Underworld - "Cups" (live)

I'm referring to the _Everything, Everything_ version, of course; brutal synth-stomps over a relentless jackhammer beat and a queasy bass line for three exquisitely punishing minutes. I'm sitting here at work with my headphones on and I want to leap on the desk and kick in my monitor. This beat DEMANDS moshing, IMO, and they do the amazing trick of using the propulsion to improve "Push Upstairs" to the point where I want to listen to it. (I can even deal with "Push Upstairs" on its own now thanks to the "Cups" association.)

Is there a longer version of this full-on assualt version somewhere? The album version is pretty and all, but if I want to hear deep house I'll turn to someone besides Underworld, thanks.

Dan, you NEED to hear Malixx ft John Watts End (Marco Zaffarano Remix), around 3:00m it's just like that Cups version with almost the same style of synth stabs and it's even more relentlessly "moshable"!

I will absolutely look for that as it sounds like face-kicking heaven on Earth.
