New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Hello all, has anyone noticed this new listing on HMV and the Traffic Japan website? Looks like there's a remix CD/DVD coming out this summer:

Cool, it has the studio version of Parc too!

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Nice....

The Bells! The Bells! (Remixes & Videos from the Oblivion with Bells album)
CD + DVD: TRCP 34-35

If "(新曲)" does mean 'studio version', then that's one track knocked off the ever increasing 'to do' list for Underworld... on the other hand 新曲 might mean 'Atlanta' for all I can tell.

also on HMV japan... http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/1449790 ..."Balloon Head"? is this the AHDO badge?

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

ooh hello.

新曲 means new track. although parc has been around a while in some form - but i guess this is the finished version (if there ever is a "finished version" with underworld!).

according to the traffic page, it'll be released 25th june complete with a 36-page "artbook". looking good!

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

oh, and there will be two versions of the crocodile and ring road videos (multi-angle, according to hmv).

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

I wish the boys would mention something on the website or post something on the blog... the Japanese translation of the text is weird... it says something about 'parc' being an instrumental track, i hope this is the 'darc' we know and love, and not something different

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Would someone ordering from the US be able to play the DVD? Japan is region 2 per Wikipedia. I didn't seen a region code listed on HMV JP.

I have a Leftfield DVD from their A Final Hit release that I could only view on my PC.

IIRC, the OwB bonus DVD from Japan was region coded, so there's a good chance this will be too.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter can strip the region for you, then you can re-burn it. That's what I did with my HMV OWB import so I could watch it. "Loads of Birds" was totally worth it. ;) Plus, I used the opportunity to rip my Footwear Repairs VHS to DVD and put them both on the same disk (The OWB disk is short). I'm happy.

Of course, I'd be happier if we could just buy all this stuff in the states. 50 bucks for the OWB DVD import is pretty ridiculous for most people.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Hrm.. I think that's just machine translation being weird, there's nothing really like that in the original :) Although, they do say it's a remastered version (I think, I'm not good on obscure technical terms..)
It also says it's the one used for the J-WAVE 20th anniversary, so I assume it's the same one.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

i'm down with purchasing this just for Parc. Any idea if this will end up in the online store?

EDIT: i just learned to read.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

I like the design....sumptuous, indeed! ;)

So i guess when,during the last radioshow, they were asked if they were considering putting the more recent videos out on DVD, Karl's "oh yes, oh yes!" was quite sincere.

Looking forward to June. Mostly for P/Darc!

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

darnit i'm getting it..

yeah about those videos, where's the rest of them (the good
ones that is).... i guess they have to concentrate on these,
as they are current...

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

See, the wording's kind of awkward. "to be released in Japan only and from underworldlive.com". I guess that means it'll be released on underworldlive.com? Or are they talking about their label?

If it were to be released online, what happens with the video portion? That's about 40 minutes of video. DVD image? That would be at least 2 GB. Compressed web video? Still about 700 MB.

But yeah, I'm definitely getting the physical package. The 36 page booklet sounds nice. Hope the DVD's not region coded.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

So, will this have the 3 year old concert lyrics, or a brand new, shiny studio recording?

*sigh* My assumption is the former.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

seems like it's going to be the same version as played on Japanese radio.

i've ordered The Bells! now in addition to the Oblivion Ball + Boy3 cd single.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

does Quasimodo feature on this DVD??

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

HMV.co.jp currently has it on sale for 15% off, ¥3,124:

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Yes. Guess which one is Karl.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

lol

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

well if it is a new studio recording, I hope it sounds as close as possible to the Amsterdam live version, cause that was pretty much perfect right there. (assuming that "Parc" is indeed "Darc" as we know it, it could be something different altogether)

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Ordered from hmv.jp :) Bring on physical!

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Parc preview on uwlive.com!!

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

I'm happy that D... Parc is being released, and now I can finally change my sig, but it seems so anti-climactic to rewind the track back to 2005. If you listen to the recording in Atlanta, the lyrics have been revised, the guitar improv is new (and better, in my opinion), Rick's vocoder stuff is completely different (and again, better). But now we've just gone back in time.

It seems like they just wanted to get the track out of the way. I don't think they like it as much as we do..

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Well, there's nothing to say they can't release "D/Parc (r83cr3)".

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

at least you'll be able to change your sig soon ;)

THIS TRACK ROCKS SO MUCH BTW!

PS this sounds like it might actually be pretty much a direct recording from the amsterdam live version with some cosmetic changes.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

It is, as we discussed in the Parc thread.

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

sorry missed that thread :)

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Mmm... hmv says "Out Soon - current release date is 25 Jun 2008" I'll probably wait a bit, just to see if they won't sell it from the uw digital shop. Looks gorgeous, though...

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

I just hope that Parc/Darc on this new cd includes the gorgeous vocal sample "..cruel and tender, electric degrees of truth, like a spider on my skin, like the way you slip away from me.." Just faaaaantastic:)

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

"...freshly squeezed and funky"

I adore adore adore this track

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

yep, of course ;)

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

Will the next single have barc and qarc on it?

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

I wonder why they changed it to Parc... I mean, it's only one letter, what was the harm of keeping it as is?

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

because it was a song in progress....so why should they keep
the same name?

how many iterations of 'born slippy' were there?
'...'
telematic
.nuxx

etc.

this is no different..

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

perhaps to avoid confusion with "dark and long"?

Re: New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon
 

where did the name darc even come from? maybe it was mis-heard or a messy scrible for a while? I dunno...

I like how there is a good version up on underworldlive.com though. Reminds me of a warm breeze blowing down by the river.
