they sound pretty... bad to me, aside from organ, which is okay. but had they been on the album, would these be familiar semi-classics instead?
hmm.
I think at worst, these songs would have been regarded as low points of the album, much like Push Downstairs, Air Towel, Ess Gee and other such unpopular album tracks. Every Underworld album comes with one or two non-classics, with the possible exception of Dubnobasswithmyheadman.

I suspect the guys knew what they had created and knew the strengths and weaknesses of each component, and put out the best possible collection of songs they could.
