, if I was sending out promos for free to get them reviewed by journalists, I wouldn't be happy if they showed up at ebay or in shops. But that's the way it works..

[Jan]

...and all tracks/mixes will be available to download too.

I only tell you this ahead of the official announcement as I'd hate anyone to pay over the odds on eBay for white labels. Unless you want to of course. Your choice!

M
The seller is wrong in saying that these tracks are vinyl only.
I'll wait for the download releases. :cool:

[big screen satellite]

the seller is using a different seller id, beacuse i think he got taken off selling other promo items elsewhere by the record companies (either way he is charging a lot) ...and she is actually a HE...

we'll see if these get sold...

but anyone who pays £199 for them is paying too much

[crank]

yeah, i know how getting promos works. i was just under the impression these won't see a proper release is all...

(feeling much better after a bit more sleep today)

[mark3]

The cds went for £123 :eek:

[big screen satellite]

The cds went for £123 :eek:

yeah well done - to the bidder

the seller was obviously waiting for the best offer before selling them...but £199 was mad...

but thats equates to £41 per CD, which is still crazy (and thats coming from me!!!)

[big screen satellite]

arrived the other day:

BBC Worldwide Radio International - In Concert 757 - Underworld - CD

- Glastonbury Festival 1998 (57'23")

possibly one off CD from BBC in BBC Jewel Cased CD Sleeve & BBC Printed label (includes A4 Cue sheet & Info)

a real rarity - no Radio ID's or voiceovers, straight from the mix desk quality


not telling how much it cost me though...but it was a lot

[big screen satellite]

well it turned out that i didn't need to win these in the end, as the postman delivered something much better yesterday

lets just say Test Pressed Vinyls feel and sound much better... mmm vinyl


anyway i'd still like the CD's for my collction, but having vinyl has more than made up for missing out on these CD's and i'd be sleepless too if i'd paid that much, especially as i reckon i can get a set of these CD's elsewhere for less...

although i'm still sleepless after what i paid for that BBC Glastonbury Live CD!!! (although i defy anyone to get the same copy of that, which is why i splashed out for it)

still I hope he enjoys the music because its rocking...

FYI, on those Riverrun Remix promos, it appears there is a mislabel. "Peggy Sussed (Robag Mix with Melody)" is actually "Play Pig (Robag Mix with Melody)" (as per track 2 on the Vanilla Monkey 12").

I have bought some stuff from them... but usually they are a bit over-priced

and I have seen a couple of random bootlegs on their site...

but it's probably legitimate

[big screen satellite]

- thats a legit item

- its not rare though

- well i have a copy... its certainly not a one off - its more like a one of 50

- its no different to the orginal release or any other promo version of the alum and as such isn't much worth to anyone who is not a collector - why pay £15 for a cd when you can get the original with all the artwork for £5 nowdays?

- eil are great for collectors even if they are over priced they only buy genuine stuff to sell on

- they sepcialise in collectors items and as such charge a premium - you can often get stuff elsewhere for less but that means looking - eil have a massive massive catalogue and 99% of their stuff is mint and new - i know a few people who work for eil buying stuff and they only buy legit (as far as tehy know) items

Regarding those Breaking & Entering promo CDs that are floating around...

Any idea how many are out there? They seem to be quite common as there were/are quite a few on eBay and elsewhere.
I got my copy today in the mail. Nice to see a promo CD with artwork. :)

Still want a poster though. You can buy them of the cocoon website, there is a shop thing somewhere, I did see it... 6e a piece the posters

i have 7 of the posters which i bought, at cocoon and can sell for 5e plus postage - i was gonna sell them to the guys that were there but never got the chance - i did pay 5e each for them so its not me making money from it ;)

i also have about 20 postcards from cocoon...

if you want a poster please pm me - paypal only - one is slightly damaged, and one is mine, but that leaves five in excellent cond - they are printed on card stock not poster paper - so very good quality...

and very nice too

[sanakan]

there's an € sign, you know? ;)

"5e" just doesn't make any sense..

