underworldlive amsterdam show

Wow! This is really an unexpected gift as both the other concerts were released over a period of some months... Kind of spoiling the excitement in waiting for another track to pop up.
btw, who/what band was the reason that the vibe police almost busted them?

[BeautifulBurnout]

The "vibe police" comment was, I believe, referring the fact that they were told they couldn't play any longer after the Jumbo encore, even though we were all gagging for Moaner.

:O opening track! oh how i've longed to hear this track without static!

what do you want for free? anyway, theyve always been 128kbps. Only now they are 48kHz which is how they come out of Rick's Macintosh.

that i don't know. but i can confirm that it cuts off in the middle.

Also, Dub Shepherd is missing from between Pearl's Girl and NUXX

It was 11pm and they weren't allowed to play any more. Those are the Heineken Music Hall rules.

is this perfection... is it time for us to meet?

WHAT IS THE REAL NAME OF THIS SONG... BY FAR MY FAV UW SONG OF ALL TIME (because it includes all the parts of UW, that I LUUUUUUV

[patrick]

wow wow! this song is great... i haven't heard a new uw song since you do scribble and always loved a film... (plus the river runs). this is right up there with YDS and ALAF... teh singing is quite good!

also: 128 kpbs is totally acceptable for this... it "could" just use some boosting to beef it up a bit...

thanks so much!

[potatobroth]

ive had the first three tracks on repeat pretty much all morning (with meeting interuptions) and loving it.

[BrotherLovesDub]

Darc is amazing. reminds me of both Dubno and STITI style tracks but with that mature, laid back AHDO feel. keep it coming.

No, in my opinion the mastering is really, really excellent! No clipping/distortion and full dynamic range... feel the punch of the drums when you increase the volume... it's great!

I hope UW will master their upcoming releases on CD similarly. Both BF and AHDO and their singles already where very loud but 1992-2002 and Born Slippy 2003 were even worse in this aspect...

Here is a post from me that shows what i mean...

A video on YouTube about the loudness war:


I find it really depressing when great music is being affected (or sometimes completely destroyed!) by any kind of overly agressive mastering.

I'm happy that this isn't the case here (listening to You Do Scribble over and over again... ).
