Does UW/music-industry have data to support the opposite? Nothing would be worse than to release a Japan-only tune and have 30 online sales from underworldlive.com but see a thread of 500 people talking about downloading it.

Mmmmmm????

There's just 1 week left, and no official cover art or tracklist. What's going on?? I pre-ordered it from HMV, but I don't think, It will release next week.

Myspace has a 12" tracklist, and an image (but not cover), but no infos from the CD.

Seems here is the artwork:

Not quite feeling it. It's a little too minimal for my taste, and reminds me of some new wave record cover of the early 80's or something.

I really like the typographic covers for "The Bells" and "Boy Boy Boy", but i think the leafprints for "Beautiful Burnout" and "Crocodile" are my faves of the set. This latest stylistically doesn't go with any of them.

This artwork is highly derivative of Russian Contstructivism, a movement I've always had a fondness for.

You can see some samples here from El Lissitzky.

i said it before and i'll say it now.
*I* was supposed to be the one surreptitiously trying to revive suprematism for the general audience. i've been getting away with using it as a springing board throughout all of college. no fair that underworld beat me to it right as i graduated... . now it'll just look like i'll have copied tomato

though i didnt think i would be that flagrant about it

[BrotherLovesDub]

will buy on 12" for maximum visual satisfaction.

A+++++ FAST SHIPPING!

haha 80's retro thats why I like it

tbh - i've had my fill of typographic covers now from Tomato - not that i don't like them - and i really adore 'the bells' cover, but i like this new move to something different and font stye on the ring road single...

it's kinda styled like Duran Duran from around the Rio era - now where's Karl in white slip ons on a boat when you need him?

in fact its like this one - http://www.discogs.com/image/R-137594-001.jpg
