EdamAnchorman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I really love Karl's lyrics, especially the low-key sexual ones like banstyle. Also love the ambient tracks like dark & long (most 'ospitable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr lopez Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 I always thought that woke up this morning, the sopranos theme song, was a direct steal from dark and long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's tough to sum up how much I love these guys, how important and, even, underrated I feel they are, how fucking inspirational and amazing their career arch has been; transitioning from Rockabilly to Avant New-Wave to Pop-Rock to Electronica, and all with absolute aplomb! I finally saw them live in Oakland last year and I could only adequately describe it with gushing hyperbole. Their set list that night included so many tracks that have meant so much to me for so long: Dark Train, Juanita, Rowla, 8-Ball, Two Months Off, Push Upstairs, King of Snake... I was very, very happy that night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 O__O wow i envy you. (quality is shit but yeah) As do I. I've listened to that disc at least 100 times. That and Beaucoup Fish were on constant rotation when I was in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extralife Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 The Dubnobass and Second Toughest box sets are absolutely essential. ...and I don't know why 100 Days Off doesn't get more love. Sonic perfection to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 ...and I don't know why 100 Days Off doesn't get more love. Sonic perfection to me. a lot of love from me. 2 Months Off is a brilliant track for one. I remember zabiela spinning it, slightly pitched down on a set in 2002. I remember that being an awesome moment (I was kinda new to underworld, and probably coming up on some pill or other lol). Not on 100 Days Off, but Sasha spun a version of Jumbo on his 1999 Babylon set that I'd love to have too, can't find it/don't know if it exists anywhere other than that set.

cooliofranco Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 i really love this track. i have a greatest hits comp on my computer, i'll have to listen to more of their stuff whoa thats a wonderful track and such a great underworld mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Mughnus Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 That greatest hits comp he's talking about is solid, I'd recommend it to anyone. Dark and Long Dark Train btw, what a track. This thread has inspired me to go on an Underworld binge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 ...and I don't know why 100 Days Off doesn't get more love. Sonic perfection to me. I used to dislike it for years, but revisiting it more recently has properly shined a light on how good it is. Sola Sistim, Mo Move, Ballet Lane. Luetin is my favourite Underworld track. The only track I don't really like on it is Dinosaur Adventure 3D, which always struck me as a really bad attempt at doing another King of Snake. Haha yeah good shout (and good memory on my music tastes !) - but yeah in this instance, I've always had Underworld as a band that brings my energy levels up - Caffeine and sunshine for my ears and brain. I always feel kinda down and introspective with everything post-Beaucoup Fish (well more specifically post-Everything Everything) and just I want them to be all happy and big, and big and happy again. Ha, fair enough. Oblivion With Bells is my favourite UW record, so I'm on a completely different page. Although they definitely have 'big and happy' moments, I've always found there's a certain melancholic moodiness to even their '90s albums. Dirty Epic, Dark & Long, Something Like a Mama, those strings in Skyscraper, Stagger, Winjer. It's one of the things I love most about them.

cwmbrancity Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 anytime i hear anyone (usually a manc chav) become hilariously emotional about seeing oasis in concert etc it almost perfectly mirrors how i feel when watching everything everything Oasis were the Status Quo of a certain later generation who confused 3-chord pub rock with something transcendental most older Mancs have far more veneration for Factory Records and its legacy, The Hacienda & bands like New Order & The Stone Roses Underworld had 1 or 2 sublime moments, eg the various mixes of Dirty Epic (specifically the Dirty mix) take some beating, the soundtrack to many a 6am-sunrise revelatory moment and caned by the better jocks of the period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmbrancity Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 edit div alert "Rez" could still be played just about anywhere on the planet & work wonders & probably will be over Glastonbury this weekend even if Dirty Epic is me personal favourite (cant find a specific Cowgirl rmx due to multitasking but thats digressing.........)

beerwolf Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 i really love this track. i have a greatest hits comp on my computer, i'll have to listen to more of their stuff classic tune on a side note, this was off The Beach soundtrack where also lurks one of the best Orbital tunes....

peace 7 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 In my high school and college days, I listened to a lot of Underworld. I learnt a lot from their music. I lived a lot with their music. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaucoup Fish: https://www.borndirty.org/forums/showthread.php?p=162572#post162572 - if you read further back in the thread, the 4CD edition was originally pencilled in for last November but got pulled so seems they've still been working on it. Dead Cities - for whatever reason, VirginEMI are proceeding with the 2LP Lifeforms repress, but the band are in talks to do some deluxe reissues so just a case of being patient. Pande may have jumped the gun a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
