New Underworld album?!
 

Sorry if this is a re-post but I haven't been able to find any solid info by searching the forum.

What's the deal with the new UW album? When will it be released? Will it feature tracks from the download only-instalments? Is it a studio album? Any info is apreciated. Thanks in advance.

i hope it'll be released soon...)

At the moment the band are releasing mp3s through www.underworldlive.com. We know (or we think we know) that an album is on its way from comments in recent interviews with Karl Hyde, but as yet we have no idea of when it is likely to be released.

However, the band are also working on a film score for the new Anthony Mingella film, Breaking and Entering, which is due out in the spring, so there is bound to be an OST album of that I would have thought.


PS: Mr Moderator-In-Chief, can we make this thread a "sticky" so that new visitors to the board can find the info easily? Pretty please? :)

i think ONE OF the moderators needs to get in here and answer this question as for myself and MANY others on here dont seem to be on the same page in regards to if/when an album will be released.

the way i see it, no album (cd album) is going to be released anytime soon. like not for years yet a few others keep saying, "this should be on the album." what album?

so the question is:

**********************************
is there going to be an Underworld album (cd / vinyl -- NOT A SINGLE) proper released or is the RiverRun Project taking its place?
**********************************

i dont think tht is asking much and honestly, i dont know the reason for mystifying this anymore than it has.

I'm with Potato...I don't think an album is on its way either...


but it has been mystified to an annoying degree...so much so, that many of us have resorted to adhering to differrent schools of thought on how to interpret Karl's words in his interviews ;)

Re: New Underworld album?!
 

where in his interviews do you interpret that a proper album isn't coming out "for years"?

you guys are so silly.

i'm saying with 100 percent confidence we're having an album by June, and that's a generous estimate.

Re: New Underworld album?!
 

i agree...

we'll have a soundtrack album in the spring (which is a good enough start), a proper 'holdable' album by the middle of next year, and perhaps a lot more...with the prospect of a 4 piece follow up to the soundtrack and a 4 piece tour...the boys have enough material to stick on an album, and KH has said that standard issue releases are on the way....

Re: New Underworld album?!
 

The soundtrack and possible second LP from the film sessions are forthcoming, sure.

But as for a proper Underworld release (i.e. CD you can buy in stores on an international label), i'm not convinced we've been given any indication of when this will happen, other than that UW will still do it at some point. Karl said there'd be some 12" vinyls w/remixes for the clubs derived from RiverRun tracks. But a new UW album? i dunno when... yes, a lot is going on in the camp, and it's a great time for new music from uwlive. i don't think with RiverRun and the film score there's a rush to oversaturate the scene with a traditional album.

Re: New Underworld album?!
 

Dubman, read all the posts in this thread. Isnt that proof enough that communication regarding an 'album' is severly fucked? ;)

i interpret all the interviews by Karl to mean that NO album will be released and RiverRun is in fact, THE album. Of course we know that there will be singles released as well as the soundtrack, but no album.

where do you see any mention of a proper album release?

again, why is this such a big secret that someone 'in the know' cant answer it? hell, even a "karl: we arent sure" is better than all this talk of, "this track better be on the album and this one shouldnt be."

im trying to explain to friends who are new to Underworld about RRP and they ask, "ooh thats cool, but when is the album coming out." to which i reply, "um, this is the album" to which they say, "no no. the real album."

frankly, i dont know what to say at that point.

Re: New Underworld album?!
 

This gets kind of annoying, if there are people that say there are interviews where Karl stated that there will be an album, you ignore them? silly, just silly.

For all people that aren't thick skulled as others. Don't let posts like this confuse you please.
There will be an album Karl told (amongst others) Rob da Bank who said so during his BBC radio 1 show. When? I don't know, there wasn't a date nore exact time (not even the exact second, I know, they should be hanged for that) given yet.
