Because UnderworldLive.com is SHIT. I love this band more than any other but their website is the most hopeless, unhelpful mess I've ever seen, and the store functionality is depressing. I don't presume to know anything inside about the UW organization but from the looks of things over the last few years, I'd guess it's a largely DIY operation. Admirable -- if it works, but it doesn't. This is one reason why UW were better off with a proper label, because there it's someone's only job to make sure the music gets to where people can easily pay money for it. It's a massive improvement that UW are availing themselves of iTunes, which is, remember, the biggest music seller in the US (world?).
