Mega Mega Vote Thing - UNDERWORLD (Smith/Hyde) in ILM Artist Poll #102 - Campaigning, Discussion, Equivocating until 22nd May

also "custard speedtalk" is def in my top ten. only took karl 25 years to write some lyrics for "rez"!!! j/k

I think 15 Drift tracks might make my top 77, including "Molehill" which last I checked everyone hated

"molehill" is beautiful and also maybe their most out-of-character track ever

amazing, i have to vote for "toluca stars" too

like, that may be their most simultaneously tense and gorgeous track

the synths are kinda like stars winking through all the space in the track

kinda sad that oblivion with bells ends with Loads Of Birds but then Barknig starts with only one bird... wonder what happened to all of the other birds :(

lmao

loads of birds was in Japan though. its quite remarkable one made it over to East London, really

hmm you raise a valid point. i actually worry about this bird now, that is a pretty jacked migration pattern. and cell phone towers started getting really data-heavy around that time too. it was for sure that

did anyone manage to nab those frankenstein performances? they've since been turned to private :/

I nabbed the first one. Suggestions on where to share... or advisories that I shouldn't do such a thing here? Lemme know

I used Mediafire for my out-of-print uploads ITT because the links expire after two weeks. The NT are unlikely to be selling tickets to cinema screenings of Frankenstein in that timeframe, I'd reckon.

will give it a go soon. if you enjoy donate to your local frankenstein

the irony of using a site with fire in its name dang

Missing my ipod this week tbh, RIP.

Playing things on desktop has revealed that itunes has been helpfully updated at some point to just not bother playing the last two minutes of long songs, which is really really helpful and fun when you're trying to listen to different versions of long songs to figure out which ones you like best. As well as just a practical feature that makes any sense at all under any circumstances!

hadn't heard (of) Loads of Birds until five minutes ago, this is good stuff

Cannot understand why anyone uses itunes tbh

i've made such a mess of files that i made a mouse shortcut to a very nice program called ...

c:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe

got a kick out of that

(used to have an ipod until it died a few months ago. don't keep music in itunes at all, but all my non-album Underworld is extensively organised by ID3 tags, so tweaking those tags and navigating from compilation to compilation during this fortnight has seen me dump that stuff into the program I otherwise use to transfer podcasts & DJ mixes onto a portable device for one-time listening.)

Just remembered "8 Ball" and now my top 10 has 40 different tracks on it

8 ball was my no. 1 for quite a while

seriously should have done Drift as a third ballot poll

Yes, I am trying to listen to it, there is a lot of music.

the ballad of Dr Victor Sickboy https://www.transfernow.net/QnNnzu052020

drift ranked:

5 > 3 > 4 = 2 > 1

I might have enough time to listen through Drift Series 1 but I've also listened to "Thing in a Book" four times so far and don't plan to stop

2 3 4 5 1

"soniamode (aditya game version)" is so goofy lol "maker spaces!"

Let me tell you about 2019. So much optimism

i understand the sentiment but it was a really goofy expression of it even then

today's drift discovery is "do breakers trip" which is really sublime

"soniamode (aditya game version)" is so goofy lol "maker spaces!"

"procuring organic food!"

iirc I think they didn't actually write those lyrics, I think Karl asked some writer to do it because of some article he liked about socialism

which is not to say Karl couldn't write some goofy lyrics on his own but they're not quite like that

yeah those parts were written by adtiya chakrabortty (hence the 'aditya' in the title)

Ahhhh awesome

community land trusts! housing first!

"soniamode" rules

currently blown away at the 5 song stretch that is Soniamode through Custard Speedtalk.

Brilliant Yes That Would Be = brilliant, yes it is

duuuuuune

A man puts his hand behind his head, leans back, brooding
A woman remembers the name, face, taste and all the details
It's been a long time

Tree and Two Chairs is a jam

"hundred weight hammer" is some blur think tank shit and i love it

Tree and Two Chairs is a jam

Oh My God This Very High Level Music Quality Is The Matrix Of Electronic Music From Our Planet

weird: i've gotten through the entire catalog and i have exactly 77 tracks. submitting my ballot in a few mins

I dunno, better relisten to make sure you got it right

one thing i've noticed during this: almost every underworld song title is fuckin weird
