What's next for UW?

[holden]

After the monumental work on the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics, the boys surely deserve a break!
But, there's the Spain show coming up... wondering if we'll hear anything new?

Also, amazingly, it's been 2 years already since "Barking" was released. It was 3 years between "Barking" and "Oblivion with Bells", so maybe we're getting closer? Then again, they took 5 years between AHDO" and "OWB", although the RiverRun series formed a stopgap of sorts, plus some soundtracks...

So, what do you think will be the next musical project(s) for Rick and Karl (and Darren)? Will they keep with the collaborative dance of "Barking" era, or rstick to producing themselves? Will Darren Price be more involved in the writing ( i think his tracks keep the harder edged dance vibe going)? Will they further explore the ambience of "I'm a Big Sister" and moments of "AHDO"? Or, will they surprise us all again?

And anyway, it's been really quiet around these forums. Discuss!

The diaries have made mention of new music as well as an upcoming tour and "new cultures". Danny Boyle is making a DVD of the opening ceremony and I'd be rather surprised if the boys weren't helping work on that too. With the lack of much other information, it's hard to make a guess at what's next. I'd say it's a little to close to the olympics to be expecting the unveiling of a new project, but I'm certainly hoping that whatever tour is put together brings them close to the west coast of the US, even if it's not a 'new' culture.

Maybe it's useless to try to predict, since Underworld have changed their sound and surprised us at every turn.

Personally, i like (good) surprises!

I vividly remember hearing new tracks dropped during radio shows, the excitement of trying to figure out if the Mr. & Mrs. Christmas had anything to do with "J.A.L. to Tokyo" when it was first played, whether UW were behind "Good Day Today", etc.

When the dust settles, i'd love for a Christmas-time radio show or maybe some new tracks posted on UWLive. Or am i living in 2005?!

If you are, we all are. And I wasn't even on here in 2005.