[esaias]

I decided not to start uw records, been on that road with other bands, had enough of that :P

anyways, i have some stuff, for example, does the Juanita 12" promo stand any collectible value?

Well, it turns up on Ebay Italy frequently. There was one only two weeks ago... Just keep checking.
Otherwise, try contacting Italian online sellers, maybe they have a copy lying around. That's how I got mine anyway.

Not surprising

[TheBang]

Received my copy of the Japan promo of 1992-2002 in the mail today. Got it for the 9:12 version of Jumbo, after the discussion here (http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/showthread.php?t=6166). I like hearing Jumbo with a definite ending, instead of a fade!

It also has the 11:37 version of Dirty, which isn't that great, cause it's just more of the same as the 11:17 version on Dirty Epic.

I got mine for $33 on GEMM, which I guess isn't too bad. If anyone else is interested, the same seller has another copy listed here (http://www1.gemm.com/item/UNDERWORLD/1992-d-2002/GML680311610/). Unfortunately, it's listed at $44, but who knows, maybe you can e-mail him and haggle it down to $30-ish.

I've also got the 2x12" Jumbo promo on its way, for the Prelude and longer Futureshock and Jedis Sugar Hit mixes. I found it for $4 (and from a U.S. seller too, which helped on shipping). Now if anyone can just figure out which CD has the 8:12 Futureshock mix...

Also ordered the Rowla/Deep Pan 12" today, so I can hear Rowla (Long Version)! Picked that up for $15.

[mmm skyscraper]

It also has the 11:37 version of Dirty, which isn't that great, cause it's just more of the same as the 11:17 version on Dirty Epic.


Does it still have the Akira sample or was that cut out?

[TheBang]

I don't know know what the Akira sample is. Can you describe it?

[mkb]

I've got an IRC log in which myself and several other members of the dirtylist interrogate a certain Darren Emerson in #spikee on EFNet.

;)

Somewhere I also have a recording of some drunk dirtylist yokel listening to the end of a live recording and yelling UNDERWORLD! UNDERWORLD! SEE YOU NEXT SUMMER! DON'T GO!

[mkb]

I don't know know what the Akira sample is. Can you describe it?

It's the 'piron piron piron piron' stuff at the end of Dirty Epic (dirty mix) sampled from "Doll's Polyphony" on the Akira soundtrack.

(If you've seen Akira it's the scene where the giant toys are attacking Tetsuo)

[joethelion]

I don't know know what the Akira sample is. Can you describe it?


um... well - on the actual Akira soundtrack, the 'song' is called "Dolls' Polyphony"

and it sounds like a bunch of ... I really don't know how to describe it!

sort of imagine a bunch of high pitched voices going "boing" "pew"...


it's the scene in the movie where there are those gigantic teddy bears (and I seem to remember something about milk too... although - it's been years since I've seen the movie)

[TheBang]

Yup, the Akira sample is still on there. Just imagine the ending of Dirty on the Dirty Epic CD fading out 20 seconds later, and that's basically what's on this Anthology promo.

[selector]

that ending cinched the deal as this being one of the best
uw tracks imho!

hell, that maxi single was tops as well...
i miss those days... the cd5's.

and you, will you wear them?

later

[joethelion]

don't forget to check the images of the shoes that you purchase (especially on eBay) - there are definitely some fakes out there. Like, they won't have the different labels on the back of each heel. Like, "Tomato" on one and "underworld" on the other... I was only able to buy the Ian Brown ones, and for example - they've got "ian" on the back of the left shoe, and 'brown' on the back of the right

...basic rule of thumb, if they're not crazy expensive ... they're probably fake
(b/c if I remember correctly, even their original retail price was something like $150)

[ndrwrld]

i was also a little worried my gf may have run into a faker, specially after talking to Yannick ( damn you ), but after researching, i am teh proud owner of authentic UW/ Tomato shoes.
i am in heaven...i remember when Adidas came out with all those 35th anniv shoes, and i thought, damn, theyre expenso.
i figured one day id have the $ to buy them.
i am loved...
now, wearing them out is a whole other matter.
my dream...have rick and karl sign them ( i'd consider us ' even ' ).;)
my reality...maybe wear them in the spring and summer.

