why don't you poll me I feel like flying to... the UNDERWORLD Poll Results thread -- produced by Smith & Hyde for ILM Artist Poll #102

Cruel, cruel math

this is one of the ones that just gets lost in the shuffle for me (aside from the incredible sort-of title track) but thats prob on me

fun fact: this album cover makes a cameo in, of all movies, EUROTRIP

I guess scotty doesn't know......... ABOUT ALL THE OTHER GREAT RECORDS IN THEIR CATALOGUE

It was just the newest at the time. The math works.

What's the version in your head like?

ALAF with the groovy bassline, You Do Scribble with vocals, Diamond Jigsaw with the synth, and the original Moon in Water

Barking (Mad Version)

nice!

& Strumpet instead of Bird 1. Bird 1 is good, but it's not as good as Strumpet live was.

everything everything too low

agreed

Aren't # of #1's usually indicated? You got hacked, Will!

It's fantastic but it's still a live album... I couldn't put it ahead of much of any original material.

from here it gets really interesting!

expected but too low!!!!

practically a reunion album, the start of this phase. The joy of it. Love all of it.

LOVE Barbara Barbara, I exhale is humongous

practically a reunion album, the start of this phase. The joy of it.

Yes, I've noticed that they talked about it like that - though they'd been working on lots of projects that came out of the Underworld office, and played live still*, this was the first time they'd either made music together or been good friends in six years. And the floodgates opened!

* though in Karl's new preferred festival-format shows

Any speculation about what's going to place in the top five?

well no

I don't like guessing out loud, to me it's like ppl saying "he's the killer" halfway thru a whodunit movie. Like cool you're clever but just let it ~unfold~

Also I have no idea how they'll land lol

unfortunately this is highly untrue

Liner notes from Beaucoup Fish sampler

Trevor Morais: All the hitting things done in a live, loose and sexy way not dissimilar to drumming but better.

finally some weird controps

I had to google the quote to figure out how it was meant to back up your point. So that's Trevor's credit on the album. I found an old article saying he played with Underworld live and in studio. News to me. Anyway not sure I'm following here. They're great at all of it
