I nearly crapped my pants when i read todays UW live.


thank you Underworld!!!!

We are in a privileged position as far as Artist-Fan communication is concerned. It really doesnt bother me right now about an album materialising this year or early next. If little bits of material keep dribbling out (as they have done) then its better than The Stone Roses disappearing for 5 years and then coming back with a Led Zeppelin album, or The Happy Mondays snorting crack on a caribbean island and then churning out the mediocre "Yes Please" (no thanks!) album.

so not including EE, and anthology...its
been pretty regular with the album releases.

im very pleased with the RRP, and im loving the bootlegs from the recent (yet small) tour. im excited about the soundtrack, and the new band about to form. i love that UW gives us so much and for that i thank them.

but...

there is just something to be said of an Underworld album. yes, Stimp, we are in a priveledged position, but we are also super fans. there are friends of mine that arent devoted to scouring every resource possible to get the latest listen. they are the people that want the new album, new singles. i tried to convince them that there is tons of new material out there to be found, but they just said that they'd wait for the new album. after awhile i realized that we were both right. to a superfan, RRP sounds complete, sounds great. but to a regular fan, it sounds like experiments that are leading up to something. to a superfan, the little segues between tracks at the Electraglide Tokyo festival are just-as-good-if-not-better than a studio album, but to the regular fan, they dont exist because they didnt spend DAYS tracking down mp3s of it on ebay.

so i can see it both ways. luckily im in the boat with the uber fans and have gotten a listen to most of the new material, but i can still see it from the casual fans point of view. another UW album sounds like a great idea to me right about now :P

just out of curiousity, has anyone been keeping track
of worldwide album sales? for-
anthology
a hundred days off
beaucoup fish

i know the previous ones did really well..
and of course they're one of the top 'dance'
artists in europe and of course japan..

are album sales really that important any more?

it wasnt that small. 20 dates. just geographically concentrated.

as for the rest, i can only speak as an uberfan.

Most of us would be happy to travel if UW could hit our continents....
