I'm sorry. I was downloading the 160 unreleased studio tracks that they posted in the new Members section so quickly that it crashed the server and aNt had to roll everything back.

I did manage to finish downloading about 90 of them before the server crashed though. It includes You Do Scribble and Darc and some cool new ones like Bullet Train to Kyoto. I hope they fix it soon so the rest of you can hear them.

Btw, does anyone else agree with me regarding the "mastering" pix which have been appearing on the new site, that is, they are a really cool and beautiful set of photos, echoing a sublime stillness and a celebration of high technology and industrial design (at the risk of sounding pompous:eek: ). They remind me of the Fluke cd covers "Six Wheels on my Wagon" and "Risotto"

Agreed...they are abso-lovley. ;)

Spotted it too. The interview doesn't seem to want to play properly though. Although that might be that I am running the wrong version of quicktime or something? What version are you using, aNt?

Re: Underworldlive version 3.0 thread
 
Wow, I wonder what exactly inspired today's diatribe. I must admit, I thought San Francisco Walk was another recording by Karl, but I guess it was Rick, after all.

Of course the press is going to focus on the clowny boy wildly waving his muppet arms, rather than the comparatively boring gaunt man hidden behind the desk pushing buttons. We know better though.

As my imagination ran wild over the past week, wondering what would happen if Rick's illness were more severe, I realized that despite Karl's recent musings about bringing in new people to take over Underworld, it simply wouldn't be the same without either of them. It's BOTH of them, working together, inspiring each other, that have created the amazing music that touches all of us here and brings us together.

(BTW, -1, in the second to last paragraph, you get to read "intimated" again. ;))

Was trying to cut and paste this and, being a n00b, I don't have the l33t skillez to do it. But I was really moved by this piece. Not a diatribe, just a setting straight of records, imo.

Of course we know that UW only works because of the chemical reaction between these two. It seems like the press don't, though.

Really enjoyed today’s post, so raw and honest.
Call it coincidence, but only 2 days ago I discovered these 2 old interviews with Karl & Rick
(both at different times and on the release of different albums).

http://www.thenitmustbetrue.com/rsmith/rsmith.html (fantastic read)
http://www.ijamming.net/Music/Underworld1.html

It’s clear from both articles that R&K are 100% dedicated to the process of
creating together, each with their specific roles. What’s also obvious is Rick’s
commitment – a true "perfectionist" or as Karl put it "the core".

Big respect
And thanks again sharing your thoughts on this.

I really like the post today, illuminating aspects of the dynamic group of people that are and present underworld, but also sometimes blunt honesty permeating throughout.

BeautifulBurnout 10-27-2007 02:48 AM
Re: Underworldlive version 3.0 thread
 
In fact - I may be a n00b but I am a l33t touch-typist and decided to retype word for word, comma for comma, this piece and post it here because I am aware that it may not be on the site come tomorrow or Monday and it would be a shame for Dirts who don't log on over the weekend to miss it. So here goes (in 2 parts):
Quote:
In the World of P & P - Is it just me but has anyone else felt a strange disparity between what we know or believe to be the truth & what we read in the news? Ouch! - I'm not turning capitol 'P' political on you - no - rather I was was thinking in this instance about the way in which Mr S & Mr H are often portrayed, that the truth is often quite different & is in fact more interesting than we might at first be lead to believe.
Now please don't for one moment suspect me of ingratitude for the support the duo & team have been shown all over the World this year. Indeed the praise & enthusiasm with which the latest physical release has been received has been deeply inspiring, humbling & a real smile


Yet are we to believe -
that the impish fellow really does all that the press
would lead us to believe he does? Is it all so simple or is the picture
much richer & far more interesting?


OK, so we know he wanders the streets
with his notebook and cellphone
gathering text for the boys to use in the studio & taking lo-fi snaps
for the brilliant (but often overlooked) John Warwicker to curate
into beautiful artworks far richer than the raw photographs themselves.
And what of the text?
Where did the idea come from?
We've heard about Sam Shepard and Lou Reed but let's just go back
for a moment to the end of the 80s when UW MKII collapsed
& Rick (left alone with the responsibility of clearing the band's debts
& salvaging what he could make of the original studio)
decided he wanted to make music for the dancefloor & set about looking for
a DJ to work with. We all know he found someone & what happened next,
but what we con't hear is how it was he who told Karl that he would have to
radically change the way he wrote words so that they didn't have to
keep waiting for him to finish the lyrics in order to finish a track.
And are we to believe that the conversation finished there – that he had
no further influence on the way text was gathered, sung and recorded?
Or that such influence doesn't continue up until this very moment?

