Rick Smith scoring Danny Boyle's 'Trance' - March 25, 2013 release

I dunno, "parting ways" seems a little premature. Hopefully it's a detour, not a dissolution.

Perhaps, as jetpig suggested, the work will just be sifted into different channels (just as UW and Tomato have been for years). Rick'll have his soundtrack work under his own name, Karl his art exhibitions. And every so often they'll meet to give us the glorious whirlwind that is Underworld.

As long as they still perform every few years somewhere in between the US coasts, I'll be happy.

I recall them saying in interviews a few years back that this was the direction they wanted to head in. Being able to focus on their myriad side projects and getting together every once in a while to concentrate their artistic impulses into Underworld awesomeness - if I remember correctly they even said they wanted to eventually defer the Underworld moniker on to a new generation! I'm sure there would be a lot of takers on this forum.
