Stereogum: The 10 Best Underworld Songs

[ultradave]

Making a top 10 for Underworld is nearly impossible... but if I had to...

1. Dirty Epic
2. Born Slippy .NUXX (I know, I know...)
3. Banstyle/Sappys Curry
4. Parc
5. Nylon Strung
6. Between Stars
7. Two Months Off
8. Pearls Girl
9. Peach Tree / Riverrun - I'm a Big Sister...
10. Mother Earth (FM Mix)

These are the tracks that I usually repeat. ALAF, Dark Train, Jam Scraper, Beautiful Burnout, Luetin, Cups, King of Snake (Rick's Bungalow Mix)... Come on! Too many great tracks to narrow it down to 10. I'm not even sure I'm totally sure what my top 10 would be... lol!

i find it easier to list the songs I skip on a regular basis:

In no particular order:

1) I Exhale
2) Ess Gee
3) Cuddle Bunny
4) Simple Peal
5) Between Stars
6) Surfboy
7) Boy, Boy, Boy

Ahhh...

I've checked and this is the version of Rez my missus has been banging on about for literally years, so now I finally know what she means by "the extra bleepy spacey Rez Underworld did live in the late 90's"...

Cheers for posting.

I love this version. I've always called it the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" version.

You'll only know why if you've seen the movie...

Ah back when they improvised... sigh.

[Total Longo]

It changes by the week, but i would say in the current top 10 are...

10) Thing in a Box
9) Sola Sistim
8) Nylon Strung
7) Air Towel Jam
6) Peach Tree
5) 8 Ball
4) Eclipse
3) Jumbo
2) Dark & Long (Dark Train)
1) Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love

Not a fan of Born Slippy.NUXX at all, except in a live situation.

[River of Bass]

In no particular order:
(is this a gig?)

Globe (pre-Holding the Moth)
Dark & Long
Rubber Ball
Push Upstairs
Dirty Epic
Deep Pan
Faxed Invitation
Juanita:Kiteless:To Dream Of Love
Vanilla Monkey

I'd see that gig.

[jetpig]

1 Rez/cowgirl
2 Luetin (preferably peel rendition)
3 Jumbo
4 Dark Train
5 Thing in a Book
6 Banstyle/sappys (really just vinyl side 1 of STitI...)
7 Glam Bucket
8 ALAF or Scribble
9 Pizza For Eggs
10 Good Day Today 'remix'

ten isn't enough spots... glaring omissions of one of the Dirty renditions and spikee and Olympics and I've STILL not listened to the new album yet...
