Thanks for the translation, stauff

Hm. You Do Scribble or some derivative thereof?

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

when can we expect small song samples of the album?

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

if someone in japan has a copy for review, which they obv. do, the full LP should be leaking online very soon.

note to artists who do not want their LP leaked: do not send review copies to journalists. if you must, set up listening parties or create a login/password protected mini site for journalists to stream the songs. sending out promos is asking for your music to be leaked. please do not cry when your desire for press leads to your LP being distributed online before it's released. there are other ways of getting publicity for your music.

uw seem like they're well aware of the pros/cons of the internet so hopefully they'll be smart with review copies and not send any out.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Agreed. Small samples = nice. Leaked album = not so nice.
Ruins the anticipation and excitement of release day for me, when i'm hearing things about a record weeks before it appears.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

AHDO was leaked at least two months before the release date, and i bought one off the nice promos around the same time of the leak to.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

If I recall correctly, AHDO was leaked around the last week of June as I was finishing up a final paper and checking some newsgroups when I spotted it. The final I was writing was a bit late, but I had been given an extension.

Despite downloading the leak, I still purchased the album proper in September 02 and also purchased one of the promos that came in the DVD case.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

october? if we were having a summer i'd be wanting it over already...!

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

If it leaks (and I hope it'll not), we should have spoiler warnings/tags here.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

spoiler for what?!
so an mp3 doesn't jump you?

written descriptions can hardly count as spoilers, do they?

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

If someone can get me a promo i'll give them a full sized cinema poster for Sunshine which i have a spare of;)

Pics avaliable.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

this is either going to be trim pt. 2 or fucking amazing.
either way that's... different.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Me´s thinking some rai influence would be damn good.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Even if it does get leaked, I won't have anything to do with it until the real release. I can't bear having that spoiled for me.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

LOL... god, I remember the frenzy surrounding the leak. The vibe here was very "If you download this record then you support the turrrrists" kinda thing. In the end, I wonder if any regular here actually did not buy the album?

Basically, what I'm saying is that if OWB leaks, you bet your ass I'm dl'ing it. And then buying at least one copy on release day if not more. It's just how these things work. And I encourage people to not get more emotionally involved than is necessary if it does leak. I'd consider it a reasonable notion to believe that people that would pirate the leak and not buy the album also would pirate it post-release and not buy the album.

Thanks for the leaked tracklisting guys, now I wanna hear snippets you bastards! ;)

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

It definently had that vibe of, 'You're either with us, or AGAINST US.' I remember talking to some radiohead fans who had a similar stance around the time that rough mix of Hail to the Thief got leaked a couple months early.

The thing I remember about the leak of AHDO is Scott posting the track list for the CD and cueing up the conjecture about what the tracks could be like, even including some rather humorous discussion of tracking Mr. Warner down at his place of work and nabbing his copy of the promo.

Then it got leaked.

I think people did get a bit too emotional over the whole ordeal. So perhaps a SPOILER thread for OWB will be necessary to appease some of those around here.

I will be downloading it. I know I'm not patient enough to wait. It's like seeing movies early or going to a test screening. It might not be the final product, but it's pretty damn close and it's just as interesting to see a work in progress for as it is to see the final piece. (Just my opinion though.)

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

it'll be really cool if they won't send any promo copies to press or anyone. i had a strong feeling that radiohead wont do that too. interpol were really succesful at it, album leaked just 2 weeks ago before actual release.

actually i want to see oblivion in top 3.

:-)

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Ugh, I'm terrible at this. I always aim to wait, but then I just get too damn curious. I'm also notorius for buying like 5 copies of their new album for me and my friends; its not like anyone on this msg board is going download and not purchase.

I remember when AHDO was leaked. That feeling of "you're a bad person if you download" was quite humorous as I know a LOT of people that had advance listens and some of them were on the side of "i'm not going to download."

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Interpol didn't release any promos?

I remember the last nine incha nails album With Teeth was also quite successful in keeping the album under wraps until about a week and a half prior to it's release in the spring of 05.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

If history has taught me anything, I'll be too impatient and download it, then buy the single, then buy the album, then weaken as soon as a version with any sort of extras is released and buy that too, then next time I'm in overseas I'll cruise record stores specifically to pick up any different versions released there.

I don't think there's anything the band could do to make me *not* buy this album at least once.

I guess they could not release it? (note: not a recommendation)

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Always Loved A Film?

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Yes, i'm missing that too!! I was sure that this track would be the first single of the next album, Now, i just dont know:( .

