Underworld - 'Dirty Epic' Appreciation Thread

one of EDMs finest. from the addictive guitar riff to the hypnotizing vocals, this track epitomizes the word 'epic'. the lyrics are a stroke of genius in their symplicity and manage to implement themselves into your head. "I get my kicks on channel six"..."here comes christ on crutches". brilliant yet effective in their deliverance.

everything about this track glows despite its dark overtones.,and its structure is one of its most impressive attributes. an all-around lush track and one of my personal favourites.

dirty epic is one of my top underworld tracks...

quote:

and the light blinds my eyes.
and i feel...so...shaken in my faith.

here comes christ on crutches.

and here comes another god. here comes another god like a
buffalo thunder

with a...smell of sugar...and a velvet tongue...and designer
voodoo.

and i got phone sex to see me through the emptiness in my
501s.

freeze-dried with a new religion. and my teeth stuffed back in
my head.

does anyone have theories on what it means?

I feel like it's talking about technology being a replacement for religion, 'the light it blinds my eyes' referring to the TV not the sort of light or enlightenment that many find in religion.

the presence of technology related stuff throughout the song and talks of 'new religion' and 'designer voodoo' tend to make me think this also.

I love trying to figure out Underworld songs, they're so train-of-thought and dark.

perfectly describes that song. if you guys thought DE was hard to decipher:

Rioja. rioja. reverend al green.
Deep blue morocco. the water on stone.
The water on concrete. the water on sand.
The water on fire. smoke.
The wind. the salt. the bride boat coming.
Dave in the water. old man.
Einstein on top of his house. white deep blue
Andalusia red yellow red yellow black car.
Red light. far. black place. walls. blue chair.
Morocco. hamburg. paris.
The pieces of the puzzle are waiting.
The water of the dark boats gliding.
The bride boats gone out to sea and
Dave is floating. dave is floating.
And old man einstein crazy in his attic.
Crazy.

White room. sun room. shadow room.
Night transmitting cars across the room.
These things sent to dance across the room.
Eye watching from your bed. returning to you.
