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!

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?

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!

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

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

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.

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.
