Songs cost ¥150 (about 73p). Link to Japanese iTunes

And Paul Woolford (hi paul), said in an interview for ResidentAdvisor:

"What can you tell us in the way of upcoming productions?

I have just finished some remixes of a new Underworld track called "JAL To Tokyo". This has been the focus for me, and I've put more time into it than any other project. It will be available as a download first of all in Japan only on iTunes over there, and then on Underworld's download shop, www.underworldlive.com. There will also be some vinyl floating around at some point."

Food a ready - From the sample, seems very chilled and floaty, Karls voice echoed back over itself [7.22 long]

Ancient Phat Farm Coat - Sounds nearly identical to the dirtyradio track and IS 19.00 MINUTES LONG.

Jal to Tokoyo[Paul Woolford mix] - Nothing like the essential mix version, much slower but still good.

you know, i like it when underworld used to release stuff in the uk on cds.
cos then, i could walk into a shop, and come out with something.

whereas now, to listen to the band i love, i have to learn japanese, get a credit card, etc etc.

p.s. i still haven't heard the lovely broken thing ep, cos no one helped me out. thanks.

To get Ancient Phat Farm coat you have to buy the EP for ¥1500, while the other 3 cost only ¥150 each. This means that track on its own costs ¥1050 (£5.13) which is a bit steep, 19mins long or not.

However, unless you have a Japanese credit card it doesnt matter because you can't buy it from outside Japan. Of course, you could buy a Japanese iTunes Gift Voucher.

...or wait until the EP appears in the UWlive store

what was the problem? ant has sorted a lot of problems with buying from the store. non A-Z/1-9 chars caused a lot of the problems.

Do you need a card for it?

I don't think i can buy it again as its allready saved in my account

Samples sound good, shame its not in reach!

it's not an admin problem. i'm 17, and at uni. no credit card, no parents to ask, etc.

i'll wait till i get home or something...as long as they don't take it down between now and january...

....how soon can we expect to see the EP in the UWLIVE store? I'm itching to hear all 19 minutes of Ancient Phat Farm Coat.
