The Underworldlive.com thread

[Dirty0900]

With a new deal signed, i think things must be merging together by now. I doubt they'll tour before having a new record finished.

[stauff]

hideous google translation (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftrafficjpn.com%2Fnews%2Fs how%2F11&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools): can anyone translate this so one can understand it? :)
is there an album title lost in translation?
I'll give it a bash. My comments in [], and I suck at translation, so the phrasing is a bit weird:

Underworld, UNKLE sign with Traffic (6th April 2007)

This time, Traffic brings you information about Underworld and UNKLE's signing up to Traffic for the Japan region.

Underworld's Karl Hyde (Vo/G) and UNKLE's James Lavelle, and Traffic's Company President Hiroshi Nakamura [I guess Hiroshi, there's a few ways to read that name] made the contracts and had the following to say about it:

* Karl Hyde (Underworld): We been able to work with Traffic's Ray Hahn [spelling?] Hiroshi Nakamura for a long time, and they have assembled a great team of very talented people, so I'm very pleased to enter into a contract with them. We're really looking forward to this exciting new venture. In cooperation with traffic, Rick and I are incredibly excited about bringing the "world of underworld" to Japanese fans.

* James Lavelle (UNKLE): I'm really happy to be able to release a new album with Japan's coolest label!

* Hiroshi Nakamura (Traffic): The dance music scene's biggest hit, Underworld, and the street culture scene leader, UNKLE, both artists continue to represent the spirit of the art of the 90s [ugh, hard to translate]. It's a huge honour to sign this sort of artist and it will surely be a great honour to carry their projects.

Underworld's first single is planned for this summer, and their 5th original album is planned for release this autumn. UNKLE's 3rd original album is set for release in June. After this, expect more releases from both artists!

[edit: Duh, 6th of April not May.. obviously]

[holden]

They must have checked this thread, cos
R&K hungry for a webcast, too!

"a bone got no home without a dog" - that could be a nice album title!;)

[grady]

I'm thinking they(Rick and Karl), or their assistant Danielle, or whoever, checks this thread often. A couple days back in reply to a conversation here regarding a track called All These Things appeared on the home page.

Regarding the webcast, there was a cryptic myspace group message that went out stating the following:

in progress

Listen to Dirtyradio!!! (http://www.dirty.org/forums/../listen.pls)

If the above link does not automatically start your default music program please run your music program and use its "play location/url" feature to enter the following address: http://ct1.fast-serv.com:9486

new stuff ? old stuff ? unreleased stuff... ;)

The message was sent at 11:59am PST Wednesday, April 26th. Unfortunately I was unable to listen in as I had a meeting to attend to 12:10. But then I noticed no real word or conversation here on the site so I figured it slipped underneath the radar or there was no new material played.

Either way, it's been far to long since good groovy vibes have been heard from the world of lemon broadcast over the lines.

In light of this discussion I played the last webcast broadcast at the theater pub I work at last night. It was nice to listen to on a loud system.

[rudydaduck]

we are waiting . . . .

[Yannick]

that was me playing stuff on the dirtyradio, pimping the radio via the myspace page....

we do need another lemonworld webcast fix and lots of pile of people soundcheck :)

[Dirty0900]

Has the Myspace page got some new photos up? Some very cool, yet odd ones on there.

[grady]

I think the myspace photos are the new ones that appeared on perou's website too

[Dirty0900]

Laughing over track titles. Hmm can we suggest any?

"This is our fifth album" as the title......

[Jafs]

if the second half is assembled, so the album is finished ?

hmm, album title "Hmmm sugar, sugar, gimme five sugar in my coffee"

[tantris]

Did anyone else journey through that World's Worst Wireless Show that was linked to a few days ago? High-larious. There's some good ones in there, worth a listen if you just listen to stuff on and on at work like I do...

Here's the link in case you want to check it out again:
http://www.chronoglide.com/WWWS_Show1.html

[dubman]

SO.


GUYS.

i dunno if we've all noticed or not but liiiiiiiiike.....

they pretty much finished the album.

they're in the mastering process.

ricks masters about five tracks while karl takes a stroll.

i think... we might finally get some good info on this reallllly soon.

[the mongoose]

Very cool, can't wait!:cool:

[King of Snake]

well, knowing Rick, he's prolly gonna master them again, and again, and again until he's happy with it :)

[rudydaduck]

i am waiting on that next entry which says "rick masters tracks 6 through (?)"

and then, if there is a third entry at some point -- "rick masters tracks (12?) through (???)" well, i don't even want to get into to that!

either way, goose vibes all the way around!!!!!!

[Ufotofu]

In my opinion, UW will tell us the title/tracklist/release date something in June. Don't quote me, though.

