and personally (and selfishly) i don't like drum 'n' bass and wouldn't be that happy if this album went that way again....

new sounds new era is what i'd be looking for...Underworld are surely more inventive than doing drum 'n' bass again....?

to me that second part of drum 'n bass (starting at about 18.00 after the break) is definitely a new production an not an improv. Way too developed for just an improv. It also doesn't sound anything like PG or Tin There to me. Sorry I just don't hear the resemblance at all. The only thing in common is that they have breakbeats. I don't see the problem with it really, surely the whole album isn't gonna be drum 'n bass so I just think it's nice they mix up the familiar 4 on the floor with some breakbeats. By your logic every time they made a techno track they would be "going back" because the first music they made was techno music, the drum 'n bass influence only came later on STITI.

If they touched on the best parts of Dubno, STITI, BF, and AHDO with the new album, that would be a very very good thing!

Listened to this show again, and that's either one wiched improv, or two amazing new tracks i hope to hear again soon! Mixing right into "Silver Boots", i hope!

I'm not going to read too much into this. I mean, look at the variety of stuff they've been listening to/playing on the webcasts.

I don't think this stuff has the feel of STITI at all though. That's not a criticism, it just feels different; so I'm just going to wait and hope for the best.

In bits - the breaky drum bit after the vision come on bit - it reminded me of ShoutTwice from UWlive. Not derived from it, just reminds me of it.

The more I listen to this though, the more I'm enjoying it.

my theory is, having listend to the track several times now, that it is new material of some description, but i don't believe that it will be:

a) a single or b) included on the new album

Underworld have always interspersed their gigs and filled the voids between populist tracks with sounds developed that have never seen the commercial like of day....some of these are 'soght after' by the fans...

we're all salavating at the prospect of new material and at the drop of the hat people get excited if anything can be interpreted as such...but why play a fairly non-descript track - with no name, at your first gig back and not tell anyone about it...it may have a name it may exists but it doesn't mean anything (yet)

no, its not gonna be released because it was nothing special, imo...it maybe that elements of the track make up tracks on the album, but knowing the way these things work, we'll get an 'official' single release and then the album, and the single release will be the track to get people to go out and buy the album...if this is the first single - no-one new will be buying the album....

i'd love some kind of confirmation of what this track is, and it was anice surprise to hear something new, but its no KOS or TMO...the launch tracks for the past two albums...

still we'll see what comes out...and maybe those going to HMH on the 17th can confirm anything new for certain....

Karl said in the interview - and this is quoted verbatim - "There are some eh new tunes on here that have never been released, um, which WILL be released... coming up very soon in fact, but we're just trying stuff out tonight."

So depending on what you count as a "release", these could be album tracks, b-sides, or uwlive releases. Or Karl could be confused about which part of the gig was being broadcast.

Like I said, I'm trying not to read too much into it, but I agree that this is unlikely to be a lead track from the album.

I don't think Karl's comments had anything to do with the specific part that was broadcast. He just got off stage and had no way of knowing which part they were gonna air. I'm sure they played more new material on that gig, and some of it will be released (duh). I agree that the track we hear will probably not be a single, at least nog as we heard it. Could still be an album track or b-side though. As soon as we hear the first single, we'll al know it

So do you think an album has been done? Or they'll go back to the studio after these brief dates to work on things based on crowd reaction? I think an album will not drop till at least October,i'm sure there still experimenting.

[holden]

They might have to make the tracks more "woofter doofter", depending on crowd reaction
