I just sent in a ballot. That was ridiculously difficult. A bunch of what I love about underworld is contained in the remixes they did from 92-95, so I'd like to chat about those at some point too.

listening to Second Toughest tonight, I'm 8 minutes in and just ordered the vinyl and now think I put Juanita & the whole album too low on my ballot
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:27 (three years ago) link
cancel the poll!
― maffew12, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:30 (three years ago) link
now that I've looked it over I'd probably only put either of them up one spot, god damn they just have so much good stuff
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:31 (three years ago) link
I've heard the Everything, Everything version of this so many times, that was the version of it I knew for a couple years before I got the STITI CD
it's really a different tune, Tim definitely otm

keep listening

can I just say that banging piano underpinning is one of the most brilliant things ever in electronic music

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 7 May 2020 13:57 (three weeks ago) link
how many electronic acts are legendary from just 1 or 2 12"s? Skyscraper(!) and Rez(!!!) came before Spikee. They were legends before the "first" album. dang.
― maffew12, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:46 (three years ago) link
you know it never occurred to me the hook in "Sappy's Curry" was just a bunch of sampled guitar like the "King of Snake" intro
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:47 (three years ago) link
don't forget that Dirty predates those!

― ufo, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:48 (three years ago) link
xp Orbital maybe. and Chime, Belfast, & Satan all dropped before the first album
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:48 (three years ago) link
in my thoughts rn about the legacy of Lemon Interupt had Underworld stopped at Rez.
― maffew12, Thursday, 28 May 2020 02:56 (three years ago) link
yeah goodnight
a Rowla/Chemical Beats mash up would be pretty sick

I did relisten to dubnobass the other day - the 2014 version, as I've deleted all the original files off my computer and the vinyl copy is the new one. it's weird how much those little imperfections that were wiped out in the remaster get lodged in your brain - it sounds off without the mic pop in the Skyscraper intro or the deep bass stutter on Dirty Epic
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 May 2020 03:12 (three years ago) link
I had a similar moment of regret relistening to 100 Days Off after submitting my ballot. I think I've underrated that album since it came out

Everyone has.

― groovypanda, Thursday, 28 May 2020 07:17 (three years ago) link
I haven't treated Underworld as an albums band at all since Second Toughest, but listening back to whole LPs for the poll has revealed the startling fact that they're very very good at making albums.
(emailed you, brotherlovesdub)
― massage angry pixels (sic), Thursday, 28 May 2020 07:21 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I got into them in 93 with that awesome run of singles and by the time the album dropped the following January it was one of the most anticipated in a long while. And then they went and dropped the Dark & Long EPs a few months later

see the Vitalic thread last week. also Inner City tbh
― massage angry pixels (sic), Thursday, 28 May 2020 09:12 (three years ago) link
I meant that they could've stopped there and they'd still be remembered
― maffew12, Thursday, 28 May 2020 10:59 (three years ago) link
yah I said the same thing about Vitalic (people kinda care about the first album, but...) and I literally can't name an Inner City song after the first two singles
― massage angry pixels (sic), Thursday, 28 May 2020 11:11 (three years ago) link
Aha. Yeah some might've done better not to make an album at all!

inner city’s paradise is a good album!!! but also yes the singles are towering
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 May 2020 12:48 (three years ago) link
Had The Prodigy packed it in after that first run of singles (What Evil Lurks/Android, Charly, Everybody in the Place) they still would have been massively remembered IMO.

So many good Inner City singles, I can’t even...

So I'm guessing it's too late to submit a ballot! All good, I'll treat this rollout as a means of finding the hidden gems I don't have to look for.
― octobeard, Thursday, 28 May 2020 20:38 (three years ago) link
NO MORE BALLOTS

I didn't do a ballot for one thing because I don't know much of their stuff past Boucoup Fish but I anticipate enjoying the reveals.