[industri_studios]

Joe - are the Ian Brown's the blue and red ones? I always liked them, but wished they'd been black (sort of a theme in my wardrobe, doncha know)...

edition running shoes?

really, i'm surprised they would even bother..
i'm sure they're somewhat rare, but why
make fakes of them?

[joethelion]

Joe - are the Ian Brown's the blue and red ones? I always liked them, but wished they'd been black (sort of a theme in my wardrobe, doncha know)...


actually - they're more of a dark green and red...
if I remember correctly (I'm not wearing them at the moment), but the shell-toe & bottom is black, and the insole (inside the shoe) is yellow w/ lyrics to an Ian Brown song written inside

- oh and there's a gold plastic-thingy at the base of the shoe lases

and -1
I don't get it either, but there's a HUGE market for fake 'collectable' shoes and clothes... I had no idea about it until I really got into UNKLE. At first I wanted to get some related shirts (Futura2000 inspired designs, etc) or Bape stuff, but I couldn't find them anywhere for less than really really really ridiculous prices... then I started finding cheap online stores / auctions

that's when I found out that there are actually 'established' businesses that do nothing but make fake/pirated/bootleg versions of clothing

and like - these are freakin' t-shirts and tennis shoes!

sometimes they're obvious fakes, like the design is off or the colors are wrong... while others are a bit more tricky to decipher

...needless to say - I never got into the whole 'collectable' t-shirt or tennis shoe "deal" as you're put into two situations

(1) you're paying waaaaaay too much $$$ for clothes that you can't really wear

[or]

(2) you pay not-too-much (but still kinda pricey) for items that are fake


...actually - I think the Ian Brown shoes might just be the most expensive pair of shoes I've ever bought (including dress shoes) - and I even bought them at the Adidas store (so it was retail)

[negative1]

ok, but the thing about the underworld shoes
is they are pretty unique..

wouldn't it cost a lot to reproduce the graphics,
the inks, the fabrics, etc???

that's a lot of trouble to go through, especially
for these shoes, i guess, i'll just have to check
if they're reputable dealers..

some of the ones online (and I DONT MEAN
TO OFFEND ANYONE FROM THERE)...are
from Hong Kong , etc.....so , yeah buyer beware..

not to say that fakes don't come from US/EUROPE/etc...

How can you spot the fakes? I was looking at eBay last night and found a store which had like 5 pairs of varying sizes. They were $62 starting bids. I'm at work and can't get a link but I searched for "underworld adidas". I REALLY want a pair of these but pnly if theyr'e authentic. Thanks.

This link posted earlier has some pretty detailed pics. http://www.pickyourshoes.com/casual/adidas_superstar35_music_underworld.htm

If they haven't got Underworld on the back tab of one shoe and Tomato on the back of the other, that's a bad sign for a start. The other thing would be the soles of the shoes which, as you can see in these pix, have a very distinct design, and also the insoles which have random lyrics on them.

If you are unsure, I would suggest emailing the store and asking for all these details to be confirmed, and ask them to confirm they are genuine. If you then purchase them and find they aren't, you can get your money back through your credit card company/paypal/whoever and return them. Sucks to have to do that, but unless you can actually look at the shoes before you buy them, there is no way to tell 100%

Don't see any of the shoes available in a manly enough size for my gigantic, manly feet. :(

[cacophony]

If you can't tell then why does it matter?

that's what my husband says. his opinion is that even if they are fake, if they're good enough fakes that you can't tell the difference even with all the "fake spotter" guides out there, then they're just as good as the real thing.


i've decided to ease my mental anguish this way: i'll wear them. i wasn't going to wear them but i've changed my mind. that way, if they're real i've gotten enjoyment out of them. and if they're fake who cares if they get scuffed?

