I love how it just gets into it from the start. The first 30 seconds of that tune loop around in my head a lot.

I really really enjoy the entire record, but 'If Rah' and 'Motorhome' are my favourites, simply because I love how both tracks develop.

Every Underworld album has at least one song that I find indispensable and will play on endless repeat at the drop of a hat; "If Rah" is that song from this album.

Also at one point I had my sons singing the "luna luna luna luna" part almost unprompted.

big thing about "If Rah" is that it just bangs right out of the box, as though the usual slowbuild/intro was just lopped off. good decision IMO.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 20:28 (seven years ago) link
and then it builds on top of that bang to become a bangernaut

I regret almost every single facet of my previous post
just saw this was nominated for a Grammy too. I'm guessing it's going to lose to Jean Michel Jarre but it's cool to see them (finally) get some recognition, it's about as overdue as Aphex Twin's was

(and yeah I know, fuck the Grammies)
wait is he saying "shoot the stars, pizza bread" at 0:56?

I used to hear "beads of prayer", but yeah now it's "pizza bread"

Beckinsale was great in this but I was peeved that they never revealed who Barbara was (the werewolf, maybe).

man I would totally not mind if they released an entire album that sounded like "Motorhome"
― Fluffy Saint-Bernard (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 2 February 2017 14:47 (seven years ago) link
what if as a concept they made that album and it only was played in a motorhome. you get on it, and it's just driving around places while you listen to the album

Breaking And Entering soundtrack is one of the best things they've ever done. Beautiful music.

Can't get into this on the whole, but Motorhome is lovely, and a bit... Beatlesy?

I don't know about Beatlesy, but I really love how that track develops.

So, the NYT has an interview up with a dude named Jad Abumrad. I'd never heard of him before, but apparently he's a big deal in US media circles because of something called 'Radiolab'.The following exchange caught on my attention:
What were you listening to when you started at Oberlin? Bad techno. My musical taste goes high and low. I was into, like, Underworld’s “Rez.” It’s like the best techno song ever made, still. It’s horrible music, but legitimately an amazing song.
Can anyone parse this strange statement for me?

was under the impression from earlier in this thread that they were doing more straightforward sets these days but they're doing a facebook livestream right now from amsterdam and it feels basically as improvisational as everything everything—already heard radically different versions of "between stars" and "bruce lee" feeding into each other

(They have basically done straightforward track pause track pause track sets for quite a few years tho. Would be great if they go back to the improv continuous mix days)
― groovypanda, Friday, 20 October 2017 19:27 (six years ago) link
I would be delighted to know that Underworld are a great live act again! Someone on the Underworld forum said they were recording the set, hope it ends up somewhere accessible.
