New Live CD's - Brixton Academy Oct. 31 & Nov. 1

[TheBang]

I wanted to break this discussion out of the uwlive.com thread, because I think it deserves some more focus.

To recap:

1. New live CD's for the Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 Brixton shows are available for (pre-)order at underworldlive.com. £15 each. These will NOT be available for purchase at the show. Only on the website.
2. Those who order the CD's will be given MP3 download links within hours after the show.
3. The other purchase option for the 2 shows is WAV download which will be available on Nov. 10. £10 each.
4. Underworld will be handling distribution rather than Live Here Now (although I believe LHN is still producing the shows).
5. Old LHN shows from 2007-2008 are also available on underworldlive.com for £12 each.

Now, UW seems to have addressed a lot of the concerns (complaints?) that were voiced in the previous live cd thread (http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/showthread.php?t=6794). First of all, there is a download option now with the WAV's. Also, the added bonus of immediate MP3 downloads for those who purchased the CD's. Well done, I say.

Also, there's the distribution of the CD's being handled themselves (or rather, a fulfillment company), rather than the mess that Live Here Now left. I assume this is the same company that's been fulfilling orders for the rest of the merchandise on the underworldlive.com Shop, and I believe everyone that's ordered stuff so far (The Bells The Bells, etc.) has been happy with it? And it came much faster than the 3-20 weeks that LHN took?

Regarding the pricing, for the WAV download, I think it's fair. To compare, Pearl Jam was charging US$15 for FLAC shows during 2005-6 and Depeche Mode charged US$20 for lossy downloads of their 2006 shows. So I think Underworld's pricing falls fairly in there. For the CD's, £15 seems a tad high, but really nothing to complain about or make me not want to buy them. The older shows at £12 each now though are certainly more attractive. And I guess we have to remember the £15 shows come with the immediate MP3 gratification now too.

The only suggestion I have is regarding the WAV's. Pretty much all players support losslessly compressed audio these days. I don't see any reason why these shouldn't be offered in FLAC and Apple Lossless formats. If those 2 formats were offered, I think it would cover 99% of computers and mobile players, and everyone would save about 50% in disk space and bandwidth. And by offering those formats, they can also be distributed with metadata that WAV doesn't support, like Song and Artist tags and song and album artwork.

I have a feeling the Brixton shows will be something special. I'm jealous of those that get to go, and happy that those that can't go can buy the CD's.

November first I am getting married... UW will be played at the wedding... My fiancee and I may even fly right after the wedding to see this show...

Nice one! Congrats and great choice of wedding tunes.possible honeymoon stop!

As for the latest LHN recording, i'd go for that WAV option. Not placing too much confidence in the delivery of the discs on time. i'm happy to burn my own. ;)

[TheBang]

But . . . the artwork. :( And besides, it should be fine with LHN no longer handling distribution.

Thank you very much... It would be nice if Karl and Rick give a shout out! its looking more and more like we will have a honeymoon stop at the show!

maybe they'll have a pdf or something for the cover, or notes..
it shouldn't be that hard to find..

Congrats Testudo! I will be there on the 1st and would be delighted to buy you and your intended a drink to celebrate! :D

[TheBang]

A PDF is no substitute for cold, hard matter, IMO.

[dubman]

A PDF is no substitute for cold, hard matter, IMO.
this times infinity. i dont understand how a pdf replaces real product.

[negative1]

this times infinity. i dont understand how a pdf replaces real product.

so why do we put up with that for the book of jam?

it doesn't replace it, who said that? it is something that
fills the gap, instead of having nothing...

they're perfectly fine, if you want to print out your own..
and want to save money, etc..

that being said, its a trade off...get it directly downloaded,
without the risk ....

or pray, that your order will actually make it out to you.. hopefully
the same year..

[dubman]

are we perfectly fine with book of jam pdfs? or do we always rather wish that it would all see the light of day in physical format, whether collected or individually?
i mean that pretty much proves my point, people are alwyas asking for a print version, and it's only not happening with more people because we secretly think a physical version will surface sooner or later.

and again, this is through uwlive.com.
not LHN
LHN doesn't even sell them anymore.
i live 70 miles away from the goddamn pacific and my socks got there well within 14 days.
you're shelling out a tenner for the wav just so that you can hold a bootleg product.
i mean do what you want, by all means, but assuming that a pdf and home printing is a decent stand in for the real thing is going 64kbps on the visual

[TheBang]

so why do we put up with that for the book of jam?
Some of us don't. ;)

and again, this is through uwlive.com.
not LHN
LHN doesn't even sell them anymore.