[cacophony]

take some pics of them in various lighting situations and post them here.
holy shit. okay one of the reasons i doubted them was because they didn't look reflective at all. then suddenly tonight i was walking into the bathroom and i flipped the light on and glanced out into the bedroom and they were reflecting like a mofo. then i grabbed my camera and took two shots. sure enough, unreflective in normal light but glow-tastic with a flash.

picture (http://www.gofalldown.com/cacophony/myimages/UWshoes.jpg)

oh my god, i already left the guy feedback saying the shoes were counterfeit. someone please tell me the counterfeit ones reflect, too. because otherwise i'm going to have to go back and apologize and humbly withdraw my objection.:o

[Jan]

Hmmm, this is strange.
The laces of my pair don't have written "Underworld" all over them and are just beige.
Did you get those special laces (http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s74/4d11/underworld44d14.jpg) with the shoes?

Here is a comparison of authentic and fake if you haven't seen it already:
http://www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?t=671391

I think you can see the difference most clearly when you look at that (http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s74/4d11/faketomatos1.jpg) (don't know the English word...). It's felt-like on the originals whereas on the fake ones it's made of shiny and soft fabric.
It's really hard to spot any difference.

It seems I got authentic ones! :) ...just without those laces. :(

yeah they came with the tan laces in, but had the packs of special laces with them. swapping out the tan laces for the underworld/tomato laces was the first thing i did.

i don't think the insole looks like the one identified as "fake" in that link. they aren't mottled like that. and they aren't shiny. but i'm not sure i'd use the word "felt" to describe them. hell, i don't know. in a couple of the shots they more resemble the fake ones. in a couple they more resemble the real ones. they do not have the little tab at the heel, i know that for sure. and i checked the ID tags sewn into the tongues. apparently on fakes the serial numbers are usually the same for both shoes. on mine the serial numbers are different for each shoe. i don't know that i think the lack of tab and the serial number thing are really solid arguments for real, though. that just takes counterfeiters getting one step smarter.



i'm pretty sure i wouldn't have known or cared about this issue if i hadn't read the whole discussion on previous pages about fakes. it seriously wouldn't have occurred to me to question it and i could have lived in ignorant bliss. DAMN YOU DIRTIES! YOU MADE ME PARANOID ABOUT SHOES!!!

excellent find! my seller's on the list, but he emailed me and pretty much admitted openly that they're fakes once i left him negative feedback. he offered me a refund but i doubt he seriously thought i would take him up on it. i emailed him back and said, "sure, you paypal the money back into my account first, and i'll be happy to mail them back." he's since disappeared off the face of the planet.

i don't really care either way about the sale of counterfeits, it doesn't bother my morality one bit. but at least note "knock-off" in the product description.

i did indeed pay with credit card. i have a feeling that long list of names hides a fairly short list of dealers, though. i suspect that they sell sell sell and as soon as they incur negative feedback they abandon their accounts and move on to another. my seller has pulled all of his auctions since i emailed him.

it's not enough money to really be worth it to me, but i might put in a complaint if it would hassle him a little bit. ;)

Does anybody remember that EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING promotional video from waay back, before the DVD came out? It was kind of an infomercial with a British female voiceover explaining all the features of the DVD. I forget where that was made available but I lost it years ago and just remembered it.

Anybody know where to find it, or feeling kind enough to share it with me?

Thnx.

Nah, they look like crap, tbh. It's a shame the bootleggers are out in force. I wonder if they are commercial bootlegs, or if it's just homemade by this seller.

[BeautifulBurnout]

I wonder if they are commercial bootlegs, or if it's just homemade by this seller.

I get the feeling they are homemade, somehow. Just look at his feedback - he has sold a LOT of boots. 16 since the new year alone, averaging $25-$30 a pop. Nice work if you can get it. :rolleyes:

You can see printer stripes on the covers, I have a feeling they are copies of the LHN stuff from the description probably burned from MP3 acquired from some place or other...

When I complained he said that it was the original from the band (limited to 500 copies) but within the last few years he sold at least 10 more of his homemade Salt Tank cdrs...
So better beware!

