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

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.

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

in my thoughts rn about the legacy of Lemon Interupt had Underworld stopped at Rez.

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

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!

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 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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxdNS8WNSOY
...and remembered being disappointed as a kid how they'd given up on the electronics and become a boring rock band, lol
― massage angry pixels (sic), Saturday, 30 May 2020 02:04 (three years ago) link
listening to Beaucoup Fish tonight, this is one of the very first CDs I ever bought. was looking for more music like Lo Fidelity Allstars and it was recommended to me.
still remember the first time I ever listened to it..."what the hell is this easy listening crap? oh....holy shit YESSS"
― frogbs, Saturday, 30 May 2020 02:21 (three years ago) link
seriously what would I have missed out on had I not listened to that one Amazon review
― frogbs, Saturday, 30 May 2020 02:28 (three years ago) link
I was 13 and could only afford like 4 CDs a year! what are the odds I'd pick this one knowing nothing about the group
― frogbs, Saturday, 30 May 2020 02:29 (three years ago) link
you know now that I'm hearing it more firmly in the context it was released this was quite a big leap for them. the beats are so much different than anything they'd done before.
― frogbs, Saturday, 30 May 2020 02:47 (three years ago) link
man, you're bringing me back. at 15 I asked my Mom to pick up Dig Your Own Hole from Columbia Mall. she brought back Beaucoup Fish as well because the guy at Sam Goody told her "if you want techno, you NEED to hear this."
I still think about that guy sometimes.
― cheek, Saturday, 30 May 2020 02:53 (three years ago) link
I'd guess it would have taken you a bit longer, frogbs, but their name was thrown around so much in the 90s for a band that never got radio play. I kept hearing about them and reading about them. cf my experience with UW as a youth: hear "Moaner" after buying the Batman and Robin OST - hate it; listen to "Born Slippy NUXX" after reading about how amazing it is - find it boring; grudgingly check out dubnobass after some friends in college recommend it - everything clicks
