Karl Hyde solo album - Edgeland, April 22, 2013

[Dirty Saint]

A flurry of activity from Underworld;
Karl…
April 2013 will see the release of Karl Hyde’s debut solo LP, Edgeland. It features nine tracks that were recorded over a year in London with multi-instrumentalist and producer Leo Abrahams (whom Karl met whilst collaborating with Brian Eno on Pure Scenius). Edgeland is a graceful and meditative collection that explores the limitless possibilities of what late film director Anthony Minghella christened ‘esoteric Underworld’ – something that’s existed on record since Dubnobasswithmyheadman.
Edgeland is released in Japan on April 10th and across the rest of the world on April 22nd on deluxe CD/DVD, standard CD, download and 12" vinyl. It is also available for physical pre-order in the [COLOR=#0000ff]underworldlive shop.[/COLOR] The first 150 pre-orders from underworldlive (across all physical formats) will each receive a unique, signed and numbered photograph taken by Karl documenting the journeys through the edgelands that inspired the album. Each physical format purchase will also receive a digital version of the album in their inbox on the day of release (we of course aim to have pre-ordered physical stock with you on or very close to that date).
You can hear the first taster from Edgeland - 'Cut Clouds' and for a limited time only download the track for free [COLOR=#0000ff]here[/COLOR]

Wonder what this means for Underworld as a duo? Just spending some time on other projects or will this be the focus?

[Dirty0900]

Pre ordered, wonder if I'll get a photp

Who is Leo Abrahams?

The free download of Cut Clouds appears in my iTunes as "Cut Clouds" by Leo Abrahams, album artist Karl Hyde. I've preordered too, 150 isn't a lot though!

[undarrenworld]

Pre ordered too

Leo Abrahams is a great guitarist and collaborator of Brian Eno, and its known that he met Karl hyde during Pure Scenius project in 2009. Which was fantastic...

Pre-ordered. Have no clue what number I am or if I even made the cut.

[jetpig]

two copies of the cd/dvd preordered. It'd be funny if one was 150 and one was 151...

edit: One of the images on the homepage is now a link to the edgeland page. Any wild guesses on what any of the last 4 images could end up linking to? Pipe dream: Archive of all THEIR show recordings =D

[Dirty0900]

Am I being thick about not seeing a link to buying on vinyl?
