Darc is not on the album ;( - Page 2

Trust the guys' taste in music. It's their album and they want it to be the best album possible. If they chose not to include Darc the rest of the album must be even better!

Subjectivity is arguable, I know, but I have faith they know what they're doing and that we'll see Darc before too long. They know we want it.

well if you read the interviews about how the album comes about it sounds like they changed the tracklisting right up to the last minute... its not easy compiling an album that flows with over 180 trackss to choose from i guess...

Darc probably didnt fit the 'mood'

whatever is on the album is what 'should' be on the album... these guys have been making music longer than most of us have been listening to it, so lets just leave it to them until it comes around....

then we can complain like some people feel the need to...

i think it's human nature to complain about something... like actually searching for something to complain about just for the heck of it

I think some people were just expressing their dissapointment that this great track was not on the album. It's not "complaining" in my view but whatever.

Also I find the argument that "they've been making music for so long and know what's best" a bit silly really. I mean, obviously it's their music and they can do whatever the hell they want with it, but that doesn't mean it's neccesarily "best". How do you know that some other person compiling tracks wouldn't have resulted in a better album? (I'm just pointing out a hypothetical situation, obviously I haven't heard the album and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be great even without Darc on it). Aren't we all free to form our own opinion?

We must all think and act the same.

I wish I never made this post... i depresses me everytime i see a new reply

its not a case of not being able to voice opinions, of course its good to express feelings about things, but there must be a reason why a track is not on an album

I, personally, was offering up the fact that its Underworld's decision what goes on the album, even if we as fans feel disappointed with missing tracks or the tracks that do appear - it is their work - and they have been working hard on on...

there are tracks on previous albums i don't particulary like, and there are probably tracks i'd have preferred on the albums, but its not our choice... the album has to be Underworld's.

We can express our thoughts, but we're discussing an album that no one has heard or seen, and we're already appearing to be moaning about it.... it kinda depresses me that's all...

Darc may not (or may be) be on the album (or it may - or may not - appear as a b-side) - we could speculate for years (or at least untill October

) However, it IS on the webby as a FREE download from the Amsterdam gig - how many bands do that?? Convert it to Apple Lossless and stick it on the iPod and it sounds utterly supreme. The "Im a big sister.." guy with his "..big brown dog...like a spider on my skin.." spoken bit is just utterly magical

why did you convert it to apple lossless?

you can't "go up" in sound quality, just degrade down

so basically you've got a "lossless copy" of a 128kbps file

your're right crazysugarboy. (and so is joethelion btw

) You know it's like I'm thinking of all those people who are not Dirts, when they are going to hear the album they're gonna miss out on Darc because they probably won't download stuff from the website.

but why say that at all? It's so stating the obvious... plus you could use the same argument in relation to any discussion on Dirty that concerns underworld's music and the content of their albums and liveshows.
