a message from Rick and Karl of Underworld taken from dirty.org

quote:

thanks for your patience, we know it's been annoying, we're even scared to say it but.................we're ready! Tomorrow/today (depending on where you are) will see the release of the first new underworld material for................well, ages.......and here's the how, why and where. we will be releasing music as a series of downloads exclusively from underworldlive.com and wanted you to be the first to know. the downloads will consist of 5/6 different pieces interwoven, mixed, blended, whatever you want to call it into a single piece 25/30 minutes in length. the releases will sometimes follow a rough musical theme (there's a dub influenced one already in the can) sometimes they won't - but the idea is to give us the chance to stretch out into areas we have only been able to touch on with traditional album releases, and give you the listener an underworld experience over the time it takes to listen to one side of an old vinyl album. after years of recording, promoting, touring and falling out we think it's time for us to step off the treadmill and give our time to a number of projects and ideas some of which have been kicking around for years, firstly the score to anthony minghella's new film, followed swiftly with some remixes/collaborations with some of our favourite underground dance producers/djs..............and there will be more, much, much more. another aim of changing things is to give us the chance to respond to what's happening musically out there in the world and put an underworld spin on things more than once every three years - like the way things happened in the days of white-labels, selling records from vans and junior boys own....we hope you'll be able to hear this in the music. it will also help us refresh the live set with more new songs in a way we haven't been able to in the past, something we've wanted to do for a long time now. none of this spells the end of traditional albums, remixes, tours, gigs it's just a way of getting music to you without the help of a multinational every time we feel inspired. expect too see underworld in the charts, on the radio, in the press and in your town again but in the meantime fill you're boots at underworldlive.com. rick and karl 9th november 2005
