Thanks sic!
I’m gonna give a shout out to the Up 2 Down remix of Why Don’t you take me, which sounds like an outtake from the Dark and Long ep. I’m pretty sure it incorporates elements of Spoon Deep

Also as an aside, seems like in the age of streaming when you get paid per play more and more remixes are only 5 minutes long. Underworld demonstrate that 15 minute remixes rule

Yeah, I noticed Max Richter has split his (admittedly 8 hour long) Sleep album into 204 tracks on Spotify and was wondering if that was for play count reasons

Nice collection, sic. I threw out most of what I had cobbled together. Only things I had that you didn't:
David Lynch - Good Day Today (Underworld Classic Remix)Manic Street Preachers - William's Last Words (Underworld Remix)Paul Oakenfold and Spitfire - Feed Your Mind (Underworld Remix)
are those eligible? How about "Baby Wants to Ride"?

my bad, poll is for 92-97!
― maf you one two (maffew12), Sunday, 28 June 2020 16:06 (three years ago) link
Are all the tracks being kept separate in this one sic? As there's a much smaller pool seems it would be a big advantage to the songs that have 2 or 3 UW remixes if those votes were combined.
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Sunday, 28 June 2020 17:41 (three years ago) link
Baby Wants To Ride, Good Day Today and William's Last Words are covers and were in the last poll!
Yeah, keeping everything separate. I'm sure we'll have a much smaller voter pool too :)

Also, do you just need the track & remix name on the ballot or should we also include the artist?
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Monday, 29 June 2020 09:36 (three years ago) link
copying and pasting from the above would be extremely helpful!
― an, uh, razor of love (sic), Monday, 29 June 2020 20:46 (three years ago) link
Will do.
And for clarification, I think for Cafe Del Mar it's:
Underworld Dub Heaven Mix 12:20Underworld Mix Three 13:45Underworld Mix 10:03
The 7:35 one is the Hip Hop mix (with the spoken vocals) and as far as I know nothing to do with UW?

^ the Rosetta Stone! thanking you

The confusion arose because on the UK CD single the tracks were not only mislabeled but also in the wrong order (track 2 was actually the Hip Hop mix for example) and then with the advent of P2P sharing those errors spread far and wide (and are still incorrect on many soulseek results even today)

Are there any other eligible tracks outside of the 42 above?
Emerson did a few Underwater ones in 96 (so not really UW) but there's the Massive Attack one from 97 which was listed as "Darren Emerson for Underworld Mix"
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Saturday, 4 July 2020 15:48 (three years ago) link
I included Rick's and Emerson's solo remixes, and Karl &/or Rick's outside-Underworld guest spots, in the zip files in the other thread (which had a two-week expiry, so might be gone by now). Anything anyone cares to vote for is fine, but I figure these as the ~canonical~ '90s Underworld remixes.

oh boy! i've been a little off ilx for the past week due to "trying to actually focus on work" reasons so i haven't' hopped back on this thread but i will try to listen to some remixes and put together a ballot this week! 10th of july should be totally doable, i'll just pick a day and give a 1 or 0 to every track then relisten to the 1s and rank em. A LITTLE GLIMPSE INTO MY PROCESS 4 U

One ballot received!
― bat ain't Thad (sic), Friday, 10 July 2020 10:01 (three years ago) link
Lol
Planning on sending mine in later
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Friday, 10 July 2020 10:24 (three years ago) link
aaaaah midnight what timezone? I should manage.. I've listened to it all at least once, I'll go back through later on.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 10 July 2020 11:33 (three years ago) link
Also sic, do you want the full text copied from your list (ie including year of release and track length) or just the artist and track name bit?
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Friday, 10 July 2020 12:03 (three years ago) link
copying the whole thing is easier for you folks so go with that!
it can be a loose, rolling midnight, but I'll consider it a wild success if five people bother to vote tbh
― bat ain't Thad (sic), Friday, 10 July 2020 19:15 (three years ago) link
we have now received: two ballots
― bat ain't Thad (sic), Sunday, 12 July 2020 19:54 (three years ago) link
moderate success
― maf you one two (maffew12), Sunday, 12 July 2020 21:14 (three years ago) link
looking forward to the rollout
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Monday, 13 July 2020 08:40 (three years ago) link
Any chance groovyp, Brad, cheek or Will (or anyone else who asked for a remix poll ahead of time) can get a rough ballot done in the next day?
― bat ain't Thad (sic), Monday, 13 July 2020 20:04 (three years ago) link
yeah unfortunately it will prob not happen
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 13 July 2020 20:07 (three years ago) link
Is mine not one of the two then (as I emailed it on Friday)?
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Monday, 13 July 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
oh whoops three ballots! most of the voters have the same first name
gissa top ten Brad :)
― bat ain't Thad (sic), Monday, 13 July 2020 23:08 (three years ago) link
heckit, I'll make the deadline this Friday if that helps, it's not like anyone's really clamouring for the rollout (and it'll be quick & easy to tally)
― bat ain't Thad (sic), Monday, 13 July 2020 23:09 (three years ago) link
funny. usually my given name of Groovy Will makes me pretty inconspicuous.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Monday, 13 July 2020 23:15 (three years ago) link
ack sorry! i have been spending as little time as possible in front of the computer lately due to the heat so i completely shat the bed on this. D:
