This is the official Underworld appreciation thread.
The top 2 tracks for me, hands down are:
1. Jumbo
2. Two months off (sin Emerson ;))
-Jumbo-
brother there's a little sale on, uh, vests at, uh, Walmart?
...nine dollar.
- Oh yeah?
- eight some, yeah...nice little vest, light.
(hammer pounding)
click...
i need sugar i need a little watersugar
i get thoughts about you and the night it wants me
like a little lost child
locked in a safe place
lookin out the window
the dark move fast past
the window
the dark on the otherside of
the locked door
click...
my thumb's on a tetris keyring moving in brilliant timing
you pick up the phone
and i'm imagining
click...
tiny wires in her ears
(slide into the city)
tiny wires in her ears
(slide into the city
click...
- expected early in the mornin'
rising in the morning stopped to you (beneath the feet of the city)
click
you disconnect from me
click
when you're gone you take your century
telephone breath between us the whole world is between us
only these wires
dust between the wires
and the green grass
in the distance
i am your tourist
- expected early in the mornin'
moving in brilliant timing...
- i search for this spot then find you fellas hangin around at the same
stump...and you're right there with 'em
- well, i've never fished here, but i caught beaucoup fish in reverend
burton.
- i never did catch fish here
- beaucoup fish in reverend burton
i need sugar...
click...
- expected early in the mornin'
you disconnect from me
-Two Months Off-
There was a little drawing of a heart next to that,
followed by an exclaimation mark.
The back of his was covered in stuff... stuff like:
Brandon is not a very nice guy, but Alex is sooo nice.
And that had the exclaimation thing too.
It was just silly crap that hit the spot. And he let himself be drawn in.
you bring light in...
to a dark place
walking in light
glowing walking in light
gold ring around you
the hues of you
the golden sunlight of you
you bring light in...
cool wind following
following after you
rising for you
your skin beautiful
everything comes natural
fantastic fan
rocking rocking floating

I haven't heard Lovely Broken Thing or Pizza For Eggs. Fill me in.
Who's seen them live? Does the Everything, Everything DVD do justice?
Catchy, catchy, ultimate let loose tunes with Hyde lyrics that defy those of average EDM. So here's to UNDERWORLD. What was, is, would have been and is going to be. What in your opinions is that exactly? |

| The lyrics are just post-modernist stream of consciousness art. Or I think so anyway... I can never remember where stream of consciousness fits into literature. Underworld are a very arty act, which a lot of people don't catch onto. But they've also produced some killer records, especially early on in their career. |

Are you subtly trying to devalue things produced via stream of conscious? |

| I've seen them live and it was awesome. I haven't watched the entire DVD but it seemed to render pretty good the atmosphere. |

I think it's a pretty lazy technique. In Underworld's case, it means that the lyrics are much less smart than you might think.

| As far as literature, I know Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kerouac, etc all wrote by stream of conscious. To be honest, in regards of art/lyric/music, I wouldn't want to think my fave artist had to labour over what was produced. I wouldn't necessarily want editing, deleting, erasing, struggling, fixing, tweaking, yatayata. I think it's much more authentic for that creativity to exist and be put to use without much thought. |

I can see what you're saying now, I suppose. Some might consider lazy what others possess naturally.
P.S. Cherry Pie > Dark & Long |

| "Born Slippy.NUXX" and "cowgirl" are my Favorites, but I really enjoyed the Underworld "Rez" vs. Bedrock "Heaven Sent" (White Label) |

| I loved Beaucoup Fish. One of the best dance music albums of all time imo. Not a remotely poor track on it. Unfortunately I haven't been too into their stuff released after this with the exception of Two Months Off which was great. They will never get close to an album as good as any of their first three in the future, although I hope I'm wrong. Emerson is a big miss. |
