I am teh jealous, Roxy. :-/ But happy for you too!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 31 March 2008 04:34 (eighteen years ago)

i really hope they're opening for radiohead, as rumored.
also on the rumor list: liars (yay!) grizzly bear (boo)

i'm getting Liars on the Radiohead tour, Houston TX show. i wish i was getting Underworld - enjoy the fuck out of both bands, but i've seen Liars i think 4 times (going back to 2001 or so), and Underworld zero.

stephen, Monday, 31 March 2008 05:54 (eighteen years ago)

did you get your tix from waste or ticketmaster?
i plan on getting mine (philly) through waste, but i've heard they usually go on sale at like 3:00 am, and sell out in 15 minutes. ticketmaster, usually less than a minute.

Creeztophair, Monday, 31 March 2008 06:04 (eighteen years ago)

oh man, glad to hear the show was awesome roxy! <3

No 'Rez' no cred. (kidding)

SeekAltRoute, Monday, 31 March 2008 07:28 (eighteen years ago)

I'd love to see them open for Radiohead (not actually see the show [though I would], but see that happen for them).

three months pass...

Can someone explain to me what, exactly, Darren Emerson was doing in Underworld, with examples provided from the recorded music? I can one sound in "River of Bass" that seems to be emanating from a DJ and aside from that I figure him for dead weight. If I'm out of it, enlighten me quick.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 14:48 (seventeen years ago)

can HEAR one sound

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 14:48 (seventeen years ago)

You can haz one sound?

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 14:50 (seventeen years ago)

He did what Darren Price is doing now.

StanM, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 14:53 (seventeen years ago)

Vibes, like Bez.

Neil S, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 14:57 (seventeen years ago)

He did what Darren Price is doing now.

Then why is he credited on albums?

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 15:14 (seventeen years ago)

He helped write the tunes.

chap, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

I wondered what Darren Price was up to! Under The Flightpath is still a fantastic album.

I DIED, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 15:30 (seventeen years ago)

He helped write the tunes.

Yes, this is actually incredibly ambiguous.

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 15:41 (seventeen years ago)

Listen to some of Emerson's own remixes and maybe you can pick up characteristics shared between those and Emerson-era Underworld. I think he got the sole credit for the remix of Massive Attack's 'Risingson' - maybe less intricate and progressive than what Smith might do, more simplistic and monotonous but also maybe more 'groovy'/dancefloor-focussed as a result.

blueski, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 16:19 (seventeen years ago)

He stopped them being shit like they became when he left

I am using your worlds, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 16:21 (seventeen years ago)

Like he actually knew about dance music. The new "Ring Road" single is so disapointing - can only be listened to in remix form.

I am using your worlds, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 16:22 (seventeen years ago)

^rong road more like

Steve, your suggestion is a good one. Any recommendations for Emerson stuff to download?

roxymuzak, Wednesday, 9 July 2008 18:21 (seventeen years ago)

one year passes...

I am home sick today and listening to Beaucoup Fish for probably the third time since it came out thanks to this thread. I am enjoying it!

Was a fan of Second Toughest for years and years in the late 90s. Used to listen to it every night going to sleep for quite some time. I pretty much have the album memorized to this day.

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:10 (sixteen years ago)

omg

cutty, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:17 (sixteen years ago)

Scribble is a collaboration with (drum'n'bass artist) High Contrast and sounds like it. Good stuff.

Paul in Santa Cruz, Saturday, 15 May 2010 00:28 (sixteen years ago)

Leo Had a Good Day Today

brotherlovesdub, Saturday, 15 May 2010 01:17 (sixteen years ago)

Great song, but the video kinda distracts from its awesomeness.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Saturday, 15 May 2010 01:43 (sixteen years ago)

Second thought: vocals too high in the mix.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Saturday, 15 May 2010 01:45 (sixteen years ago)

you are wrong on both accounts

cutty, Saturday, 15 May 2010 04:08 (sixteen years ago)

NO U

Scribble sounds pretty good! I hope the full length version is similar to the second half of this live track it seems to be based on:

Michael F Gill, Saturday, 15 May 2010 05:49 (sixteen years ago)

One of the best videos I have seen. Seriously, no joke

The song's not bad either. Maybe even better

Fer Jessie the Drunk Dutch Mountain Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Saturday, 15 May 2010 18:10 (sixteen years ago)

super excited

Gifted Unlimited Display Names Universal (deej), Saturday, 15 May 2010 18:18 (sixteen years ago)

this is awesome

Gifted Unlimited Display Names Universal (deej), Saturday, 15 May 2010 18:25 (sixteen years ago)

you are wrong on both accounts

― cutty, Friday, May 14, 2010 11:08 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark

cutty is correct on both counts

Gifted Unlimited Display Names Universal (deej), Saturday, 15 May 2010 18:44 (sixteen years ago)

okay i really like this but still feel like i might be missing something when you're calling it the "best video ever"

sonderangerbot, Saturday, 15 May 2010 19:07 (sixteen years ago)

You're not high enough. :-)

StanM, Saturday, 15 May 2010 19:10 (sixteen years ago)

Gifted Unlimited Display Names Universal (deej), Saturday, 15 May 2010 19:11 (sixteen years ago)

Addictive little number, ain't it?
