I remember reading that Underworld was still tied to the old band and label and they wanted to get some new stuff out so they used 'Lemon Interupt' as a name - but i might be misremembering

OK I have put up all 10 tracks from the dat compilation that I have, here is the tracklisting:

Dirty Epic 9:58
Jamscraper 8:57
Big Meat Show 6:51
MMM Skyscraper I Love You 13:01
Organ 6:22
River Of Bass 9:09
Dark And Long 7:30
Dirty Fuzz 9:55
Can U Feel Me 4:30
Goodbye Mother Earth 7:08

This is the original running order and names of songs as they appeared on the original hand written dat. I have used the timings for the songs that were assigned by the CD ripper, keep in mind that timings will always vary depending on how they are calculated (i.e. usually they are timed until the start of the next song ID which is incorrect) I am looking forward to hearing your comments on these. I truly believe that they are no different than the released versions (with the exception of ROB) but I will leave that up to your discerning ears to let me know. Oh, and Can U Feel Me being a very Prince like spelling of you, I always thought that came from the time Karl spent playing on the Terry Nunn album at Paisley Park in 1992. Of course I'm just guessing.
Cheers

that could be true... I mean - there is a definite 'similarity' between later Underworld MK1 and that overall Prince 'vibe'/'sound'

like it's sorta pop-y sorta 'electronic' but still live rock/guitar sounds

[mmm skyscraper]

from the other thread:

'Can U Feel Me' has the same part as 'Vocoder Monks'

'a hole in the back of the sun' = runout groove on The Hump

'Can you feel me, like I feel you/Can you hold me in your dreams'
is also in Mother Earth although heavily computerized.

[BrotherLovesDub]

can't get enough of the groove of 'big meat show'. loving the song despite the lyrics. karl has/had a thing for waitresses, that much is clear

the channel 69 lyric amidst strong sexual imagery reminds me of dirty epic's sleezy channel 6.

i can imagine if this song had originally been included on the album, the lyrics would have been universally panned and loads of people (probably me) would need to 'overcome' them to really love the track. i am a new order fan so coming to terms with the most awful lyrics is something i'm equipped to handle.

i'm tempted to try to edit this down to a 4 minute instrumental tho. anybody want to give it a shot?

[TheBang]

Just at a casual listen-through, I didn't hear any differences except the extended "River of Bass", and the lack of mixing on tracks that are mixed in the album.

Edit: So, I listened to River of Bass, and the extended version diverges from the album version at the 5:35 mark.

[gambit]

What. The. Holy. Fuck.

Where the hell did these come from? Just been listening to them, and wow, they're very good. Probably wouldn't have worked on the album, but why weren't they released on singles? I know all artists produce a ton of music that never make it to the album or singles, and that's because they suck, but these don't. They're better than most of the b-sides from this era. Where were they all my life?!?!? Now can we get some unreleased tracks from Second Toughest in the Infants, please?!

Should we call this compilation Duballbasswithoutyourheadman??

THANKS DECKARD AND NEGATIVE1!!!!

This is amazing news - to think these tracks have been locked up for soooo long.

Surely, these must have been leaked by UW themselves - how else would these tracks have become available now?
I wonder if Karl or Rick might shed some light on this via UWlive.com? Would be great to get some official word on this.

Can someone get in touch with rtsr info - I was registered a few years back but lost the details, registered again yesterday, but God knows how long I might have to wait.
