With exchange rate included, I have to pay $95 for one ticket to the Ageha show on Oct 10... you guys back in the states are quite lucky if you're only paying $50!!

Here's a new article featuring Karl giving a brief run-down on how they made each track and why they chose the collaborators that they did. Very interesting.

About Diamond Jigsaw... "In the beginning when I wrote it, it was Keith Richards goes to Dusseldorf and joins a techno band" hahahahahahaha

hmm... no discussion of grace. which is arguably the most intriguing track on the album.

Nice find on that article.

Hamburg Hotel, with Appleblim & Komonazmuk

“It was a track that Rick wrote on a laptop in a hotel in Hamburg; it was as literal as that.

That pretty much confirms what we suspected. Written in Hamburg in the hotel on Feb. 4, 2008. Performed as the 3rd song at the Berlin show on Feb. 5. They don't come any fresher than that.

and here we have it proof if needed that they have gone back to their roots:

'A lot of the sounds that are contemporary today were contemporary when the first Underworld album appeared. Someone said to me when I was writing last year, you should really listen to the Underneath The Radar album [Underworld’s first record from 1988]. He said there are some cool sounds on that album that sound very contemporary. And that was an interesting bridge as a writer from where we came from to right now.”
