Why no release date?

So does anyone know why Underworld are being so secretive with a release date for a new album? Are they afraid if they give a numerical date, that it will suddenly leak onto the web?

Or do they just not know yet themselves?

you should be happy that they are touring, the album will come, don't be afraid!
or are you planning to die in the next couple of days?

Probz not tready yet!

I think they released details of the last album in June/July 2002 ans it didnt come out till September, hence a lot of filesharing of it.

why does the fact that knowing hte name and date of an albumn increases the amount of filesharing of it? that makes little sense to me

Easy, when people know an album is coming they'll check to see if it's leaked. I did that last time and found it pretty easily (not to mention the album "reviews" on the Dirty forums a month before release date made it a fairly easy indicator that it was out there).

Knowing the name of an album can also be the keyword to finding the album, at least with most file sharing software.

But the album came out more than a month before the release date on the internet, June to be precise. The dirty forum reviews were all over the place relatively quickly.
