The Underworldlive.com thread

[mmm skyscraper]

Quoting themselves today.

"I don't want to kill time, I want it to live"

I was listening to this in the car this morning and thought, "wow what a great lyric." Funny to see it right after that.

Yes please.

Busy year ahead, then, going by the Just Off the Radar interview: album, book, series of films with JW...

Votingfloater: nice touch. Actually, if Karl posted here with that user name he would get a lot more replies. Crazy replies sure. And probably more questions than comments but I like the idea.

As for the comments themselves then for those that weren't aware it gives them a basic Underworld "roadmap". Something like, 3rd Riverrun--Soundtrack--UWAlbum--More Work with Yared--other stuff.... kind of thing. I don't get the impatience of people to say "where's the album?" though. In the last few months there's been way more than an albums worth of new material and I've seen the band live half a dozen times (yes I know Underworld haven't toured certain geographic areas, but there have been live recordings filtering out in various forms featuring yet more new material not released).

yeah a new album is in order...

Stimps, i have to disagree a bit though about having material given to us...

yes, we have been blessed: with some web projects, and live materials and lots of live contact, but an UW album was kinda promised a long time ago and has taken on a back burner role...what with the soundtrack and the RRP's

I for one can't wait until the Yared Soundtrack project materialises, plus the book of photo's, plus more RRP's, but what most people know and love about UW is their commercially released albums (and releated singles) and i think that we are right to want this to come as soon as possible...(meaning when its possible for UW to do it, not straight away, unless it is ready )

if UW had said that they weren't going to release a new album then fair enough, but they have always intimated that an album was coming...

i don't wanna rush the guys...but even Karl admits its about time...and they must have enough decent stuff out of 180 pieces to make some quality albums with...

so i'm not complaining, but i prefer the Album's and Singles to anything else...the RRP is great but...

bring on the album!!!

Well as much as we want the album to come, they will decide when. Honestly, them intimating the coming of a new album, I don't know about that. They might have dropped hints of working on it, but not really that it's coming soon.

And further more, I really don't understand why you're saying "bring on the album!!!". Be thankful for what you've got now (and that a LOT, Riverrun projects (+ those that have yet to come), web broadcasts and everything.

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]UW themselves are so happy and excited they can release all the material they'ld like us to hear through UWlive.com, without any intervention from a recordcompany that binds them to limiting contracts!!!
We get to hear things that would never have been released through a recordcompany...

Plus they finally are selling their own recordings when they play live.


And indeed the webcasts and all that!
They share their journey with us, in a way no regular album can compete with, well, that's my opinion anyway.
Would you rather have an album every 2 years or so, and no contact, no webcasts, no information through a diary-website?

i am thankful,

but like i said i just think that what most people would like from Underworld is a full complete album, and they have suggested that one is coming for quite a while... if you're working on an album, surely its intimation that one is coming...and i for one think that the RRP's have come from creating music for an album, these are the bits not deemed album worthy.

I know R&K have been very busy of late, and i'm not expecting one this week but we haven't had an UW album for 3 and half years and one is due...

its all very well releasing download work, but i kinda feel that it is just a teaser, and not the real thing until i see some stuff for sale on the shelves of my record store...and album is still where its at, and one is due...when?

well, who knows, i just say bring it on.... when it comes

no rush though...

no i'd expect that as well

at least KH is doing what he loves, its easy being in some bands, make an album every couple of years and no contact, yeah for sure...but KH is a full on writer, communicator, and lover of his art...and he and Rick are able to function with their fans much more so than most groups....

but its only been recent years that we've had all this luxury...

the web is opening new doors every week, and we are being spoiled, because K&R like the technology, but lets not forget the bread and butter of what UW are and thats making (& selling) music, and still the best way to get that across to the widest audiences is through an album...

just because we have all this lovely new stuff doesn't mean we don't want an album as well...all i am saying is that an album has been hinted at and mentioned for some while now, and nothing's appeared...

if KH had said - 'thats it' no more albums then i'd be fine and accept that, but the fact is, one is due, maybe not scheduled, and all i am saying is 'bring it on', because thats what KH said today...an U/W album is 'in order'

i'm all for letting the boys do what they want, when they want, and giving us this lovely new stuff via differing formats, but whats wrong with wanting an album as well...?

[rayray]

yaaaah, he said album!
