& Strumpet instead of Bird 1. Bird 1 is good, but it's not as good as Strumpet live was.

Aren't # of #1's usually indicated? You got hacked, Will!It's fantastic but it's still a live album... I couldn't put it ahead of much of any original material.from here it gets really interesting!

Yes, I've noticed that they talked about it like that - though they'd been working on lots of projects that came out of the Underworld office, and played live still*, this was the first time they'd either made music together or been good friends in six years. And the floodgates opened!
* though in Karl's new preferred festival-format shows

Liner notes from Beaucoup Fish sampler Trevor Morais: All the hitting things done in a live, loose and sexy way not dissimilar to drumming but better.

finally some weird controps
― maffew12, Thursday, 4 June 2020 23:49 (four years ago) link
I had to google the quote to figure out how it was meant to back up your point. So that's Trevor's credit on the album. I found an old article saying he played with Underworld live and in studio. News to me. Anyway not sure I'm following here. They're great at all of it

I wasn't really sure what to count as an album so I only ranked the main ones. Maybe regret that now but I think all their studio albums are basically excellent so not much point splitting hairs.

that's tough, I think Bird 1 is one of those tracks where the outside remix really works
