PS. Does anyone know what the font used on the cover is?
Looks like a variation on Palatino, the serifs on the 'T' lean out. Maybe my linotype version is slightly different from other foundaries, my 'T' has vertical serifs.

Sorry to be so 'typo tecky'.

dont apologise. i was trying to do a back tray for the release. it does look like Palatino but the way the 7 and 3 are dropped and the 1 and 2 are superscript makes it hard to reproduce. the superscript 1 and 2 i can do, but i'll have to work on the other. the upper case text also looks more spaced than Palatino Linotype. The 9 is also more Garamond than Palatino.

So I would check out Garamond. I have three Garamond's. Apple Garamond, Apple Garamond Light and Garamond and its the latter which fits the bill the best i think.

Note: Adobe Garamond Pro has titling capitals built into the base font. Garamond Premier Pro does not, because it has a full set of optical size variants as separate fonts.

It's impossible to get this download for me! When i click "buy now" i'm taken to the payment page, i enter all the correct data from my visa card; and when i click "continue" all it does is take me to the same page again, oly with the visa card number and security number erased. And yes it's the right number. What's wrong here? Why is there no error message? Is there no other way to get this? And why o why isn't there a help page so i don't need to post this sor of thing here?

- end rant.

hi all,
i was looking through this topic and it botherd me that some people were moaning about the mp3 quality of lovely broken thing. i dont know why - as you cant even hear the mp3 compression at that setting anyway - the differnce is inuadible! - muppets!

anyway i think its wicked - has a nice raw edge to it like b fish - and i think underworld are gonna kick back again

But knowing that it's been compressed is itself a problem - knowing that the details have already been removed by the compression. We can only guess at what it should sound like...

They really should have compressed it with lame... (something like -V2).
The mp3 encoder they use produces those horrible gaps between the tracks:( (e.g. Blue Mountain is messed up completely)
I'd say that was the reason LBT was not cut into pieces;)

This EP is absolutely fantastic. I'm loving every minute of it. It's great to see UW pushing the boundaries of their own style of music, which is already pretty wide. It's fantastic.

Question: where did the tracklist come from? I've looked around but haven't found any evidence of it anywhere in the package...

If you go to the shop on uwlive.com, and click 'preview' it gives you a bunch of blurb about the release which has the track titles in there ...

I look forward to downloading this release when it's released in a lossless format. Has this been confirmed or not?

dubman 12-02-2005 06:48 AM

Re: Lovely Broken Thing : A message from Rick and Karl

I'm not worried about it being a crap mp3, I'm generally happy with and do download 192kbs mp3s but when I start buying music online I expect it to come in a lossless format. Depending on the sound system you listen to them on it will make a difference. I can quite easily tell the difference between a high quality mp3 and flac of the same performance which is why when I pick up bootleg I always take the time to wait for a lossless format release.

If there definately isn't going to be a lossless release, i will get it as it is; otherwise I will wait.

While searching for something else...
Rob da Bank one music 20005.11.10
Partly transcript:

JAL to Tokyo notes:
Karl: This is the most exciting and rewarding record release in the whole of the last 26 years togehter. This was the first track we recorded using our laptops , Rick wrote the music on a Japanese Air Lines flight to Tokyo and Karl wrote the text, walking the streets of Melbourne. The vocals were then recorded in a hotelroom above the casino in Melbourne.

Peggy Sussednotes:
Karl: This came together very quickly, recorded down in Lemonworld in Romford and studio Rick. This the second version of the vocals he did as the first one sounded like Mick Jagger. The lyrics came from a vision Karl had after meeting Mickey Mouse.

Dub Shepard notes:
Karl: The Dub Shepard likes reagge and owns a flock of red gold and green sheep. They use the track in the live show, it's one of the new pieces they've done. There is absolutely no resambelance whatsoever to how it started out and is a product of jamming by swapping laptops.

Monkey Wink notes:
Karl: This was apperently written all over Essex, Rick liked it's brutal simplicity and the ambiguity of the polyrhythm. The discription is as minimal as is the music.

wow - I didn't realize you couldn't get it on UW live anymore

why don't they simply open up a Bandcamp account? There are so many UW live / Dogboyheadset exclusives that aren't available anymore. It'd be unbelievably easy for someone to upload & sell them there

think it's been this way for awhile, but would be nice to get a vinyl release, maybe side d can be a picture disc...? baffled as to why something this loved hasn't been given a proper treatment of some kind

I really hope they don't skip over this era after A Hundred Days Off reissue. The whole Riverrun Series era needs to be reissued digitally/physically. One of my favorite periods of the band. This music deserves to be readily available. I hope they don't skip it and go straight to Oblivion With Bells.

"Dubnobasswithmyheadman is the first remastered work to be released, there are plans in place to remaster and reissue all of the Underworld’s studio albums in the next few years."

Underworld also posted this on their Instagram back on September 5th, which I think was a hint at A Hundred Days Off reissue coming...

I asked the UW email about the availability of riverrun and got a basic "not available, sign up for newsletter for any news" response a year and a half ago. Unlikely to see that change. It's up on youtube, though without the added photosets of course.
