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

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

i submitted my ballot so i'm watching the 2017 rijksmuseum show, as a treat

i remember when i caught this stream about halfway through on my facebook feed and it rocked my entire day

i keep forgetting i have a dvd copy of everything everything, that's next

lmao this show is so fucking brilliant

i can't belive they do "dark train" and "dark & long" that's fuckin radical

ok I think I just figured out what my #1 is and it's definitely not what I expected it would be

what is it!

I'm gonna be down to the wire. doing stuff all day that wasn't this omg

voted!

Also, just researching the name of a Freur b-side which is my #76 brought me to the single's sole review on RYM, this is from one of their top reviewers.

Freur were a band I was convinced were going to be huge and, as such, I decided every single would eventually be worth owning. Well I was wrong. They never really forged their own identity. They were definitely different but different for the sake of it.... I suppose I should have realised then that if they were having to repeat the use of old material as fillers they were destined for failure.

I really want to tell him

lol! no Underworld reviews on his profile?

He's reviewed 4580 releases and I am not going to scroll through however many pages

https://rateyourmusic.com/~Grampus

there's a search bar on the profiles. he's rated the first 2 mk2 albums (3.5 stars each). wonder if he made the connection

man "low burn" live is such a fuckin trip

24 HOURS WITH THE KING OF SNAKE

lol i'll never forgive this stream for cutting out during king of snake

C'mon, snake

The dirties patched up various repaired versions of the show from Snake reposts and partial stereo broadcasts, but I’ve never had enough computer to bother faffing with private trackers

(apparently the OG stream missed a bit of Snake & most of Jumbo)

man

everything everything

what a total experience

drift: 3 > 2 > 4 > 1 > 5

5 has so many jams what

the only thing i really rate on 5 is "doscientos". "tree and two chairs" and "toluca stars" are like almost there but not quite?

I think mine is 3 > 5 > 2 > 1 > 4, but outside of 3 being the best I'm pretty flexible on the rest

4 is only at the bottom because I don't like "Altitude Dub" much. though it's grown on me

btw I think I'm done with my ballot. two of my top three are from the last 5 years

would be nuts to tell my 2003 self that

thinking of the Drifts in terms of what's on which CD in the box set is wild to me, but then I haven't figured out how I'm organising them either

i'm going by boxset CDs + considering the necks collabs part of where they were originally

I think I’m leaning towards “the final version of all the weekly tracks except the original STAR and adding the box set version of Brilliant” + “all the Necks tracks in full length versions” + “all the new bangers from the box set” + “all the new chill ambient groovers from the box set” as four bundles

but then...

doesn't matter does it?.... for this here poll at least.

Brilliant is brilliant. Has to be on my list.

Only just discovered that there's a deluxe edition of Edgeland and the bonus tracks are all excellent.

Yeah a lot of them are better than the actual album tracks. Cascading Light and Dancing on the Graves of le cabloosiers dreams

Slummin it for the Weekend 🥺

My sister got me Doot-Doot a while back and I'd been neglecting it due to unfavorable memories of Underneath the Radar, but turns out I like it very much.

Can I vote for Drift if I've only heard the (still sufficiently awesome) sampler edition?

As an album, sure. As a listener, it’s only yourself you’re depriving.

Fairly happy with my albums poll but have 99 tracks on my shortlist to cut down to 77 and then somehow put them in order.

Have them all in a spreadsheet and quickly went through giving them approximate placings (Top 5, 10, 20, 30 etc) and currently have 37 tracks in my top 20.

Sent in a ballot. Limited myself to 50 tracks

As a listener, it’s only yourself you’re depriving.

I know! I guess I imagined I would buy it at some point. Have now caved and logged in to spotify for the first time since the Bjork poll, apparently. Seems worth it so far :)

beware the cut-down version of Appleshine Continuum on the box set / album

ok... how are people handling Riverrun when it comes to tracks? If I'm gonna think of them as 3 long tracks, they'll have to go real high... but if I split them up, there's not going to be much of them on there. Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love is my #1 track... so you see the bind I'm in.

WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT MANCHESTER STREET POEM

i split them up, they're pretty discrete compositions