Reading his terms and conditions of sale, he seems like a very dodgy character indeed. "Not sure" if they are bootlegs my ass. And anyone who blatantly says "unless you give me a 5 star rating on all categories on feedback I will not give you good feedback" is an idiot. I wouldn't have any dealings with this dork at all.

This is my first post here and I have a collectors question. I have a CD I made of of a dat that was given to me in 91 or 92 that has as far as I can tell 3 unreleased UW tracks. My question is has anyone ever heard of these 3 tracks? They are "Big Meat Show" "Organ" & "Can U Feel Me" I am an avid collector of UW music and I have very close to a complete collection of tracks and remixes. But in all my searches I have never run across any mention of these.

Umm............................................... .................................

[TheBang]

More details. Are these live or studio recordings? What's the source of the DAT? Wanna post them for us to hear?

[Deckard]

Plagiarist!

[deckard236]

More details. Are these live or studio recordings? What's the source of the DAT? Wanna post them for us to hear?

These are studio recordings. The dat was loaned to me by an acquaintance that was managing the bands U.S interests at the time and was trying to get them a deal in the states. Now that I am at home I see the date on the copy that I made was 9/20/93. The songs on the dat are labeled as follows:
Dirty Epic 9:58
Jamscraper 8:54
Big Meat Show 6:43
MMM Skyscraper I Love You 13:01
Organ 6:19
River of Bass 9:06
Dark And Long 7:28
Dirty Fuzz 9:59
Can U Feel Me 4:25
Goodbye Mother Earth 7:07
As you can see most of these tracks ended up on DNBWMHM, and are the exact same mixes. Jamscraper was on the skyscraper single (which I was never able to find on CD, & Dirty Fuzz appeared on a later single as Dirty Epic (Dirty Guitar Mix). That leaves the other 3. I always assumed that they would eventually appear on a single somewhere, but they seem to have been forgotten. While they fit in nicely with the other tracks I always felt that they are all kind of the missing link between the 2 different incarnations of the band, which is why they may have been shelved. I can't imagine that I am the only one that has these, so I finally decided to post this info to see what anyone might know. As far as posting the songs, I have never done that so any help as to the best way to do that would be appreciated.

[khouri]

Could they possibly be versions of "The Hump" or "Why Why Why"?

[negative1]

one way is to get someone to transfer the DAT over
to a computer, as WAV files.... and then convert those
over to mp3 etc..

if you have a DAT and a soundcard on your computer, you should be able
to hook the stereo connections up to it, and use an
audio recording program to record it, and save the files..

from there, there are several options to posting the files,
to many of the free file sharing sites, like zshare.com or
megaupload.com , etc, etc.... you can pm some of the
people for more advice if you are having issues..

good luck, it will be interesting to hear those other tracks..

[Jan]

As far as posting the songs, I have never done that so any help as to the best way to do that would be appreciated.
If you have them digitized, you could post the songs as a torrent at the RTSR tracker (http://tracker.rtsr.net/). You can create the torrent file with µtorrent.
A lossless format like FLAC is recommended. MP3 is suboptimal.

Thanks for your efforts, I'm looking forward listening to those songs!

[TheBang]

He said they were on CD not DAT (just sourced from a DAT). That makes it easy. You can just use Exact Audio Copy to rip the CD. I recommend ripping to FLAC. Here's a tutorial:

http://filesharefreak.com/tutorials/properly-ripping-to-flac-with-eac-099/

You can then post the tracks a few at a time to file-sharing sites, such as Rapidshare:

http://www.rapidshare.com/

Or, if you're comfortable with BitTorrent, you can upload the whole CD to a bittorrent tracker, like the RTSR one as Jan suggests, or a public one such as The Pirate Bay.

I have registered at the RTSR site, and am waiting on acceptance. Reading through the rules it seems that posting unreleased UW tracks here IS acceptable. Please let me know if this is incorrect, I want to avoid any copyright infringements, I take this issue very seriously.

