For all people that aren't thick skulled as others. Don't let posts like this confuse you please.
There will be an album Karl told (amongst others) Rob da Bank who said so during his BBC radio 1 show. When? I don't know, there wasn't a date nore exact time (not even the exact second, I know, they should be hanged for that) given yet.

Well I'm not sure I enjoy being called, "thick skulled" Lloyd (actually I'm not really sure that was even aimed at me.) about a topic as devoid of fact as this.

But of the 8 or so posters in this thread, at least 3 of us interpretted K's comments as having no mention of a proper UW cd.

And while im not looking for a release date in here, Lloyd, and that never was my intention. All I asked in my original question was for someone with a bit more than heresay to post whether or not there would be a proper CD released or if RRP was taking the place of a proper CD release.

Ive gone through 4 or 5 interviews and just dont see where you all are getting your information from (but i'll admit i did not hear the Rob Da Bank interview)

But i certainly dont consider Cadevil, myself or Holden to be 'thick skulled' because we intrepret an interview differently than yourself.

Right, but was Karl talking about the soundtrack album or a studio Underworld album? They are different things. And i don't think it's being thick-skulled to think reasonably about the likelihood of several online releases, 2 sounndtrack albums, a 4-person live setting, and THEN an Underworld album...doesn't that sound like a little bit much for a band that's already working very hard?

*sigh*

i'm sorry i brought this up. i didnt mean for it to turn to sarcasm. but i still read nothing that says what you say it does. i DO believe you though as you read far more interviews than i do.

"Karl also says Underworld will be back to proper record company releases in the future but they would like to experiment for a couple of years."

this much i knew. it just seemed that a good number of dirts were speaking of this 'album' as if it was stated definitively somewhere that i had yet to see.

all this talk impies that an album isn't already finished, and it may well be, but might just need polishing...

the more pressing issue is a soundtrack for a film which has a release date...so thats first for sure...so perhaps rather than putting eggs in one basket - they are working hard on the soundtrack project first

an album may only require a couple of months touching up and be ready for release sooner than you all think...

and lets not fret - we already have 50+ minutes of new material as ep like downloads, plus vinyl coming in the new year...

what more do you want, blood?

I think people were thinking of a new album the day after AHDO was released (or maybe even when the release date for AHDO was announced). People are still talking about a new My Bloody Valentine album and it's been 14 years since Loveless. If I said I wanted something to be on "the" album, it would just be whatever new album comes out, no matter how long it actually takes.

Air Towel and Puppies were being played live in 1994, one ended up on an album, the other as on an ep, but it still took 2 years for these songs to be released. I think anything they have has a potential to be on some kind of cd release in the future.

So yeah "album" as in "a potential cd that might or might not be released sometime in my lifetime"

if this is the case, then that is perhaps what caused much of the confusion for me. all my original question was looking for was a bit of clarity on the whole download : album confusion.

dont forget, some are saying that there is a proper CD coming in the summer. thats hardly 2 years.

i was never looking for a date. i was never looking for a tracklisting. if in an article somewhere karl was quoted as saying, "we plan to put out an album release sometime in the near future" that would have answered my question. thing is, i have yet to see that type of quote.

so take that confusion and couple it with the fact that some dirts are saying, "this would be great on the new album" and you have my motivation for clarification. i just wanted to know where everyone was reading that a proper album was coming because i sure as heck didnt find it on my own or in any articles that i read.

thats all. it was a simple question really. Stimp listed the believed rumors, and his word is usually pretty good to go on, so i'll go with that for now.

I'm sorry, it wasn't Rob da Bank's show. It was the interview with Pete Tong.

Excrept of interview with karl by pete tong Essential Selection 2005-11-04

K: It isn't an either/or really, we still wanne make phisical things. I'm a recordjunky I like going out and cruising the stores and find (stuff) of off the rack. This is just an initial sort of way of working were we can speed up the process. Once when things are finished to be able to make it available...

*done a quick transcript and it sounds like it was cut-up after recording to make it even harder to understand

ok that interview i did hear/read.

...and that is precisely why i asked my original question. take that interview, coupled with the quote you posted earlier about wanting to experiment for a few years and you should get to my conclusion. i trust all of you because well, youve all been the source of my info for the past 6+ years -- but i still dont see where you are all getting it from :P
