Underworld on "Songs for Tibet"

[BeautifulBurnout]

Anyhoo...

Am I right in thinking that it is someone in UW's management (Mike G maybe?) who has a strong connection with Buddhism, cos I asked the question during one of the radio shows and I seem to remember Karl saying it was someone in The Management. There used to be a link to a Tibetan Buddhist website on the old UW page.

'fuckface for tibet'

has a cracking ring to it!

Not sure about anyone's specific connection to Buddhism, but the band has supported and promoted the Meridian Trust for a long time. There's a link to it on their website:

As mentioned in the press releases for this Songs for Tibet album, "The Art of Peace Foundation also works with their UK partner, Meridian Trust, to preserve Tibetan cultural traditions," so perhaps that's how Underworld came to be involved in this project.

Looks like it's going to be "To Heal" with Rick's dad! Good choice!

Makes sense, Rick hinted it would be coming out in the last broadcast

Today, the Jacobson Howard Gallery in NYC and Underworld offered to host our press conference and release party in August! It will take place in tandem with Underworld’s amazing ‘Beautiful Burnout’ art exhibit. An incredible and beautiful gesture by all.

if this is the best they could get to support Tibet, Tibet is screwed.

yeah, there are a few bands on there that summon the thought: "wow, they're still alive?"
