Thanks for having the dedication to make this list!

Also, I found out the album is getting a US domestic release on Decca, but not until August 28. So, I'm guessing NBC had a hand in the release.

Ah, that's a shame that it didn't (and probably won't) crack the top 10.

Thanks for pointing that out. Based on his comments there, it sounds like the other tracks will get releases soon, and maybe his work on a Nuxx remix too that wasn't used. Maybe we can hope for unmixed, full versions of all the Underworld tracks.

A couple of links:

The full 3 hour and 50 minute ceremony with no commentary (but with stadium effects). Available to view 'in the UK' until January 2013.

For those wanting more information on the ceremony itself, here's 46 page the press briefing document to help people commentate and write about the opening ceremony as a whole:

Some pages (e.g. 24) appear twice. The first version was available before the event, the second after.

Caliban's Dream falls to # 21 on the UK Charts for the week 18th August 2012.
I can't see it peeking higher than #12 now that the Olympics are over.

too bad
but it´s not pop or dance after all

Closing ceremony was, er, a contrast - repeating mimed music within 40 minutes of the start - just bloody awful!
