Album Description

Underworld is one of the most highly anticipated genre films in over a decade. Lakeshore Record's soundtrack, which features exclusive songs and mixes (both in and inspired by the film), is an unparalleled collection of the best music the contemporary rock world has to offer.

The soundtrack album is produced by Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails whose unique relationships within the community of A-List talent brings such unprecedented highlights to this project as the first song ever penned by Maynard James Keenan (Tool / A Perfect Circle) for a motion picture and soundtrack album. Also appearing on the album is former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland who along with Lohner and Filter's Richard Patrick have created the formidable super group The Damning Well who make their debut on this album with the song "Awakening."

One look through the album's track listing and you'll find contributions from artists as diverse and respected as Trust Co., Finch, Skinny Puppy, Page Hamilton, and David Bowie to name a few. Every track on this album is either written exclusively for this project, or is an exclusive remix, or rare version only available on this release.

Underworld, both as a film and an album is a truly unique marrige of artistic sound and vision.

Album Description

Soundtrack album to the highly anticipated 2003 film, 'Underworld', features previously unreleased & exclusive tracks from Puscifer (feat. Maynard James Keenan & Danny Lohner), David Bowie (feat. Maynard James Keenan), Finch, Trust Company, Skinny Puppy, & the single 'Awakening' performed by The Damning Well (feat. Wes Borland, Richard Patrick (Filter), Danny Lohner, & Josh Freese). 15 tracks. Lakeshore.

underworld.......2007-06-23

I remember buying this the first day it came out, I was really curious to hear what the Damning Well and Puscifer would sound like, I was not displeased. I also really enjoyed the David Bowie track, overall this is an above average soundtrack, at least I though so.

One of the best soundtracks to a movie ever........2007-05-26

Usually I'm not big on soundtracks, but this is by far my favorite soundtrack ever. The whole album was produced by Danny Lohner, the second best person to be in Nine Inch Nails after Trent. The first song, Awakening by The Damning Well (Danny Lohner, Richard Patrick, Wes Borland) is my favorite song on there. It's just a classic hard rock song with very melodic vocals done brilliantly by Richard Patrick. The second song, REV 22:20 by Puscifer (Maynard James Keenan, Danny Lohner) is another one of my favorites on the album and it has the sentual type vibe to it with extra vocals by Milla. All of the songs are really good, and I'm not just saying that. The Page Hamilton song was also good. Hell, all of them are worth listening to. The album will be worth the amount of money you spend, I can tell you that. It has some great collaborations and thats what got me interested in it in the first place. That and the fact that I'm a huge Danny Lohner fan (and he did a great job with this, by the way). I highly recommend it!

Better than I thought..........2006-10-15

I bought this album because iTunes wouldn't let me download the Puscifer track unless I downloaded the entire album... the rest of the CD actually isn't all that bad.

It took me months to buy this because I bought Underworld Evolution for one track and the rest of the CD wasn't anything to climax about. Songs like "Rev 22:20", "Optimissed", "Bring Me The Head of the Disco King", "Awakening", and every Renholder track on this album make it worth buying. I'd mention the A Perfect Circle tracks, but I already had those so they weren't new. They're a nice addition, though.

I never watched the movie so I can't really say if the songs fit in with the theme and feel of the film.

This CD is definately better than its sister. If you're thinking about buying one or the other, go with this one first.

Typical rock soundtrack.......2006-08-12

This is a good -not great-rock soundtrack.It fits the movie.
OK if you like this sort of thing.

Pretty much sucks...BUT..........2006-08-11

I hated the movie and this soundtrack blows but hey, it's got the best Finch song ever released on it...so I say 4 star. Worms of the Earth baby.

best new band.......2007-03-12

this is the best new alternative rock band i have heard in a long time. their sound reminds me of earlier no doubt or the pretenders best tracks.

