Re: "last Underworld only shows...for a really long time"

That interview is great. Sounds like they are going to be flat out.. Shame I can't see them play again for the end of this your, but looking forward to their new projects..

For those that haven't clicked...

Any other festival dates you've got lined up for next year?
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot, I saw the initial sheet which is all kind of pencilled in and there's a lot. It's going to take us all over the world again. There's a lot of countries that we're going to need to visit once more.

You've done work with Eno and Mark Knight's Toolroom what was that like?
We're still working together. We're working on quite a lot of projects, there's several albums being remixed as we speak for release from the work that we've done (with Eno), both with our ensemble 'Pure Scenius' where we played Sydney Opera House and again in Brighton. There is hours and hours of material there, and I've also recorded about 18-2o hours of material just between the two of us. There is a lot of material still to come out, and once we've finished this tour, I'm going to go back into a studio and continue the projects we've done together.

Lastly, if you had two months off, starting in the morning, what would you do with it?
I know exactly what I'm going to do, because it's booked. It's a fantastic project the Rick and I are recording through December and January which you will know about soon. We're really, really excited about it.

Well that's a relief.

I did not realise that - I guess with living in the UK it was easy to hop over to the mainland to catch a gig anyway.

Believe me, I am thankful. But for me, Underworldlive is such a big part of the whole Underworld package that I would be sad if it disappeared again for a few years or even worse for much longer. And of course they need to have a break. Everyone needs a break at some point.

But from the interview and diaries (yesterdays diary again) I just feel that they will do these final own shows, and then a massive festival run next year which kind of feels like a farewell run. I point again to quotes again about doing things they have not been able to do for 20 years and visiting counties 'once more'. I think they will be involved in loads of projects which I am really excited about, I'm just not sure if I'll ever be rucking up to Brixton for a gig that ends in a barn-storimg Moaner at 2am.

I write this hoping I am wrong, and that you are right!!!

Re: "last Underworld only shows...for a really long time"

yeah, this is disappointing. I've been a UW fan for about 10 years now and yet they've never come anywhere within 500 miles of me (and I live in the US!!) Come back soon...

Re: "last Underworld only shows...for a really long time"

They've never come within 500 miles of me either. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