Live
We've seen the live shows & jammed with the boys on stage – riding waves
of energy exchanged between us all. Transported by the music the grooves
& the performance to places that have left us sweaty and smiling.
Yet, after such nights when we read the reviews the following day
don't we think it more than a little strange that the imp gets pretty much all
the attention & Rick gets little more than a passing line – tagged onto
“...and Darren”. Who do we imagine is the backbone, the core, the inspiration,
the producer & director of these celebrations – these expressions of joy?
Surely our lad with the groovy moves can't be conjuring such magic
by wiggling hhis glitter trainers & if we're to believe he's out on the streets
writing it all down & snapping away like Daido Moriyama on speed
then who is taking responsibility for everything else?
The boys tell us the gigs aren't programmed, that they're live & that there are
real instruments up there on stage, so who's playing them, who thought of them,
developed them & keeps moving everything forward – year after year?
D'you see where I'm going with this?


And who do we imagine
drives the web site, the radio shows, the tv shows,
the events, the productions, the photographs, the interactive projects,
the live recordings, the filmings, the videos, the mastering, the Abbey Road
recording sessions, the working with other artists. Who do we imagine
'makes' the records the boys put out? Who is at the core keeping everything
moving on from stagnating?


And if Karl is into Lo-Fi photography
then who is it that takes all thos beautiful hi-def images we see
on the web site every day? The brilliant 'mastering' series, the nature images,
the macro images, the plug-holes and bead-curtains (darn I wish I had an eye
that could've seen that bead curtain in that way...I was truly jealous),
& dogs & ponies & painted castles?
Who stood at one've the more dangerous crossroads in San Francisco
making street recording to upload to the site & continues to do that
night after night from cities all over the world? Who is it who updates
the whole of the web site week after week well into the wee hours
long after most of us here at Uwlive after slipped off to bed?
Well, I'm guessing here, but I'm going to take a wild stab & say
I bet it's not Karl.


There's more
much more dear brothers & sisters
The story goes on & is much richer than even I have intimated here,
yet somehow, for some reason, whenever its told it gets neatened up
& the core gets cut out. Yes there's much more to tell


But it's late
& I must sleep
whilst somewhere not far from here
Some one who gets virtually no recognition
will be working through the night again
because he sees a way to inspire us
Awesome stuff indeed. :)

To those of us who love the work of Underworld, the union of Rick and Karl, we know very well that they are literally one foot in front of the other, repeating, necessary for "Underworld" to be "Underworld". Rick and Karl, you are both loved for your abilities not only on your own, but your ability to play off of each other so well.

I'm glad BeautifulBurnout posted that here, because I felt that it needed to be on the fourm and was going to type it out if it hadn't been done already.

I've always been interested in the process behind the work, but we don't often get to see what's behind the curtain. I've never really known if that's because journalists don't get told any of it, or because they don't write about it when they do get told.

It's easy to assume that Mr S makes a melody, LeDarrenDeJour sticks a kickdum under it then Mr H sings... and maybe some bands do work like that, but I doubt something as rich as Underworld's output could concievably emerge from such a linear process.

I've always wondered about division of labour within UW, and I'm glad to read that it's as complex as I'd imagined.

What happens when we have downloaded a RiverRun item three times?
Do we have to buy it again?

IMO this limitation leads to nothing:
- It won't stop piracy. (DRM also does not)
- People who got the RiverRuns from UWlive v1 did not know about this limitation when they bought it.
- also it's fairly easy to circumvent at the moment...

So why was it introduced?

i don't know if this was already posted here somewhere, BUT the member zone is apparently "on" now in the uwlive site!!! just exploring it while i'm writing these lines... enjoy!!! (& become members, if you're not already...) :)

Après-coup & after an exploration, the "real shop" is not yet online, but the EPK is very nice to see (& again, Rick, get well soon!!!), also, the diary today is having a "special" taste... A million thanks again to R&K to be like you are & bringing us all these things.

Later conclusion : erm... I should have read this thread before posting the above (which I didn't do for once...) as some of you here already posted about the "my account" zone & the diary... anyway... I was so moved by the EPK & the diary/journal today that I HAD to post this just when I saw this. I just admire & respect these 2 guys & will never be able to thank them enough to just be how they are & just wish all the best to them, specially Rick in these days.

and the epk video crashes my browsers. both firefox and IE. possibly it has something to do with the media player and the flippin' 64 bit catastrophe of a windows platform i'm on. :(