A fantastic indie band.......2007-01-17

For all of you who miss bands like The Primitives, Adult Net, The Darling Buds, Talulah Gosh and all late 80's/early 90's indie pop, welcome to Persephone's Bees. They take the best of what made late 80's/early 90's girl bands and step it up a notch to create something new that feels familiar in a wonderful way. I've played this album at least once a day since I purchased the CD, and it's already been about a month. You just don't get tired of it. It makes you want to get up and dance.

I personally can't wait to see what they do next.

Unexpected Bliss.......2007-01-05

This album was one I was extremely excited about getting, and it surpassed my expectations. From the first song to the last, there isn't one that I skip over. I would reccomend this album to anyone with an open mind and a love for fun music. I hope Persephone's Bees keeps on making music because this is a fantastic listen.

Blown away.......2007-01-04

This album really surprised me. Don't hesitate to rock your socks off with this one!

Notes from the Underworld.......2007-01-04

A very good album, I like the style a lot. Mixes a lot of different styles, maybe too many sometimes. Anyway, I do recommend this!

Album Description

"Underworld" and its accompanying soundtrack albums are perhaps the most thoughtful, valued and respected genre film soundtracks in the proud tradition of "The Matrix" and "The Crow."
As "Underworld: Evolution" continues the saga of the story, so does the new Soundtrack Album continue the tone set musically. On this new album is the exclusive debut solo recording from Chester Bennington, and a new exclusive recording by Puscifer. Chester Bennington is best known as the lead singer of iconic rock band Linkin Park. Likewise Pusicfer who contributed to the first "Underworld" album, is a new outlet for the highly respected, and commercially successful music genius Maynard James Keenan. Maynard is best known as the frontman of both Tool and A Perfect Circle. Also a contributing member of Puscifer is Danny Lohner, the famed former Nine Inch Nails guitarist who is also a sought out songwriter, producer and remixer.
Every song on the album is exclusive to this set at the time of release. In addition to those above are exclusive contributions from such varied and respected artists as My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, Meat Beat Manifesto, Cradle Of Filth as well as some the most exciting new emerging and critically acclaimed bands such as Atreyu, Hawthorn Heights, Senses Fail, Alkaline Trio, Aiden, Lacuna Coil, Trivium and more.
Many of these tracks proudly feature exclusive remixes by some of the most respected and sought after talents such as Danny Lohner, Chris Vrenna, cEvin Key and The Legion Of Doom. Both Danny Lohner and Chris Vrenna bring unique musical experience and sensibilities as former members of seminal rock band Nine Inch Nails. cEvin Key is the co-founder of Skinny Puppy and an established artist in his own right, remixing various artists of stature and releasing many solo albums under different titles. Jack Dangers new exclusive Meat Beat Manifesto song features the artists first use of vocal performance in over six years, which is a rare treat indeed for fans

Customer Reviews:

Underworld Evolution.......2007-06-23

This was something of a mediocre soundtrack, I thought. The only standout tracks for me were "The Undertaker" by Puscifer and Her Portrait In Black" by Atreyu, other than that, there is nothing special here. Overall, there is nothing memorable besides the two songs mentioned above, none of the other songs or remixes did anything for me, unless you really have to have any of the songs on here, I would recommend saving your money.

Fantastic!!!!Almost Perfect..........2006-11-03

This cd was great!I really enjoyed it.Most of the songs were perfect...and if not perfect they were very close.My favorite would have to be Undertaker(Renholder Remix) by Pusifer.
PS-Does anyone know which song played in the movie trailers?I really liked that one too.

This album was probably better than the movie...ha.......2006-09-03

When I first bought and listened to this album, I thought "hmmm, lots of 'emo-labeled' bands." That didn't stop me from enjoying this soundtrack though. I liked the first two songs on this soundtrack quite a bit at first, but they got pretty old.

However, I loved Hawthorne Heights's remixed "Where Can I Stab Myself In the Ears" (my friend loved it, too), Aiden's "Last Sunrise" (which had a lot of references to Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire), Lacuna Coil's "Our Truth" (have since became a fan of theirs), Atreyu's "Her Portrait is Black," and Cradle of Filth's "HW2"/"Halloween."

