[Badger]

[big screen satellite]

whether that means in 'the world' or in the world (i.e. all concentrated in Japan)

seems a small amount...

[undarrenworld]

I hope this is not Japan only, se we can get them:)

[Bargo]

You can order them from the site posted in the link.

I have problems with that site:( I try hard;)

There's a link right down the bottom to convert it all into English. It doesn't work for the underworld page itself, but the whole check-out process and everything else will be in english.. you've just got to click the yellowish buttons for each release to add it into your cart. :)

Underworld release five 12" at the same time!!
Jul. 24 2006 (Mon.)

Underworld release five 12" at the same time, those are remix of only downloaded [RiverRun Project].

These 12"s have a limit to the number of 10,000 sets in the world. (I think 10,000 sets are world wide total amount, then releae amount in Japan is more less than 10,000.) Only in Japan, five 12" release at the same time and very earlier than world wide release.

[RiverRun Project] is a new stile material ,released from Underworld official site download only.'05 Oct.「Lovely Broken Thing」, Nov.「Pizza For Eggs」、'06Jun.「I'm a Big Sister, and I'm a Girl, and I'm a Princess, and This Is My Horse」,these title release with some material、they bring a breath of fresh air and attract tremendous interest to music industry.

Every remixer chosed most interested part of 25 min. [RiverRun Project], they arranged Underworld's sound inimitably and one by one.

And Underworl's arrenged material is included without Play Pig (2)].

These jacket are made by John Warwicker, Tomato's member.

These 12" are interested in not only Underworld's fan, these are rimited release, so maybe you should make reservation early.

[the mongoose]

Too bad no love for Back in the Fears and Food a Ready.....Play Pig and Vanilla Monkey are kinda like b-sides or something IMO.

[Badger]

So Buick Project remixed Play Pig as well as Vanilla Monkey?

May have to order these even though they're from Japan.

They'll be a great birthday present for myself. :)

[TheBang]

Cover art for all 5 is now posted. Me likey. Especially the Play Pig ones.

Um, did anyone else notice that the HMV listings say that the records are from the USA?

"Item sourced from: USA"
"New Limited Edition 12in (USA Import)"

interesting that hadn't noticed....

but on second inspection the remixes of Vanilla Monkey on the Buick Project Production CD i have are infact listed incorrecty and if you listen to the lyrics closely they are in fact Play Pig - so they never remixed VM in the first place... as far as i can tell... they just listed it wrong

:eek: *runs to fix ID3 tags*

[crank]

I'm so confused. Are we going to be able to purchase these here in the states? Why does Japan get all the "cool" stuff? I mean why why why? :D
crank!

[Badger]

Well my wife has just ordered me all 5 12s for my birthday (sept 7th) so with the release date of 26thaug and the postage time they should get here just before it!!! Yay!


Re: Buick Project: Good ears Matt, i was about to listen to them today again and i reckon i still wouldnt have realised. LOL

[negative1]

one more reason to prefer vinyl..
(or at least to me)

i always preferred the artwork on
a bigger format..

although you really can't match the
booklets for the cd's for dubnobasswithmyheadman,
or second toughest in the infants..

[stimpee]

It seems that 1300yen is about £6 or €8.80 which aint bad at all. plus postage of course. i'd love to have all these on 1 or 2 CDs tho. According to the help pages, the postage should be about 2400 yen so it would be about 60euros to get all 5 of them delivered here... 12 euros each, not too bad.

I really doubt if you're going to find these records in shops in the US... I'm just going to buy the imports, just to be safe.

I doubt I'm going to see them on turntablelab's webstore, or find all five at like a Virgin Mega store

[mark3]

...plus customs duties if the package gets caught :eek: Could get really expensive in the end. :)

[dubman]

mmm. i'd like the vanilla monkey one.

not only because i'd love to have a copy of that track by itself, but i also like those remixing it for once.

[big screen satellite]

UK dirts these 12" are coming out in the UK if you are thinking of ordering them from abroad i'd hold back...September 18th 2006 is the scheduled release date

so any euro dirts wanting these it would surely be cheaper to order from the UK than Japan....

[crank]

wonder how much they'll be...any idea?

[big screen satellite]

wonder how much they'll be...any idea?


well i reckon £4.99-£5.99 in the UK...

[big screen satellite]

well in fact - i was wrong and the price listed on the HMV site for pre order of Jal To Tokyo is £3.99, the first UK 12" issue comes out on September 4th 2006...

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/simpleSearch.do?pGroupID=2&btnSubmitSearch.x=25&primaryID=2&simpleSearchString=underworld&btnSubmitSearch.y=13

[TheBang]

Just FYI, for me, it cost about $75 US delivered to order all 5 vinyl from hmv.co.uk (assuming it costs the same as ordering 5 copies of JAL to Tokyo, the only one on the UK site so far).

To order all 5 from hmv.co.jp, it cost about $65 US delivered.

[big screen satellite]

as far as i know these then, are the UK release dates for the 5 x 12" (limited editions):

UWR 008 - JAL TO TOKYO - PAUL WOOLFORD VOCAL REMIX / PAUL WOOLFORD SUNRISE DUB / UNDERWORLD RIVERRUN VERSION - RELEASED 04/09/06 - £3.99

UWR 009 - VANILLA MONKEY - MARTINEZ HUNGRY GHOST REMIX / WIGHOMY & ROBAG WRUHME MOOSMUTZEL REMIX / UNDERWORLD RIVERRUN VERSION - RELEASED 11/09/06 - £3.99

UWR 010 - PLAY PIG - BUICK'S EARLY DOORS MIX / BUICK PROJECT REMIX / UNDERWORLD RIVERRUN VERSION - RELEASED 18/09/06 - £3.99

[stimpee]

These promo CDs on ebay are well expensive. I hope theres some CD release of these tracks, and not spread over 5 CDs either!

