Well isn't that just DUCKY!

(mumbles and grumbles)

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

ha ha seriously.

good for you. good for ALL OF YOU.

it's good to understand "MTHFKN LIVE ALBUM" from the thread title and then have the meat of it say that only it's about 5,000 miles from where you are!



:p


things like this tend to find a way to distribute themselves though, so eh, it's just a matter of time.

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

Damn, that's sweet.

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

Oh...the perks of moving to Japan! They just keep getting better everyday!!!;)

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

I wshed they did this at all their gigs :( .

I remember Moby doing that, iirc, he even gave them away :) .

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

you forgot to mention...

"and will be released for us here in the states so that we can listen and enjoy"

right? just forgot to mention that part right?

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

maybe you missed the "japanese fans getting that little bit extra (for a change)" disclaimer...

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

electraglide goers are the luckiest of lucky; the electraglide shows are two of my most favorite boots in UW history.

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

so....


there's pretty much absolutely nothing I can say that won't come off as ranting and bitching about how lucky they are, and how much it sucks that the US dirts the shaft (again)


....and I am also going to assume that as the word "exclusively" was stressed... that means it's not gonna be sold online either - which means crazy high prices on ebay and whatnot right?

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

They have to have something special to enjoy the delicious taste of dog to.
:D

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

Sometimes I wonder if it wouuld be better to have NOT known about this and to be kept in the dark.

Ignorance is bliss.


off to go find bliss and prepare for LCD Soundsystem tonite!
whohooO!

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

ooh, ebay! there is hope i'll get to hear it.

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

do I hear dirty contest ?

do I ?

do I hear go yannick, make us work hard to get a copy of it

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

:D
go yan go ;)

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

ahahahhahahaha!

I'll be on it!

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

Why would one release a cd that only a limited audience could buy? I suppose for "collector purposes". The thing will be dubbed and flooding eBay, for sure, just like the "Underworld shoes" that Adidas put out...

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

it's a little comically evil, but i'll play along.

"loki demands you reach for the water! hur hur hur too slow!"

maybe it's just in the wording, since all sites do this anyway.
wait, not they dont, they just have you send an email or something.

c'mon hit me.

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

Why Why Why (hmm, sounds familiar). I hope it´s just the management not thinking. Why else would you release one show from a tour for a select (and very far away) audience.
The ones buying these recordings are:
- real fans
- people who loved the show
- people who wants to make an easy buck

It´s the last group that worries me. Because it´s the first group that is left out. Nowhere else can the real fans get access to shows from this tour. They travel from show to show, but can´t go to the other side of the world.
There´re CD´s from this show. But only if you´ve been there. Or when you can cough up a lot of money on Ebay.

So now the real fans can do two things:

- kill each other on Ebay
- let one fan buy the show on Ebay and set up a tree for it.

Me, I would go for tye second option. Let one of us try to get a copy on Ebay and distribute it.

And Yannick, I know you´re close to the band. Please let them know that an exclusive recording of a show isn´t what fans are waiting for.

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

This is the band taking an experimental step. Instead of praising this, and expressing your hope that this is what will happen at all future gigs, youre moaning about it not being available worldwide and moaning that the japanese get all the good stuff.

Think of it as a step in the right direction.

Meanwhile, lets hope that Yannick manages to get hold of some for a dirty contest so that some of us here can listen to it. Who knows? if the experiment is successful it may be repeated on the as-yet-unannounced 2006 tour, so it will be an extra incentive to go to as many Underworld gigs as possible ;)

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

Stimpee, you´re right about moaning. All I´m saying is don´t kill each other when it´s availible on Ebay.
Let´s just show that when something is not availible worldwide that the fanbase can get access to it in a normal way.
Ans we know that when the experiment succeeds in 2006 we all will get the recordings we want. Because enough bands have shown that this is posssible.

CU in 2006 in Amsterdam, tilburg, where-ever :D

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

I'm kind of with Stimpee on this.

Ok, it stings a bit that this is only for folk that go to electroglide (as if the line up isn't reward enough :D), but it stings a whole lot more that I won't be going to Electraglide. I bet that recording will mean way more to those people than it would to the rest of us. I know that's how I'd feel. And I'd probably get a kick out of that exclusivity if I did get such a recording from an Underworld gig I was at.

If selling recordings like these solely to a gig's audience enables them to do this for more gigs, then great. If it is just a one off, then so be it; I wasn't there and I'll just have to take it on the chin like lots of other stuff I miss out on.

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

well, of *course* it's a step in the right direction. no one is going to moan so much to actually think that if they cant get their mitts on it, then it shouldn't be done.

of course giving live boots is a good thing, but it's a bit of a downer to know that we wont see it for quite awhile.

that said, R and K and anyone who knows what's up seem to be bursting at the seam just waiting to unleash all sorts of info and projects and plans and EVERYTHING, so this really just feels like the beginning of a really good run of things.

so y'know, i can wait. :)

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

who knows, maybe they'll release it as mp3 via UWlive. There are already some shows being uploaded right now so there's hardly much reason to complain...