Oh, I also liked Trivium's "Washing Away Me In The Tides," Senses Fail's "Bite To Break Skin," and Slipknot's "Vermillion pt 2."

So, pretty much the producers took good songs and made them even better. I think I just named 8 of the 16 songs as being favorites, not to mention the other songs weren't bad. What does that say to you?

So, I guess that 4 is actually more like a 4.5.

OK,nothing more.......2006-08-09

This is an acceptable rock soundtrack.The songs are unmemorable,
but they suit the film.OK if you like this sort of thing.

@ Shawn.......2006-04-04

The track which was used in the romantik scenes, like the sexscene, is "Eternity And A Day" by Paul Haslinger.

One of the best mid-late 90s electronica compilation albums ever..........2006-08-25

This soundtrack is great.... it really helped me discover electronic music in general. Growing up in the midwest, no radio stations actually played techno, house, or anything electronic except for the horrible 'pop/dance' stuff on a few sad sad channels. I remember downloading Mp3s using hotline in 1997 or so, and I'd que a few to download, then listen the next day. I knew I liked electronic music, as it as used in movies pretty often, but it was just so hard to find! The internet changed this. This album represents some of the best bands from the time period (Prodigy, Underworld, Orbital, etc) doing tracks that are now CLASSICS of the genre. Aside from perfectly fitting the film's fantasy world of graphical hacking (which is weird), this album is perfect for doing almost any work involving electronics, programming, or anything with computers. Same goes for hte soundtrack to the movie "Pi". Just pop in either of these CDs, and dive into your latest project. ALMOST every track on this disc is just phenominal, 10 years later.

Looking for a song.......2006-07-10

What is the title of a song playing on the end titles/credits, just after "Heaven knows"? It's not specified in the subtitles and it isn't on the official soundtrack :/ Anybody knows?

Great soundtrack!.......2006-05-24

If you liked the movie, you'll love this cd. The music is uptempo and full of energy!

While I was very happy with this CD, I'd even say that I liked Hackers 2 and Hackers 3 even more! All three are a great addition to my collection.

Re:.......2006-05-11

The Name of that Track is Voodoo and its by Techno Legends, The Prodigy.

What is the name of the track that is playing while they are all in Grand Central Station in the pay phone booths??It starts out with keyboards and then the awesome guitar starts playing (I play guitar..kinda bias) I need to know the name of the track..or even the artist would help.. I WANT THAT TRACK!!!!!

Album Description

More than an anthology, Underworld's 1992-2002 'Best of' album includes unreleased tracks as well as some mixes available for the first time on CD. 16 re-mastered tracks from the original. Over two and a half hours of music.

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.

Customer Reviews:

Very strong collection........2005-08-06

Underworld...Well if you're reading this you are either a die-hard fan, or soon to be. '92-'02 is a wonderful album and great starter if you don't own an album yet. Plus, it's relatively cheap!
The straight talk is buy "Second Toughest in the Infants" as well-that is a 6 star album. Let these albums sink in slowly, they will stick with you forever. And play it loud.

