QUESTIONS ASKED TO KARL HYDE ARE AS FOLLOWS:

• AND HOW WOULD YOU BEST SUM UP UNDERWORLD AT THE MOMENT?
• THE ALBUM SOUNDS INCREDIBLE POSITIVE, DOES THAT ACCURATELY REFLECT WHERE YOU TWO ARE COMING FROM AT THE MOMENT?
• THE ALBUMS STILL QUITE HAVING IT, ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT PEOPLE ARE SURPRISE ABOUT THAT? AND DID YOU MEAN FOR IT TO STILL MAKE SENSE IN A KIND OD SWEATY NIGHTCLUB?
• DO YOU STILL FEEL CONNECTED WITH THAT WORLD?
• OK, THERE'S KINDA A REALLY CHILD LIKE FEEL TO THE ALBUM ' A HUNDRED DAYS OFF' SOUNDS LIKE THE KINDA THING A SIX YEAR OLD MIGHT SAY.
• HAS UNDERWORLD GOT A FIXATION WITH EXTREME YOUTH BECAUSE YOUR LAST STUDIO ALBUM WAS CALLED SECOND TOUGHEST IN THE INFANTS?
• THE COVER IMAGE IS LIKE THE SCREAM MADE FROM A KID'S PARTY BALLOON, WOULD YOU AGREE?
• KINDA MOVING ONTO MUSIC THERE, YOU KNOW THERE'S ALL KINDS OF SOUND ON THE ALBUM, THE SORTS OF BEATS AND HARMONICS THAT YOU'D EXPECT, BUT IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE YOUR DRAWING FROM A KIND OF, A WIDER MUSICAL PALATE THAN YOU HAVE IN THE PAST. IS THAT THE CASE?
• WHAT KIND OF THINGS WERE YOU GOING OUT AND BUYING? WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
• I MEAN THAT, THOSE KINDS OF INFLUENCES COME ACROSS REALLY STRONGLY ON DINOSAUR ADVENTURE, WHICH I BELIEVE IS TO BE TEH NEXT SINGLE, ERM, YOU KNOW TELL ME ABOUT THE TRACK?
• AND THEN SORT OF MOVING ON TO OTHER TRACKS THE SAMPLES ON 'TWO MONTHS OFF' AND 'LITTLE SPEAKER' IS FROM JUANITA, THE WOMAN IMMORTALISED IN 'JUNAITA'. WHO IS SHE AND HOW DID SHE GO FROM INSPIRTAION TO VOCALIST?
• KIND OF APPRECIATE THAT YOUR LYRICS AREN'T NECCESSARILY ABOUT THINGS IN THE SAME WAY THAT SOMETHING LIKE RADIOHEAD LYRICS ARE ABOUT THINGS, ERM, BUT WHAT KIND OF WHAT KIND OF Y'KNOW THEMES OR KIND OF FEELINGS WOULD YOU PARTICULARLY WANT TO GET ACROSS WITH THESE LYRICS?
• SP, IF, ER 'DUBNOSBASS' WAS A FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING RECORD AND 'BEAUCOUP FISH' AND ' SECOND TOUGHEST' WERE KIND OF LIKE EARLY EVENING NIGHT TIME RECORDS, IS THIS KIND OF LIKE A MID-DAY RECORD, IS THIS A MORNING RECORD?
• WHAT DID YOU REALLY, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE MUSICALLY WHEN YOU SET OUT WITH IT?
• HOW IS THE DYNAMIC DIFFERENT AS A TWO PIECE RATHER THAN A TRIO?
• DO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH DARREN?
• AND SO HOW, HOW HAVE OU FOUND THE KIND OF ERM PROCESS OF EMERGING FROM YOUR SORT OF STUDIO COCOON INTO THE SORT OF BRIGHT LIGHTS BEING IN STAGE IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS PEOPLE?
• I MEAN YOU'VE JUST COME BACK FROM A JAPANESE TOUR, WHAT WAS KINDOF, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE,WHAT KIND OF RECEPTION DID YOU GET?
• WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS KIND OF YOUR BEST MOMENT ON THAT TOUR?
• WHAT, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM YOUR UK SHOWS?
• ARE YOU STILL KIND OF PLAYING EVERYTHING LIVE ON, LIVE ON STAGE?
• FUNNILY YOU KNOW BECAUSE OF YOUR CAREERS SPANNED SORT OF THREE DIFFERENT KIND OF WELL, SPANNED A LOND PERIOD OF TIME, YOU KNOW YOU COULD ALMOST SAY THAT DANCE MUSIC'S BEEN A PHASE IN UNDERWORLD'S CAREER RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY ROUND. WHAT'S HAPPENING NEXT? WHAT ARE YOUR, WHAT'S COMING UP IN UNDERWORLD?