Even the LHN site directs you to uwlive.com now:
http://www.liveherenow.com/Artistbio.asp?ArID=205

I'd like to think it's because UW wanted to resolve the distribution problems with LHN, but whatever the reason, fulfillment should no longer be the nightmare it was earlier this year.

[negative1]

i hope you guys are right..

but i'm not going to hold my breath...

i've been burned before.. maybe you guys were lucky..

i'm going to wait it out, to see what really happens..

[DwarfeD]

Just pre-ordered the upcoming shows, hope indeed that it will something special!
Along with those I ordered the Brussels and Rotterdam shows from last year, nice we can order all those old ones now from UWlive. Oh and the socks, didn't know they were actualy for sale. Can't wait to actualy were them :)

I don't see why anything should go wrong this time, when they sold the Tokyo-discs a couple of years ago through eBay everything went fine as well, so don't understand the worries mentioned above... (guess I understand -1 nick a bit more...)

[dubman]

ordered both brixton sets plus the last london one.
i have some catching up to do...

[TheBang]

Full cover art for the first night's gig up at Tomato. Looks lovely.

http://www.tomato.co.uk/wp-content/2008/10/081028underworld1.jpg

[industri_studios]

Well - if this adds to anyone's concerns - I ordered 3 of the shows shortly BEFORE the site went down for maintenance for a couple days and still haven't received them.

What's that, now? 2-3 weeks anyways... I'm in Canada, don't really care, but it has been a little on the slower side. No biggie, IMHO, but passing this along for an FYI to anyone who IS concerned with slow delivery.

[Sukebe]

so when purchased, you download the mp3s of the show as posted on the site, and receive the CDs in physical format through the post?

or just the mp3s become available?

(sorry, first time poster)

[TheBang]

For the Brixton shows only, yes, if you pre-order the CD's, you get the MP3's for download hours after the gig finishes, and then the CD's show up in the mail a week or two later.

Alternatively for the Brixton shows, instead of ordering the CD's, you can wait until Nov. 10, and buy the WAV files online.

[Sukebe]

thanks for clearing that up :D

[potatobroth]

ooh exciting! can't wait to see/hear how this pre-order stuff pans out! hope yer all enjoying the show!

[Badger]

Any idea of when the mp3's will be ready? The setlist looked awesome. Can't wait to get the proper cd's.

[grady]

I think patience is going to be a requirement at this time in the night/morning/next few days.

[Badger]

I know. I'm just impatient. Plus I'm in Oz so was hoping they might appear before my weekend was over so i could listen to them properly. ;)

[dubman]

it was either going to go swimmingly
or
there was going to be delays.
so
patience everyone

[TheBang]

Yes, despite my trying not to get my hopes up, I've been checking every half hour or so. I'm beginning to suspect that maybe Rick needs sleep for tomorrow's show and/or there is insufficient Internet access to get it uploaded to the server. So, I'm thinking it's possible we might not see anything until Sunday. But I'm sure they will get it to us as soon as they possibly can.

[SSR]

Anyone know exactly what section of your account the download will appear in?

[negative1]

hate to say it,

but why am i not suprised at the delay..

i think they were a little too ambitious in their plans..

this.

Time for patience :)

EDIT: front page just updated, but still no links. anxiously excited!

[potatobroth]

UWlive is back up. There is an image of which can be downloaded that says:

"1st November 2008. Pre-Order bonus material available to download by 9am (GMT) 2nd November."

by definition, that's still 'just hours after' :P

I'd wager there might be some confusion now that I reread the graphic. Not sure if that is referring to the Nov 1st show, or that today is Nov 1st and both downloads will be available that time.

[aNt]

hello- should be there now,
it was my bug sorry everyone
if you have any hassles with it just pm me
(maybe slow coss of traffic for a bit).

seemed the link didnt refresh from the server magic, oops.

if you preordered todays gig you should see a placeholder download- it should get update tonight to the real deal just like magic.
(puts the 'fatface tune' back in its cover)...

