Box Set Arrived!

[holden]

Mine arrived in Houston, Texas yesterday, and it is glorious! Much nicer and bigger than expected. Great artwork! Currently enjoying the Alternate mix CD and DVD! Love you, Underworld

Still dont have it

Well, CD2, despite appearances, is fine.

But I have another complaint.

WHY ISN'T THE MIDDLE AGED MEN VERSION OF ALAF ON THE DVD?!?! That video is hilarious, but no, we get some kid building a tiny barn frame. Or a bored kid and fruit on a pedestal. Not being one of those artist-types, it's all nonsense to me. Oh well. At least the music's good.

Based on the description of the video at uwlive:

It sounds like this video was an unplanned one, and too late to include on the album.

Mind blowing package - spent my birthday hanging out in NYC with my girls- checking the art, visit to lady liberties crown, arrived home to Barking....what a day! Thanks UW & crew

Just when all hope was lost, it finally fucking arrived today. As others have stated above, the package is lush as fuck and almost pukingly artsy fartsy. The art print was nicer than I thought it would be. Everything is colorful and crisp. The alternate cd is a blast, as is the DVD. Discovered the surprise hidden instrumental tracks too...very fucking clever hiding place.

Finally some non-blurry shots of the beast for those still waiting in shity ass angst and frustration:

That type of rubbery "spindle" is used quite a bit nowdays. You kind of have to use a fingernail to coax it up through the hole, but when you do, the discs will be snug and stay put.

Hidden what? Hidden where? Please provide a bit of clue for the clueless.

Okay I'll spill the beans on the secret instrumentals....

If you just watch the video DVD on a regular store bought DVD player, the credits (featuring instrumental Moon in Water) roll and then you are taken back to the main title menu.

But...if you put that DVD into your computer's DVD-ROM drive and view the actual VOB file for the credits section, you'll see that the video extends after the credits to include a bunch of exclusive photos that are set to instrumental versions of Lousiana and Grace. Running time for the audio rip of the 3 track "Barking Instrumental Medley" is 11:12 total.

If anyone really really can't find it and needs additional help shoot me a PM and I'll try to make it a bit easier for you.
