Re: Underworld to perform on new Band Aid 30 single
that was... something. That last shot of the whole group, though, Karl looks very... Karl. Peering his neck out from behind something (someone) with a crooked smile. It is bizarre to see underworld's name attached to something so mainstream, though.

Doing the olympics, and several soundtracks. this hardly feels out of place.

That's Bob Geldof. Here's the picture that they took:

Re: Underworld to perform on new Band Aid 30 single
Trivia time:

Bob Geldof and Underworld wrote a one-off musical together in 1993 that was performed in Paris.

The proceeds from that job helped fund Underworld so that they could write Rez, Cowgirl, and dubnobasswithmyheadman.

True, but most of that was working with Danny Boyle first and foremost that happened to be big things too. This isn't a performance art scenario (musical, movie, other stage production), this is a Christmas charity album featuring the likes of Bono and One Direction.

Why I had to turn down Band Aid - an interesting viewpoint of how those charity singles participate to convey a negative portrayal of the continent of Africa in the west.

Quote:
I am not disputing Band Aid’s good intentions. But the shock-factor strategy they have used since the 1980s has sparked a whole wave of “good cause” organisations that have been irresponsible with regard to the images shown to the rest of the world. It’s been totally one-sided. That’s understandable in part, as they wouldn’t raise much money if they showed the affluence, wealth, and happy lifestyles that exist in the continent. But in the process of doing all this “good work” a huge imbalance has been created.

That image of poverty and famine is extremely powerful psychologically. With decades of such imagery being pumped out, the average westerner is likely to donate £2 a month or buy a charity single that gives them a nice warm fuzzy feeling; but they are much less likely to want to go on holiday to, or invest in, Africa. If you are reading this and haven’t been to Africa, ask yourself why.

Well, I just realized that so far, the Underworld remix is MIA. It didn't make the CD single release.

apparently disclosure has distanced themselves from the project, despite initial reports that UW and Disclosure would both have remixes involved.

Re: Underworld to perform on new Band Aid 30 single
schade...(too bad!). i was reeeaally looking forward to this remix. after what they (brilliantly!) did with Manic Street Preachers - William's Lasts Words, showing how an Underworld Remix doesnt always have to be all balls and bass, I was really looking forward to Rick's take on this timeless xmas track.

boo-urns!
