Thanks, man! I enjoyed mixing this side of UW.
Cheers, Bang for re-upping.

I am too very fond of this mix. Sometimes after a tough early morning shift of taking the Darktrain to beautiful Birmingham New Street (It aint!) I need a lie down and stick this mix on,but................ Biro The Leggy has beats! Whats the reason for adding this Holden?

Yeah, i just relistened to the mix and remembered that i kept in the beats from that version of "Biro the Leggy" - i didn't add any production, those were in the radio broadcast version. I guess it does sort of take the mix out of the ambient realm for a bit. If memory serves, that version was played during a year-end dirtyradio show, and it always feels very "cold and wintery" to me, much more so than the OWB version as "Beautiful Burnout".

I actually love that these beats happen (I didn't know if this was one mix - which it is - or 3 different ones) but it worked for me, giving the overall mix a nice shape; stops it becoming predictable!
Anyway, i think "Biro" is fab; i always loved Beautiful Burnout in it's album version and the other remix they did (the upbeat one that was on underworldlive - is that the same as the "R59 live mix"?) So was "Biro" only ever available through a radio show? If it doesn't break any of the rules of this site, could some kind person point me in the direction of where i could find a copy? (It doesn't appear to be on the RTSR tracker...)
Sorry to be so demanding, but it is a wonderful piece of music, i had to ask...

Many thanks for those responsible for the ambient mix by avid (the mixing and the downloading). Have just plonked it onto my usb stick (I have to use my local library for the internet nowadays). Hopefully it will be in pride of place on the iPod when I get home.

[QUOTE=combustible pants;119280]ive always been a fan of underworlds quieter/ambient moments...theyve done some fantastic stuff over the years...ie second hand,best mamgu,cherry pie,sunshine ost

Yes I love their ambient stuff.....some of my favourites:

1. Banstyle/Sappys curry
2. sola sistim
3. pizza for eggs
4. ....big sister....
5. like a swimmer

They should do a whole album 'best of ambient uw'.....

In my opinion Showlder is their best ambient track. Should've been the nine-minute one, not Wedge.

Sorry for digging this thread up but I noticed that some essential ambient tracks have not been mentioned.

The obvious ones are:

• Tomato Antirom (5 tracks)
• Unreleased collection of tracks that used to be available on the website and commonly referred as "Underworldlive.com" tracks (e.g: Man Loop)

Also, for those who didn't know, the "Van Halen Van Halen" track was released on the Bungalow with Stairs 1 from Rick. ( , funny story)

More difficult to find are:

• "Bonus" tracks available on the website in the summer of 2007 known as Fonestrap (ver. 1 to 5), Autotrader (ver. 1 to 3) [which became later Phonestrap 6 / Autotrader 4] Bboybgirl, Shark Arp, Calonlan (more info) -> would be lovely if someone could share those!
• Ambient bits from the Wordimagesoundplay PS2 experimental game were uploaded here as Auto-Advice2, Grape, Movie. ( )
