Underworld News

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.

Underworld News

Post by usernick »

Okey dokey, this is from an interview from a London freebie music newspaper - I'll attempt to scan it on either later on Friday, or over the weekend.

Anyway, this is what Underworld either have just done or have planned in the future (if you're on the Dirty forums, you'll know some/all of this):

- They have created 180 pieces of new material! :shock:
- Lovely Broken Thing (28 minutes of music/177 photos) - available for a fiver from underworldlive.com - previously discussed here
- Pizza For Eggs (another release from underworldlive.com) - was released on Wednesday (which I finally managed to download after clearing out Firefox's cache, otherwise was left with a 0kb file)!
- Underworldlive.com is soon to release a series of forthcoming, vinyl-only remixes, including Paul Woolford's version of 'JAL to Tokyo' and other by Martinez, Pete Heller, and Robag Wruhme
- Underworld recently released a 3xCD live CD (featuring artwork by Tomato) of the "Electraglide" festival, but that was only available to those who actually went to the festival in Japan! :shock:
- They are currently composing a soundtrack to a film called "Breaking And Entering", which is in post-production and slated for release in Spring (possibly March) 2006. The film is directed by Anthony Minghella (featuring Juliet Binoche and Jude Law), and is based in and around Kings Cross. They've been working in Abbey Road for the score with electronics and traditional instruments and bringing in other musicians to read the score.
- They'll think about playing live in London after the soundtrack is out, which will be at least late-Spring/early Summer

WOW! :shock:

I went :D

I won't tell you what I though of Underworld because this is an Underworld appreciation thread, but Autechre were great!
Mashed Potatoes? Why do hate mashed potatoes? (It's a hoax, I don't really hate them)

Did you apply for the CD? If you did (and still didn't like it), you'd make a fortune on ebay! :P

I've got the Electraglide Osaka gig and it was great. Pity it wasnt a three hour set like the Benelux gigs or the Tokyo gig but they played some great stuff. Old stuff reworked, and new stuff that seemed to push all the right buttons.

I love the new EPs, LovelyBrokenThing/Pizza For Eggs/JAL to Tokyo EP. Underworld have released about 75mins of new music in the last 3 weeks :)

get thee to http://www.underworldlive.com now and splash out on the EPs. Most excellent.

didn't know about the cd (everything's in Japanese over here!) but would have loved to make a fortune on ebay. They played for 2 hours in Osaka. Yawn.
