Originally posted by Prototrance Wouldn't call it trance, the genre its closest to would be the all encompassing Techno. Awesome tune, second only to 'Banstyle:Sappy's Curry' as the best Underworld tune IMO. As for similar tracks try 'Dinosaur Adventure 3D' 'Moaner' and 'Kittens' all great Underworld tunes that are roughly in the same area as Pearls Girl.

Banstyle is very nice to relax to. I love Underworld for their wreckless energy.

everything everything - great album

Pearl's Girl sounds like a drum and bass version of Born Slippy. Personally I like this track better than Born Slippy because it doesn't trick you into thinking that it's a trace song. When I heard Born Slippy for the first time I had high expectations for the track because of all the hype and once I heard those familiar chords I thought the rest of the track was going to be gold. Unfortunately, after those beautiful chords the track detours in such a weird direction that it really left me disillusioned as to what Slippy could have been. All I know is that Born Slippy is not trance and I don't like it. With Pearl's it's a different story because I am not duped with any trance elements to begin with and I enjoy it for what is whatever that may be because I'm not that good with naming genres.

Pearl's girl is a great song.

So?

I think Born Slippy is much better off as the original than the countless remixes and mashups, ESPECIALLY the trance ones-

Originally posted by DJ RJT I actually think it's pretty solid... The Sneaker Pimps, Lucious Jackson, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk (this album is the reason I bought "Homework"), the Bowie track, Everything But the Girl (easily one of my favorite ETBTG tracks), and the Duncan Sheik track were all ace.

Like I said, my memory's a bit shakey. I may just be recalling my disappointment in it being 'just another electronica album', riding the hype set out by the Hackers soundtrack, than the actual quality of songs.
