So, the new underworld album

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

i didn't particularly like moaner when i first heard the album version on the radio, but hearing live recordings made me notice how banging it is.... it was excellent on sunday too, very intense.

i watched the first half of tonight's set, before wandering off to watch tv - but i'm sure i'll find recordings later. any surprises?

Decided to go on Thursday, courtesy of a spare ticket from Sid - top night, and they played Moaner as well!

Doesn't Loopz look a bit like Karl? :P

It is with great regret that we have had to postpone tonights' performance at Londons' Roundhouse due to severe illness within the band.

More details will follow as soon as possible, and in the meantime we appreciate your understanding and patience.

First off, Moaner is by far the most insane and intense track I've ever heard. Excellence.

As for their new album...I found it to be pretty lackluster, esp the second half. 2 Months off showed that Underworld would still be great even with Emerson gone and their internet EPs where fabulous (JAL To Tokyo!), some of it being better than some of the best of the new albums material.
