the people that miss out,
are the ones who don't check here and
the other underworld sites everday.

thats one way of making people check up on
whats happening..

i never look too far ahead, because you really
can't know whats going to happen....week to week
is slightly more accurate..

the thing is i see most of the regulars on here
everyday anyways..

later

I Don't agree. I'm on this site quite very often and I've found just the opposite. With word of mouth too many people are saying too many things. There is no longer a definitive answer. Again, with the info on the new album, a YEAR ago we had word of mouth on the site saying it was almost out. We now know that it isnt. We've lost Yan as a primary information giver and for the first few years of the site, Scott was numero uno but he hardly drops info anymore. All we have now are multiple threads of rumors.

All I am saying is that its getting very hard to be 'in the know' for Underworld anymore.

I agree about the whole getting-away-from-living-to-a-release-schedule thing. Haven't they said that before? I wonder if they're just getting a kick about dropping these things suddenly and seeing how they spread. Records out of the back of a van, jumpers for goalpost, mmm... eh?

I reckon that'll change a bit in the run up to actually releasing things as solid matter. Then Karl should stand on Oxford Street in the wedding dress, holding a big "UW SALE" sign.

I'm quite liking this freeform drip-drop of juicy stuff now and then, but the buzz in the run up to physical releases would be nice.

I'm kind of glad we have no idea what's happening. AHDO was leaked months before the album release, but now everyone has to wait for the actual release date to hear new material.

There are a lot of voices on the forum, but there's a lot less BS here than on the Boards of Canada forums where you have people uploading fake tracks all the time.

What's the point of uploading fake tracks if you and everyone on that forum likes/loves the band???

That's just really f**king stupid if you ask me.

ya that sounds lame, but it would also be super hard for people to make fake uw tracks i think... such a unique sound, (plus karls voice in most)

Underworld songs are un-copy-able
They have some spirit...

(Sorry for that word, but it really belongs there)

[Dirty0900]

Ha, dont think they give shit loads of interviews, for the site i work for i put in a request for a quick interview about the use of the internet with the RRP, but have heard nothing back!

Hmmm. I get your point.

I dunno the extent to which it is "normal" for bands to release stuff to the fansites first though.
