sidewinder Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I happened to lose interest in them around the time he left, but it had nothing to do with his presence or absence. He was still in the band when Beaucoup Fish came out, and that's what turned me away a little. I should revisit that one of these days though, I might like it more now than I did then. I might even like A Hundred Days Off and Oblivion With Bells if I gave them a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Beautiful Burnout on 'Oblivion With Bells' is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdamAnchorman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 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. just realized tomato has this listed on their website, crazy!!

He was still in the band when Beaucoup Fish came out, and that's what turned me away a little. I still love the ol' Underworld, but I do think they lost some of their 'epicness' when he left. There's definitely a shift in the style of their albums post Beaucoup Fish which doesn't have some of the immediacy of their earlier work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdamAnchorman Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 did anyone get that mmm skyscraper book? i love tomato art and was wondering if its worth the $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest assegai Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 did anyone get that mmm skyscraper book? i love tomato art and was wondering if its worth the $20 Yeah. It's lengthly and the pages are thick, it's mostly b&w typography. I'd consider it more of a collectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I just woke up from a dream about this thread, and my support of Dubnobasswithmyheadman, Second Toughest in the Infants, and supporting EPs. It was like we were all actually talking. I think I know what I must do today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Manager Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 One of my favorites is the Blue Mountain set. It's on their site here. That show is amazing. Also, on John Peel 10-12-03, that's great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 another one of my favorites... but i think i paid more attention to them during "second toughest" and "beaucoupe fish". i am down with the last 2 they released, but don't know the albums from beginning to end like i do the former.

Guest margaret thatcher Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 That show is amazing. Also, on John Peel 10-12-03, that's great too. ah yeah, i was the one on the dirtyforum who recorded the peel show from the radio when it happened. i uploaded the wav, stuck it on a cd for me, and went to berlin the next day. fucking cold it was. soundtrack to my travels though. trim from that session was the fucking tits. also i remember listening to zane lowe before peel's show that night - he played cowgirl and sang along with the verse bit. only time i ever liked that fucker. also, essines, cowgirl's on the everythingeverything cd/dvd, after rez. and it absolutely fucking kills.

Guest Hanratty Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I havent seen the dvd, but i've had the everything, everything cd for years and it has SO much energy. for me it is better than their albums because every track rocks a little more. it made me like 2nd toughest less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springymajig Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm not into Underworld as much as I used to be, and I feel guilty that the only album of theirs that I still like is Beaucoup Fish. Jumbo is just one of those songs that seem almost perfect to me... like I could listen to just that one track all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Winston Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I do love the first two albums but Beaucoup Fish has to be my fave as it reminds me of being 16 in the summer when it came out. The gig we went to around the same time was pretty special too so its more a personal thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Reason Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I love or at least like pretty much everything Underworld have done but personally I think the era they're in now is their greatest. I'm a Big Sister... is incredible and Oblivion with Bells is sheer perfection. I don't think the other albums come anywhere near that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 pretty much love all their stuff MK2 onwards. oddly enough, I actually liked the horrible rap track on the last album....its really cheesy, but its got a really upbeat uplifting sorta feel to it and Im hoping they were just acting stupid talkin about every sunny day slaggin off. Everything, Everything I could listen to again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springymajig Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 A Hundred Days Off actually has some awesome tracks, I can't see how anyone can't like Leutin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Enjoying the love for their later stuff. Oblivion With Bells is my favourite Underworld record. Ring Road is uplifting and fun and doesn't deserve the hatred it gets. LovelyBrokenThing is great, their soundtrack work is grand... ah, pretty stoked for a new album this year too. As time goes by I like them more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Underworld are great. Seen them live 4 times now, and I would quite happily see them another 4 given the chance. Ring Road is a tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Reason Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yup, they are a hell of an experience live!! My God... I also had the good fortune of seeing all three shows that Karl Hyde did with Brian Eno at the Sydney Opera House... That was a very cool event. Hyde had a little poetry book and a desk full of electronic goodies connected to a mixing console and he'd just sort of sit there rocking on hi chair and going into little spasms until he'd grab the mic and start rambling, occasionally taking verses from his book but often just standing up and pacing, going at it free form. Favourite Underworld tracks at this point... 'Best Mamgu Ever'... 'Ess Gee'... 'Moaner'... 'Beautiful Burnout' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