[potatobroth]

hey ant,
are you saying that last night's show should be up for pre-order download now? still not seeing it.

[BrotherLovesDub]

i just pre-ordered both nights at Brixton ($58USD). looking forward to hearing the shows now. Peach Tree is one of my favs and the version in Brussels could have started off a bit smoother. Hopefully this one will have a clean intro without galloping beats cluttering the start.

[aNt]

when you login, it should be in your download list on your account page.

[dubman]

i guess i'll find this out in another 5 min but..

isnt that zip file a bit small for 2.25 hrs of gig?

edit: well i imagine some other people are wondering so some info

Bonus mp3 is all-in-one peice lasting 2:18:54 called "Live from Brixton Academy, 31st October 2008"
the quality is like that of a pretty decent bootleg. 96kbps.

[grady]

Hmm. It's not appearing on my list at the moment.

[TheBang]

Ditto. I have a placeholder for Nov. 1 show, and nothing for Oct. 31.

Edit: Sound like potatobroth has the same as me.

Tracklist is up. Same as posted in the Moments thread:

http://www.underworldlive.com/liverecordings/081031-brixton.html

[grady]

I have neither on my list.

[aNt]

if you could pm me your underworld email grady i'll sort it asap.

[grady]

thank you aNt.

[Badger]

I've downloaded my mp3 twice and it keeps freezing everytime i try to play it, with any application. :(

[Badger]

Right, I have now downloaded the mp3 for the 3rd and final time and it still will not play on my machine. Is there any Dirts out there who could PM me and send me a working mp3 please? I will send you a screen shot to prove i have paid for the cds in the first place from my account in Underworldlive.

I don't know why the mp3 isn't playing either.

Please Help Me.

[Yannick]

what are you using ?

[Badger]

Have just tried the mp3 on another machine and it's working fine on that. Still don't know why it's working on my main comp but who cares?

So everythings fine now. All good. Very happy.

:D

Thanks Yannick.

[BrotherLovesDub]

i too have spent the money but i'm not going to complain because i realize it's 1 or 2 people working on this, not a whole company. i also realize i paid the money for the CD's, not the downloads. the downloads are a gift, a freebie.

[TheBang]

aNt has offered several times to fix your downloads if you PM him your underworldlive.com account e-mail address. He fixed mine within an hour, so if you haven't contacted him, I don't think you have anything to complain about.

[potatobroth]

yep. thanks aNt, mine worked after you last PMd me. Very excited to give it a listen! Oh, and of course, great thanks to Underworld for making this happen! I'd consider 12 hours certainly within the allotted range! You guys rocked yet again!

Question, are the discs going to sound like the other LHN discs or is this the basic quality. Just wondering before I move this to all my i-accessories :)

[grady]

I wouldn't say it's complaining, just wanting to hear the shows. The freebie is a preview of our tangible discs we'll all get. I understand aNt is one of two or three facilitating this and I'm very appreciative of the assistance he offered.

[nosajmunson]

I had problems. I PM'ed aNt and all is good.

THANKS aNt.

[aNt]

next gig should be up ;) any hassles just splash me a PM and i'll be on it...

[TheBang]

Wow, that was FAST! Thanks UW and aNt! Downloading now. It replaced the placeholder link with no problem. It's an 87.7 MB zip file.

[Badger]

Lovely stuff. Thanks everyone involved. Really looking forward to getting the cds and adding to my "Underworld Live 2007-2008" CD shelf! :D

[SSR]

Worked smoothly for me. Thanks aNt! (and Underworld!)

[potatobroth]

im not seeing the second gig yet.

EDIT: I lied. Its under the same link as the placeholder image was. sweet work, aNt.

[Flywaver]

I can only extract the first gig.......Strange :confused:

[crazysugarboy]

Lovely stuff. Thanks everyone involved. Really looking forward to getting the cds and adding to my "Underworld Live 2007-2008" CD shelf! :D

Me too Badger! They look so pretty on the shelf, with the different colored spines of the cases merging together:)

[dubman]

is the server still being pummeled to death right now? i've tried and tried and im not getting any speed higher than 1.5 kb/sec presently.
it's... aggravating

edit: ah success

[xlr8r]

i preoredered both the cds and i get the link to download only the 2nd gig :confused:

[Flywaver]

i preoredered both the cds and i get the link to download only the 2nd gig :confused:

Send a Pm to aNt. I had same problem but with second gig. Says it was Bad Char in file name.

