Released Online 7^th December 2005

• Less than a month after releasing ‘lovely broken thing’, Underworld’s first new material in 2 years, Rick and Karl announce the launch of the 2nd package of their Riverrun project entitled ‘Pizza For Eggs’. Available to download from December, globally and exclusively from underworldlive.com , it’s a 25 minute body of music, showing the ethereal side to the Underworld sound.

• Also announcing a series of remixes that will be released over the coming months featuring names like Martinez, Pete Heller, Paul Woolford and Robag Wruhme on reworking duties.

• Anyone looking for a definition of the meaning of psychedelia in the twenty-first century should reach for their ipod now. ‘Pizza For Eggs’ is the 2nd instalment in a series of listening experiences which are neither singles nor albums, but an entirely new way to hear Underworld’s music. Featuring a series of interwoven pieces, it’s an opportunity for the band to venture into whichever direction they like, and release their latest music directly to you, whenever and wherever you want it.

‘Pizza For Eggs’ shows the deeper, more ambient and experimental side to Underworld’s sound - the perfect counterpart to the recent ‘lovely broken thing’ download that featured the track ‘JAL to Tokyo’ which is picking up plaudits by fans and DJ’s alike. Here’s how it works. Taking time out from the corporate waltz which forces bands into a Groundhog Day style loop of recording and touring, Underworld are swerving standard procedure. Underworld are issuing a series of download-only listening experiences that will be an entirely new way to hear their music. The downloads also come with a full photographic accompaniment of 444 pictures taken by the band, access to the archive on underworldlive.com , and full artwork. This can be all yours for just a fiver. Really, what are you waiting for?

"Maybe you've downloaded 'lovely broken thing' already, maybe you haven't, we're not waiting though. Here's the next instalment "Pizza For Eggs". It’s same format as before, a 25 minute mix but this time with a tribal/dubwise feel and Karl at his most 'beatific'. Also keep your ears out for some stunning remixes of tracks from this new collection and the previous one. Paul Woolford’s mix of 'JAL to Tokyo' has been picking up an underground buzz already and has featured in his essential mix from last month, and on Pete Tong’s show last Friday. Over the next few weeks there will be more from Denmark's Martinez, JBO's finest Pete Heller, Robag Wruhme amongst many others. Check the website for up to the minute info on all of this underworldlive.com" - Rick Smith (Underworld)

The band are busier than ever. A quick rummage through Karl and Rick’s diaries reveals all manner of surreal adventures, Currently in Japan playing sell out shows, Karl’s recent graphic novel to an on-going collaboration with a certain sonic futurist, to a soon come film score to Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella’s next flick Breaking And Entering.

Underworld will see you in the speakers.
