Those days/tunes were the absolute heyday of Underworld as far as I'm concerned and it still holds up now.

 

[Monkey Do]

Whooo underworld! Think one of their parties was the first all nighter I went to...certainly the first time I took E in a club.

On the subject of Underworld......are they still alive?

Underworld, are still going, But Darren Emerson has left to concentrate on Djing all over the world....
Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, are still doing studio and live, but don't know what their output will be like minus emerson, who did give their stuff a solid structure from a dj point of view....

 

[Monkey Do]

The last album 100 days off(?) was done without Emerson and was OK, wouldn't call it classic underworld 'cos I can't remember any of the tracks off it right now but it's probably better than beucoup fish or whatever that was called.

 

[seuss]

yes!

i'm not mad about the new stuff... but underworld remain a definitive group.

the DVD is fucking excellent - perfect for those post-post-party moments when speech eludes everyone & the walls start whispering. plus there's lotsa cool visual tomato art jam stuff going on.

excellent live as well but i wish they could have done a bit more... i dunno, improvisational or spontaneous performance. every tune was great - but great as in 'ooh, that's bang on the recorded version', rather than anything new (surely the point of a live performance!)

 

[oli oi oi]

Yeah emerson started doing the label underwater. and the night underwater at the end (sik night by the way, recommend it) they do sorta proggy, funky techy house. really good i love underwater but, yes again it's not underworld is it. the 100 days off album was good. 2 months off (track) is fukin amazing but the rest of the album is so so (in my opinion) But then again looking at the past albums, it's the same, they did some outstanding tracks, but can't really find a whole album that's really outstanding all the way thru. But NO underworld are gods, but yeah better when emerson was there

Anyone know who did the psy-trance remix of Born Slippy?????

 

[damion]

wrecked machines - trancespotting on his album

and there's a remix of wrecked machines one with pixel and goblin and god knows

 

[mickeyblueiiiis]

Big respect.............i absolutely love underworlds early stuff.................Emmerson is the bomb as far as i'm concerned..............

I wonder if anyone can help....................I'm after a instrumental of born slippy on 12".

Bin lookin for one of them since.....................96.......never found one


Oooooooh.....................I culd crush a greyp

 

[grokit23]

wrecked machines - trancespotting on his album

stinks IMO!

 

[damion]

yes it is indeed a load of wank ---- this i thought was implied by my use of the words "wrecked" and "machines"

:p

 

[grokit23]

[Full Lotus]
