essines Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Haven't seen a good underworld thread in ages. every album up to beaucoup fish is flawless. these guys had it right for so long. just listening to dirty epic, came on randomly during a shuffle of my itunes. i don't know what much to say of them, but discuss, i know you guys got love.

sidewinder Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The Cowgirl/Dirty Epic EP is awesome. As is the Dark & Long EP. Both are the length of full albums, amazing. The song "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" was one of the first to open my eyes to electronic/dance music (having already had a lot of exposure to industrial and 80s stuff). So I love Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest in the Infants, and pretty much any material attached to those albums. I was a little disappointed when Beaucoup Fish came out, honestly. It's not bad by any means, but disappointing compared to the other two. Everything, Everything didn't do that much for me either, it seemed they were getting a bit too trancey or something. So I gave up after that. I love the VHS "Footwear Repairs By Craftsmen At Competetive Prices", used to put it on during parties all the time. Great tripped out typography. Some of it was annoying, like the neon colors, but otherwise it's really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest assegai Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My favorite artist. Their devotion to their craft is unparalleled. If you happen to keep up... Underworld keeps daily journal entries on underworldlive.com, sometimes with the new tunes. Both Karl and Rick have twitter accounts and maintain a close relationship with their fans. Everyone loves the classics however I feel their sound matures nicely with their age and every new release is just as significant as their previous work. As most of you I'm sure know, they're heavy into art and own a design company called Tomato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conor74 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 How can anyone not like Underworld? Just remembered my wife. How can anyone apart from my wife not like Underworld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barricade Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 i like underworld the first 2 tracks on second toughest are epic. edit: their latest album sucks donkey balls, that track where the vocalist attempts to rap is so cringe worthy...

Joyrex Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I remember one of the first electronic music videos I ever saw was Push Upstairs and thought it was a real trip: [youtubehd]4nRNoXT_gUc[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't care much for Change the Weather and Under the Radar. 100 Days Off was alright, but the three Emerson albums are flawless. I quite liked Oblivion With Bells, too. Anyone want to point me in the direction of the Cowgirl/Dirty Epic EP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stagger Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 One of my favorites is the Blue Mountain set. It's on their site here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Conor74 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 [quote name='Mesh Gear Fox' date='29 October 2009 - 02:14 AM' why doesn't she like them? I don't know. It's mystifying. Then again, she hates Nathan Fake too, which I find bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fishtank Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Underworld is the best I love everything they do listen to Swing Up High version 2 if you havn't already it's delightful http://underworldlive.com/Audio/Studio-Recordings/Swing-Up-High.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Otto Krat Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Underworld is the greatest dance stuff. But they are a bit dumb. They probably used to have many drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdamAnchorman Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 been listening for over 10 years now, great stuff. i second the cowgirl/dirty epic and dark and long singles, great stuff. and also the blue mountain show is awesome, "please help me / cappe ffuno" is great. footwear repairs is awesome too. my friend had an art exhibition about 5 years back where he had artists do up skateboards and he asked tomato to do it fully expecting a rejection. they accepted, so now he has a one of a kind skateboard thats laser-etched with tomato art.

Phrank Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Underworld were very important to me and how my musical tastes developed... wasn't into beaucoup fish though. My favourite track is still pearls girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conor74 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Cool wind following, following after you, rising for you, your skin beautiful... I know it was post Emerson, but always liked this one. [youtubehd]o_bGZ4ohjDE[/youtubehd] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh Speedy Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 You talk about post Emerson like it's a bad thing. A Hundred Days Off was them all over. Now Oblivion With Bells - that's the shit one. only thing good about that record was that they toured for it and only played two or three songs from it......suppose the Sunshine track was alright.

Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 great great band. was hoping this was about the film though. great film! why weren't underworld on the underworld soundtrack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conor74 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 You talk about post Emerson like it's a bad thing. Meh, I didn't lose sleep when he left. Its just so many Underworld fans get a bit sniffy and say they used to love them when Emerson was involved, but they were crap after etc. Like all those who say they loved U2 up to Achtung Baby...
