New Japan only CD/DVD set coming soon

[spacejunk]

I reckon this preview is not the version that will appear on the CD. The preview is just to let us know what the track is and is not it's final form.

I'd be very surprised if this is not the final thing. I think this "developing the song live" idea turned out quite good and I'm very much looking forward to listen to this on the CD. I don't know what to think about those weird phasing artifacts about 2/3 in, though.

I hope we will see Darc/Parc again in some form (longer, maybe studio vocals, etc...). Maybe on a non-album single or a RiverRun?

I have to agree with Jan that what we've heard on the radio and the website is what will be on the CD. Too much non-trivial effort was put into retooling it to just be a "preview" of the "proper" version.

It was the title of the MP3 file posted to the Members Archive on underworldlive.com. It was also referred to as "Darc" (quite clearly) by Rick on the Southampton broadcast. In fact, it's even in the tracklist:

So, it's clearly a name change.

they changed the name because the literal translation of Darc in Japanese is offensive or derogatory - hence the name change

no other reason

(as far as i have been told....)

Oh..

Well, that's actually quite logical. Thanks for clearing it up!

That's weird, because I don't even know what the literal meaning of "Darc" is in English.

So.... What's it mean?

hahah i have no idea...

perhaps when its pronounced in japanese, it sounds offensive, rather than reads as offensive...

either way i think in Engish its just a 'poor' spelling of Dark, hence Parc (Park)

this was the reason given to me anyway...

I love the idea of this release, but I can't understand why just a Japan-only release.
