didja get OWB with the t-shirt yet?

[grady]

edit:

nevermind, it just showed up.

[bryantm3]

the dvd video is a waste of time, besides the neat pictures from tokyo and abbey road, and the tomato pictures. the videos don't really add anything to the songs at all more than take stuff away... tomato is getting repetitive. 'rez' is interesting because of the live performance. the video looks like background.

yeah, it would've been cooler to have a hi-res 5.1 SACD version of OWB. but that's the audiophile in me talking.

Hell no I didn't get that Pink Barney mess.

i thought the cockerel video was a great idea, but yeah, aside from that, pretty much a wasted opportunity.
i know they're not ones to stun you with flashy meaninglessness but there's not much in there to engage at all

even the slideshows had this awfully awkward forward/back interface that just screwed up the image and ruined any possibility for good screenshots to print or have as desktop backgrounds

and the rez visuals... well, i'm sure they had more engaging stuff up their sleeve honestly.

pretty disappointed in the dvd.

[the real stuff]

you can choose to view the slideshows with music in the background, and no ugly arrows in the way of the pictures. you've gotta nudge the DVD cursor to the right of the title so that "SLIDESHOW" is selected.

oh, thought that was the description...

Youre really not a happy bunny are you? First dissing Mamgu and now the DVD. let's just hope it all grows on you shall we? The album has only been out 2 days.

That is Globe on there. Listen to the Abbey Road slideshow. Then go listen to the last 1.5 minutes of "Holding the Moth". See?

SACD...bzzzt...wrong format, try again...try dvd-audio..

anyways, had a weird issue, i couldn't play the dvd through my
dvd player, i tried rca cables, and hdmi, i just heard noise, and
the video stuttered....when i played it on my computer it was fine..

anyways, i knew what was going to be on the DVD, so i wasn't
expecting a whole lot, but i was pleased with what was on there.

DVD-1 Crocodile. Video. (3:57)
- cool video, and nice to have a high quality version



DVD-2 Tokyo Makuhari. Slide Show. (1:32)
- short, but nice


DVD-3 Metal Friend. Video. (1:37)
-strange video of people sticking their tongues out
with pieces of paper and words on them..i really
like the music, wish it was longer

DVD-4 Abbey Road. Slide Show. (1:31)
-more cool photos, nice music

DVD-5 Good Morning Cockerel. Video. (2:31)
-bw video of people walking around (shots of
just feet), and its upside down



DVD-6 Rez {Live}. Video. (9:28)
- colored lines moving, oh no its 'rez' again.
would have been nice to have a different song


DVD-7 ArtJam. Slide Show. (1:46)
- probably my favorite one, cool music,
and neat pictures..

later
-1

WHAT? IT`S BEEN 2 WEEKS!!!

Oh...I forgot...I`m in Japan!

BTW - I was on the train (Toyoku Line) today, and every car had an Underworld: OWB advertisement sticker on one door window. I was really excited at first, but then I started thinking about it. I was like "is this getting a bit pop-starish"? I know the Japanese advertising companies have a big influence in this, but it just seemed...erm...a little strange!

I know Rick and Karl still stick to their guns and put out the kind of art they want to put out, but contrary to what they have said in past interviews about their desire for huge/popular success, they ARE getting big!!!

This isn`t so much a complaint, but rather an observation into how things can change over time.