[potatobroth]

i was getting ~80k/sec.
Seemed like the server was caching all the links in my particular case. Worked fine after aNt did some db magic.

[markygee]

Saw em on friday @ Brixton...amazing.

Pre-ordered my CD on underworldlive.com...but can't find any audio to download...
i know Im gonna get the CD but I just can't wait :D

Where would the downloadable audio be?
Clicked MY ACCOUNT and there only pdfs to download.

er...yeah
help?

[sbommer]

I had the bad character problem and a missing pre-order, but a PM to aNt solved everything.
The download speed is a bit slow so I guess 'patience' is the essential word here.

I just finished listening to the Oct. 31st show and now I'm looking forward to the 2nd show. The setlist looks quite interesting....

[dubnobasswithme]

i had great d/l speeds here in the states. nabbed both shows in ~8 minutes or so. not sure why some are having more luck compared to others...

[Flywaver]

Anyone recieved the pre-ordered CDs yet? I am trying to be patient with the Postman! Got alot of back issues coming as well. May as well order desert :D

[Vectorman0]

I think it is much too soon to be expecting them. I wasn't expecting them to be mastered and ready to ship until the 10th, and that is at the very earliest. (I think this is a date the UWLive shop listed, maybe for the .wav downloads) If the downloads aren't going to be ready by then, I really doubt that the CD's will.

[BrotherLovesDub]

i expect the tracking will be better this time.

[aNt]

any missing goods just pump me a PM - and i'll have a look. there was a bit of an outage and the server went bingo- not lost anyones stuff, just the downloader went wonky. it doesnt take me a sec to see if you have stuff, and i can add your missing goodness in a point and click!

dont forget - you had to have 'preordered' to get the download. people that order the none preorder sorry you missed the madness this time around.

[Liverpool Street]

I got my CD of 1st November concert today in the post. Extremely happy and surprised at how quickly it's arrived! :)

[TheBang]

Are the CD's pressed or CD-R's? What are the catalog numbers? Thanks.

[dubman]

whoa you mean i might actually get them sometime next week?
crazy!

[Liverpool Street]

They are proper pressed CDs, exactly the same as the ones I have for The Roundhouse in February. The spine is a dark blue/green on the Nov 1st CD. Where do I find the catalogue numbers?? Would it be GB871A0660780 & GB871A0724480 which is printed on the actual CD????

Think the number is UWRLIVECD-016. Sound right?

I think TheBang was asking if the actual data was pressed, not the artwork. If I remember correctly, the only other live CD that was pressed was the Oblivion Ball CD; all of the Live Here Now CD's I received are CD-R's.

[Liverpool Street]

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't understand that! Bit too technical for me!

[crazysugarboy]

I am wondering whether the Live Here Now discs are in fact dvd-r's, owing to their blue coloration on the playing side. (As opposed to a pure silver coloration on cd-r's I buy for mix cds and copying photos) The dvd-r's I buy for tv progs are defo blue-y on the playing side

[TheBang]

No, they're CD-R. If they were DVD-R, they wouldn't play in CD players. I've seen all kinds of CD-R colors over the years. Light green, dark green, gold, black, blue. DVD-R's are usually purple.

[mgbrowne]

There feckin CD's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rog]

i don't understand all this technical bollox at this moment in time:D

who gives one eh?:p

[Dirty0900]

Haha, music comes out of them is all I know.

[Geo]

There feckin CD's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, as burned cd's (cd-r) will degenerate over the years...

[Spooky Shoes]

Not really, as burned cd's (cd-r) will degenerate over the years...

Taiyo Yuden like the previous LHN CDs will last at 50yrs and probably longer than traditional stamped CDs.

[Geo]

Aha, that's good to know :)

Thanks!

[dubman]

both of them came in the mail today along with two nifty postcards. one is a warwicker painting saying how tonights show would be recorded, and the other is karl doodling on the perou photo about the groove. nice.

i havent seen anyone say theyve gotten theirs yet so i guess i'll post the info about them...

