This is different.

Don't hear one familiar sound in any of that, save for Karl's voice. That's both exciting and terrifying.

For what it's worth the pre-order link for the MP3 download shows the track lengths:

I Exhale 8:11
If Rah 7:13
Low Burn 6:45
Santiago Cuatro 4:01
Motorhome 6:24
Ova Nova 5:32
Nylon Strung 6:48

==ps== The shipping for the deluxe / signed package is 60 GBP (approximately $90) to the USA.... yikes. But for all that the package comes with, I guess that's expected... The band doesn't set the shipping price.

Longest track 8 minutes? Maybe a silly thing to be disappointed about, but I am.

FWIW, there's a version of Santeago Quatro on the 2008-04-23 Lemonworld broadcast. It was written during/after the South American shows in April 2008.

The sounds in these clips feel very harsh and distorted for Underworld. They've been posting a lot of analog gear on their Instagram over the last year, maybe that accounts for it.

Re: New Album: Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future
 

Just occurred to me that this is the first UW album since A Hundred Days Off where we haven't already heard a considerable number of the tracks in other forms. Both Oblivion and Barking had loads of stuff the band had performed or streamed in primordial form. Nothing to compare these to, with the exception of Santiago Quatro.

This. Totally this.

100 quid box doesn't do enough for me. Vinyl isn't my thing. Good luck to you people getting in on the first 100 though!
