Dubnobasswithmyheadman Survivor Round 1

[bryantm3]

i will vote for 'spoonman' as it is my least favourite.

[BeautifulBurnout]

Mine has to be Tongue I think, though it was a tough decision to make.

Genesis fan eh? I wondered if that was where your personal sig came from :)

[the real stuff]

Wow, surprised at how many votes Tongue has, but I suppose it's a tough decision to make. I voted Surfboy, it just doesn't seem to fit as well as the other tracks on the album to me.

[holden]

Yeah, sorry "surfboy". It's not a bad track, just my least favorite from the album.

Gee, this is gonna get tough in the later rounds, dontcha think?;)

[potatobroth]

surfboy and M.E are my least fave on this album. spoonman is tops.

[//\/\/]

spoonman is one of my fave tracks at the moment! :)

[stimpee]

Cowgirl. overplayed. its not special anymore. i can take it or leave it.

[big screen satellite]

i like the idea of this

but please don't forget to vote in the big annual 2005 poll...the annual 2005 poll is still open...see my sig for more details....

(this also includes a best and worst category...)

as i said, this type of knock out poll might be very intersting, although i feel it may mirror my poll....with the most popular track on Dubno (and the rest when they come up) being the highest ranked track overall...people know what they like and always will...

come on spoonman... :)

actually what seems to be the weird thing on the genesis forums is that the track that wins the survivor is usually unexpected, like a track that nobody thinks is GREAT will win, because every song that has an extreme like that, somebody doesn't like it, so the survivor actually turns out to be the least hated track, which turns out pretty interesting.
i tried this on the moby boards, but they're just too far gone. it might've worked 2 or 3 years ago, but nobody gives a rat's ass enough anymore to participate. it's all trolls, pricks, and perverts now. only about 1% actually care about his opinions or his music.

[dubman]

i can't believe how many votes tongue is getting.

everyone should know it ends with surfboy :mad:

[phaseblue]

This really is a tough one. I can easily pick my least favorites on the other UW albums, but I never really thought about that with Dubno before. I guess it's just testement to the fact that in the history of electronic/dance music, this album truely stands on it's own and is an extraordinary piece of work!

I don't know.:rolleyes: I like them all... I love them all!:)

[joethelion]

man - how is this one hard?

Clearly the correct vote = "Surfboy"

I've never been able to get into that track... ever. Only time I've ever liked any bit of it was when the intro was used for an improv during the Peel live performance

[votingfloater]

M.E. (the track, not the disease). It's OK, but it doesn't sound like it belongs with the rest of Dubno.

Though it does remind me of when Radio1 used to use it as a bed for reading the news over years ago.

[gaborez]

it was tricky it's an ace album... finally i voted for "river of bass"

i love surfboy - get's ace when the chords start comin in.

talk to me.............talk to my machine :)

[spacefish]

M.E. doesn't do it for me but it was a difficult decision. I actually went back and listened to Tongue again and thought, "oh no, I love that". So M.E. wins. Or loses. Or something.

[froopy seal]

Cowgirl. overplayed. its not special anymore. i can take it or leave it.

You, you... arrghhhh! *pulling hair out* How dare you?! Unbelievable! Cowgirl "not special", pfff. Go see a doctor! The two other guys who voted for (or, rather, against) Cowgirl should follow stimpee in shame. Bad boys! Really, really bad!

*slowly cooling down*

Surely there's a possibility to undo their accidental mis-votings? Just up the count for spoonman instead, it's what they meant to choose anyway.

;)cmon, cowgirl is played at almost every gig that they play its been released as a single twice and is the 2nd most played Underworld song on last.fm. Overplayed. Time to give props to some other cool tunes like River of Bass.

Oh, and I quite like surfboy. not the best but I like it. its a great name for a song anyway :)

As for "undoing accidental mis-votings?", only moderators can do that ;)

[thee carp dreamer]

i do really love surfboy. i don't understand why it should rock as hard as it does. and i think that's why i love it.

"river of bass" is just trash shite. i never even bother with the 2nd side of the 2nd disk. ever. m.e.'s shite too.

[Dirty0900]

Was temped to vote dirty epic for a laugh,but decided on river of bass.It is a really good song, but i dont think it sounds right on the record.........

[stimpee]

River Of Bass is one of the best songs on there. I almost voted Dirty Epic too. Maybe in the next round.

[holden]

Clearly the correct vote = "Surfboy"

I've never been able to get into that track... ever. Only time I've ever liked any bit of it was when the intro was used for an improv during the Peel live performance

Yeah, i totally agree...and mostly i dug it because it was such a surprise that Rick dropped it into the mix. Have they ever played "Surfboy" live? ever?

[big screen satellite]

well even my dodgy statitsics tells me it looks like bye bye to surfboy...

whens this poll end ;)

[holden]

12-14-2005 at 12:34 PM, it says.

Who knows...everyone could decide they suddenly hate "Dark and Long";)

[potatobroth]

there are people that like underworld that hate Cowgirl? wow. thats a surprise to me.

