as for their working process. i'd say it's working better than ever. it's just that what they're getting out of that process isn't to your liking now.

ultimately, how much can you expect from any artist? electronic artists rarely put together more than 2 lp's of quality material before their sound is passe. after that, they either experiment and lose their fanbase, stay the same and hear complaints of treading water and rehashing old ideas or adopt the current hot trend. *wouldn't mind hearing an UW dubstep mix, tbh*

well a counter point to this is that i am 24 and i don't know new orders old stuff as good as their new stuff. i was exposed to their new stuff first/more (other than the 5 or so common classics). I think their last 2 albumns are the best, even now, that i have had exposure to a lot of their earlier albumns...

bands don't have to go out of the lime-light after 10 years/2 albumns, it depends on the band totally. i think UW has the potential, but that is putting things in ricks head that i want... plus hearing the latest stuff like luetin and always loved a film and you do scribble... those are probably 3 of my favorite 5 uw songs of all time, but i didn't get the rr projects at all. i listened to them a few times each before they disapeared in my life...

however, i agree with BLD that they have these gold mines hiding and the next LP has big potential...



also: kid cue and duckie are anagrams or whatever they are called...

also: kid cue is a way cooler name cause of "cueing"
