Lovely Broken Thing : A message from Rick and Karl
 
thanks for your patience, we know it's been annoying, we're even scared to say it but.................we're ready!

Tomorrow/today (depending on where you are) will see the release of the first new underworld material for................well, ages.......and here's the how, why and where.

we will be releasing music as a series of downloads exclusively from underworldlive.com and wanted you to be the first to know.

the downloads will consist of 5/6 different pieces interwoven, mixed, blended, whatever you want to call it into a single piece 25/30 minutes in length. the releases will sometimes follow a rough musical theme (there's a dub influenced one already in the can) sometimes they won't - but the idea is to give us the chance to stretch out into areas we have only been able to touch on with traditional album releases, and give you the listener an underworld experience over the time it takes to listen to one side of an old vinyl album.

after years of recording, promoting, touring and falling out we think it's time for us to step off the treadmill and give our time to a number of projects and ideas some of which have been kicking around for years, firstly the score to anthony minghella's new film, followed swiftly with some remixes/collaborations with some of our favourite underground dance producers/djs..............and there will be more, much, much more.

another aim of changing things is to give us the chance to respond to what's happening musically out there in the world and put an underworld spin on things more than once every three years - like the way things happened in the days of white-labels, selling records from vans and junior boys own....we hope you'll be able to hear this in the music. it will also help us refresh the live set with more new songs in a way we haven't been able to in the past, something we've wanted to do for a long time now.

none of this spells the end of traditional albums, remixes, tours, gigs it's just a way of getting music to you without the help of a multinational every time we feel inspired. expect too see underworld in the charts, on the radio, in the press and in your town again but in the meantime fill you're boots at underworldlive.com.

my birthday present one day early :p
thank you so much for letting this happen! cheers to everyone involved, too!

currently dl'ing... boy, my musicplayer won't have a free minute tonight...

some impressions:
- the shop seems easy to browse & manage, even under linux ;) thanks for using proper html!
Quote:

we are not using any copy protection or drm as we prefer to start from the point of trusing our customers.
thanks for this too! no DRM! hooray! my linux box would be pissed otherwise...

- i'd be nice to know the size of the package, so one knows how long the download will take.

votingfloater 11-09-2005 08:33 AM

Re: Broken Lovely Thing : A message from Rick and Karl
 
Well, unzipped it's 47 MB.

Plaudits for the lack of DRM from me too - I can play it on my mp3 player!

Re: Broken Lovely Thing : A message from Rick and Karl
 
Very cool indeed. And you're right. They should add a size or time it takes to download stuff from their site.

About the music:

I love that first tune JAL in tokyo. Also Lenne Penny is a cool one. Seems a bit drum and bass like. Like that other band, Kosheen. Only then with a underworld sound to it :)

Hope to hear more of this in the future! I think we're heading to a bright one (future that is) :)

joethelion 11-09-2005 08:55 AM

Re: Broken Lovely Thing : A message from Rick and Karl
 
well - I had to re-register...

and there was initial difficulties with the billing stuff...

but I just got the complete download... and about to LISTEN!!!!!!

yayayayayayayaayyaya


(edit)

and JAL to Tokyo sounds soooooooooo MUCH BETTER!!!!
I mean, it's been growing me over time
...but now that you can actually hear Karl and the bass, as it's not recorded off a stream or the radio... I officially love it!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

(edit 2)
oh! and it's got that jam track from one of the dirtyradio broadcasts... you know, the one where it goes into a sample of Karl going "halleluya"

Bit confused here. Bought and downloaded fine (didn't like my credit card first time, took it the second).

Went back to look at the members section and see the downloads, credits links. Click on them out of curiosity... and now I have three links to the new package in Downloads. Is the credits link to request a repeat download of one we've paid for? Or does it just issue a new link every time I go to Downloads, and I now have >1 because the old ones haven't expired, or what? Some info on these pages might help dim bulbs like myself who can't contain their curiosity. :D

Re: Broken Lovely Thing : A message from Rick and Karl
 
please consider encoding mp3s as variable bitrate (VBR) in the future - you can get better sound quality for the same filesize.

Bargo 11-09-2005 09:37 AM

Re: Broken Lovely Thing : A message from Rick and Karl
 
Ordered and downloading. This is awesome, thanks a million guys.

It was mentioend earlier, but for future releases an indication of download filesize would be great so that us poor dial-up losers know how feasible it is to download.

How about PayPal ?
Would be nice so people w/o credit cards (like me) could get the music.
