lol unkle poll

fair AND balanced

Radiohead joint

except for the shitty mike d joint and the kool g rap banger, any guest vocals on this were like all goth tendencies of the artists bumped up +2000%

we used to think this was some brave aesthetic and bump it in the car on the way to get lunch, which makes no sense when you realize how this is horrible driving music

apparently later copies of this had "be there", a.k.a. stone roses joint, attached to the end. I think the beats were the same as unreal

Didn't this album introduce the world to Badly Drawn Boy? Good work guys.

yeah, it was "unreal" + vocals

man i loved this back in...uh, eighth grade i guess that was

"Nursery Rhyme/Breather"

IF YOU WANNA CROSS THE DON KISS THE RING AND KNEEL

man, I need to lure my friend who has pretty much every mo'wax release on here so we can do a pre-psyence fiction unkle poll. japanese dudes and semi-acid jazz! I remember wondering a few years ago why Pharrell was turning into James Lavelle with the weird japanese collabo stuff and Nigo pimping

i love the guitar on 'title theme' = pedal steel? wanna vote that, the electro one or 'chaos'

oh also:

The Ian Brown one is the best thing they did, but that's not on the album, is it?

man wtf i never heard that its str8 garbage

the instrumental >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> stone roses dude wailing on it

that clip cuts off, here's the longer one with the spooky ending: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X3VDibA6HCQ

james lavelle's take on vocalists is like EPIC GOTH vocals, I can just imagine him hassling his producer du jour to add more reverb

should've just added more Boba Fett samples instead of Brownie

I was really just waiting for an unkle album that was just a re-edited 45 minute version of the blade runner end credits, but it never happened

I think this album (and to a lesser degree Dr. Octagon) was the exact moment where my halfhearted interest in DJ Shadow-type techno rap soured and I was like fuck this shit, just straight up rap and occasional d'n'b for me. I might've been into a couple tracks but I can't remember which ones now.

Who does the voice over on that Ball Buster commercial? Is it Orson Welles?

keep the block hotter than jalapeños

Gotta be the theme song or Celestial Annihilation, the vocals on this album pretty much suck except for Kool G Rap.

I love the "bittersweet symphony part 2" song.

I think this album...was the exact moment where my halfhearted interest in DJ Shadow-type techno rap soured

For me it was exactly the same, but it was a great ride while it lasted.

why would you do this

I'd never heard the Brown-ized "Unreal" until today. IT SUCKS

I actually really like the shitty guitar/bass loop in Bloodstain.

I enjoy UNKLE more when I pretend that it was an extra-curricular project by some band students.

this is dope actually http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkRmRZWczhA

God DAMN that break in "Unreal"/"Be There" is hot.

kool g rap banger takes it, but the Badly Drawn Boy track was actually pretty good

james lavelle's take on vocalists is like EPIC GOTH vocals, I can just imagine him hassling his producer du jour to add more reverb

the live version of UNKLE was total wall of DOOM DOOM DOOMY GUITARS, like a cross between Josh Homme du jour and the worst Sisters Of Mercy cover band ever

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Lonely Souls doesn't sound like Bittersweet Symphony.

And I still like "Be There" because I heard this version 1st. I remember watching the video for this and "Rabbit" for the 1st time on 120 minutes and being pretty blown away.

i really like this album.

also, i have pretty much every mo'wax record.

what was the case against this album, again?

i'm trying to decide between:

kool g rap banger / bittersweet symphony pt 2 / shitty mike d joint / chaos / radiohead joint

I'm going for bittersweet pt 2 as I heard it on an advert recently and thought "oh yeah that was when you could like Mo'wax in public"

the video for rabbit >>>> all other Unkle things ever.

except perhaps the science fiction film soundtrack mix they did live at the ICA.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ten whole years!

shitty mike d joint 0

lol

dope fake newcleus

looks like I'm stuck re-discovering this album every dozen or so years.

the rabbit in your headlights video was directed by Jonathan Glazer!

and the song was remixed by david axelrod.*

(great album! i love 'lonely soul' however 'bittersweet symphony pt 2' made me giggle.)

*extreme sidebar: ashcroft shows up years later to sing on a rendition of 'holy are you' (originally by the electric prunes) for axe's live album. it's good, check it out!

great album, it’s really grown on me over the years
