Darc is not on the album ;(

[BrotherLovesDub]

arguing about minutia is what fan sites are all about. no sense telling someone what they can and can't argue about.

i'd like to see Darc on the album. i'd like to just get a studio recording anywhere.

primarily what this confirms for me is, Underworld are in a new peak zone right now. the recent material is incredible and i'm more excited for this album than i have been for any other UW release. rick and karl are operating at the peak of their abilities right now and we should all embrace these days while they last.

yeah i know thats the case, but i sometimes feel that people get down on the band for stuff that they do, or don't do, and its kind of unfair...

i mean - so what if a good track isn't on the album - its not the end of the world, i just appreciate what they do without complaint.

i think sometimes, there is a difference between opinions voiced and comments that come across as moaning (complaining)...

in this hi-tech age in which we live in we've all become to expect a bit too much and forget about the simple things in life, a lot of things are taken for granted... bands like Underworld do actually see and hear what we say now, unlike days of old where you had to write letters to them...

they hear our voices and sometimes i think that they might be a bit let down by some of the negative vibes i feel are voiced here occasionally

i may be wrong, and it may just be me being over protective, but i like to pass judgement on things when they happen and not before - being disappointed about a missing track, before hearing the entire album in context is unfair, imo

nonetheless, debate is good, but i won't pass comment on Darc being on or off the album as being a bad decision until i've heard the finished article...

well put matt.

i can see both sides but i think at this point, it's better to wait and see.

besides, we all know the Japanese release will have Darc on it

I feel the same way. Although at the same time I don't wanna get my hopes up too high.

Darc on the album would've been great because I think it shares a bit of similarity with All These Things, and then I mean the melodic vocals by Karl and a repitive, driving synthsound.

In the end, I can be happy with the live recording of the track, which is in decent quality and free to download for everyone. I mean, free music!

Remember, most people on here are pretty intense fans. A lot of people with a mild interest in UW will not know about the RiverRun stuff as it never got that much press and promtion. The UWlive stuff as well is something for the fan who wants a little bit more. If i wasn't in to as UW as much i wouldnt be none the wiser. I'm sure other acts like Massive Attack,The Chemical Bro's have fans just as wanting as UW fans for stuff but they can't cater for the hardcore fan!

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

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

You're right, of course, joethelion - I just happen to be obsesed with quality, and am a bit stupid regarding computor/audio/file thingeys In my defence, I repair 17th century documents for a living, whereby methods and materials employed have to be of archival quality.