SO
the cds arent pressed but burned, and the sound quality on the first gig is a bit more muddled and distanced than usual, but nothing to really complain about.

Glad to hear they arrived - sounds like a nice package!

-Weren't the wavs supposed to be purchaseable/downloadable on UWLive yesterday (10-11-08)? Really want to get a closer listen to Strumpet! :D

[Dirty0900]

Glad to hear they arrived - sounds like a nice package!

-Weren't the wavs supposed to be purchaseable/downloadable on UWLive yesterday (10-11-08)? Really want to get a closer listen to Strumpet! :D

Can we d/l individual tracks or does it have to be the whole shabang? Im really just interested in ALAF and Strumpet. Have most tracks played on various bootlegs or LHN purchases, personally I dont want to pay for stuff all over again:)

[joethelion]

so - I'm mostly just after "Strumpet" and "Always Loved a Film" ...

and both tracks were played at Brixton Academy, London, England, 01.11.2008

...is there anything very "special" about the 31.10.2008 show? I mean, I've already got a LHN recording of "Dirty Epic" (and "Banstyle") from earlier in the tour

...aaaaannnnd if the first show doesn't have sound that's quite as good as the others....


(edit)
and I can't seem to find the actual link for the WAV download, but I'm not too worried about it
it is early - and I'm not gonna be able to listen to the concert till after I take my GRE's in about an hour and a half

[dubman]

you guys are goofy.
it sounds like you should take a break from live shows althogether
i mean listen to yrselves.
what'd i say about the audio quality? yes, its a little less crisp but i figured as long as i was talking to archivists i'd observe that. it still sounds amazing.

[holden]

Agree with Dubman. I'd rather hear the whole concert to get the tracks in context, with their unique transitions and any special improvs. Plus, the order of at least the first show's setlist looked interesting/random/different than the usual.
yeah, you guys should know that no two UW concerts are the same. No matter how many times you've heard NUXX, it's arrival in the context of the show as a complete event always brings the chills :D

Still, i'm most interested in hearing Strumpet for the newness of it (yes, i know it's been kicking around for years. But the 2000 Electraglide version sounds very different than what i could majke out from the video on RTSR).

[joethelion]

well -

I'm DEFINITELY going to be getting an entire show... not just individual tracks (that would be just crazy)

But - my plan on buying these actual LHN cd's is thus:
I'm only buying shows with 'unique' set lists, that have "new songs" or improv's that aren't that common

what I meant about the show from the 10th was... well - wouldn't you guys agree with me that some shows (while yes, everyone is UNIQUE in of themselves) are not quite as 'special' as others

like while you might have three shows from the same tour that all have ...say "Push Upstairs" for example - one version might have a cool poem before it or a weird breakdown in the middle - while the other two might sound pretty similar amongst each other

make sense?

AND I FINALLY GOT DONE WITH MY GRE!!!!!
(yes, I'm lame and the first thing I did after I got home was check on this MB - I need to just shut off my thinking)

[dubman]

congrats!

yeah i get that.
in an ideal world, i'd have all 15 LHN cds, but out of necessity i have to pick and choose, so i got manchester because it had the best guitar for glam bucket and bamboo. and roundhouse 2 because i saw it happening online and it was amazing, and roundhouse 4 because the playlist was great. im also planning amsterdam, koln, and brussels because they look like great sets too. (and any of those people really recommend. guys?)

i preordered the brixton shows because it just felt like it'd be something special. and it was. oich oich, original born slippy, peach tree, banstyle, parc, dirty epic, spoonman, and the two new excellent ones.

[crazysugarboy]

congrats!

yeah i get that.
in an ideal world, i'd have all 15 LHN cds

Have I missed one cos, as someone who has a full set (12 on the shelf and 2 Brixtons on order), I count only 14 :confused:

[BrotherLovesDub]

did you get the Tokyo show?

[dubman]

oops hes right. i jsut assumed that since it started at uwrlivecd-002 and we're now at 16 there was 15 but there isnt. including the tokyo show theres 14.

[TheBang]

don't forget, there were some cancelled shows, and there are 2 shows labeled -013.

[Mr.Grumpy]

two shows labeled -007 you mean?

