Underworld - Classic or Dud?

DOOT!

Seeyoolaaaaayta Seeyoolaaaaayta aHEPMEAnownowaHEPMEanownownooooooowww yeah...

Wonder why I never posted on this thread, actually. Great of course but I'm too under the weather to say more than that.

I like Underworld, but their remix of Depeche Mode's "Barrel Of a Gun" still leaves me quite cold.

chillout music innit

"alfie" looks like that guy from Lord of the Rings

Or a cut-rate 1970s Brian Eno.

Sure I like their more mellow new tunes, but I still would absolutely kill to hear them do another total rockin' monster 12" banger like "Cowgirl" or "Cups" or "Spikee." Hell, NOBODY does totally rockin' monster 12" bangers anymore. Ah well.

Highly recommended. Hope the Euros are going to the Cocoon gig in October, it will be one for the ages.

Roxor.

Going to see them March 28th!

I can't wait to hear whether they still have it live.

where, roxy?

I've spent the last year or two or three periodically obsessing over "Moaner."

SHE'S CALLING FROM AMERICA

Second Toughest is incredible, but I've somehow not managed to get into any other of their albums.

^^^ crazypants

second toughest seems like the most successful album of their career in terms of hanging together as one piece but their other stuff is awesome too

Which other album would you say is the pick of the bunch?

i would say beaucoup fish b/c it doesn't have any weak tracks at all, though dubnobasswithmyheadman has a couple of the most epic peaks.

I would also say Beaucoup Fish even though I don't like "Bruce Lee", partially because "Cups" in and of itself outepics everything on STITI and the albums structure has pretty much perfect build and release.

I'll give BF another listen. Still wish they'd gone ahead and called it Tonight, Matthew, We're Going to be Underworld (a joke which would not have survived the Atlantic crossing at all).

awesome: U2 or one of their crew selecting STITI to be blasted out over the PAs before their soldier field show in '98.

this band somehow became my drunken jukebox selection standby, mostly BF tracks

that does not really bode well for BF's overall shelf life unfortunately

They certainly represent value for money in terms of track lengths!

i hope to find a bar which has their riverrun EPs on the jukebox for that reason alone ^_^

I have played "Cups" at bars before. It's only lasted to the awesome coda once. ;_;

haha if I ever find a bar that has "thing in a book" in the mp3 options I will become even more infamous and despised

"lovely broken thing"

wait

well you guys can figure that out

One of the best live bands I've ever experienced. Some smart arse will comment that I've obviously not seen too many live bands. Not true!

Unbelievably moving effort, by two fifty year old head nodders. Ok when I saw them Emmerson was on board too
