hu-fucking-rah - Royal Mail finally delivered me the beauty (it really is) today - for the record the week long delay was Royal Mail not underworldlive.com. I have closure :) and i like it

Received mine in the SF Bay Area yesterday (Friday). Beautiful set...reading the notes on each song is really cool...love the signed print (#67 btw). The hand harkens back to the dubno artwork.

Got mine today. Southern Michigan, in case others in the midwest are waiting. Art print #111.

CD2 arrived with severe smudges and scratches. Not good. Listening to it now, no problems noticed so hopefully it's okay. The way the discs are packaged is not really too great, they're pretty loose.

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
odd to hear Wiglaf. I thought the exact opposite of the packaging: Thought the DISC's were given the care and love they deserve...

Mine arrived in NC, USA today. Print is number 74 or 75, can't remember now that it's not in front of me.

At first, I only ordered this for the 3 discs. Now that I've had it in my hands I really like the artwork and effort put in to it all.

Mine arrived today, courtesy of Amazon.co.uk (and minus the signed art print... I don't mind too much, the signature's are clearly embedded in the music).

Oh, I'm in Atlanta USA.

Looks and feels lovely, sounding great so far (CD1, Track 2!)

Mine arrived in Houston, Texas yesterday, and it is glorious! Much nicer and bigger than expected. Great artwork! Currently enjoying the Alternate mix CD and DVD! Love you, Underworld

Still dont have it :(

Wiglaf 09-18-2010 07:48 PM

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Well, CD2, despite appearances, is fine.

But I have another complaint.

WHY ISN'T THE MIDDLE AGED MEN VERSION OF ALAF ON THE DVD?!?! That video is hilarious, but no, we get some kid building a tiny barn frame. Or a bored kid and fruit on a pedestal. Not being one of those artist-types, it's all nonsense to me. Oh well. At least the music's good.

Based on the description of the video at uwlive:

http://www.underworldlive.com/news/n...e.asp?DID=1488

It sounds like this video was an unplanned one, and too late to include on the album.

Mind blowing package - spent my birthday hanging out in NYC with my girls- checking the art, visit to lady liberties crown, arrived home to Barking....what a day! Thanks UW & crew

Just when all hope was lost, it finally fucking arrived today. As others have stated above, the package is lush as fuck and almost pukingly artsy fartsy. The art print was nicer than I thought it would be. Everything is colorful and crisp. The alternate cd is a blast, as is the DVD. Discovered the surprise hidden instrumental tracks too...very fucking clever hiding place.;)

Finally some non-blurry shots of the beast for those still waiting in shity ass angst and frustration:

That type of rubbery "spindle" is used quite a bit nowdays. You kind of have to use a fingernail to coax it up through the hole, but when you do, the discs will be snug and stay put.

Hidden what? Hidden where? Please provide a bit of clue for the clueless.

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Okay I'll spill the beans on the secret instrumentals....:D

If you just watch the video DVD on a regular store bought DVD player, the credits (featuring instrumental Moon in Water) roll and then you are taken back to the main title menu.

But...if you put that DVD into your computer's DVD-ROM drive and view the actual VOB file for the credits section, you'll see that the video extends after the credits to include a bunch of exclusive photos that are set to instrumental versions of Lousiana and Grace. Running time for the audio rip of the 3 track "Barking Instrumental Medley" is 11:12 total.

If anyone really really can't find it and needs additional help shoot me a PM and I'll try to make it a bit easier for you.;)

no need to mess about with VOBs, just go to extras and watch the slideshow!

An Aussie dirt just got his boxset w/ limited edition print (UW shop). It’s been a while since a box set has given such excitement, like obliterating Christmas wrapping when you were a kid, scratching each layer to reveal the goodies inside! This is going straight to the pool room :)

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
So all those who got in on the second restocking will probably be recieving thiers sometime this week? Just curious. I ordered mine on the 5th of this month, a US resident in NV, from underworldlive.com. Those US people didn't ever recieve a confirmation of shipment, I'm assuming? I hope mine goes out this week...

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
considering i ordered a few days before the release date and the charge showed up in my statement just a few days ago, i'm guessing i'm one of those that will be getting his box set really late.:(

I ordered mine on August 8th from underworldlive.com. Still no sign of it. :|

I ordered mine July 26 and no sign yet of it. Not even tracking info which would ease my fears a bit. :(

Art print. 73/650

Awesome. The packaging is superb all around.

Re: Box Set Arrived!
 
Mine arrived today. The box is slightly damaged, the one end of the lid has been torn on both it's corners, I've tried a hasty job to try and tape it from the inside so the box still looks good, hopefully it holds up. Other than that, no complaint, looks beautiful.

Oh, and Art Print # 8 / 650. :D

Still haven't gotten mine here in San Francisco, either.

I'm starting to freak out - like, maybe it came, the post office left a note, the note fell off the door, the package got shipped back, and there's NO WAY to track it!

I feel like a TERRIBLE Underworld fan that hasn't been able to listen to the album yet (except for a couple tracks on the Underworld MySpace page that I couldn't wait to hear...) and is used to getting the albums the day they come out...

AND, the only live show they are doing here in SF is a crappy package deal sponsored by a lousy local radio station.

Whaaa, whaaa, whaaa. Woe woe woe is me.

Finally got mine today. Ordered it from Underworldlive.com on August 2nd. I love it, just what I had hoped it would be. Listening to CD2 as I type this.

Ahem.

Well, I guess it just took some self pity to kick the universe in gear because...

I GOT MINE IN THE MAIL TODAY!

Literally JUST opened it, but - HOLY CRAP! I had NO IDEA it was SO BIG. Totally thought it would just be standard CD size. It's SO LOVELY.

Ask and you shall receive... I got home from work and saw the mail woman walking up w/a big box and she says, "David..."... and I'm like, yes, that's me! :D

This is best box set I've purchased! I am so happy! Print 79/650.
