How right you are. My favourite UW track. Most of the time.

Dirty Epic was the first Underworld song I had ever heard.
I bought the 'Wax Trax Afterburn: 94 & Beyond' sampler disc 2 days before Christmas 1994. I bought it for Die Warzau, Chris Connelly & KMFDM.
But when I heard Dirty Epic, I forgot that there were other songs on the disc. I fell in love with it instantly. I went and got dubnobass the day after Christmas.
I have been a fan ever since. But with all the great tunes they have put out, Dirty Epic is still my favorite.

...My introduction to UW, I quickly bought my own copy and it became the soundtrack to the summer of '94 and collecting started shortly afterwards.

This was my first foray into early (ie pre-NUXX) Underworld, I remember asking my dad for an extra couple of quid to buy it in Virgin Megastore in Leicester. The first two tracks I remember rambling on a bit and I got a little disappointed, but then the original version came on and I was captivated.
I stopped listening to Underworld for a couple of years after AHDO, and it was only when Dirty Epic came on randomly on my mp3 player that I remembered how good the track was - and lo, they became regulars on my CD player once again. Staggering track, and one I play to people who aren't fans of electronic music if explaining why Underworld are so great (along with Phonestrap 1, but that's another story).

Dubnobass's volume problem is very tedious when listening to it on headphones walking along a busy main road, I discovered this afternoon.

Dirty Epic is still fucking awesome.

Dubno jap 2cd is not worth £65, its still £11.99 on Amazon.co.jp for a start, and others.

Wasn't there a longer version of DE on the promos (german/argentinian?) of 1992-2002?

Save yourself the trouble of buying the Jap release by putting your Dubno through ReplayGain, or or if you want to do it the long way, use CDex to rip it to wav and add +3dB with Wavosaur. You can then add as much gain as you want and see in detail if theres any clipping.

Vectorman0: The versions of Why Why Why on the Volume compilations are shorter than the Jap bonus CD. The version on the bonus cd is from the flip side of the Pink Rez 12"....and its also awesome.

I use awesome in the american sense. I dont really think that Dirty Epic is full of AWE....but its a great track

Nope, that was a slightly longer version of Dirty. There's only ever been one version of Dirty Epic.
