I understand that. But honestly I wonder why stuff like this is not released digitally. You can still have a physical copy, just give me the option to pay whatever to download it.

Totally. Was just speaking for myself and do see your point. As I said, better digital-only at a reasonable price than not being able to hear it at all.

i think it was very significant when you look at their long list
of releases..

Riverrun, to me, went under 'something they did because they always wanted to'. Although it surely is significant for their ambient catalogue and I do like bits of it, I never got quite into it. And this is partly due to it not being a physical, 'proper' release. If I think of Underworld albums, it's the six official studio works on CD, not including the Riverruns. Additionally, I'm all for the banging, patterns-y stuff.

maybe you were referring to just a physical release? but why limit it to CD's only?

Point taken. So I should speak of 'non-physical releases'. CDs only because I grew up with the idea that an album is something you buy, hold in your hand, (rip to your hard drive,) and put on the shelf. I understand it's irrational and antique, and don't attempt to treat this view as universal.