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

rather than moaning - the first thing i did was think right how am i gonna get a copy of this...

there are several options:

a) fly to japan - go to the gig - buy album
b) get someone i know to go to the gig and buy album
c) enter a contest if one takes place
d) buy it off ebay when it appears there...

well the first option is out for sure - too expensive (even for me)....i don't know any Japanese people or for that matter anyone going to this gig (except Yannick & R&K ;) ) so option two is out also...
the chances of me winning a contest are remote, but i'll enter anyway,

so my only option left will be ebay...which i can wait for....all good things come to those who wait...

you think that we won't get to see this disc or hear it in the future...come on guys...patience...

and stop bloody moaning about everything that keeps happening...can't we just be happy that UW are releasing records, making new music and touring, it'll all come around to everyone eventually....

moan moan moan....*blah*

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

As a collector I would love to own the cds, as fan I would love to be able to buy the mp3s (or .flac) We just can wait to see what happens.
But as a visitor of the last 4 shows and a regular reader of this forum, it was a total cooldown when I got home after the dirtyfantour to read all this moaning about little things. People there is a world outside your window, really, just open the curtains and see. It's there.. Or has moaning about that already bored you also?

And yeah, Hello Basz! :) welcome to the board

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

It can also be that this has "nothing" to do with UW, but everything with the venue they are playing. I know that there are some American venues that release almost every show from their venue no matter what band. Only if a band really objects they don't sell the show.

If this is the case it's not UW that handles the recording and stuff like that but the venue. Then the chance that we will ever see the mp3's or anything else will be very small.

But then again they are the only band who's show is released.

Re: Live album of Underworld?'s Electraglide performance
 

Somebody get me one please, i'd be a very happy bunny :)
Wishful thinking...

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

From what i could gather, it is more a question of international copyright than giving anything "extra" to japanese fans. perhaps it is something that they will release and market separately in different parts of the world. I hope so, anyway. :)

Re: Live album of Underworld's Electraglide performance
 

I think many people are missing the point. When I saw PWEI in January they were doing this and you could buy the show on CD at the end of the night. Yes it's a great momento of the evening but I wouldn't go feeling you're being cheated out of some exclusive release. Bear in mind that the show will be recorded and copied to disc that night, hence the sound quality (whilst I'm sure it won't be bad) won't be up to the standard of a professionally mastered and edited live recording like Everything, Everything. Yeah it'll be nice to have, but I wouldn't bet against something similar happening in other places eventually. Will the disc come with original artwork etc? Something in me says it won't, but maybe I'm wrong. You've got access to enough live shows already through RTSR, I'm sure this one will join the selection already there in due course (am I allowed to imply that? The line has certainly blurred in this instance).

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

I don't think this will be distributed through RTSR as EverythingEverything also has not. Its an interesting question though, as this won't have worldwide release. Something to be discussed thru RTSR rather than dirty, however.

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

EE was a release. This however is not. What makes this different than any other bootleg?

EDIT: i'll save this for RTSR :[

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

Because it's made with the intent to be sold by the artists.

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

yep. 100% right. my brain wasn't working earlier :P

EDIT: i think im just (and always have been) soured by the limited release idea. whether it be movies, music or what not, there just seems no point to it anymore.

sure it will be burned to disc and sold at Electraglide, but there is no way that it will be contained to Electraglide. copies will end up on ebay and a collector and fan like myself will undoubtedly bid on it (at a ridiculous cost mind you) as will a great handful of others on here; dirts alone will drive up the ebay costs bidding against each other. others will end up on the net. I'd rather pay for my copy and feel good about it at the end of the day than download one, but truth be told, Im going to seek out this show. I'd be lying if i said otherwise.

a great deal of us listen to the bootlegs more than we listen to the studio releases which makes this an even larger desire: soundboard quality, non-lossy format is the holy grail for bootleg junkies.

just being honest here :)

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

At the gig and at the gig alone. The 'artists' in this case (if it is actually UW who will be taking the cash from sales of this CD), have limited their opportunity for selling this release to one night. No hint of this being available from elsewhere strongly suggests that any trading/downloading/copying etc of this disc that would be to go on after the show would not be at any detriment to the band.

What does make this different than any other bootleg?

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

good man. Anyone wanting to discuss live bootlegs as well as contributing to the Underworld community should head over there where a discussion on this subject is starting. Link.

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

If this is done more often, some people who go to a gig where a live cd is sold might think; "why the hell should i buy that disc, it'll be all over the web in a few hours" .

Less sales -> less cash for underworldw -> less healthcare for darren, karl and rick -> more disease -> DEATH!

In short; Downloading buyable recordings directly causes the death of all underworld members :D !

Re: Live album of Underworld�'s Electraglide performance
 

id buy the disc no doubt.. in a heartbeat; i'd be first on line. that said, if its not available to me, im going to do my darndest to get a copy.