Is Darren considered part of Underworld? Or he still just a live element? :)

[rudydaduck]

"while we was in the last few weeks of assembling an album . . . ."

hmmm. is the music done? waiting on artwork? video planning? touring? t-shirts?

is this where we is? or isn't we? things seem good and cooked. bring the single!

[Dirty0900]

That studio looks amazing.

[big screen satellite]

today: got a name? - (you mean for the album?)

let me think..

sleepless in essex ( sounds good ;) )

or even

the loud lemon

i dunno, you decide, they always seem inspired when we get them from you guys... 'Second Toughest in The Infants' was superb

[BeautifulBurnout]

Dogless! :)

[holden]

Something great for a name will appear from all your notebooks of ideas, Karl! But since you asked, some LP ideas from my own notes:
;)

objective perspective
hit the ground running
fieldtrip
hightensionpowerlines
what is proper, what is wise
and we said it with a smile
made to order
return to crimescene
glacial polish
(no more) throwing chairs

(just some ideas i've been kicking around for my next bedroom-produced record. Unsigned and undeserving! :p )

[big screen satellite]

i'm not sure if its been used as a name before but i came up with a good one the other day too:

tracks in a box

[BeautifulBurnout]

Unsigned and undeserving! :p )

Unsigned - yes, for now at least...
Undeserving - abso-blooming-lutely not, Holden! :)

[Ufotofu]

I like "return to crimescene" and "and we said it with a smile."

Here are some of my ideas-

"Fiber to Every Household"
"Created by Someone"
"Gentlemen and Undecideds"

[gaborez]

off the top of my head (man):


manwithmybassnodubhead

imho

digestive

where's my badger?


:) sod the title when we gonna hear it guys ;)

[mmm skyscraper]

I'm a Big Brother, and I'm a Boy, and I'm a Prince, and This is my Porsche

[crank]

120 Days is really good.
KEXP just sent out a live podcast they did in studio:
http://www.kexp.org/podcasting/past.asp?podcast=instudio

[rudydaduck]

"bed. i know i . . . ."

[BeautifulBurnout]

where's my badger?




Why, here, (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgertrance) of course! :D

[Techno_Bunny]

LOL at today's link :D
my fav version of DootDoot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWkccmluYOs&mode=related&search=)

[crank]

I gotta say, it'd be really really cool to hear what the boys would do with doot doot today... Could really be cool. though i get the feeling the boys don't look back that far anymore.

PS Found this attached to DOOT DOOT:

[rudydaduck]

too kind box, mom.

[rudydaduck]

webcast? album tracks "slotted in"? oooooo i'm going crazy! somebody tell me something i can hear!

[TheBang]

Holy crap, look at all those wires!

[Ufotofu]

Imagine tripping over those beasts...it could take hours to get everything fixed up!

[tantris]

Sure sounds like the boys could toss us a bone and give us a 10 second preview or something.

But I guess they're busy putting the whole album together...:o

[big screen satellite]

you've heard all the notes & words before i'm sure, just assmeble them in yer head and thats the album... (if a monkey and typewriter can write shakespear eventually, we can surely do the same with this album...)

i'm predicting a webcast with some sneaky previews soonish...

it sounds like its coming together nicely...

[crank]

Man, that underwater artwork was amazing. Thanks for sharing the Wooster Collective.

[dubnobasswithme]

Man, that underwater artwork was amazing. Thanks for sharing the Wooster Collective.

yeah, the underwater pictures were the highlight for me as well :)

[TheBang]

Yeah, I liked the underwater sculpture.
I told my girlfriend, "Come look at this, this is really cool!"
And then she was like, "Why do you think that's so interesting?"
And I was like :confused::(

[Jafs]

Maybe the album title will be "The great loss of sensibility by contemporary girlfriends"

cruel world...

[grady]

I wonder how much footage they have of the recording live now. There was video recorded at Crabby Road back during the Breaking and Entering sessions, some other snapshots here and there from Crabby Road and the LOUD lemon. I like the idea of an archive of work in process and would love a slight glimpse into it.

[Dirty0900]

Rolo Tomassi are an awesome band, saw them randomly support 65daysofstatic last week. The girl who sings has an awesome voice and a nice person to talk to...

[rudydaduck]

Ack-tiv-i-ty!

(excellent.)

[BeautifulBurnout]

Awesome link today :D

[Techno_Bunny]

Ha! Opening firefox, sitting next to the Dutch number one DeadHead, great surprise to find the Deadnet at UWLive :D
Did you see all the download-mp3s Karl?

[BeautifulBurnout]

Another nice linky today - love the pic of Karl with JP's cans on his head in the UW profile.

