the We Love Underworld thread

[Enjoyed]

I'm still waiting on a reply when you get a chance 

[ThePumisher]

Going to see them on August 28th here in Cologne 

[Wolkenkrabber]

Underworld were just on the short half-hour version of Later with Jools Holland on BBC2. The full hour long version will be on Friday night. I imagine they will play 3 to 4 songs on that.
I only caught the last song which was a short version of Born Slippy. Karl looked like a demented boxer: evil grin, sparring for a fight, bouncing up and down.
I don't know what else they did tonight (Edit: just If Rah). Must remember to check on Friday night or catch up on the BBC iplayer.

[Enjoyed]

I stupidly went for a run half an hour before it began and completely forgot until my phone shouted at me mid sweat.
I'll check out the full show on Friday!

If a Mr T Rowlands agreed to this we would have our replies by now!
Underworld are talking to The Guardian in a live webchat tomorrow. You can send them a question today. Go HERE. Make it a good one.

[WhiteNoise]

^Really enjoying reading the replies. I wasn't able to ask anything, I feel as though I missed out but in this case I can't think of much to ask!

[Wolkenkrabber]

He's funny and enthusiastic, and even thanks everyone for the questions at the end. If you read the original questions in the comments at the bottom, there are some additional answers from Karl.
He didn't answer my question though.

Might be of interest to some:
If Rah remixes

[Enjoyed]

I want to hear the Matthew Herbert dub.

And the M.A.N.D.Y. remix of Nylon Strung.

Japan only though, it seems...

[Wolkenkrabber]

Ah yes the Japan only "Shining Future remixes EP".
You can hear a bit of that MANDY remix HERE (and the Herbert dub)

Oh also, if you want to -sort of- find out what If Rah and Ova Nova mean, listen to Karl on 6 Music HERE from about 35 mins.

[Wolkenkrabber]

I suspect I'd get a negative response if i were to say this on Underworld's forum but...

This track

reminds me of this track

Bye now.

[Enjoyed]

Ha. I can hear the similarity with the melody.
They're both treats.

But only one was produced by Rick Smith...

[WhiteNoise]

Similar key and progression too.

Looks like we're only missing the Nylon Strung remix...

Listen to a bit of the Eagles & Butterflies remix of Nylon Strung HERE from 1:17:30 to about 1:22:18.

[Wolkenkrabber]

Sometimes, when I listen to this track between 10.30 and 11.30...

...it reminds me of this track

[MadPooter]

They do sound similar. Good ear.

[WhiteNoise]

Cool.

That's because they're both taking a buzzy "formant" synth line, sending it through a very resonant filter, and tweaking the cutoff frequency here and there.

If you, uh, wanted to know.

Well alright then!
In other news, here's a video for Nylon Strung.

And depending on your territory, here's a soundcloud for the MANDY remix

No sign of the full Eagles & Butterflies mix yet. I think it's better than the MANDY mix though.
