dr lopez Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 EXACTLY 20 years ago today, on January 24th, Underworld released dubnobasswithmyheadman. So dear to my heart as I found it when my interest in lyrics and songs was beginning to seriously wane. I have spun in countless times since that happy moment in 8th grade. I’m so grateful for this classic so let’s celebrate its birthday - I'm spinning it now as I write this; it hasn’t aged a fuckin' day! PS - To any Sopranos fan: Listening to “Dark & Long” I think it’s pretty clear where Alabama 3 got their inspiration for “Woke Up This Morning.” anyone else agree?

goDel Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hurrah! January 24th is Dubnobasswithmyheadman day. Still think it's a brilliant album. A rare mixture between underground techno and pop which deserved every bit of success it got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Superlative album... I haven't actually heard any of the Underworld before this one though, although I did hear that early 1980's 'Doo Doo' track that Karl Hyde did the vox on.

mcbpete Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 For those that think the loudness war isn't a thing - put on any track released this year (erm, not one by Richard Chartier though!) with any track on dubnobass .... The album is unbelievably quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patternoverlap Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Have loved this album since I got it in the 90s (can't recall the exact date). Its been too long since I've played it. I will remedy that today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drix Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 That super deluxe pack is amazing! I seriously haven't been this stoked for a release in ages. I'm considering going to London for that show as well. Would be great to hear the whole album live. Maybe even Emmerson would show up?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Visitor Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 This album is one of the most thrilling albums Ive ever heard... Underworld has and will always be one of my very favorite electronic artists. They're visionaries in every sense of the word, and unique and creative beyond measure. One of the only artists I can listen to while sleeping, working out, cleaning my room, driving, out at a club, being intimate with my gal, and for pure listening... And ANY of the their albums at that. You guys who live in London are beyond lucky for being able to catch them live in October.. I hope one day they come to the southwest.

Braintree Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 God DAMN. I want that box set! Superlative album... I haven't actually heard any of the Underworld before this one though, although I did hear that early 1980's 'Doo Doo' track that Karl Hyde did the vox on. I bought the first two albums ages ago, and honestly, you're not missing much. They didn't really figure out their sound until Dubnobass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