[TheBang]

No (http://www.darktrain.org/dirty/forums/showpost.php?p=80774&postcount=21)

But I know what you mean. That show, London 28.02.2008, has -007 incorrectly on the packaging, but it does have the correct -014 number on the disc labels. On the other hand, there are two shows with -013.

[Spooky Shoes]

Just got round to ordering the CD's... Need some new shelves now.

[Mr.Grumpy]

ok, so am i missing a show? which ones are labeled -013?

Gent 10-11-2007
&
?

[TheBang]

Well, it's right there in my link, but it's The Oblivion Ball.

[Bongo]

Are these coming to the underworldlive site digital download shop? 10/11/08 has been and gone, and I'm dieing to hear what Peach Tree is like live.

[spacejunk]

Congrats to aNt (and co.) on getting these out real quick. Got mine today. Very much appreciated.

[crazysugarboy]

My two arrived today (listening/re-living no.2 as I type) I am loving new track Strumpet (new to me anyway) - it has that dark, haunted Eastern European pine forest vibe that I sooo adore, shared with Skym and Something Like a Mama from BF, and parts of I'm a Big Sister ep

These (almost) instant live playback cds are just fantastic! It's been great to hear Spoonman in full - on the night, at that point, I just HAD to take a pee break - 2 pints of cider with King of Snake and Stimpee in the pre-gig pub, plus an extra one in the academy, took its toll - lol

[TheBang]

These (almost) instant live playback cds
Actually, they're live here now. instant live (http://instantlive.shop.musictoday.com/) is a competitor. ;)

[crazysugarboy]

Actually, they're live here now. instant live (http://instantlive.shop.musictoday.com/) is a competitor. ;)

No offence TheBang but I know that. What I meant was that these live cds are almost "instant" i.e. at previous gigs, you could pick them up 15 mins or so after the gig finished.

And who is "instantlive"?? Once upon a time we had....

[frazh]

Does anyone know the status of Instant Live and whether they are still doing shows? I can't find anything on their website recorded after 2005.

my discs arrived today! loving strumpet! has anyone done the lyrics?

[TheBang]

No offence TheBang but I know that.
I know what you meant. I was simply being pedantic and silly, hence the ;)

[crank]

ehm so weren't there supposed to be WAV's posted for download on the 10th?

[BrotherLovesDub]

i need artwork for both of these, anybody got the images?

edit: night 1 is here: http://www.tomato.co.uk/wp-content/2008/10/081028underworld1.jpg

requires some editing though, anybody got Brixton 1/11/08 art?

[Troy McClure]

I haven't received mine in the mail yet. My mailman must grooving to them in his delivery truck.

Anyone know the answer to this? I myself was waiting for the WAV downloads. On UW Live, if you go to the shop and the CD/Vinyl/DVD section, it says that the live at Brixton recordings will be up as WAV downloads on 10/11/08...that being a few days ago. It gives a link, and it brings you to the digital downloads area of the shop, and the Brixton shows aren't there. What is going on?

[monochrome]

Did anybody who ordered both live CDs get them delivered separately? I ordered both and was surprised to just get 10/31 in the mail the other day. If you have any ideas let me know.

[TheBang]

Anyone know the answer to this?
The answer is yes, they were supposed to be available on the 10th, but they haven't been for unknown reasons. I would assume that they will appear at some point.

[potatobroth]

im still eagerly waiting on either show! ooh can't wait!

hmmm no i got them in a long box.

[Georg.]

Still no sign of both CD sets for me in Germany!

:-((

Now I understand why they gave us the pre-order downloads, but I can't wait to listen to the CDs.
Another weekend without them...

I feel your pain. I am waiting for the CD's to hear strumpet for the first time. (even though I have the bonus download version)

Thank you!
Now I know that I am not alone...
Tomorrow's a new day for my Underworld CDs to arrive.
:rolleyes:

Got both nights in one package on Friday (to Poland)

Great setlist. New stuff and Pearl's Girl with synth sweeps! I've noticed a disturbing tendency to leave them out recently despite the fact that the synth sweeps are what make Pearl's Girl so special and put UW among Gods.

