Hyde's lyrics are starting to annoy me more here and there these days, particularly on Luetin tho that is a fantastic track (a classic case of a track you are just casually listening to, a few minutes pass and then you just hit a moment and realise where you are who you are what's going on etc.) ― blueski, Friday, May 21, 2004 2:09 AM The trick to Luetin for me is the strings. I often don't notice them come in, but I do, it's lovely. I can't even make out most of the lyrics on it though. ― Vinnie, Friday, May 21, 2004 2:20 AM he says 'cokey cola' ― blueski, Friday, May 21, 2004 2:21 AM

Dan, I've just relistened to Luetin based on this post, and you're otm that it's great, but I don't think it's as satisfying for some reason. ― roxymuzak, Thursday, October 20, 2005 1:34 AM Oh...but...I forgot this part where the synths come in. ― roxymuzak, Thursday, October 20, 2005 1:34 AM

great tune, glad to see it this high. but yeah Karl's lyrics on this one are kinda...uh...best not to pay too much attention
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 June 2020 20:55 (three years ago) link
I never intentionally pay attention to Karl's lyrics, so it's always a nice surprise when a phrase catches on and sticks in my head, or I can associate a song with some words.
"The rhythm of keys swinging in your hand, the rhythm of light coming out of your fingers" - the latter part sat in the song as a general vibe of positivity, or a rave visual of lasers and splayed hands, for years before I suddenly locked it with the first half and realised they could be paired. Maybe Karl had spotted an extremely menial, quotidian image at a moment where the sun hit, and sparked a tiny hidden poem out of it.

Can't recall if it's "spoonman" or "surfboy" that i'm thinking of (think it's the latter), but it's the one where they go all stuttering miami electro bass and have the rising pitches sorta trailing off throughout the song, until it builds up and starts going "doo doo doo doo. doo doo doo doo" with this great little sound. that's always been a favorite. ― rentboy, Thursday, May 18, 2006 10:00 PM
"Surfboy" is underrated IMO ― DJP, Thursday, June 2, 2016 6:16 AM

"Surfboy" is always a wonderful surprise when I listen to dubnobass. I can remember the beginning, but I forget the crazy shifts it goes through. Because of this poll, maybe I'll finally remember what a brilliant track it is

yeah, I wonder if Rick had health issues, or if - after effectively re-programming the album from scratch for the remaster, and then building a live version for the launch - he just couldn't face playing the same thing again every night, and was relieved to let Price tweak a few faders and let the sequencers get on with it

― maf you one two (maffew12), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 00:23 (three years ago) link
fwiw, Karl's book mentions that after a Freur or MK1 gig with terrible sound, Rick did the group's sound from the stage from then on.... so even when it's the karaoke type gig, there's that I guess
― maf you one two (maffew12), Wednesday, 17 June 2020 00:24 (three years ago) link
(apparently they played Spikee on nights when it was Karl & Rick, and not on Price & Hyde. And Rick mixed the show from the booth in Cologne?)

I heard Spoon Deep only a few years ago in the small hours in a fog-filled railway arch with a bunch of very happy maniacs, and even by the regularly high standards of that particular institution at the time it stands out as a peak dancefloor moment. Surfboy is fine too, definitively 1993/94 dubby techno.

WTF, me from 10 years ago? ― DJP, Tuesday, July 17, 2007 6:05 AM I liked it back then too, but I've always seemed to like Underworld at their most relentless. "Tin There" is blissful carnage. ― Eric H., Tuesday, July 17, 2007 6:19 AM
"moaner" was the first underworld track i heard, the 10-minute cut off of the batman & robin soundtrack. i was 10, maybe? it absolutely scared the shit out of me. ― BradNelson, Wednesday, July 6, 2011 3:42 PM

The thing about the vocals is that, well, for instance ... I would possibly agree that "Moaner" was just relentless boshing techno if the vocals weren't doing just as much rhythmic and dynamic work as a less-relentless instrumental track would; there is nothing necessarily better or smarter or less crude about coding that work into the synths instead of doing it through a vocal performance. (I also love the rigorously simple structure of that song, btw, which spends exactly half the time doing an uphill boshing-techno climb, then starts over and repeats the exact same thing only New and Improved Now with Added Vocals!) ― nabisco, Tuesday, December 16, 2008 6:30 AM
