Today I walkedinto my local record store to be greeted by something new from underworld,.. at first glance it looked like a "best of" and I thought ot myself "this'll probably be crap" and then I proceeded to look at the track listing,.. and to my astonishment, they've included all of the rarites, originals, and other stuff you'd otherwise not be able to get,.
there's artwork (poster) on the inside (on both cd and vinyl,.. but the vinyl one is poster size >:) )
and the artwork is some of the best stuff I've seen come from tomato art in a long long long time
the album starts out with some tracks from when they were using the alter ego "lemon heads" (a name they used in the transitional phase form underworld mk1 (old 80's synth pop) to underworld mk2 (smith/hyde/emerrson)) the starter track opens with some "harmonica electro" and then goes into the early version track "dirty" which features some notable samples fomr both "dirty epic" and "dark and long"
and then quickly rolls into some more familiar tracks, soon after is spikee,.. which I think is one of the greatest and original underworld tracks ever made,.. and is worth buying the record for alone
the rest of the album is a well selected best of, although later into it they slapped in "8 ball" another previously hard to come by track,.. and another great song you would otherwise never hear
this album is the perfect introduction to get anyone into underworld,.. and a gem for any underworld fan,.. I have the artwork up on my wall at the moment,.. and it looks so good it's making everything look ugly

i'd always thought they called themselves Lemon Interrupt and not "lemon heads"

It's a good collection, and I've bought it if I didn't already have all but the last two tracks. I'd have liked to see a comp with their remixes on, especially the vinyl-only ones.
And grm is right, they were Lemon Interrupt. I also spotted a double-part Born Slippy nuxx ep today. The words "milking" and "it" sprang to mind. I already have the original single and the double part second edition. I think I'll pass on a third.

All my mates say, "Oh look Underworld! You like them don't you?"
And I say "Where did you get that idea?" And they say "Well, it's underground electronic music." And I say "WHATTHEFUCKAREYOUTALKINGABOUT!"
They are a good overground techno band, but they're limited. I can't help feeling like they've reached about twelve dead ends.
