Free Music Notes for 1992-2002

Free Music Review: 1992-2002
Hit: 5 Stars

Dirty: Would later be remade as Dirty Giutar (and Dirty Epic). Personally I'm not quite feeling this one as much, perhaps because I've got the Dirty Epic version pounded into my brain.

MMM Skyscraper I Love You: The second single released by the trio as Underworld MK2 (following Mother Earth), and later appeared on their debut Dubnobasswitmyheadman album. 13 minutes long: my favourite part being when the chords from the beginning re-emerge at about the 8 minute mark.

Rez: This track was once available with Born Slippy.nuxx on the Second Toughest in the Infants double CD. A similar sounding song to Cowgirl, hence the two of 'em were combined on Underworld Live - Everything Everything.

Spikee: Another awesome early single by the trio, this is one of the group's most 'trance'-like tracks. If there's an Underworld fan without this track in their collection, pick up 1992-2002 immediately!

Dirty Epic: My personal favourite Underworld track, with some of my favourite Hyde lyrics too. On the Dubnobass CD, Dirty Epic fades into Cowgirl. Here, however, both tracks are separate.

Dark And Long (Dark Train): A trance remix of the opening track off Dubnobass. Personally I far prefer the dark and brooding original. This track is widely available on the Born Slippy.nuxx single and the Trainspotting Vol 2 soundtrack.

Cowgirl: A huge fan favourite, and with good reason. A unique classic. The 3rd selection from Underworld's fantastic debut album.

Born Slippy.nuxx: Y'all know this one. However this version is slightly different; the second half of the song is shorter than on the full version. I enjoyed hearing this version.

Pearls Girl: The only selection from my personal favourite Underworld album, Second Toughest In The Infants. Contains the unmistakable 'circling helicopter' intro. I would've liked to have seen Rowla or Cherry Pie (from the Pearls Girl EP) included on this compilation as well.

Jumbo: A standout track from the Beaucoup Fish album, which is well represented in this collection.

Push Upstairs: This is a slightly longer version of the B. Fish album track. It contains the 'missing' verse which was included on the Push Downstairs track, plus a longer intro, etc. To me, Push Upstairs sounds more natural in this form.

Moaner: This track appeared on the Batman & Robin soundtrack, and then a year later on Beaucoup Fish, with the last 3 minutes chopped off. Included on 1992-2002 is the long version.

Shudder/King of Snake: The 4th cut taken from Beaucoup Fish. Still, get the album, its good!

8Ball: Appeared on The Beach soundtrack in 2000. A really underrated track in my opinion. I love the climax! (Feel happy)

Two Months Off: Represents Underworld's latest album, 100 Days Off, released by Hyde and Smith as two-piece. The album's disappointing by Underworld's own standards, but this track's pretty good.

1992-2002 Poster

Underworld 1992-2002 is not the full story. Underworld's back catalogue is too vast and rich for that, but it's a gripping one all the same, marking each step along the twisting road from (to paraphrase the Clash) Romford to the world. If Underworld's music has ever chimed with a moment in your life, these are good memories. The best.
