I've got a spare Live In Tokyo to sell/trade if anybody has any good New Order/Underworld/St Etienne/ rarities to swap

that 20 minute stretch from "You Do Scribble" to the extended "Back in the Fears" + whatever came after it still absolutely kills. the whole set is amazing - it's almost a let down when it turns into a greatest hits set on Disc 3!!
btw there's a new track today - really gorgeous, though it must be said it does not sound like Underworld at all

interesting tidbit here

Their latest project, Drift, is a self defined “journey without a fixed destination” consisting of 5 EP’s (and possibly an album)
so that's about 2 1/2 hours of material? very nice.

Next Drift track:
David Bowie’s LOW was the first record that made me realise that a singer can stand at the back as well as the front of the band. Rick was ahead of me in his vision for the dubnobasswithmyheadman album and he’s done it again with Brussels.Twenty-four hours before this release it was one of a pile of unfinished pieces ‘not’ scheduled to come out. Simon Taylor filmed his route home that evening as he travelled down the motorway - some of this footage inevitably found its way into the conversation.Working back and forth with sound and image is how we're developing the DRIFT Series, Rick weaving and stitching grooves, melody and words together; drawing parts from disparate songs to create a piece of music that shocked me. Twenty four hours ago, this journey through the edge of night didn't exist. - Karl

FIVE EP'S?! Awesome. Most tracks have been stellar... we're not even half through? Aaaa
― maffew12, Thursday, 14 February 2019 21:42 (five years ago) link
another collab with The Necks. it's 47 minutes long. and it's really good. a lot more going on than the other collab they did on Drift EP 1. the middle kinda reminds me of the Beastie Boys jamming out in the mid-90s

ok i'm listening to drift 1 rn and this is fantastic
i love feeling like i made the right decision being an underworld fan

i'll get back to y'all when i can describe music as anything other than "fantastic"
I keep forgetting until this pops up here every week... fantastic!!

woah this isn't even "out"yet.. where you get the YouTube link?

frogbs, that was next week's track! Seen on borndirty forum eh?This week's song looks like it's about to go up at underworldlive.com. it's on YouTube at https://youtu.be/KeS--IvjrYQ
― maffew12, Thursday, 21 February 2019 18:34 (five years ago) link
yep - looks like it's gone now. I was wondering what happened to "part 5" but I figured I miscounted them.
good track but, I dunno. kinda pales in comparison. funny to see Rick just straight up write, "this one's not finished". something really great could come out of it.
so is Drift Ep 2 gonna be over 80 minutes? that's pretty awesome.
― frogbs, Thursday, 21 February 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link
around 84 it seems. thanks for posting the Necks track... looking forward to hearing it again, in a week?!

Ep 2: ATOM is out now. It's 85 minutes long, which I guess makes this their longest album yet
This time there are some pretty extensive notes about the tunes, if you're interested:
https://underworldlive.com/drift/sleeve-notes/
feels a lot more substantial than Ep 1. if they really release 2-3 more things like this it's gonna be a massive year for them.

that is very nice - reminds me a lot of "Sola Sistim" but its less pensive. almost laughed out loud at the Barry White bit, though

looking forward to that Necks jam!
― maffew12, Friday, 29 March 2019 14:24 (five years ago) link
are these the same Necks that will be on the next swans/gira album?
― StanM, Friday, 29 March 2019 15:07 (five years ago) link
yes, they’ve been going for over thirty years as the same trio The Necks: (Tony Buck, Chris Abrahams, Lloyd Swanton). This transcendental improv combo will play basic tracks to my guitar part on 2 songs, and the songs will be further orchestrated and sung to thereafter. Tony will also play various instruments on other songs.

is the "cowgirl" riff in there? kinda feel like i'm hearing the ghost of it throughout this track
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 4 April 2019 19:43 (five years ago) link
I was gonna say there's a bit of "Rez" in there but that's just their style. I hear it in "Faxed Invitation" too.
― frogbs, Thursday, 4 April 2019 20:02 (five years ago) link
i was actually thinking of "rez"! i make this mistake all of the time bc of the everything, everything version
