[5] When you're at an UW gig and waiting for them to come on, you can see Rick's desk with all those little strips hanging off - spine tingling. Also - the first sight of Karl's guitar propped on the stage does it for me. It's all about the little details. :D

-Being at a show and in the front row and watching Rick(and now Pricey) do their magic while Karl's bouncing around, but then ALSO, staring at their feet and watching him keep timing and the beat. I want to make an alternate angle to a live show on the up coming tour and just video tape/record their feet, or just a view from the eye level of the audience looking right across the stage. Whenever I'm in front at a show I always find it interesting to see how the different performers keep the beat for each track, whether it's a rock show or electronic show.

-That shiver that goes down your back as the house lights dim and the ansum intro can be heard playing and then they emerge on stage.

-The dirty radio sets they've been doing. (Can we get another soon?)

-The quiet tracks.

- the little moments in tracks that you can tell had MUCH extra-attention paid to.

- live show energy

- radio shows and ALL that they do for us

Karl's guitar playing....it is part of what rises them above being just a "techno band". I love the guitar parts of Tongue, Blueski, 8 Ball, Sappys Curry, Twist (Live), Dirty Epic, etc.:)

I guess we're at:

20: The fact that they have a properly identifiable sound. Not that they don't change, but you always feel like yeah, this is Underworld, isn't it?
