compared to the by the numbers mixes we hear?
dont' you wonder what the disconnect between
commercial releases and online (and sometimes
free) projects are?

i don't see a disconnect/disparity, i take them all for what they are meant to be. each avenue/channel has it's own value to the fan/listener/collector but few bands have given the fans such a wealth of material to digest, most of it for free. i'm not sure why you are having such a hard time with remixes other people have done for UW. i could give a shit about the remixes. i'm not an underworld fan to see how some other fool can rework their songs. those mixes are for club play. as far as what Rick, Karl and Darren have done with the music they've created live and in the studio for the last 3 years or so, i think it includes the best music to have Underworld's name on it. Tomato have done a great job with the live visuals and artwork for the releases/book of jams. videos don't mean shit to me and haven't since i eagerly awaited Duran Duran's new video (Union of the Snake) way back in the day. i was left disappointed by that, and haven't really given a shit about that particular promotional tool since.
i picked up Boy Boy Boy cd single, Oblivion Ball and The Bells, The Bells from the post office today and couldn't be happier.
