all the diff. versions of this song by Underworld are good. Telematic/Jamscraper/MmmSkyJam etc. Underworld played a new song on Dirty radio last week called Always Loved a Film and it's massive. Someone at dirty.org has cleaned it up and posted the mp3. I've got very high hopes about the next album.

Wonderful song. PLus it's probably my favourite song title too. Irecently submitted a photo into this contest with the name "MMM Skyscraper I Love You" translated in German.

Not that classic. "Dark And Long" and "Dirty Epic" are both classic though - particularly the latter.

"mmm skyscraper i love you" stomps all over "Dark and Long", regardless of version.

"Dirty Epic" is king, though; you're right on that one.

i'll take the "thing in a book mix" of D&L above everything else they have done.

Thirding the ownage of "Dirty Epic," which is probably my second favorite Underworld track, the first being "Jumbo."

"dirty epic" is indeed wonderful, though i am often torn between the original and the dirty guitar mix.

much like "dark train" and "dark and long" actually.

The songs on that "single" aren't really versions of "Dark and Long", although it would appear that way according to the credits. Anyhow, nearly everything on that single owns "Dirty Epic", which in turn owns "Mmm Skyscraper".

Depending on what day it is, my all-time favorite Underworld track is either "Born Slippy (Original)", "Dirty Epic", "Rowla", "Pearl's Girl", "Kittens", "King of Snake", "Twist" or "Luetin".

Thank you for that mental image Mr. Snrub!

"Cowgirl" is great but I like every song I've mentioned more (and anyway any time I get the urge to hear "Cowgirl" I realize that I really want to hear "Rez" or any live version of "Rez/Cowgirl" that I've scrounged from the Internet).

"....i see porn dogs sniffing the wind sniffing the wind sniffing the wind for something violent...." is my favourite bit in Mmm, SILU

also "will you be my big plaything" and "my ninja power / my number cruncher"

all of dubnobass.... rules over everything else they've done since.

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Sunday, 17 April 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

dubnobass... is really excellent but I still think their most consistent outing is Beaucoup Fish, even if I don't like "Bruce Lee" and I think "Jumbo" isn't as great as everyone else does; if "Kittens", "Moaner" and "King Of Snake" were on dubnobasss... (along with selected tracks from A Hundred Days Off), that would possibly be the greatest album of all time.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 17 April 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I like "Beauc" best.
