Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Speaking of 20th Anniversary, not much info available on this yet:

Underworld - Anthology 1992-2012, 3CD set:
http://cdon.no/musikk/underworld/ant...rt%5D-17050737
http://www.imusic.dk/cd/071129798422...y-1992-2012-cd

but it looks like "Big Meat Show" is getting an official release. Also, first-time digital releases for "The Hump" and "Minneapolis". Also good for "Why Why Why" for those who missed the Japan CD release. And "Parc (Live)" could possibly be something previously unheard.

Also due for release on the same day, 1-disc Underworld - Collection:

http://www.imusic.dk/cd/071129798442...-collection-cd

This one looks most notable for an unmixed "Beebop Hurry" and maybe "Cowgirl (Live)", unless it's just the Everything Everything version.

Thanks to chino for pointing out these releases.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I'm guessing Parc live is the same one we all know.

What's "Second Hand" again? I can't remember.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

It's on Cafe Del Mar Vol 1

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Looks like much of the original 1992-2002 cd set is revisited with a couple of new gems sprinkled in (Always Loved a Film is notably absent though), with a 3rd disc of b-sides that could be nice to have in one place.

The Big Meat Show is a track I don't believe I'm all too familiar with (hearing elements of Tongue and other Dubno tracks in the mix):

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Would be interesting to see what kind of cover art the releases will get and if there will be new remixes for any of the songs like the way NUXX was for the 1992-2002 release.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

A couple interesting choices in the tracklist, such as "To Heal" and "Simple Peal", and perhaps worth it for some CD quality versions of B Sides.

Underworld 1992-2002 didn;t exactly excite, although it was kind of fun to hear tracks in a different order and a few different fade outs/breakdowns.

Maybe the 20th Anniversary will hold more surprises - a wildly different NUXX? A jazzy mellow Cowgirl? Prob not.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

my how time flies..

yes, some nice extra tracks..
could always use more..

but hopefully they'll have some
nice new remixes for some other song..

pearls girl 2012? dirty epic, dark and long?
something besides born slippy or cowgirl..

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

A vinyl release would be lush.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

These feel weirdly arbitrary... the Collection hits you with a bunch of odd tracks - collaboration type stuff that ISN'T on the new Anthology, then the Anthology goes to 3 discs when it could have just been done with no overlap with the previous one spanned over 2 discs... the first 2 discs feel arbitrary, swapping what - 4 songs off? Odd.

I'll buy them both, to be sure, but I still find them odd... LOL

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Will buy everything... at least for The Hump, The Big Meat Show and Minneapolis...

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I hope they announce some "Anthology" tour dates ;)

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Underwhelmed. I want some new stuff.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

HMV Japan has more detail for "Collection" and artwork for both...

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/4248905/track/1

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/4248914

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

In the absence of analogue masters, 45rpm 180g vinyl, 24/96 digital will do.:eek:

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

So, some interesting things from the HMV pages. First of all, it looks like both will be released early in Japan on Beat Records (wonder why not Traffic?) on Dec. 7 (or the 11th, according to Beat).

Secondly, the interesting tracks on A Collection:

10. Underworld / Dark and Long (Dark Train) 2011 edit (2011)
11. Underworld / Mmm Skyscraper I Love you 2011 edit (2011)
14. Underworld / Rez 2011 edit (2011)
16. Underworld / Moaner (2008)

Now, I wonder if "2011 edit" means remix like NUXX 2003?

Other items of note on A Collection:
Cowgirl Live (2000) is probably from Everything, Everything
Beebop Hurry would be the first time available unmixed.
King of Snake is probably unmixed with Shudder. That version was previously only available on the Japan single CD, and a few promo 12". Might be interesting to some people.

On The Anthology:
Parc Live (2005) is probably just the same as what appeared on The Bells The Bells then.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

i wonder why "the big meat show' is on there but "can u feel me?", "organ" and the longer version of "river of bass" are absent? maybe this is some kind of a preliminary tracklist as it seems to be kind of a weird compilation.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

also it seems to me that it would be better to have a new order "substance" approach— for the most part, if it's on an album it doesn't get put on the anthology.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

...reissue, repackage, repackage... double pack with a photograph, extra track and a tacky badge...

hoping there will be some minor 2011 tweaks here or there on either of these releases. i'm sold on the artwork alone. :D

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

i concur.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I expect the "edits" are just to squeeze the tracks on the disc. :(

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I'm more optimistic than that. There were edits for time on 1992-2002, and none of those were labeled "2002 edit". There was Born Slippy (2003 Edit); granted it was "Edit" because it was an edit of the 12" mix, which is not the case here. But hopefully it's more interesting than just a fade-out.

