underworldlive amsterdam show

[King of Snake]

uh no they didn't. It's just mislabeled.

Wow! This is really an unexpected gift as both the other concerts were released over a period of some months... Kind of spoiling the excitement in waiting for another track to pop up.
btw, who/what band was the reason that the vibe police almost busted them?

[BeautifulBurnout]

The "vibe police" comment was, I believe, referring the fact that they were told they couldn't play any longer after the Jumbo encore, even though we were all gagging for Moaner.

is this perfection... is it time for us to meet?

WHAT IS THE REAL NAME OF THIS SONG... BY FAR MY FAV UW SONG OF ALL TIME (because it includes all the parts of UW, that I LUUUUUUV

[patrick]

wow wow! this song is great... i haven't heard a new uw song since you do scribble and always loved a film... (plus the river runs). this is right up there with YDS and ALAF... teh singing is quite good!

also: 128 kpbs is totally acceptable for this... it "could" just use some boosting to beef it up a bit...

thanks so much!

[potatobroth]

ive had the first three tracks on repeat pretty much all morning (with meeting interuptions) and loving it.

No, in my opinion the mastering is really, really excellent! No clipping/distortion and full dynamic range... feel the punch of the drums when you increase the volume... it's great!

I hope UW will master their upcoming releases on CD similarly. Both BF and AHDO and their singles already where very loud but 1992-2002 and Born Slippy 2003 were even worse in this aspect...

Here is a post from me that shows what i mean...

A video on YouTube about the loudness war:


I find it really depressing when great music is being affected (or sometimes completely destroyed!) by any kind of overly agressive mastering.

I'm happy that this isn't the case here (listening to You Do Scribble over and over again... ).

Agreed, this is mastered better than any of the other concerts we've gotten so far. This show is a fantastic treat for us. Thanks!

[BrotherLovesDub]

Darc is amazing. reminds me of both Dubno and STITI style tracks but with that mature, laid back AHDO feel. keep it coming.

[lloyd]

thanks boys
Yeah, the vibe police really did end it too soon. This concert was part of the dance festival 5 Days Off. Loads of people just there because it was underworld, not fans per se. By that and the way they build up the concert/tracklisting, the crowd wasn't really into it until way in the second half. It really felt like it needed at least one more song, the place rocked by then and wanted a climax. Pity there wasn't time for more.
They made up for it with 2 3 hour gigs in Tilburg tho
