Thankfully my back insert wasn't glued to the back.

The download code in the box is only for WAV? No mp3?

Indeed, offering the tracks in highest quality. You can always convert them to lossless yourself.

(If your connection is too slow to grab the whole thing I'm sure someone can help you out)

That's correct, they're 24/48 WAVs, basically the highest quality. You can convert them to FLAC to save about half the disc space without any loss of quality.


You can also dither them down to 16-bit files, or encode to whatever quality MP3 or AAC that you want, with slight loss of quality.

Thanks Guys!

I managed to snag a copy of the box set from Belgium. Unused download code, signed and numbered (I don't know if all copes were like this). Cost me €171 in total, but given how I now see copies for at least €200, so I think I got lucky-ish... well as lucky as I can be now that it's sold out.

Congrats!

Was just thinking what a blessing DRIFT would be if it'd been released this year instead of last. New Underworld and the attendant discussion would be a salve in this weird time.

Hope all of you are safe and healthy.

I don't know - i just dug out Manchester Street Poem (which came out in between Drift) and it's like i just found another new Underworld Album. just so good.

I don't know what's going on with that track. The stereo field was all out of whack in the video, and then different in the EP, and slightly different again in the album.

After doing a more careful A-B comparison, I've changed my mind and think Give Me the Room is identical between the EP and album versions.