Maybe it will be on a follow up to "i'm A big sister..." on the Riverrun series:)

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Always Loved a Film sounded so great when they last played it on their radio broadcast, It would be a shame if that didn't get released at some point.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

i think 'always loved a film' is still WIP. it's okay, but it doesn't have a whole lot going on, vs. something like you do scribble or all these things, both of which seem a lot more complete. that's just my take, though.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

I was wondering if Always loved a film has changed names again. It started as Always loved a film, then became to quote Rick, 'something to do with Silver boots and always loved a film.' I really love that track though, especially as it has grown into what it was last we heard in May 05.

So it looks like PIAS/Different for Europe and I guess America? Traffic for Japan, but we knew that already.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

More cover artwork is up:

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

I actually preferred the ORIGINAL version of "Always Loved a Film"

as it was played back at that Electraglide show (forget the year off the top of my head)... it was play muuuuuuuch slower. Definitely like a track to play while having a special night with a "lady friend" (or guy)

there was - at one point in time, a short video of that performance on UW live... any chance someone's got it? I remember seeing Karl reading lyrics/stuff out of a book...

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

I seem to recall that a studio version of Always Loved A Film (or Silver Boots then I believe) was up for about two days as a video soundtrack somewhere hidden on underworldlive.com a while ago. I want to say maybe before the riverruns started to come out. I think it was sort of hidden and that there was no direct link from the main page. I definitely remember that some bit of music was up as a video soundtrack that I listened to once but it had dissappeared when I came back. Anybody have that or know what I'm talking about?

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

I remember that Draft730 by Autechre was only on handed out on promo cassette and I think one of the last White Stripes albums was only distributed on vinyl. This really stopped the leaks until the real release as far as i remember. Those unscrupulous journalists and radio DJs....

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

I recall that video in question that was posted on underworldlive.com. It was about a minute and half or so from the Electraglide show in 2003 and it showed Karl for the majority of the video flipping through the tomato/underworld project In The Belly of Saint Paul.

I still have this quicktime file saved too.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

i MUCH prefer this to the original cover.
damn it.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Haha funny...I am the same. Man the last full album was from 2002 so it is five years ago now..I need my crack dose and the sooner I get it the better. But I also love to hold the real CD and sleeve in my hand, check the artwork and weird design out. When it is about Underworld releases, I collect every piece I can get my hands on besides single releases mabye but everything that smells like an album, EP, official mp3 release or live bootleg has to be mine. :D I live in Germany but each time I am in a foreign country, I check the record stores out if I have the chance to..some gems you never get ahold here like for example the "Driving through B-Sides Vol. 1. and 2" CD's I bought in a UK store some years ago which shows so much where their sound is coming from especially for die hard fans. The day I have the new album in my hands will be a day where I feel like 12 again being the kid that awaits his christmas present under the tree...exited but also hesitating to listen to it because there is nothing like listening for the first time to a new CD from your fav artists - though their albums grow a lot over the Years. I am holding my breath for October and till then I will make my usual daily prayer in the evening begging for another live recorded DVD like Everything Everything in superb audio quality where Underworld play in front of 2 zillion people going bonkers.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

A different picture is there now. Looks like a picture from Abbey Road?

The squiggle at the bottom of the page (but not the linked page) changes every few days also.

And you'll be posting it when, please? :D

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

I'm glad that wasn't imagining things.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

EDIT: Here is the video. Please 'Save As' and don't stream it from here. Also, I'll be taking it down after this weekend, so if anyone wanted to rehost it or whatever please do so.

Always Loved A Film - with page turning video goodness

You know, I downloaded what I thought was that video of "Always Loved a Film" with Karl thumbing through the pages. Turns out, I had only downloaded the link to the mini-movie. And not that I've tried in a long time, but that link was still working years after the hyperlink was removed from the uwlive site.

I loved that version of ALAF. So groovy and less techy. "only I know... what you're thinkinggggg. only I know... what you're thinkingggg."

I'll check the link when I get home. Who knows, maybe its still up there?

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Fantastic. Thank you!

Mono sound track. :( I wish everything back then were AAC like it is nowadays.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Both images are up there now.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

Some info from the latest DJMAG:

Underworld return with "crocodile" in early October, which fans may already know from their recent live sets. Remixes come courtesy of AMÉ, QUENTIN HARRIS, OLIVER HUNTEMANN and PETE HELLER.

Another highlight from the new set will be "Ring Road" that's already undergone the SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO remix treatment in preperation for a future single release.

Re: Oblivion with Bells
 

crap...

I missed that video download... any chance someone could up it on like megaupload, etc etc