Fans Should Venture Into This Underworld.......2004-01-20

Unless you have been following the English band's entire career since its formation in the early-90s, and through its radical transformation from rock to ambient trip-hop to intelligent dance music, and hence have every single they've ever made, `1992-2002''s variety of the band's stylistic trends should provide an enjoyable retrospective glance at Underworld's classics.
The highlights on Disc 1 are definitely the trippy 1994 hits `Mmm Skyscraper I Love You' (with otherworldly lyrics - `..and I see Elvis, and I hear God on the phone...'- and a muted, eerily perpetual beat); `Dirty Epic` (the complexity of this dub track rivals the best of Orbital and q-ziq); and `Dark & Long' (close your eyes, pretend the world just exploded and you're floating through space - the impact of this long and amazing track).
Those songs led to the opening track of Disc 2: the incredibly dark and energetic `Cowgirl' astounds with its ever-increasing layers of rhythm and melody. 1994 track `Born Slippy' is a modern dance classic, the monotonous lyrics have become the symbol of Danny Boyle's druggie hit `Trainspotting'. The film's extended soundtrack belongs to Underworld's composition, which masterfully represents the addled mind of an addict. `Push Upstairs', from Beacoup Fish, is a classy dance track, visualized very well in an amazing video everyone should check out - it dilutes the song's pretentiousness with fuzzy gorgeous landscape images; by itself `Push Upstairs' wears itself out after three minutes. `Moaner', on the other hand, benefits from its regularity - it starts off with an instrumental accelerating beat that doesn't let up until the last second, and then starts from the beginning with the supplement of emotionally charged lyrics. `Moaner' would be a craze at any club.
The rest of the tracks do not particularly stand out, but they do emphasize the quality of Underworld's highlights. Complex and stunningly vivid, `1992-2002' is Underworld's reminder that they are one of the most complex and gifted trios in contemporary dance music.

Disc 1 Provides New Content ; Disc 2 Fails to Do So.......2004-01-07

I wish Underworld had simply released only the 1st disc, and charged less for the set. Disc 1 is great, as it offers several rare tracks; Big Mouth, Dirty, mmm Skyscraper I Love You, & Spikee. These songs are all great, and make the CD worth purchasing... or at least purchasing used. Disc 2, however, is less exciting. It contains 9 tracks, 4 of which are either identical or slightly modified copies of songs from Beaucoup Fish. CD 2 is basically filled with slight variations on songs that are already in any Underworld fan's collection. I wish that instead of re-releasing a bunch of songs that people already have, Underworld had released more rare material. If anything, I think that the original songs are better than the remixes. In general, the originals tend to have longer and more complex lyrics.

Ten years of Magnificent Music sampled on 2 CDs........2004-01-03

I love this CD Anthology. It showcases some of the Underworld's best songs. It also has some very hard to find tracks like the 12 minute plus Spikee, the beautifully sad & mellow 8 ball, the original version of Dirty and the harmonica driven Big Mouth. It also has classic Underworld tunes like King of Snake, Jumbo, Born Slippy Nuxx, Dirty Epic, Dark Train, and Mmm Skyscraper I love you.

Moaner, Born Slippy Nuxx & Push Upstairs are all unique versions. Each is slightly different than the album/single versions. This makes another reason to buy this CD set. All of the songs on this 2 CD set are wonderful. If you are curious about the Underworld, buy this Anthology.

If you enjoy the Underworld, this is a great way to experience their music. This is a wonderful sample of the music they have made over the past decade. Put this CD in, sit back and let it take you where it takes you. The Underworld doesn't create songs so much as they create beautiful art that you can listen to.

11 years and still going strong..........2003-12-28

As the end of 2003 approaches, Underworld release their first compilation. Sixteen tracks separated on two discs. Eleven of the tracks have appeared on previous studio albums, while the remaining five have never appeared on a studio album at all (until this one). The compilation starts off with "Bigmouth", which makes prodigious use of the harmonica following along side a sycopated beat and a thumping bass. Later on, there's "Spikee", which is 12 minutes, 30 seconds long. A chugging "locomotive" melody is the best I can describe it, which is why I like it so much. On the second disc, there's an extended version of "Push Upstairs" (with additional lyrics)which I think is better than the original version found on "Beaucoup Fish". That, in turn, is followed by an extended version of "Moaner", which isn't that much better than the original (they should've left the last three minutes off, if you know what I mean). Still, "Moaner" is a great track. These are some of the highlights of "1992 - 2002". My only complaint is that "Dinosaur Adventure 3D" wasn't included. After all, it was released as a single (then again, it was released in 2003, hence, that's why it wasn't included). In any case, this compilation is a good start for the casual listener, and even if you aren't, you should buy this anyway for the five tracks not released on any prior album.

sublime, electronica genius..........2007-02-20

One of the best albums of the nineties. Don't listen to people who tell you that just becuase this music is not song based it is somehow hopelessly ephemeral .These people are idiots. And probably Republicans as well....

