Hope these new songs don't go on RiverRuns
Because..........

There are a few new UW tunes out there such as "Bamboo, Between Stars, Diamond Jigsaw, You Do Scribble" which are sounding very exciting and encouraging and is seen by some folk as a true return to form.

Whilst the RiverRuns are a source of new material, the problem is that they only really get out there to the hardcore UW fan. Plenty of casual listeners won't be aware of the stuff that is on there. Stuff like JAL and Lenny Penny are good songs that are hidden away.

I really think that if a new album was released with the above new songs on, it could propell UW back in to the mainstream again. Think about it, OWB didn't get any major radio/TV play. Singles weren't played on daytime radio, though supporters like Rob da Bank did give exposure.

The Prodigy returned this year and so far all there singles have been given major airtime on radio/TV, despite your opinion on how good you think they are. Even Royksopp got some press with there last effort. I can pretty much guess that when Massive Attack decide to come back, they will be given a lot of attention due to their reputation.

When AHDO came out, it premiered on Pete Tong and made daytime Radio 1 giving it a top 20 chart place, even Dino 3D got something as well. But OWB didn't which was annoying as there are songs on there which deservered mroe exposure.

In a nutshell, these songs on a new album could spark new life back in to UW if there ever released.