BIG MEAT SHOW
Dreamed about this waitress, working in a restaurant
Dreamed about this waitress, working in a restaurant, she asked me to be on a quiz show
She took me to the make-up room, started kissing me all over

This is delicious, channel 69
The ultimate extension, hard rock and smart drugs
This is delicious, channel 69
The ultimate extension, of hard rock and smart drugs
Children of God, keep your eye on the ball
This is the big meat show, adult film star, welcome one and all

Wind speed rising, summers late this year
Two snakes in a bed, I’ve got my freak machine
Wind speed rising, summers late this year
Two snakes in a bed, I’ve got my freak machine
Children of God, keep your eye on the ball
This is the big meat show, adult film star, welcome one and all

Blackard’s rising, stoned to the bone
Let’s take a ride let’s, shake and dive
Blackard’s rising, stoned to the bone
Let’s take a ride let’s, burn some rubber
Touchdown, crawl along the floor
Touchdown, give me some more
Touchdown, crawl along the floor
Let’s burn some rubber and ride

This is the big meat show, adult film star, channel 69, fast food to go
The big meat show, adult film star, channel 69, fast food to go

A natural obsessions, delicious smile
A natural obsessions, channel 69

CAN U FEEL ME
Can you feel me, like I feel you
Can you hold me in your dreams
Your
Because I’m holding you

One time I was touching my feet, turn around and found something
One time there was nothing but feet
I put a hole in the back of the sun
If you got in you can feel it
I put a hole in the back of the sun

So can you feel me, like I feel you
Do you hold me in your dreams
Your
Like I’ve been holding you

One time there was nothing to lose
Here’s the fool that’s got something precious
One time there was nothing to lose at all
Dug a hole there was nowhere to run
In my head I found sanctuary
One time there was nowhere to run at all

So can you feel me, can you feel me
Like I feel you, like I feel you
Can you feel me, can you feel me
Like I feel you, like I feel you

Repeats various bits of lyrics through the end of the song

Go to the Preferences, and under the "Formats" section add "FLAC" as a format and check the checkbox. Under the "Ripper" section, change it to "cdparanoia". Then, insert your CD and rip the tracks. The rip will probably end up in your "Music" folder.

1. First you need to generate the torrent file. In Transmission, go to File and choose "Create Torrent File". Select the FOLDER of all the audio files. Then, in the Trackers field, put in the announce URL for the tracker (in this case, http://tracker.rtsr.net/announce.php). Then click "Create". The .torrent file will be created (probably on your desktop).

2. Now, you need to upload the torrent to the tracker. Go to http://tracker.rtsr.net/torrents-upload.php Fill out the form, including the .torrent file you just generated.

3. Now, you'll need to re-download the torrent file. There will be a link to do so on the webpage. Double-click the newly downloaded .torrent file to open it in Transmission. In Transmission, point the download location to the FOLDER containing the audio files, and then click "Add". It should now verify the files, and after a few seconds, it will start "Seeding" the files. That is, the progress bar will be solid green. Now, just leave Transmission running. People will be able to download the files from you, so long as you are seeding it.

@deckard236: I see you as a peer with 0.0% downloaded, have you done step 3 above?

Yes I have, but I seem to be having trouble. The files never verified, and nothing's happening. I have retried it 5 times with the same results. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions?

[Jan]

I don't have a Mac, but I found this (maybe it helps):
Common problems
When I upload a torrent, and re-download it to seed, the progress stays at 0% and tries to download instead of seed.
Make sure your download location is set to where the files are located. So for example if you have MP3 files located in "X:/Torrents/My Torrent/" go to Transmission>Preferences>Transfers, and set the "Download to:" location to "X:/Torrents/." Or you can set it to "Same as torrent file" if your torrent will be in the same location as the .torrent file (Ex: If your .torrent file is on the Desktop, your folder of MP3s or whatever you are trying to seed must be on the desktop), or set it to "Always ask me" if you want to choose the location for yourself every time you import a torrent.



edit: It works now, great!

Thanks so much for sharing these tracks, deckard236.
There are clearly elements from Tongue, Skyscraper and Bigmouth in these tracks. Lovely stuff (even if I understand why they didn't make it to Dubno).

