I know UW has been generous, but it's still disappointing. I mean yes we do have Silver Boots from the radio show, but in the form of a 96kbps MP3 which is really low. The reason why it sucks is because even though I did like OWB, I think the newer, unreleased material is just as good as the best of the old stuff. If I could sequence a UW album just based on the unreleased stuff I know of I could cobble together something just as good as their classic material. They've definitely released some good stuff in the last 6 years 'officially', but it is frustrating to know that they have so much quality stuff in the vault that may never see an official release.
I can believe that they're bored of the LP format, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but it just seems weird to think that great stuff like "You Do Scribble" might never see official release...how many groups just sit on tracks like that??

seconded. i lost most of the unreleased stuff by just not paying attention to underworld live and i'm just catching up with the "new" stuff. to have one of these tracks in my media player implies that i must illegally download the track or ripping it using audacity, then editing the thing to manage to get decent sound quality. in case for webcasts, it gets more difficult.
i do love the new tracks and the different variations of them, but not having them in a 'proper way' (as single-serve tracks) can get a little annoying. i love my cds and vinyls very much, thank you. adding the fact that i also lost most of u/w mkI and mkII because i live at the end of the world and getting stuff over here is almost impossible.
