/edit: got it - click on the Order Number in your receipt e-mail
/edit2: no luck, it's called "Surfboy Cowgirl remaster", but it's only the 8+ minutes of Cowgirl ...

my link to the surfboy remaster was in the underworld email newsletter that showed up yesterday, not in the e-mail receipt for the pre-order.

You can listen to the BBC Radio 6 interview here with Birdstar http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04gr85p on just after Aphex Twin at about 1h 10mins

Edit: Radio 1 play of Concorde here.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04gk48n You can hear it 30 Mins in.

"This is Birdstar 2 on computer 61 and twelve-track", I think that's what Rick says. Interesting song, and the elements of other songs in both Birdstar and Concord are especially interesting.

I'm really enjoying the remastered Surfboy and I got a new appreciation for this track that sometimes I kind of considered slightly "filler" on Dubno. The remaster just sounds awesome, with very clear bass and all the sounds are really well defined and seperated and...smooth. It's actually quite a trippy track with lots of layers even though it's not the strongest "song" on the album.

Also noticed Lauren called it "Birdstar (Hall's Mix)".

Nice little anecdote from Annie Nightingale after Concorde - she just revealed that she went on tour with Freur as a DJ and fell off the stage. Didn't realise she was into them before they were Underworld.

In that 6 Music piece, Karl references 'recreating the album' and 'trying to do justice' to how it was originally performed. I'm a little concerned about that. I really hope Underworld give the Dubnobass tracks the live treatment that we've come to expect from the band. I'm dying to hear Dark And Long, Surfboy, Tongue, River of Bass and the rest deconstructed and put back together again live as they have so many of their great songs. We've been listening to Dubnobass for 20 years, we know what it sounds like. I'm hoping to go to London and hear a new version of the record, but maybe that's not what Underworld has in mind.

A republished interview with Karl from 1994. Mentions very early gigs, independant labels (JBO/WaxTrax), and early work flow for the band.


Any speculation about the upcoming maida vale session? I suspect some dub no stuff will be there, but doubt the whole thing will be dub no material. As long as they don't just play the same set they have been... i mean while I'd love a soundboard (finally) of that set, that'd be squandering a great opportunity to bring out something fresh, maybe even, dare I say it, new?
