I hate the fact they only play Osaka summer sonic. So hard to get to and I don’t like festivals

They have never released a summer album before. Though the singles we have gotten so far do feel like summer club bangers. March feels a little too soon and October feels so far away. Would like to see Underworld surprise us with a spring/summer release.

If they announce the album march 8 with new single, then it should be a late may, early june album.

It's so hard to predict these days, with some albums coming out after many months of promo and others appearing out of the blue. My guess would be late spring as well, though. Sounds odd, but one thing I'm actually really looking forward to is the promo around it, discussing the process behind going back to a traditional album campaign after bigging up how Drift Series 1 was good because it freed them from that structure. Curious to see if it'll get mentioned much.

It would be surreal if they just released something as merch on the new shows.

I don't know about you guys but as far as more potential new tunes are concerned I'll be hawk-eyed on Setlist fm come Thursday morning. still crossing my fingers for a re-emergence of 'Strawberry Hotel', travesty it was only played twice

So, what's our count up to now for new songs, 5-7 depending on the Kettama ones?

1. And the Colour Red
2. Denver Luna
3. Gene Pool
4. Strawberry Hotel
5. Techno Shinkansen

6. G-Town Euphoria
7. Fen Violet

That's most of the way on some Underworld albums or half-way on others - hard to tell. In the era of Drift, could just be an EP.

Seems odd it's been almost a year since Red and most of the other new songs premiering live with no album news. Here's hoping the month and a half gap in touring from mid-April to late May is for album promo and it dropping soon after...

And the Colour Red doesn't feel like an album track to me. The rest I can easily see.

[Dino3D]

Even if Red will be on the album, I can't imagine it on an album. It's a boring, pointless filler track that goes nowhere. It could be the most boring 5 minutes of an album.

And the Colour Red sounds like part of a bigger something to me. A bit like another silent way/drift poem/better than diamonds
