I must admit, Pearls Girl is like the best dance song probably that I've ever heard... it's amazing once you get into it... I usually diss this album Second Toughest in the Infants, but I think I'm starting to get into it... it ain't bad, you just need to be in the right mood I guess... |

Second Toughest in the Infants is a small masterpiece in my humble opinion. It's the album that introduced me into electronical music as a whole... Fascinating story, eh ? |

hey, Funkmaster: what do you think of Dubnobasswithmyheadman? I bought it just because it got such great reviews, but when i listened to it I thought it was pure shit. The only decent song on that album is perhaps Cowgirl. (sold the fuckin' album for £ 1...that's how shitty it was.) |

well I don't have anything else by Underworld... I actually bought this cause a friend of mine sent me a song, it was called Pearls Girl, and I really liked it... but then when I listened to the album version, it was totally different... I guess it was a remix or something... but I'm starting to like this album... |

track two is amazing as well... and track 4 is as well... well, I guess track 1 is pretty awesome as well... I don't really know the names, so I'm going by track numbers... I find though that listening to this album fairly loud with headphones on is quite an experience... anyways, I'm starting to like it, which was my original point... :) |

Underworld is my favorite electronica act... but second toughest in the infants is by far my least liked work by them.... rowla and confusion the waitress are genius, pearls girl is good, and the rest is pretty average... I'd reccomend their stuff in this order 1. Beaucoup Fish 2. Dubnobasswithmyheadman 3. Pearls Girl EP 4. Dark & Long EP 5. Born Slippy (original) EP 6. STITI & Lots of other stuff |

Beaucoup Fish = yuck Born Slippy ep is excellent. Funk you can find it at music world i think, and its only around $10, has 50+ min of music (good music too). Underworld are OK, not great now but not bad either, in my opinion. Very basic tho when compared to aphex. |

well I listened to the whole of Second Toughest last night, straight through, and I think it's totally amazing... I've had it for months, but last night was the first time I actually got really into it... |

I guess that because the music developes so gradually, it takes a while to get into it... I mean, the average Aphex Twin song is like probably 4 or 5 minutes, and there is so much going on that it never gets boring... but on this album the average is probably over 10 minutes, and the songs build really slowly... it's good though, now that I've listened to it quite a few times... |

you should get it all, I suppose. Don't know any REAL bad UW tracks, although the ones on Beaucoup Fish are a bit too minimalistic for my taste. The remixes o the UW singles done by people OTHER than Underworld are usually crap. Anyway, to answer your question; get Rez, Dirty Epic, Cowgirl, Born Slippy (either version is great), Mmm Skyskraper I love you, any Pearls Girl remix, Rowla, .... Check the UW discography at - lots of audio samples there too. |

Yeah it is great isn't it Ophecks... I've been listening to it loud with headphones on, and it's mad... I really like about half way through when the intro line comes in with the drums, and the vocals... Mmm, that's great... as for other stuff, well I haven't heard much Underworld myself, but definately check out the rest of Second Toughest in the Infants... Rowla is freaking awesome... Banstyle/Sappys Curry is amazing... probably my favorite from the album... Jaunita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love is also amazing... it's all good though... |

check out the tin there version of pearls girl...they sure do know how to tear shit up! also check out 'moaner' 'kittens' and 'push upstairs' from beaucoup fish..hell check out all their songs.. ...they also share aphex's tendency to do remixes of their songs that have nothing to do with the original and stiti is probably one of my favorite albums of all time... |

Underworld was the first artist whose old stuff I REALLY wanted to seek out. I've got about 16 of their CDs now. Now it's Aphex. Need. More. Aphex. I have 16 Afx CDs as well. Still, I have more than 20 Manics CDs which has to be topped by more Aphex. Anyway, getting back to what this thread is actually about: Yes, STITI is their best work. Yes, it is fucking BRILLIANT with headphones, Yes, Beaucoup Fish isn't all that great Yes, Everything, Everything was a let down and NO, Dubnobasswithmyheadman is definitely NOT shit! I have to admit buying it straight after hearing STITI for the first time and feeling let down. The thing is, all three of UW's albums are completely different styles. Bad UW track: Puppies. Fucking awful! Fave UW remix: Deep Pan Album No. 4 is supposed to be out soon (that means in the next 12 months with UW) till then... www.underworldlive.com for live mp3s and stuff. Everything's only up for a week tho and is supposed to be archived at www.dirty.org which seems to have halted to a standstill. Last archived on 25/5/01. Ok, I'll shuddup. |

no, they didn't break up. Darren Emerson left UW in April 2000 to concentrate on DJing. The only track they've recorded since his departure is 8-ball (on The Beach soundtrack). In fact he was still officially in the band at the time, but didn't contribute to the track. Biro The Leggy is a rumoured track title. |

dunno why people said the live album sucked...there was so much fucking energy in it,so what if they left a couple of tracks out..it was worth it just for the version of Juanita... |

I liked Everything Everything very much too, dunno what's so bad about it. Haven't seen the DVD though.. There's also an 'alternative' Everything Everything live (double-) album by an Underworld internet community, which you can either trade or download for free (I think). A bunch of UW fans selected their favourite tracks from a load of live recordings, mastered them properly, and made a great album of it. More info once again at . |

id have to agree with phatbert on his opinions of albums etc... second toughest is one of my fav albums ever- it is simply beautiful dubnobass is still cool, but i dont like it as much as 2nd toughest beacoup fish, well lets just say i was very dissapointed. it had some good points, but, cmon, they could do WAY better. while i dont think everything everything sucked, it was a let down to me because i have a bunch of their live stuff and have seen them live, and EVERYthing live that i have of theirs (even the bootlegs with not that great sound quality) is WAY better than everything everything. hmmm i dont feel like describing all their other stuff so ill stop here. :P |

The only Underworld I'm really familiar with is stuff from dubnobasswithmyheadman, which I was actually very underwhelmed by. Not sure why...it just didn't seem as special as the hype (or my friends) made it out to be. Alex |

of course, Dubnobasswithmyheadman was released in 1993... I think in that time it must have been at least a bit revolutionary. Not that I think dubnobass... sounds dated by now though, still think it's a great album. |
