What then for those of us who feel that the RiverRuns feel unfinished and snipped? I feel OWB finished off a good deal of what RR has started and I love it.

Maybe then with all this moaning about remixes then can we have Underworld remixing other bands again...
Now that U2 mofo mix........

as for UW remixing other artists, I never cared for them either. what I love are the UW remixes and b-sides of their own work. I find that most other djs, producers, what-have-you never put close to the amount of thought or detail that UW puts into their own tracks. why would I want to listen to a UW track that has been simplified and 'dancified' with generic sounds?

I whole-heartedly agree. When UW mix their own tracks...a entirely new song is born...a la Dark Train, Dirty Guitar, and half the Pearl's Girl EP

enjoy the music,if you don't, listen to something else.i'm sure that rick and karl enjoy what they are doing and thats why they do it, they're not looking to remake "rez" or compete with ed banger so why expect them to? if they're musical journey isn't going down the path you like then don't follow and just remember the "goodtimes".surely thats better than getting bitter and twisted about it and turning here into a place of negitivity and disappointment.

this is all crap, if i may say so.
if you're headed somewhere else, thats all fine and dandy, but some disappointment should be expected and i dont think it should be up to the fans to try to shut that down and tell old fans to "just move on." just as there's the din of approval from new or continuing fans, there should be those who see problems without crassly being labeled as wet blankets on some mindless back-patting party. i'll sit back and remember how things were and give up on on their future projects when i think underworld are no longer capable of making spectacular albums again, and thats quite awhile off. the thing about taking a band you really believe in to task (as much as any fan out of millions can) is that you know (or at least feel strongly) that they have it in them to do much better than what you're hearing, and that you just hope that they keep pushing themselves as hard as they seem to be to up the bar next time.
