issues omitted for brevity

thanks for keeping this up to date,
i had noted the issues also, but not in as much detail...

it looks like we'll have to try some remastering/correcting
to fix them up....sigh..another project...

but at least we can add them onto bootleg babies 2..

Ooo - I was actually about to buy the set when I came here and just saw this. Not sure it's worth it if the DVD is riddled with this many basic issues. Dammit.

Bad aspect ratios are a major pet peeve of mine, so between that and the audio sync issue, this video was hugely aggravating.

shit; i'd better not look at it either - i'd convulse!

weird. i watched the whole thing and didn't think there were any issues other than the syncing being off on Beautiful Burnout.

the 'fans' will never be happy.

BBB is easy to correct. Fixing BB is not technically difficult either. Ring Road, unfortunately, nothing can be done.

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether I'm a fan or not and my corresponding level of enjoyment. The product was released with technical defects. Ring Road suffered a 33% loss in resolution. This is like a CD being mastered from MP3's instead of 24/96 masters.

i hear ya. i watched this dvd on my laptop on a 2hr flight and was sufficiently entertained. i'm not discrediting your complaints but my comment was meant to sum up my general feeling of the last year or so of fan comments on this message board. it's been more than 50% negative during a time I happen to think UW are producing the best art/music of their career. I would be very shocked if they can sustain this high quality/quantity output for very long. This should have been the 2nd glory age of Underworld but with all the complaining and moaning done by fans, it's sort of fading away.

Personally, I'm hoping for a second Riverrun-ish period once this album cycle finishes up.

My thoughts exactly. There was something really wonderful going on with Pizza for Eggs and especially I'm a big sister... Hopefully they may return to that format of presentation again.

my copy arrived yesterday
jeez, you could've signed it, karl & ric!

it's a really nice package. weighty cardboard case covered in some fine artwork and a booklet of pics and stuff. i love it when you buy music and you get a nice physical product like this - something that feels a bit spesh. i got the OWB vinyl gatefold too - v nice package inc quality
heavy vinyl. lush.

i like the fact that the boys are releasing stuff that obviously costs more to produce - the nice packaging etc clearly eats into their profits. reminds me of collecting vinyl back in the day when you got summat for your money.

Thankyou Underworld.

obviously i listened to parc over and over for ages and dipped into a few of the remixes i hadnt heard. had a quick flip thru the dvd. i hadnt seen the ring road 'hoody' vid - where have i been? it is cool & frequently funny

i didnt notice any problems with quality on anything but then the sound on my tv is a biiiit naff. i really enjoyed it more please.

how about some parc remixes? and a release of the BB 'what dog' remix which is absofookinlutely blindin'

from what karl spoke about, due to the touring and activity they
have going on now, they will possibly be going back to that format
eventually....... however, they need to finish that up before taking
a break...and then they'll see what happens..

there is literally a ton of unreleased material (we knew that), that
they would like to have organised and released....however, they
don't want to overload people either..