Dark Side.......2006-12-20

If you are looking for the Dark Side of the Moon of the 90s, there were two. This, and a certain album by Radiohead. The creativity, innovation and blazing originality of Underworld was never better represented in the studio than on this disc. I experienced Underworld live in NYC in the late 90s, on a whim when a friend suggested that I go the day of. That show single-handedly resurrected my love for alternative music. So I bought this after. An absolute masterpiece, one of the best albums of the past 20 years. Unless you're a moron, the first track will blow you away, it builds, changes and all the while chills you like nothing else out there. Then you are ready for the rest of the disc, a genre in and of itself.

One of the Best.......2006-10-12

This has got be one of the best "techno" CDs made thus far. I hate to use the word "techno" because I think Underworld gets lumped in with a lot of other inferior bands that are labeled as "techno." Underworld is NOT really techno, the don't make "dance" music per se. If you listen to their music, you can tell there are influences that are far ranging from drum 'n bass to jazz. This band is incredible and very unique. There really is no other band like them. These guys are the real deal, they are true artists.

Perfect sound.......2005-12-02

This album makes my soul warm like nothing else in this world ever could. Of all the countless bands and styles of music I listen to, this one CD is my unsurpassable favorite. I've been an Underworld fan since 1991 and no album of theirs has ever disappointed me but of them all, 2nd Toughest is audible magic.

Sureal and moving .......2005-11-10

What more can really be said? I agree with many here, that this is simply the best techno album ever created. It's tough to call Underworld's music "techno" though. Underworld distinguishes itself, and just simply cannot be molded into a specific genre. Somehow they manage to infuse so many sounds and styles into their music, it becomes truly unique. Techno, trance, electronica, pop, punk, it's all here.
I was introduced to this album about 7 years ago. It was my first Underworld experience. To this day I get chills when I listen. If you can't blast it, listen to this album with headphones to really pick out the detail. This is timeless piece of music.

Album Description

The stunning and atmospheric film score was written by electronic masterminds Underworld in collaboration with legendary composer Gabriel Yared (The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain). Meditative and ethereal, the original score for Breaking and Entering is musical impressionism and unlike anything of Gabriel Yared's in the past, and certainly not what one would expect from the dance history of Underworld.

Underworld has been involved in a lot of projects. They have created graphic art, video installations, and other bits. They have lost Darren Emerson. But now they have a new collaborator in Gabriel Yared. And this is an Anthony Minghella film. He is always closely involved with the film sound. I listen to these tracks. It's more ambient. It's more background music. There is nothing like "Born Slippy" on this soundtrack. There is barely any percussion. It has a feeling of the future. Underworld have made something very subtle and very beautiful.

As on 1994's Music for the Native Americans, Contact from the Underworld of Redboy finds former Band leader Robbie Robertson incorporating Native American musical textures into ultramodern soundscapes. Once again, Robertson fares best when he turns the microphone over to his guests. Verdell Primeaux and Johnny Mike's "Peyote Healing" is almost otherworldly in its beauty, and political prisoner Leonard Peltier's guest rap on "Sacrifice" lends the record some legitimate political weight. In comparison, Robertson's mannered, overly processed vocals make songs like "In the Blood" sound like Don Henley attempting a Native American version of Paul Simon's album Graceland; one hopes that this wasn't exactly what he was trying for. --Dan Epstein

Peyote+Huge Ego=Contact from the Underworld of Redboy.......2007-02-19

I finally realized what's been missing in Robbie Robertson's solo work. Soul. Soul in the music and especially in the vocals. Robbie, you should run to Levon Helm and beg his forgiveness. Reunite what's left of the Band and erase the memories of the audio nightmare that has been your solo work!

Lakol wicohan kin ahokipapi kte!.......2007-02-14

This is purely an emotional response, but given the fact that Indian people are relegated to stereotypic and one-dimensional presentations, it's almost cathartic to hear new, fully fleshed art. We are a living, breathing, enduring and -- believe it or not, we don't all live in tipis -- modern culture, it is validating to see it reflected back to us not only in the faces and sounds of our ancestors but also in the faces and sounds of ourselves as we are now.

