I love Underworld. I love them more than BoC.
Who else likes them? I think their discography is near flawless.

Some favorite tracks:
MMM, Skyscraper I Love You
Banstyle/Sappy's Curry
Dirty Epic
River of Bass
Tongue
Jumbo
Stagger
Dark and Long

Their long journey-like tracks just take me to strange places that can't be tied to reality. It's something you have to experience by listening.

Not listened to them much, where should I start?

The album Dubnobasswithmyheadman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubnobasswithmyheadman
It's their first album (in Underworld's current form).
Excellent to the very last drop.
I guarantee that you'll get absolutely lost in that album.

I hold Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Beaucoup Fish dear to my heart : )

I think I've heard some of their stuff, they appear in Trainspotting's OST am I right? Aren't these guys more into dance music or something like that?

I'll be listening to Dubnobasswithmyheadman as soon as possible, thanks for recommendation

i remember blasting Beaucoup Fish in the blazing summer on my way to work downtown every day a long way back

good times

Can't believe there isn't already an Underworld thread....

My favorite album has got to be A Hundred Days Off, as it's the first Underworld album I bought. Dinosaur Adventure 3D is a monster of a song.

^
I was surprised that I had to make a thread about them.

Dinosaur Adventure 3D is also one of my favorites.

To anyone who wants to get into Underworld, just go through their discography in order one-at-a-time.

Also, little tidbit: Anyone heard of Freur? This is the (3rd I think?) phase of that band.

2nd Toughest In The Infants is one of my all time favourite albums. Listen to that with headphones on and all your worries will vanish as it sends you into a different world

When you guys give it a listen, let me know what you thought!

Hell yes Underworld! Those two have been going strong for a looong time. Its amazing how theyve changed into what they are now. Underneath the Radar is one of my favorites by far. I think i first heard Underworld when i watched The Beach. Danny Boyle loves Underworld. I love King of Snake.

I liked them back when they were Fruer actually.

this definitely stands as one of the classics of my youth.

Perfection:
(They need more tracks like this).

Ha I was gonna post that one... Love Sola Sistim.

Liking two albums just now, dubnobassinmyheadman and the one after that... love the tune, pearlgirl (or something like that?)

I think Second Toughest and Beaucoupe Fish are my favorites. I remember Freur from my teen days and used to feel all snooty whenever I'd bring them up in an Underworld conversation

Ah yeah! Pearl's Girl is awesome. I think my most played album by them is the live album 'Everything Everything'. Memories of some amazing nights with friends dancing and flying the most incredible interactive lights/visuals.

There are a few bands that just either disappeared and changed names like fruer/underworld or just kept the name and just totally changed styles like Ministry. I think Talk Talk was remarkable all the way through though their style changed considerably. Man those guys were extremely talented musicians. The keyboardist Tim Friese Green just blows my mind.

"Between Stars" is a great track off of "Barking", their latest album.

I never thought any dance could be this good.
