My Interview W/Karl Hyde

[Chris M]

just wanted too share this- there isn't much new info for the hardcore UW fan, but it's just a straight out conversation that had some memorable moments. Yan, i totally stole your idea of beginning and ending the piece with quoted lyrics (i believe that came from an update you sent out last year).

hope you all enjoy

I've been listening to The Necks - Drive By for a few weeks now. Late to the party but it's a wonderful hour-long piece of music. Really interested to hear how Karl fit into the mix with them and Eno.

Nice interview. Newer photo would've been nice.

Just heard The Necks' Drive By, amazing!

thanks for the good vibes boys. i'm really hoping i can get a few decent photos from this weekends gig as well.

i recently picked some jon hopkins material, which my grilfriend has been enjoying immensely, as well as myself. wasn't sure what to expect from the necks, but the leads seem promising.

hi chris, yes i was there on the last day,
i got there early in the morning, and hung out all day
taking notes, checking out stuff, until they started
getting ready for the party..

i left for awhile, and came back that later that evening,
and got a chance to talk to a lot of the tomato crew!
and of course rick and karl.. it was an amazing event..

i'm sorry i was in my (usual) anti-social mood though,
i'm not much of talker at these events, unless someone
talks to me..

i was the indian guy, wearing all black (jacket/jeans/etc)..

be seeing you

Thanks for that interview, man. It was amazing to read that Underworld thought that '98 Los Angeles show at the Mayan was as special as I did. I was there by myself, just moved to the city, really, but I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best nights of my life. I feel great to have been part of something so important to the band, and I wouldn't have known if you hadn't done that interview.

I used to have a recording of that show, but I lost it many hard drives ago. Wonder if it is better to let it live in my memory?

Really enjoyed that interview, thanks! Liked the 'bouncing words off one-another' bit.

Also great to see other dirts getting into The Necks now, too. In addition to Drive By, the albums "Aether", "Sex" and "Hanging Gardens" are also really top stuff. But I don't think there's a single cd in their catalogue that's ever disappointed me, it's all good. They're a mindblowing band to watch live, too, as that's where you get a feel for how they work together as improv artists. Worth watching www.thenecks.com now and then to check for tour dates.. they regularly visit Europe.