[Jan]

These tracks are awesome...! Thank you deckard236! You are holding a piece of history in your hands... :D

To me it sounds like The Hump / Mother Earth, Karl's MK1 style vocals + Rick's Lemon Interupt style beats & pads.
Is that Karl doing the Eclipse vocals in Organ? hehe...

One question: If I want to assemble the whole album, do I take the tracklist you posted earlier (http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/showpost.php?p=103150&postcount=710)? Because in the torrent Can U Feel Me is track number 2 and not 9.

deckard236, thank you so much. No one said this before because I think we were cautiously skeptical, but the proof is in the pudding. I don't think anyone even knew these tracks existed, and you have generously shared a rare and unique piece of Underworld history with us.

It wasn't quite clear from your original post. Do you have the actual DAT? Or just a CD copy of it? If you have the DAT, could you post a picture of it? I'm sure there are some on here that would offer you a pretty penny for it.

Also, could you perhaps share the rest of the tracks? I wonder if any of them are different from the eventual album versions. At a minimum, you listed "River of Bass" as 9:06, which is longer than any released version.

Im happy that the music is on the tracker, so many thanks for that. Thanks also to the people helping Deckard236 in uploading it. However, as this is on the RTSR tracker, and this isnt really the thread for this (though news of it is astounding) further discussion should either be in a new thread, and discussion of any files should be on the RTSR Yahoo Group (http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/rtsrboardoftrade/). We welcome new members with open arms, really :)

Once again, deckard236: thank you for your contribution!

agreed! seconded!
personally, hearing sounds of my early teenage years holds some special value: i imagin whan would have happend if i'd known them then... thinking about the super-crap stuff i listened to in '93..
so really: thank you! hearing fresh tunes from yesteryear really blows my mind...

also seconded! us at RTSR being a bunch of anal collectors, we'd certainly appreciate the full show!

awesome stuff deckard236

Can U Feel Me has the same part as Vocoder Monks

'a hole in the back of the sun' = runout groove on The Hump

'Can you feel me, like I feel you/Can you hold me in your dreams'
is also in Mother Earth although heavily computerized.

[TheBang]

Can U Feel Me has the same part as Vocoder Monks
Nice catch. Makes sense, since Vocoder Monks is from an art installation piece from 1993.

I'm thinking that these demo pieces might be from as early as 1992 or 1991. If these are progenitors of later pieces (Organ -> Eclipse, Can U Feel Me -> Vocoder Monks, etc.), then they would necessarily have to be earlier than 1993.

Big Meat Show is great! thanks a million* Deckard.


*not in US currency

[TheBang]

Go listen to the last 3 minutes of "Mmm Skyscraper" on dubno. It's "Can U Feel Me". Much different from this early demo version, but you can hear the elements and lineage there. I always wondered about that section of Skyscraper, and now we know.

(Also, maybe a mod should break all of these posts out of collector's corner into a new thread.)

[Yannick]

"Can U Feel Me" was on another tape cassette labeled as "Feel Me" which is 4:00 faded out...

other track out there:

Faded Love
Sex Lies (Rock)
Sex Lies
Winter Moon
Yours Faithfully
Faith Healer
Spirit Of The World
Isolation
Mother Earth.. early mix

would be nice to hear the stories about those... and here i was spending all my time with the nice doggy lol

Yes the original dat was in the order that I listed earlier. The program was to long to fit on 1 CD so it is split onto 2, Can U Feel me is track 2 of the 2nd CD

I have a copy of the original dat, not the original one. I'm pretty sure that the original had a standard plain dat label that was hand written. I have listened to these tracks a hundred times and I never realized that River of Bass was almost 3 minutes longer, It is really just an extended version of the same mix, but I will definitely post it when I get a chance.

I'm still trying to get ahold of a pair of the addidas UW Tomato shoes. I've searched everywhere, but I can't find anything my size. I wear a size US 12 or 12 1/2. It's gotten to the point where I don't mind if they're fakes; I just want a pair really bad!!!

Does anyone know of a place that supports my size? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ooo that could go for silly money, once it went for £100+. Glad I got mine for £10.
