[TheBang]

Those listings have started disappearing from retailers. This additional one characterizes the release as a "CD / Single":

Nothing ever feels like it's dragging with them though, as there is no real album cycle and they constantly put out 2-5 a year. And between their Bandcamp notices and email list I still feel like I have some idea what is going on (which Underworld used to be amazing at - remember all the free download emails, studio broadcasts, and Xmas messages?!)

Yeah, that's fair. I suppose for all their releases with major distribution, the news is almost always leaked via people finding them on Amazon and so on beforehand, but as you say, it's not quite the same as there's always been another record a few months before.

And so the mystery continues. Maybe it's an EP? Given that they haven't put out a CD single single 'Crocodile' I can't imagine one coming along now.

Hmm... so two of the original listings have gone and two are still there, plus one new one. Seems like something is probably still happening for that date and the pricing did seem like a full album.

I would normally have expected Strawberry Hotel to be the next single drop from the ones we know, but definitely not on CD, as everyone's mentioned. The new "CD / Single" info may just mean one physical CD (vs. two or more, which is getting more common), as it's part of a details/specs section, hard to tell.

Hopefully these listings have been noticed (and our noticing has been noticed) and something is getting announced soon...

Nah, that site uses CD / Album on its album pages. Although interestingly the linked page now just states TBC CD rather than anything titled.

Ah, good catch, should have looked around on there. Oh well, ever hopeful...