Overprocessed sweetgrass.......2005-12-03

I can't see how you can go from the Band to Robbie's solo stuff without a number of reservations. I'm sure Levon's face would be screwed up at the awful use of programmed drum beats. Yeah, very indian, Robbie. Whenever he sings I can understand why his mike was off for The Last Waltz. It sets a tone for the music which is absolutely lacking in bite. So very removed from the rich interplay of the Band. When other vocals are weaved in for ethnic effect it sounded banal to me. His 'indian' concept albums suffer from a badly warmed-up feel. If you take the guitar break in Rattlebone it dies on its feet when the beat comes in. And then when the chorus comes, I guess, the intensity is meant to increase. I found it an embarrasment. This could have a warning to listeners on the perils of mixing indigenous sounds into a "relevant sounding production'. This is very controlled music. At times, not much more than the distasteful 'new age' prettification of Sacred Spirit. Where is the fun, Robbie?! This is so guilty of taking itself too seriously. And what happened to his skill with lyrics. "Wait a minute, where am I? On this elevator to nowhere. Going up. Going down." Writing lyrics for Richard Manuel, for Rick Danko, and Levon Helm is like writing for great actors. Robbie has a limited ability to convey drama and he has given himself lyrics to which he is well suited.

Robbie has a mean knack for working a progression in his song-writing and you can still hear that. But closing the earlier chapter of his musical life will always haunt him. The irony of setting out to move with the times is he has condemened his sound to a particular pocket of over-production. There is nothing on this or Music for Native American Indians which comes faintly close to the pleasure, the sadness, the intensity of Don't Do It on The Last Waltz. Well, any track from that concert.

Solid........2004-12-23

With some native american heritage myself, I've sampled a few artists (Nakai, etc). But I put this album and Robertson's "Music for Native Americans" together at the top of my "native american" list. It's traditionally influenced without being trite, modern without being too edgy. Thumbs up.

Emotional Absinthe.......2004-06-15

Better than therapy, lovelier than a summer rain, smoother than smoke, heart pounding like Bison, sentimental like a first kiss, tougher than leather, rapturous like love. Robbie Robertson delivers once again. This album does the very difficult: it communicates an authentic sense of culture and history without beating you upside the head, while also being totally OPEN and embracing to outside influence. This music communicates its history to you in simultaneously subtle and overt ways (just like most Indigenous people do in person), and speaks to your head and heart at the same time.

And for good measure, it also gets you off your ass and gets you dancing. Now what could be better than that?

Amazon.com essential recording

On 1994's Dubnobasswithmyheadman, Underworld took the sexy vocal groove of the epic "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" and expanded it to album length. It's derivative, but by no means is it forgettable. With "Skyscraper," Underworld created the perfect club track; it was dark and dubby, with a relentless groove chugging along below atmospheric noises and a sinister, suggestive vocal. Extended to over an hour, it's a long and seductive hypnosis session, a decadent film noir journey through dark impulses and impure thoughts. Vocalist Karl Hyde provides a monotonous, stream-of-consciousness narrative which, when chopped and rearranged, reveals a quintessentially British reserve that keeps the album mysterious. This is functional music, perfect for driving and, ahem, other repetitive activities. --Matthew Corwine

Album Description

Underworld's electronica 1994 debut, Dubnobasswithmyheadman, is still regarded by many as one of the best techno/electronica CDs of all time. 9 tracks, including 'Dark & Long', 'Dirty Epic' & 'Cowgirl' on this Wax Trax! Release.

The Masterful Music of Madness.......2007-04-18

For almost twenty years, the British duo of Hyde and Smith have been recording as Underworld. This was their first studio album (made with the collaboration of DJ Emerson, who has since left the group), and it is a synapse-shattering example of pure electronic genius made even more impressive when you consider that its electroclash ingenuity and acid house ambiences are as powerful as anything being made today.

