It sounds like they took someone elses material and added a bit to it.

well that's because that's exactly what they did.

I'd love to hear their remix of Risingson played live, somewhere - does anybody know if there are bootlegs out there with it available? (...) mix of Leave Home (...)

Right. That to me is more the realm of remix and I wouldn't want to hear it live. Dunno, its just my personal preference. I'd rather hear UW original tracks. Like I said, it wouldn't stop me going to a show, not by a long shot. :)

My tiniest of fears is that Barking will sound too much like this to me. I doubt it but the tiny fear is still there.

Try handbrake, probably the best free one out there.

Cheers, lectoid! That helped, a lot - managed to size it down to a hundred megaytes, which even my shitty connection could handle :D

Sorry for the delay in uploading (it's been a really awful, busy week), but finally: here is Diamond Jigsaw, live in Melbourne, 13/06/10. Please excuse my yelling with excitement.

Also! I found out the day before yesterday John Warwicker was doing a talk at RMIT Uni in Melbourne for the Australian Graphic Design Association about his book, The Floating World, so I went and picked myself up a last minute ticket and went. I got into the theatre a little early, and Warwicker jokingly told me and the two other guys who were in to get out. Then he noticed the 'lgr lgr lgr' bag I scored at Winter Sound System, and asked me how Underworld were on Sunday. Cue me pissing my pants with glee, and chatting to him for a few minutes about Underworld and the new album. Apparently he caught up with them while they were in Sydney and they were pretty amped for the Australia tour. Yay for them <3

(Warwicker's talk, for those curious, was great: while I haven't been able to pick up a copy of The Floating World due to poor, it was great to hear him talk about the process of putting it together and how Tomato worked overall. Weird discoveries: the credits for Trainspotting were in fact put together in ten minutes with a photocopier, and Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You, the typographic journal, was a rush job done for a gig Underworld were doing in London, I think - instead of knocking together some shirts for it, they decided to put together a typographic journal, and completed it over the course of three days. THREE DAYS. Jesus. My mind was blown.)

which appears to work like this: aNt and co just sit with their adidases on desks and chuck stuff together 10 minutes before the deadline - typical creatives!!!

Thank you Unwound... OK I am not freaking out anymore (PVD intervention)

Seriously, miki you are very very lucky. John Warwicker is one of the most interesting people i know, i would really like the chance to meet him one day.. i like the interview he did that is on the onyx pearls tomato dvd.

Having said that, im a little suprised that you would think that skyscraper took anything more than 3 days to make.... it is quite random, chopped up and it doesnt look like the kind of thing that was planned and created with a vision... the notes in there seem like things collected over time, underworld talk in the making.. ;)

Nevertheless it is a unique masterpiece, and takes pride of place in my collection...

The design's a bit messy, sure, but that's what makes it so compelling - it feels deliberate, like they're trying to emulate the visually-busy nature of the city, and it looks beautiful, not like it was a rush job at all!
