ah. was confused about that one. never heard many of those early UW remixes, maybe I should seek 'em out.

I still think "Dirty Epic" will be #1 here, but I'm getting the feeling that everyone's just going to vote for their second favorite? "Dirty Epic" is just so massive and all-encompassing, it has so many layers and such a wealth of great moments, I find it hard to believe that it began life as just a remix; to me it's one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Like the ultimate Pet Shop Boys tune that the PSBs couldn't write themselves.

I actually prefer both the "Dirty" and "Dirty Guitar" versions to the album mix. (Sorry, not ducking.)

I'm waiting for my 5CD to arrive, it's starting to feel like it's stuck or lost somewhere. Got a download code but that's only for the album itself.

I prefer "Thing In A Book" to anything else they've made but it's not on this album either.

Is it just me or are there 3 different versions of Dark Train? 9'52" / 10'24" / 10'53"

this 5-disc remaster is so good; never realized what a jam "Dogman Go Woof" is

I finally received it this week - when the guy at the post office returned with it I thought "you idiot, you ordered the vinyl" to myself - hadn't looked at the pictures of the package in detail before :-)

But yeah, it's very good indeed, I hope they do 5-disc versions of the next two albums too.

Yeah, that was like when my Kraftwerk box arrived, was totally expecting a five-inch square thing

I would probably order a 5-disc version of all of their albums. As I've mentioned a dozen times they have sooo much good stuff squared away.

This 3rd disc, with "Thing in a Book" and "Most 'Ospitable" is so ace. TiaB would probably be a top 5 for me track if we did a poll right now. Maybe even like, #1.

Put on the Steppin Razor mix of Song of Life yesterday while going through Underworld remixes on vinyl and holy cow, what an awesome remix. That and Schmoo remix sounded incredible.

one year passes...

'Dirty Epic' and 'Cowgirl' back to back = the peak of this album, for me. Just fucking sublime. Although I don't understand why folks are so down on 'M.E.' ... I love that one!

M.E is ace. One of my favourite tracks of theirs.

groovypanda, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link

"Surfboy" is underrated IMO

DJP, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 20:16 (seven years ago) link

As is 'Tongue', which is probably their best track in that mould.