[crank]

And How! Please and thank you

[stimpee]

I mean, if lossless CD versions are available in promo, why would it be that only 192kbps mp3 downloads or vinyl be available to ordinary punters? I sincerely hope that this is not the case.

[change]

I sincerely agree, Stimpee. There seems to be a technology gap with these releases.
Vinyl --> __:confused:__ --> MP3

[*_*]

vinyl --> pre-amp/amp --> soundcard!! --> aif/mp3... what have you.

vinyl's better than cd anyhow ;-) ;-)

dude.. i was in the bidding for the 3 cd promo set of remixes last night.. needless to say i lost out.. it ended at ~$160. my high bid with about 20 seconds to go was $150.

[Icke]

vinyl -> ears

;)

[Jan]

I also hope those tracks will be released in some digital format. CD > lossless downloads > lossy downloads as an option.
I don't want to bother with analog vinyl. It may be nice for DJ's and the big format artwork is lovely, but without a decent turntable you are stuck.
When i started collecting Underworld i got a vinyl copy of Change the Weather in good condition and i wanted to record it to my computer (with a preamp). I had to discover that the turntable of my father was not working. After some time i managed to repair it but it was useless. It produced a 50 hz hum that would not go away.
After that i swore i would not pay a cent for vinyl again. :(

[philth]

I also hope those tracks will be released in some digital format. CD > lossless downloads > lossy downloads as an option.


One of the new mixes (Buick Project Remix 2 of Play Pig) is on Beatport at the moment. They do .wav downloads.

Cheers,

Phil

As i mentioned in another thread my 5 12s arrived all nicely sealed from Japan this morning!!

Ooohh yeah.

[jose m]

me too,they are lovely.buy the vinyl it really feels like underworld.:p

[verbal]

Did you all order them from HMV or is there some secret other site I missed?

Since they're Underworld I really want them all but I mainly want JAL. But like I said, sold out. :cry:

[verbal]

Also, anyone know why it says that Play Pig - Buck Project Remix isn't out until Sept. 18th? Some of you said you just received all 5.

And JAL is back in stock. w00t!

[jose m]

a friend who works in hmv uk said they are coming out individually over here.it appears the japs are expected to buy the lot all in one go.

[BrotherLovesDub]

w00t!

happy days are here again. i just bought the set for my b-day!

also added the Japan only Pumped Full of Draggs (lol!) New Order DVD! cha-ching!

[2dreamofluv]

[BeautifulBurnout]

Mmmm... not bad. I have most of these already, but not lossless. Might be worth forking out for. :)

[undarrenworld]

The order of these 12''s was cancelled by the japan hmv without informing me where is the problem. I was really looking forward to these vinyls. I ordere these vinyls first day when they were available to order.
Im paying with my credit card on another sites without any problems.
I have never experienced something like this. Anyone here with bad luck on japan hmv?

[TheBang]

After my order they sent me an e-mail that the shipping charges were higher than the estimate, and I had to respond to affirm that I still wanted it, or the order would be automatically canceled. I responded to confirm, and then they shipped my order. Did you get an e-mail like that and miss it, maybe?

This could be reason.
So I ordered the vinyls again...

[undarrenworld]

odd - No lenne penne 12" remix then...

mmm

still i'll be getting these no matter what:



Did you see that LP track on some white label? There is silence about this track, any news about it?

[Dirty0900]

Got the JAL 12 today and if im being honest, i think i could have spend 3.99 on something else more deserving then 2 remixs that sound very similar.

*Ducks*

[BrotherLovesDub]

yeah, you could have downloaded the files and bought something else. perhaps a happy meal at mcdonalds.

i'm happy to be getting the physical products in my hand, even with the high quality audio files of all the tracks sitting on my HD. money well spent, as far as i'm concerned.

got the email from hmv.jp today that my order has shipped!

Me too! This will be the first vinyl I've ever purchased in my life.

(Um, I don't have anything to play them on. :()

[gaborez]

if you put 12^ vinyl in an oven on a low heat for 2 hours they slowly shrink to the size of cd's so you can play em in a normal cd player :D

honest! ;)

(Um, I don't have anything to play them on. :()

Started like that for me too (got a record I wanted, before buying a turntable).

But it would be equally (or even more) sad to have a turntable without anything to play on it :) .

[TheBang]

Got my vinyl today. They look great. They fit nicely on the shelf next to the laserdiscs. :D

[undarrenworld]

Got all five today.
Thx all for making this real!

[verbal]

Anyone else get the message that one play pig won't be in till the 9/18 and the other 9/25?

[big screen satellite]

Anyone else get the message that one play pig won't be in till the 9/18 and the other 9/25?

thats the schedule as far as i know, 1 x 12" per week

so one set of mixes of play pig will be out first then the others follow the week after....

this is in the UK (japan had all 5 at once)

[BrotherLovesDub]

verbal, i think they'll ship that rec. the same time regardless. my order said that too and it shipped complete.

i took some pics of all my happy records sitting in my happy living room and rotating on my happy turntable. it makes me happy.

Mine arrived 2 weeks ago! Of course, living in Japan probably helped speed things up a bit ;)

BTW - I love what John Warwicker can do with text!!!

Yes, I second that!

[Cadevil]

Spotted Vanilla Monkey at Fopp on Tottenham Court Rd. today...must mean a uwlive.com release is close if the vinyl has been released here in the UK...

Was good to see UW back in the shops again!

[verbal]

When I ordered them on Tuesday it said one wasn't available till 9/18 and another till 9/25. Received shipping confirmation yesterday! :cool:
