Re: underworldlive.com update by karl
 

I'm sorry, I don't understand that. It's too straight forward for Yannick-speak. Could somebody translate?

Re: underworldlive.com update by karl
 

I think what he's saying is that Karl needs a break. i think Yan's saying Karl needs a vacation. Can anyone verify this translation?

Re: underworldlive.com update by karl
 

erm - they are doing a 4 date european tour, and perhaps KH doesn't have time to update the page...simple as that

no biggie i think, perhaps there's nowhere he can update the site...

Re: underworldlive.com update by karl
 

erm - I was making a joke. :)

friggin japan gets everything.

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

...and the Orb (I think)

but maybe that's just a magazine cover...

I just say that I's also the Orb b/c BoC is only missing one letter, so you'd assume that there's no extra space for more letters, and how many bands start with "the Or_"

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

It is a magazine cover.

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Today...

"NEW 12" ON WAY"

yeah - vinyl is coming!!!!

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Or did Karl ordered some 12-inches from Australia... ;)

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Hmmm...I took that to mean Pizza for Eggs. Karl mentioned these 25 minute downloads where the songs flow into each other as sort of like the old days of 12"...Sort of "digital 12" "

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Quoting themselves today.

"I don't want to kill time, I want it to live"

I was listening to this in the car this morning and thought, "wow what a great lyric." Funny to see it right after that.

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

underworldlive today.... is that last line a hint?

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Yes please. :)

Busy year ahead, then, going by the Just Off the Radar interview: album, book, series of films with JW...

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Votingfloater: nice touch. Actually, if Karl posted here with that user name he would get a lot more replies. Crazy replies sure. And probably more questions than comments but I like the idea.

As for the comments themselves then for those that weren't aware it gives them a basic Underworld "roadmap". Something like, 3rd Riverrun--Soundtrack--UWAlbum--More Work with Yared--other stuff.... kind of thing. I don't get the impatience of people to say "where's the album?" though. In the last few months there's been way more than an albums worth of new material and I've seen the band live half a dozen times (yes I know Underworld haven't toured certain geographic areas, but there have been live recordings filtering out in various forms featuring yet more new material not released).

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

yeah a new album is in order...

Stimps, i have to disagree a bit though about having material given to us...

yes, we have been blessed: with some web projects, and live materials and lots of live contact, but an UW album was kinda promised a long time ago and has taken on a back burner role...what with the soundtrack and the RRP's

I for one can't wait until the Yared Soundtrack project materialises, plus the book of photo's, plus more RRP's, but what most people know and love about UW is their commercially released albums (and releated singles) and i think that we are right to want this to come as soon as possible...(meaning when its possible for UW to do it, not straight away, unless it is ready ;) )

if UW had said that they weren't going to release a new album then fair enough, but they have always intimated that an album was coming...

i don't wanna rush the guys...but even Karl admits its about time...and they must have enough decent stuff out of 180 pieces to make some quality albums with...

so i'm not complaining, but i prefer the Album's and Singles to anything else...the RRP is great but...

bring on the album!!!

Matt

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Well as much as we want the album to come, they will decide when. Honestly, them intimating the coming of a new album, I don't know about that. They might have dropped hints of working on it, but not really that it's coming soon.

And further more, I really don't understand why you're saying "bring on the album!!!". Be thankful for what you've got now (and that a LOT, Riverrun projects (+ those that have yet to come), web broadcasts and everything.

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

i am thankful,

but like i said i just think that what most people would like from Underworld is a full complete album, and they have suggested that one is coming for quite a while... if you're working on an album, surely its intimation that one is coming...and i for one think that the RRP's have come from creating music for an album, these are the bits not deemed album worthy.

I know R&K have been very busy of late, and i'm not expecting one this week ;) but we haven't had an UW album for 3 and half years and one is due...

its all very well releasing download work, but i kinda feel that it is just a teaser, and not the real thing until i see some stuff for sale on the shelves of my record store...and album is still where its at, and one is due...when?

well, who knows, i just say bring it on.... when it comes :)

no rush though...

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

no i'd expect that as well ;)

at least KH is doing what he loves, its easy being in some bands, make an album every couple of years and no contact, yeah for sure...but KH is a full on writer, communicator, and lover of his art...and he and Rick are able to function with their fans much more so than most groups....

but its only been recent years that we've had all this luxury...

the web is opening new doors every week, and we are being spoiled, because K&R like the technology, but lets not forget the bread and butter of what UW are and thats making (& selling) music, and still the best way to get that across to the widest audiences is through an album...

just because we have all this lovely new stuff doesn't mean we don't want an album as well...all i am saying is that an album has been hinted at and mentioned for some while now, and nothing's appeared...

if KH had said - 'thats it' no more albums then i'd be fine and accept that, but the fact is, one is due, maybe not scheduled, and all i am saying is 'bring it on', because thats what KH said today...an U/W album is 'in order'

i'm all for letting the boys do what they want, when they want, and giving us this lovely new stuff via differing formats, but whats wrong with wanting an album as well...?

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

yaaaah, he said album! :)

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

I nearly crapped my pants when i read todays UW live.


thank you Underworld!!!!

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

We are in a privileged position as far as Artist-Fan communication is concerned. It really doesnt bother me right now about an album materialising this year or early next. If little bits of material keep dribbling out (as they have done) then its better than The Stone Roses disappearing for 5 years and then coming back with a Led Zeppelin album, or The Happy Mondays snorting crack on a caribbean island and then churning out the mediocre "Yes Please" (no thanks!) album.

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

wow, it really has been 3 years already?
so not including EE, and anthology...its
been pretty regular with the album releases.

maybe this is the year?

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

im very pleased with the RRP, and im loving the bootlegs from the recent (yet small) tour. im excited about the soundtrack, and the new band about to form. i love that UW gives us so much and for that i thank them.

but...

there is just something to be said of an Underworld album. yes, Stimp, we are in a priveledged position, but we are also super fans. there are friends of mine that arent devoted to scouring every resource possible to get the latest listen. they are the people that want the new album, new singles. i tried to convince them that there is tons of new material out there to be found, but they just said that they'd wait for the new album. after awhile i realized that we were both right. to a superfan, RRP sounds complete, sounds great. but to a regular fan, it sounds like experiments that are leading up to something. to a superfan, the little segues between tracks at the Electraglide Tokyo festival are just-as-good-if-not-better than a studio album, but to the regular fan, they dont exist because they didnt spend DAYS tracking down mp3s of it on ebay.

so i can see it both ways. luckily im in the boat with the uber fans and have gotten a listen to most of the new material, but i can still see it from the casual fans point of view. another UW album sounds like a great idea to me right about now :P

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

just out of curiousity, has anyone been keeping track
of worldwide album sales? for-
anthology
a hundred days off
beaucoup fish

i know the previous ones did really well..
and of course they're one of the top 'dance'
artists in europe and of course japan..

are album sales really that important any more?

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

it wasnt that small. 20 dates. just geographically concentrated.

as for the rest, i can only speak as an uberfan.

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes! :)

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

and maybe a small tour please....
even just a few major cities here and there....
Most of us would be happy to travel if UW could hit our continents....

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Album,
did someone mention ALBUM??

Woohoo

Re: The Underworldlive.com thread
 

Album: Yes please!
Tour: Yes double-please!

:D:D:D
