Today I'm listening to... (part 2)

Just finished Rush - Moving Pictures and now following with Wu-Tang Clan - Wu Tang Forever.
@reid: for electronic music Underworld are easily among my top5 producers. Their first few synthpop albums in the 80s don't hit me at all but ever since Darren Emerson joined the project in the early 90s the quality has been something totally different.
This goes especially for Dubnobasswithmyheadman and its two follow-ups, Second Toughest In The Infants and Beaucoup Fish which all are amazing albums featuring many great singles and even better b-sides with often rather random sounding lyrics. Unfortunate for Underworld, after Emerson left to do other things in 2000 they haven't reached the same quality with the later albums anymore even if A Hundred Days Off is a decent album and a must have for their fans. It's their most recent releases which are truly disappointing no matter how much the remixers have tried to save the single tracks.

You did it again Grimmy... I'm again amazed of your knowledge.
Thanks for the tip Reid. I've had that album for ages but haven't really give it a chance. So I listened it today and it was really good.
And so is Moving Pictures and Wu Forever.

Haha!
If you like Underworld's Dubnobass..... album, you'll surely like many of the b-side tracks off the singles and EPs of that album. Some of them extend beyond 20 minutes. I'll introduce them to you one day.
The epic 11-minute instrumental piece Dirty is probably my fav Underworld track. It's the original version on which the album track Dirty Epic was based on. Originally released as Lemon Interupt - Dirty in '92 and after the response for the album was huge, they released it again in '94 under their Underworld guise with 2 alternative reworks, the aforementioned Dirty Epic and Dirty Guitar which features different lyrics and surprisingly, some additional guitar bits.
The best Underworld tracks and remixes are so timeless pieces of work you (in general) can easily use them in DJ sets today if you dare to wander beyond the latest hits every damn DJ is playing. Of course, if you're just a lame hipster playing only supposedly cool tracks, you don't.

Love your style G!
It's one of the best feelings in a club when you get the rush hearing some old classic or some not so well known track and right after that you can see all those poor hipster crawling away from the floor because they don't know what's cooking!
Pure joy that you get from good music with a little twist of malicious delight

When i was still actively DJing i often played much older tracks among the more recent ones and most of the time people were asking me what those tracks were as they apparently were unheard of/brand new to many. Most of the older tracks weren't classics either which is why they probably weren't recognized unlike if they'd been some commonly known old classics. The faces of some of the questioners were hilarious after i told what and how old some of the tracks actually were and when they were first believed to be something brand new....