[phaseblue]

imo, I think Surfboy is an interesting piece of music. I liken it to Little Speaker on AHDO in that no vocals are present and it's the "out there" song on the album, but you can still dance to it. That's why I like it (and Little Speaker - The Warfield, San Francisco 2002, Little Speaker live, fucken mindblowing)! I especially like the samples on top (i.e. "Talk to my machine" and the syncopated dog barks towards the end).

Have they ever played "Surfboy" live? ever?

They played the beat of surfboy (if my memory serves me right, it was only the cascading, heavily delayed toms) in L.A. in 1999. Lets put it this way, I was wearing a pretty "heavy" pair of "rollerskates", and well...oh my god!!!;)

[potatobroth]

they've played parts of Surfboy during some recent shows: Electraglide, Peel Session.

[undarrenworld]

Im sorry Surfboy:(

[big screen satellite]

there are people that like underworld that hate Cowgirl? wow. thats a surprise to me.

no i think just that it gets on people's tits after a while..

[Leon]

I'm not voting. All tracks are great. Surfboy is a great track!

[phaseblue]

All tracks are great. Surfboy is a great track!

Amen!

10 char limit, o.k.!!!

[mark3]

I voted for Cowgirl as well http://www.dirty.org/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif Never really liked that track, so it was kinda easy.. Spoonman is easily my fav on Dubno

[holden]

they've played parts of Surfboy during some recent shows: Electraglide, Peel Session.

Right, Electraglide '03 and the Peel session was a few days after that. But that's basically it...just little snippets of the track. It's never been featured, i don't think.

[Future Proof]

This is the stupidest shit I've ever seen. 21 for Surfboy -- are we listening to the same track? It should definately be M.E., which sounds like some kind of 80's science show.

I wish I would've voted for something good, just to piss everyone off. :D

[votingfloater]

At least this way I don't need to think of something else to vote for in round 2.

[holden]

At least this way I don't need to think of something else to vote for in round 2.

Absolutely...get your revenge then! In the meantime, the majority is speaking!

[Future Proof]

At least this way I don't need to think of something else to vote for in round 2.

LOL, no doubt. Hmmm... Dirty Epic or Cowgirl? Decisions, decisions... :D

[denkbat]

This is interesting... If nothing else, we at least get a good track-by-track discussion of an album we all know too well to discuss. And in the end, "Dark & Long" will win ;)

[big screen satellite]

no way...up against spoonman, i still go for spoonman...

this is gonna be interesting in the end...

[holden]

big screen satellite, you don't happen to have an ultra-exclusive-rare triple LP version of "Dubno" that will vault "Dogman Go Woof" to victory, do you? :p ;)

This should definitely be an interesting ending, with all the classic tracks on the record

[big screen satellite]

no, but there is the japanese version - with rez and why why why on a bonus 3" cd, which could have upset the odds...

(and i've not checked my white label test pressing for extra tracks...i could try that ;) )

of the 8 or so versions i have i think they are all basically the same... :p

[undarrenworld]

Cowgirl is one of the most beautiful tracks from Undie.

And yes I agree Spoonman is one of my most fav tracks of all time.
After hearing live Spoonman in Prague, I will never forget that track.
It was like re-birth of that cool old track.

We not need Survivor Round 2...

Spoonman will be on the top;)

Dark and Long and Cowgirl? No chance this time...

[undarrenworld]

You, you... arrghhhh! *pulling hair out* How dare you?! Unbelievable! Cowgirl "not special", pfff. Go see a doctor! The two other guys who voted for (or, rather, against) Cowgirl should follow stimpee in shame. Bad boys! Really, really bad!

*slowly cooling down*






;)



Who is Eraser of Love;)

[undarrenworld]

Why not make the votes able to see?

Then we can discover who voted against Dark and Long...

(Im not offending that voter...)

It could be fun...:D

... To know:eek:

[den]

Granted, tracks usually turn even more awesome when played live, but I always found Surfboy a little boring at least compared to other songs on the album. It just doesn't have that hook and it doesn't really progress anywhere.

[froopy seal]

Who is Eraser of Love;)

/me is eraser of against-Cowgirl-voters.

As for "undoing accidental mis-votings?", only moderators can do that ;)

So I'll have to hypnotize you into doing "the right thing" ... Where's that UW dog tag?

I almost voted Dirty Epic too. Maybe in the next round.

Man, you're writing yourself into trouble but you surely know that.





Again: all ;).

[spacefish]

It should definately be M.E., which sounds like some kind of 80's science show.

Haha! This made me laugh. Great analogy! :D

Again: all ;).heh yeah well im not one of the sheep who blindly follow the masses with the most popular tracks. sometimes a track is just overplayed and outstays its welcome to be banished from my playlist for months or years before being welcomed back. Cowgirl is one such track, and Dirty Epic has been banished long ago. It will come back eventually. River of Bass is the kick-ass track of the moment on dubno.

[Leon]

River of bass is indeed very lush. Hmmmm. Cowgirl isn't overplayed for me, because I live in Holland, where only shite music reaches the charts. And I haven't been to/heard many Underworld gigs where they played it.
