"Ramajama" on the deluxe edition is revving me up lately. ― Eric H., Tuesday, August 29, 2017 6:12 AM

Such an underrated record. Gem!
This is SO awesome. They played this at several live concerts, usually before "King of Snake" (hence its former title before we knew the real name, "King of Snake Part 1")

Oh shit I just remembered the insane 20 minute KoS they did in 99, fucking awesome
― frogbs, Saturday, 6 June 2020 21:47 (four years ago) link
Btw one song I always kinda liked from UtR is “I Need a Doctor” which has the hilarious line “in the city...life is shitty...that’s a fact!!!”

Ramajama first of mine to show up and maybe the only completely new thing to me listening as part of the ballot process. It's a hit!
S T A R was quite entertaining the first time I heard it but has no replay value

Preview of the last track sounds awesome, I believe that’s the Lenny Penne beat ― frogbs, Thursday, September 12, 2019 9:33 AM
early form as Lenny Penne, here in a different recording from the one on Pizza For Eggs
I like how they list the decibels for each track :-) ― StanM, Saturday, November 23, 2019 6:39 PM lol assuming they're BPMs which means STAR is in happy hardcore territory ― groovypanda, Saturday, November 23, 2019 6:41 PM

― an, uh, razor of love (sic), Saturday, 6 June 2020 23:16 (four years ago) link
the lyrics get pretty goofy but i think this one grows on me more every time i hear it. It's really Lenne Penne with its priorities straight.

7 votes? damn
Story checks out.
..."doscientos " which is prob my favorite of the new new tracks ― BradNelson, Thursday, November 7, 2019 11:08 AM
Wonderfully hypnotic. I'd say this is like part of the soundtrack to a mesmerising movie, except it's more like the soundtrack and the movie in one.

LOVING this poll so far. Great job. The live "Underneath the Radar" video linked above with all those letters on Karl's guitar is an absolute scream.
― Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 7 June 2020 13:01 (four years ago) link
I voted for this one. I put one box/non-single track ahead of it, i wonder if we'll see that one. 7 voters is probably not far from the number who have listened to the entire box?

Votes for different versions of Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You have been combined in this poll. However, if every title voted on were tallied separately, then Jam Scraper would have appeared at #102. With 167 points from 4 votes, though, lets acknowledge it here. audio

If we are acknowledging Jam Scraper, does that mean that it got more votes than Telegraph 6.11.92? In which case humpfh.
― Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 7 June 2020 21:45 (four years ago) link
Puppies is one of those tracks that sounds like nothing else they’ve ever done, it’s floaty underwater magic
― frogbs, Sunday, 7 June 2020 21:51 (four years ago) link
jam scraper rules i voted for it
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 7 June 2020 21:52 (four years ago) link
I can actually remember the first time I heard it. I think I downloaded it from Kazaa and thought it was like a sequel to Kittens. Still can recall how weird it made me feel the first time I heard it

Love that the first 3 seconds has a hard kick drum that's immediately abandoned.

Let's acknowledge the adorable aptness of nashwan's image for Puppies, too.
― an, uh, razor of love (sic), Sunday, 7 June 2020 22:56 (four years ago) link
I honestly find it surprising that they went with the 1994 version instead of the later 1996 album version of this piece

what's this about 94 and 96?

I dunno tbh, when there aren't any sourced quotes from ILX I've grabbed some comments from youtube or elsewhere, and I wondered if someone here would be prompted by that!
― an, uh, razor of love (sic), Monday, 8 June 2020 01:14 (four years ago) link
oh it's about Puppies? No idea.

Puppies into Mosaic = their most unsettling two track run

heebies & jeebies. Wonder if we'll see Mosaic here

Puppies is great, very interesting sounds. The Pearls Girl US CD was another release I really underrated

yeah I really think this is brilliant

oh nice
another strange one-off. you'd never know it was Underworld. though maybe the piano underpinning gives it away.

morning y'all
I'm sure I've posted this in at least one UW thread but every time this comes up on shuffle I'm always struck by how much it sounds like early 90s Underworld

"ancient phat farm coat" ended up being really high on my ballot
prob my favorite ambient(???) underworld track ever at this point
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 8 June 2020 13:19 (four years ago) link
also confirm or deny that they exported the piano from this track onto "best mamgu ever"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Monday, 8 June 2020 13:21 (four years ago) link
frogbs: Makes me think of 2002 b-side "Headset".
― maf you one two (maffew12), Monday, 8 June 2020 14:06 (four years ago) link
i somehow spaced on the long Farm Coat til this morning. Beauty. I'd only known the 8-minute "short excerpt" all this time :)
yeah sounds the same as the Mamgu piano to me
― maf you one two (maffew12), Monday, 8 June 2020 14:08 (four years ago) link
oh yeah I forgot about that one entirely
also reminds me of Freur's "Alabaster White Thing"
― frogbs, Monday, 8 June 2020 14:08 (four years ago) link
Yes. I'm now hearing that for the first time. Neat.