Still miss that bloke. :(

i walked passed this mural the other day in Brighton, not really sure how long its been up, but i thought the same - and i thought Karl would like to see it.... so here it is, its a nice tribute

[Techno_Bunny]

new updates in the archive, the picture of the background/floor around the keyboard looks absolutely stunning!
If this is waht's going to be the background of the stage at the new gigs, wowwwwwww man, i could cry now because i can't go:(

[big screen satellite]

Underworld on the culture show in a couple of weeks on the BBC - its a good show - a must watch / record for UK dirts, and i'm sure it'll be on BBC online afterwards - give us another heads up when its nearer the time eh ;)

hey guys did you meet the lovely Lauren Laverne?

[grady]

I'm surprised no one is chatting/conjecturing about today's(11/06/07) image of a camera on a crane shooting....a video perhaps?

also a distinct possibility. I like to think they're up to something that we'll eventually/potentially be seeing.

nice post today from Karl on UWlive... we are still thinking of you guys

good vibes as always from all of us in Dirtyworld

[BeautifulBurnout]

We are all with you, guys. :)

[Leon]

UWlive.com doesn't really mention Rick's condition, so I hope all is fine. Or at least, going to be.

[TheBang]

Yay, glad to hear everything seems to be getting back to normal at the Lemon. Should be a relief to get back to gearing up for a busy rest of the year!

[crank]

yeah, still wondering

[dubman]

i dont think they'd be laughing much if it was still serious in any way.
RELAX

[Dirty0900]

All about the nutz

[testudo]

[big screen satellite]

"The people of Knebworth deserve sun"

But we will dance in the rain anyway. See you later, guys :D

[testudo]

"darc is darc"

This is very sad news, I was certain that croc was darc.

I hope they release darc soon in some way or form. :(

[change]

Darc is 'Darc'
Glam Bucket is 'Glam Bucket'
&
Boy Boy Boy is 'Eager Hot One'
the names have been changed
to protect the innocent
what you are about to see
is a recreation of events
that actually took place

Is that a reference to the 70's (?) TV show 'Dragnet'?

[cheshkat]

can someone please update the link to the forums on the uwlive site please... i got totally lost for a moment there :D

[BeautifulBurnout]

LOL

The Citroen DS is one of my fave cars ever! One day when I have got time or money to spare, I want to get myself one of the black "presidential" ones with the red leather interior. A design classic.

[Dirty0900]

From perou's diary 12/7:


house music all day long

up early for a drive into the deepest, darkest essex countryside to rendezvous with my friends, 'underworld (http://www.underworldlive.com/)' at their secret lair for a first day of photos.

it's a recurring theme in (my) life.

i'm very happy to photograph the people i do over and over again: i think it's a sign i'm doing things right: repeat business is good.

everytime i photograph someone i've photographed before, the pictures have to be (and hopefully always ARE) different.

have to keep on moving.

i LOVE where lemon world is based.
it's easy to feel really connected to the countryside there: it's beautiful.
big skies.
more than at the perou farm, sadly.

[stauff]

Hmm.. typhoons and earthquakes this week in Japan. Hope the boys are enjoying their stay ...

[froopy seal]

Hmm.. typhoons and earthquakes this week in Japan. Hope the boys are enjoying their stay ...As long as they don't sleep or perform in any nuclear power plants...

The creatures in the photos from today and the last two days looked quite happy, so I suppose everything goes well in the Land-of-the-überspecial-super-duper-mega-promo-releases-with-signed-t-shirts-for-free-on-top.

[crank]

would love for the archives to be updated...want to hear the rest of MOSCOW! please boys? a bit of an update? not to beg or anything... ;)

[holden]

Today's post...a video (for the internet) in production by Tomato! :) Very nice tomato site, too!

[Dirty0900]

Must be the video for the new single, from the sounds of it, seems to be in Lemonworld.

[Techno_Bunny]

i'm very touched by today's post

[aNt]

something happening over there?

[TheBang]

Why don't you go find out and then report back? I'll be waiting.

[cheshkat]

i broke it :D;)

[Techno_Bunny]

iloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveiti loveit
I love it!:D

[mmm skyscraper]

From today's picture:

1: a state of being utterly forgotten
2: a state of forgetting everything or of being unaware of surroundings
3: the deliberate overlooking of past offences

What is oblivion?

edit: This was metioned in the 3.0 thread.

"another night listening to 'The Thing Action Jazz' turned up loud - yesss!"

Nice one. I just recently recorded a concert of The Thing with Joe McPhee in Houston. They are probably the loudest "jazz" group out there. One of the best concerts I've been to and since we multitracked it and it was professionally filmed there's a small chance that it will be released sometime in the future.
