Special Editions of new album

[Dirty0900]

With everyone doing special editions of albums with extra artwork, packaging etc, how much would you pay for something like that for a new UW release, and what would you expect?

UW have done something to an extent in the past with a unique photo being in the first few editions of the Belly book, but I'm unsure what they could do that hasn't already been done.

Well, the last album had a DVD in it. The japanese 1992-2002 had a DVD in it also...

if they do a special edition it will probably be Japan only.

What was on the Japanese DVD with 1992-2002? I'm working on a compilation of all the underworld audio only available in DVD menus or radio broadcasts or the old underworldlive.com and I don't thnk I even knew about that one.

I totally want a special preorder for this coming album - maybe another t-shirt + a bonus dvd? I cannot live with just one Underworld t-shirt. Hahaha.

Blu-ray of visuals from Tomato and music from UW would be ideal (hint, cough, hint). MMM 120Hrz 1080P, I luv U!

What I'd really like to see is the album continue on in downloadable content....have it fade out or stop right as something cool is happening, then release 30-45 minute mixed track EPs on a timed schedule (similar to RiverRun project) that picks up the album where it left off and continues it for hours on end.

Remixes from Underworld themselves (a la "Barking Mix" of King of Snake) a month or two after the fact. A whole "Reworked" remix album featuring only Rick, Darren, and Karl's changes and additions would be a REALLY interesting idea.

Downloadable song stems and WAVs of individual loops, beats, tracks, vocals, etc. for endless and creative fan mixes/variations. This could be done with a code printed on a ticket where you'd go to a website to download. You could include this ticket in normal edition too and charge for the content or limit it to somthing like "try one song, buy Stems of the rest of the tracks for X amount of $")

Something nice to display at work in a cubicle that's classy and isn't all marketing and advertising "UNDERWORLD!!!1!!!". Just some nice art for people to talk about or admire as they walk by.

Rock Band or Guitar/DJ Hero tracks from this or previous albums.

Numbered and signed drop of blood from all three band members.

Really depends on what's in it for how much I'd be willing to pay......US $40-$50 is about where I'd draw the line though.

the japanese special eds. are way too expensive. i remember when i went to buy 1992_2002 and wanted to get the japanese release with the dvd, the catalog from the store had it marked at almost 80dollars! i paid 80dollars for the in rainbows discbox. i had to settle with the 'regular' special editions of 1992_2002 and OwB.

also, i live at the end of the world, so there. records are crazy expensive here. and underworld releases are scarce. i haven't seen OwB in a store, ever.

so, if i wanted a special edition of the new album, i would love to see a product which documents the creative process the album: CD+DVD, book with tons of pretty images to look at, and things you can't get in the normal editions.

also, a packaging that won't get lost during the shipping process. just because i don't want to upset danielle again. she's so nice and she doesn't deserve to deal with my missing packages...

I want a special edition with hidden track that plays a recording of Rick and Karl laughing their asses off at the Good Day Today thread and all the 'this isn't underworld' nonsense.