But actually, taking a look at the tracklisting more closely, it doesn't add up. If we take the album times for everything:

1. The First Note is Silent - 5:40
2. Scribble - 6:58
3. Beebop Hurry - 3:05
4. Downpipe - 8:10
5. Crocodile - 6:30
6. To Heal - 2:36
7. Two Months Off - 9:08
8. Jumbo - 6:57
9. NUXX - 11:37
10. Dark Train -
11. Mmm Skyscraper -
12. Pearl's Girl - 9:36
13. Cowgirl Live - 3:40
14. Rez -
15. King of Snake - 8:56
16. Moaner - 7:38

even without the 2011 edits, we're already over an hour and a half, which is way too long. That doesn't even account for some of them that have longer versions, like Jumbo or Moaner. Let's try it with radio edits then:

1. The First Note is Silent (Radio Edit) - 3:36
2. Scribble (Radio Edit) - 3:50
3. Beebop Hurry - 3:05
4. Downpipe (Radio Edit) - 3:17
5. Crocodile (Radio Edit) - 3:51
6. To Heal - 2:36
7. Two Months Off (Radio Edit) - 3:59
8. Jumbo (Edit) - 4:08
9. NUXX (Short) - 4:23
10. Dark Train -
11. Mmm Skyscraper -
12. Pearl's Girl (Edit) - 4:24
13. Cowgirl Live - 3:40
14. Rez -
15. King of Snake (Straight Mate Mix) - 3:51
16. Moaner (Short Version) - 4:10

This makes more sense. Given the sheer number of tracks on A Collection, it's gotta be all radio edits. Without the 2011 edits, this is at 49 minutes, which means 25 minutes left over for the 2011 edits. Since those 3 don't already have radio edits, it means these new 2011 edits are probably radio-ish edits, 3-5 minutes long each. So the total Collection runtime will come in at just over an hour.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

OK, track timings are up for Anthology on Amazon JP:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/tracks/B0...s_all_1#disc_1

Assuming the timings are accurate, here are the highlights:

1. Jumbo, full version 9:12, previously difficult to obtain
2. The Hump, previously only available on limited vinyl
3. An apparently longer version of Big Meat Show. 9:05 vs. 6:51 on the demo DAT.
4. An apparently longer version of Minneapolis. 10:04 vs. approx. 9:07 on the vinyl.
5. Full version of Why Why Why (12:12)
6. Second Hand. Previously only available on Cafe Del Mar collection.
7. Parc (Live) (2005). Possibly a previously unreleased version. Track timing (3:28) does not match any previous release (Amsterdam - 7:39, The Bells The Bells - 4:16, Brixton - 8:15). It was known to have been played in 2005 at Montreux Jazz Festival and Melt Festival.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Second Hand is just a cut down Thing in a Book right? 3+min Parc? Seems way too short to even get all the verses in.

eh. Looks like I'm passing on this one.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I think what is really surprising is that Please Help Me is missing.

This track was widely discussed as a favorite of UW, and it was said that it didn't fit stylistically) on Beaucoup Fish.

The track listing is bizarre/conservative to say the least.

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Nice find, Im looking forward to that!:)

Re: Underworld "Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Track timings are up for A Collection now too, and I was right. It's Radio Edits for everything. The only surprise is that the 2011 Edits are a little bit longer than expected:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0067UH11...d_rhf_dp_p_t_2

10. Dark Train (2011 Edit) - 6:14
11. Mmm Skyscraper (2011 Edit) - 7:45
14. Rez (2011 Edit) - 5:59

Re: Underworld "The Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

great,
more stuff to track!

i'm only two years behind!

Re: Underworld "The Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I find it strange that there are all these edits... aren't UW against them... that was why Doot Doot wasn't on the Vanilla Sky OST. weird... seems like the boys are breaking all their rules...

Re: Underworld "The Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

I guess to get into the more mainstream places you sell CDs like airports and Walmart you need a 1CD compilation. Plus the edits are radio friendly.

Re: Underworld "The Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

i welcome new edits as opposed to getting a compilation of already owned tracks... if that were the case - I'd just burn my own CD with the same tracks and download the artwork.

had i not already hunted and caught a copy of that 9:12 version of Jumbo - I'd be super thrilled with the new anthology. so i'm mildly excited.

i will say that i'm a little confused as to the non-cohesive track listing of the compilation single disc, however, it doesn't seem like it was track-listed to be played from beginning to finish. at any rate - thank you underworld for giving me something more. :D

Re: Underworld "The Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

Seems to me like the best part about this might be the artwork. Unless you're manic-obsessive about getting everything by them, you should have most of the material already, and the "rarities" are easily obtainable through other means.

Re: Underworld "The Anthology 1992-2012" and "A Collection": Release Jan. 23, 2012
 

i wanna. both of them. convenient format for car riding or cd player undusting (or when i'm physically cleaning the computer)

there'll be some kind of sale via underworldlive? it seems the japanese release date is earlier than the rest of the world. also, a january release date is easier on my pocket (stupid xmas shopping).
