Another article about Rick being ill. The image intrigues me, though. Was the whole thing done live, like their gigs, or is that just old photography?

I really really enjoyed the transformation of the opening ceremonies. the montage was a bit on the cheesy side, but thats okay. the music was wonderful and watching the stage transform was very impressive.

so glad Rick/UW were a huge part of this.

also, underworld/pricey/high contrast need to release full versions of the remixes. fantastic tracks cannot be wasted!

Can someone give a detailed explanation of contents included on the digital booklet (with iTunes purchase).

I am debating which version to buy, iTunes or Amazon (I can't wait for the CD release!).

[ThingInABook]

the booklet that comes with the itunes release is a PDF with liner notes by danny boyle, rick and tracklists+thankyous from the team.

Is it worth it?

[testudo]

Went with iTunes.

Weirdest read in the booklet:
Underworld are: Kris Burton, Malcolm Corbett, Steven Hall, Karl Hyde, Geoff Jukes, Anis Marks,
Darren Price, Danielle Short, Rick Smith, Robin Turner.

Should we expect Steve Hall on stage dancing during an UW set now? or playing a tambourine?

I imagine the booklet will also be in the CD release.

And I Will Kiss is one of the best long form Underworld songs in years. So epic.

Discuss.