No Juanita!:(

Anyone who reckons the sound quality is "amazing" is mistaken. It's way below the quality of the re-scheduled Roundhouse show and Oblivion Ball. Muffled and rumbly. The Roundhouse recordings even capture the crowd better (including that goon who keeps going "ooooooooo-OOOOOOOOO" every so often;))

[Flywaver]

Pearls Girl certainly benefits from the synth sweeps but.......................
I love the kickass version on the 2006 Nicecast audio cast.
Blistering pace. I noticed at the Brussels gig this year there was a similar version albeit slowed down as i dont think we will ever see a Pearls Girl speed live like the Nicecast!

[TheBang]

Here's your answer on the Brixton downloads:

http://www.underworldlive.com/shop

Service Update: We are currently installing new servers to help us manage the demand for delivery of digital products. As a result we are delaying adding the Brixton Academy CD Quality Downloads to the shop until the servers are installed and have been tested. Please accept our apologies.

Not surprising, as each download would be over 1 GB.

[Badger]

Well i received my two lovely cds today, in Australia, Which i think is pretty good going. Better than the wait from LiveHereNow. Although i never really had any problem with them.

Looking sexy on the shelf with the other 12 live discs and sounding great through my new stereo too.

I'm a happy Badger. :D

[luminary]

Just got my disc of the Nov 1st gig. First listen under way

Woot!

:)

Cant wait to see them in early January

[potatobroth]

just got mine as well! so happy.

for those that asked, they are a bit less crisp than the first bunch of LHN discs (sounds like the middles are muddy?) but still very listenable.

[nosajmunson]

Just got both sets today. Love the Post Cards they came with.

[Rog]

just got my oct 31st gig.......love it!;)

[Squidge]

Hello everyone, I'm new here but a big fan of the band.

I was there on Halloween and ordered the CD shortly afterwards, I'm yet to receive it or any links to the MP3's.

Is there a problem with the orders?

[TheBang]

No problems with the orders. You only received the MP3 download links if you PRE-ordered the CD's.

If it's been longer than like 3 weeks, and you haven't received anything, then you should make an inquiry. Either sales@underworldlive.com or support@underworldlive.com should be able to help (I forget which).

[TheBang]

The two Brixton gigs are now available for download purchase in CD (WAV) quality:

http://www.underworldlive.com/shop/digital-audio.html

They are being fulfilled through Live Here Now's servers, rather than through underworldlive.com.

They cost £12 each, instead of the originally announced £10; however, they also come with "an exclusive poster designed by John Warwicker." I assume this is not a physical poster you receive, but rather a digital one included with the download, most likely of the album artwork.

[qirex]

Oh man, too much to buy!!

[DaddyAdv]

It's 10 pounds for me, making 12,06 Euros.
/edit: downloading the second gig now, it's one big 1,2 GB file, smooth at 800kb/sec

/edit2: worked all perfectly for me, the poster is a 8MB JPG in the black and white scratchy style.
Also included is a high quality PDF of the Cover
sound quality is crisp, although I think the put a bit too much of the ambience mic on it, so you get a bit more reverb compared to earlier LiveCD.
But hey, maybe this increases the live experience ;)

[TheBang]

Oh yeah, looks like they fixed the price to 10 pounds.

[King of Snake]

yeah i got an email from liveherenow
You are receiving this email because you have purchased an Underworld
download, there was an error on the price, it should be £10. You will be
refunded the difference shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience.now downloading the 01-11 gig (i thought that was the better of the two) :)

[King of Snake]

btw all the files i downloaded had .mp3 file extensions even though they are actually .wav
I had to rename all the files to get them to work :rolleyes:

[swannman]

Does anyone else's downloaded .wav copy of Two Months Off from the Oct 31 date have dropouts?

Mine has stutters between 00:19 and 00:35 as though the source CD was scratched.

[TheBang]

Do the Brixton downloads have a catalog number?

you are lucky DaddyAdv. i have been trying for days to get the downloads to work. it seems the LiveHereNow servers have a timeout set and they don't support resume. still waiting on them for a solution to the whole zip download problem...

[DaddyAdv]

You can also download the single tracks, just have to rename them from .mp3 to .wav, as King of Snake pointed out some post above.

[worldzfree]

i ended up downloading the individual tracks. would be nice to get the artwork that was included with the larger zip. well, can anyone at least link me to the album art from these two shows? i like to put the artwork in mp3 files.
