New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)

[lowbit]

Urgh...looks like ordering the Ltd Ed through underworldlive.com will cost me US$3 more (with shipping) than getting it via Amazon. Anyone know if there's any difference between the packages from the two sources?

I believe that the packaging (box) will be exactly the same but the UnderworldLive.com exclusive includes an art print... so wouldn't that be worth it for $3?

Yes, an exclusive, signed, numbered print, to be exact.

Well...to be honest I'm really interested in the music rather than the art (UW are musicians, after all), and am pretty irate that it's going to cost me circa US$70 to get a version of the new album that includes the disc of remixes, so I was debating not purchasing the Ltd Ed at all.

Then I decided to go for it (support the artist and all, I guess) and discovered that the cost of shipping if ordered from underworldlive.com was US$14, which is more than the regular album itself. :P So...back to possibly ordering from Amazon?

I dunno...I don't doubt this is blasphemy among the hard core faithful, but at this point I'm just waiting to hear that for the next tour they'll be yet again playing only New York, LA, and San Francisco when they come to the US, leaving the millions of us not living on the fashionable east or west coast yet again in the lurch, at which point my UW fandom will have been eroded far enough that I won't care and will be glad I didn't spend the $70. :|

I hope they play in Boston. They played in Boston in 2007 or 2008. NYC is close to 5 hours away from my town. Boston is an hour from my town.

Lowbit, if you can afford the ltd edition box set, go for it, I say. You are supporting music artists who are true artists and you'll have a great UW collectible. I thought about just getting the album, but I'd like to get that second CD and the price is high but it'll be nice to support them and get the second CD in a guilt free manner (legally).

Well you dont expect them to play Wisconsin do you? I'm sure Madison isnt that far from Chicago which has to be a candidate for a gig. If they don't at least youve got Chad Vader

The last time they played Chicago was in 2002 although it had seemed like they enjoyed playing there in the late 90s (shows in 1998, 1999, and 2002).

I always cross my fingers and hope to see a Chicago show, but I've ended up buying 2 plane tickets to see them elsewhere in the States. It would be really sweet not to have to get on an airplane to see them this time

And yes, at least we have Chad Vader

Whoa, you tellin me there's fellow Wisconsin dirts???

I don't expect a Wisconsin show either, but anywhere even remotely close would be great. I'd travel further to see UW than any other group, but when the US tour is just like LA/New York/Boston it's more like I have to take a vacation to see them.

for the OwB tour, I did all the US dates..

as rabid as we dirts are, the boys just don't have the pull here that they do elsewhere.

the attendance for the second night of the san francisco leg was a fraction of what it was the first.

red rocks was cancelled - and relocated to the much smaller fillmore - due to low ticket sales.

the cavernous bank of america pavilion in boston was barely 3/4 full.

combine that with the fact that karl and rick generally aren't interested in 'standard' venues - opting for the more 'scenic' and 'iconic' spaces - and you've got a pretty good idea of why the US tour only hits a handful of cities.

not sure if i'll do the entire thing again.. but i had such an amazing time in 2007 - truly a trip i will never forget - that i just might have another tour of my own!
