Underworld appreciation thread.

[res0nat0r]

I haven't listened to them for a bit, just listened to Second Toughest in the Infants again, definately still one of my top 5 cd's, and one of my all time favourite bands ever. These guys are still amazin'. I can listen to Banstyle/Sappys Curry every day and not get sick of it, one of my favourite tunes ever.
I remember picking up Dubnobass when I was first getting into electronic music and it blew my mind, still an amazing piece of work. Too bad I never got to see them live.

Well I'm off to listen to Everything, Everything to remember how it could have been.

Thoughts anyone.....?

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

They're the U2 of electronic music.

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

This thread comes out in a particular time for me...
I'm pretty desperate and counting the days to see them live for the first time, and on their first Southamerican tour. They'll be playing here in Buenos Aires less than two weeks from now and they've been coming out on every chat my friends and I have.
We've been thinking about how is gonna be as soon as they start playing... and we get crazy to think about the moment they play Born Slippy (THE HYMN!), or Jumbo, or Juanita... or any tune of them.

For me, this band and the chemical brothers go beyond electronic music. Because some friends of mine may not be into electronic music, but they "stand" either bands, and any records of them.

I've been watching the dvd way too many times these last couple of weeks.... and I just can't get enough of it.
And also the Cocoon set they did... playing more than 4 hours... it's been on my mp3 player refusing to be deleted.

ps: sorry if the post got a little long.

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

^^ they did not play live 4 hours in the Cocoon sadly...Sven V?th played tracks inbetween and Underworld DJd as well and played one track live and the next one from CDR's. I have seen them twice live and owe every album they made plus a few ridiculous bootlegs and rare (in ancient times released) material and they never cease to amaze me. They have so much energy in their tracks and combine so many styles..effect is that their sound is unique and their tracks never wear off because they dish out new versions in every gig they play and they always invent themselves new. Every time a new album comes out it comes close to a religious thing for me...the day it gets released is like Christmas, Birthday and best day in your life on the same day...feeling like a little kid again when I can explore new Underworld material.

long read, short bottom line: Underworld are a gift and they ROCK

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

Anyone know when the next official release is? (not including the web stuff they've been relasing which was so so)

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

Seen underworld live 3 times now, each time they blew me away, so much energy on stage and the crowd reactions are always amazing. Ibiza 2000 was the best show, the entire holiday was golden.

Thanks for the tip-off hos, hadnt even heard this was coming out.

The Cocoon set from a few weeks back is indeed very good. I too have all of their official album releases (and some other stuff)

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

Underworld are quality. Couldn't even tell you my favourite song of theirs, there are that many. Although Moaner is epic in a scary way if you get my meaning.

Re: Underworld appreciation thread.

hands down, they are the best live electronic band... after orbital.