If you wondering what to expect, keep wondering. You can listen to this record over and over again and be surprised every time. The reason that music like this exists is because there are no words to approximate what it means or accomplishes. You could say that some songs flow like the trickle-down perspiration on the walls of unexplored caves ("Dark & Long"), that some of them illustrate the electrochemical hopscotch of viruses invading healthy cells ("Spoonman"), that some of the tunes are the aural equivalent of lazy, Missourian sedimentary fossilization, silt and grit burying half-heard secrets ("River of Bass").

I could point to similar bands, if that would help. Here there is A3's country-wise spiritualism, Morphine's coarse-ground flophouse jazz,
Crystal Method's spirit mixed with Zero 7's laconic mentality. Again, though, this is a case where the whole is much more than the sum of the parts. How to describe the wickedness of "Cowgirl" or the sonorous luminosity of "Surfboy?" Will words do "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" any justice at all?

Nah. It's enough, I think, to say that this album is an unnerving work of art, an example of electronica that -- like electricity itself -- defies containment, defies shape, defies limitations. It charges the slow, wilful spark of precarious profundity, it rips through the impulse to think and remember, it ignites the vicious and verdant instinct to get up and move. If Cicero was right when he said that "No sane man will dance," then this record should make lunatics of us all.

another classic.......2007-02-21

the masters of the genre produce something deep and free flowing that still sounds good a decade later

Everybody's a beautiful thing.......2006-03-14

From the slow slithery groove of "Dark & Long" to the collosal techno anthem of "Mmm Skyscraper..." to the brilliantly kinetic pop of "Cowgirl" to the masterfully crafted nocturnal journey of "Dirty Epic" this album showcases Underworld at the peak of their compositional prowess in the realm of trance-oriented electronica. Now and then vocalist Karl Hyde sedately renders abstract lyrics that flow effortlessly between the layers of instrumentation and sometimes break into catchy mantras ("thirty thousand feet above the earth / its a beautiful thing / everybody's a beautiful thing"). However the sheer virtuosity of the above mentioned classics unavoidably relegates the remainder of the album to mere filler status (albeit not without their merits, such as the spare yet singularly atmospheric "Tongue"). Despite this "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" is a timeless achievement by Underworld that has not and most likely will never be bettered by any of their later work.

Quality permeates the soundwaves.......2005-10-10

Every song here flows like it's supposed to. Skyscraper, Spoonman, Cowgirl... I only wish they could have squeezed Dark Train or Born Slippy onto it. By far this is the best one by Underworld.

An instant classic.......2005-09-02

This is the first album of a fantastic band, which had an undeniable influence in the field of electronica. This album is a perfect example of how to make the so-called "dumb" electronic music a feast, a parade of ideas.

Dubnobasswithmyheadman is a flawless piece, filled with electronica classics, along with my favorite song of the genre "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You". Other standout tracks are "Dark And Long", "Dirty Epic" and "Cowgirl". The songs are all multi-layered, they are not easy to digest and might be a bit hard to understand for the first-time listener. To catch the flavor, one shouldn't listen to the whole album for the first time, it might become a bit confusing. This is subtle music for subtle listeners.

This album is anything but boring and I can only feel sorry for those who don't get this kind of music. Maybe it's time to set aside the prejudices and listen to the genre as a genre and not like an undesirable side product. However, for newbies, this isn't the place to start, they should try Orbital.

Nevertheless those, who only know "Born Slippy" from Underworld, miss a lot by not having this album. This is the cradle of the latter and honestly - a rock-hard cradle. This album is superior to the other albums of the band, this is pure electronica and fusion. The two things can't and shouldn't be separated, this is the beauty of the genre. Good sampling is an art which is quite hard to master and many fail. Long-time fans know what I talk about.

So if you liked Underworld's other efforts, you should give this one a try, you won't be disappointed. This might become your favorite album of the band - it has become mine or rather it has never lost this status. This is one of the best debut albums of the 90s.
