For now, Underworld has yet to schedule any 2006 live dates, but the pair is already being rumored to make an appearance at April's Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif.

"We are looking for unusual places to play -- special events, like playing on a mountain, or at the ocean or the desert," Hyde says. "Playing at sunrise and sunset, two or three times a day. People can tempt us with cool and interesting places that will inspire not only us but people who come to the show."

Also on the horizon is a tantalizing potential collaboration with electronica legend Brian Eno, who became friendly with Underworld while they were working in Croatia on behalf of the War Child campaign.

"We played him most of the 180 pieces of music in his studio last year and he just started picking up instruments and jamming over the top of them," Hyde says of Eno. "We have a live studio up here in the country. He said, 'Can I come up and bring my gear and jam, and see where it takes us, in terms of a live project?' At that point, we were touring and working on the film. But we've kept this virtual studio alive passing files back and forth and waiting to hear what Brian is doing with our words. When the dust settles after the film, we can think about getting together in one room and improvising."

"Hyde says he and partner Rick Smith have more than 180 pieces of music ready to go, but that some of them may wind up being used for Underworld's next studio album, which should be out by early 2007. "

eh, what?

"Veteran U.K. electronica act Underworld is prepping the third installment in its recently launched Riverrun Project of downloads, which group member Karl Hyde tells Billboard.com "is probably a bit more chilled than the other two" that have already been unveiled."

err.. didn't we just hear that the next one would be 'techno'?

and it doesn't get much more chill than PFE..
