Underworld Spotting [Again]

[Dirty0900]

Watching "The Convention Crasher" on Channel 4 where Justin Lee Collins attempts to pass off a various talent in less then a month to win a competition. In this episode he was training to be a ventriloquist and in come Doot Doot during one of the scenes. Haha!

[dubman]

on thursday my native american studies class was watching a video called "alcatraz is not an island" (it's about how when a lot of natives were practically lured out of reservations with promises of a future and then were left to rot after a less than stellar "starter kit." they'd form these communities and from that grew a movement that attempted to claim the newly abandoned alcatraz facility using a stipulation in previous treaties/contracts about "unused land"). it was pretty great and for a protest went on for a really long time (18 months. on an emptied prison facility with barely running water and supply shortages.). eventually, after a series of tragedies and people going a bit nuts, attrition sets in, and thats when the people from washington came to negotiate.

it was around that time that the final act of stagger could be heard pretty clearly...

[viddy]

I was watching "Sunshine", which came out on DVD earlier this year, and "To Heal" was in one part.

the underworld mix of bjork - human behaviour was in masterchef last night. i wasn't watching it, honest..... ahem :)

[nosajmunson]

So I am at a local gas station yesterday and as gas stations go, there is nothing fancy about this one. I go in to buy Soda & Smokes and as I am standing in line to pay, TwoMonthsOff starts palying through the speakers.

I was amazed that a gas station in the middle of Colo Spgs, CO would be jamming Underworld. The kid behind the counter said it was satellite radio being piped in. He said the manager picks the stations at random everyday.
So I let everyone else go in front of me so I could hear more of the song (which by the way was the AHDO album version).

When I finally got back in line to pay, I noticed an older woman (Mid 60s) in front of me bopping her head in beat to the song. I asked "Like the music?" she smiled & said "Catchy".

Anybody else ever hear Underworld out and about in the world? Or in unlikely places. (Clubs don't count)

Share.

I thought we should start the underworld spotting again, but I was thinking we should do it here. That other thread hasn't been added to in a long while. Plus it was more geared towards underworld in films, tv, etc.
I had more of a "Dude, I just heard UW while I was..." type thing.

Here's another UW at large story:

I was doing a technical training certification at this company in Atlanta a few years ago. Their building was so swank. The trainer said he had figured out how to hack into their Building Wide music system from his desktop. I said, sure fine whatever. He asked what my favorite band was, I told him. A bit later, I got up to use the restroom. While I was washing my hands, the boring bathroom music changed rather violently from Dean Martin to Underworld's MOANER. It only lasted for about 45 seconds then back to Dean Martin.
When I went back to class, the trainer was grinning ear to ear. Guess the dude had skill after all.

I was at a bar in New Jersey to celebrate my friend's birthday. While working on my few glasses of johnny and coke I was constantly eying the jukebox which was spanking new, flashy, computerized and, as I later found out, connected to the net. So i thought...no fucking way! No? Yes! Nnn...YES! Casually strolled to it and had crocodile, born slippy and moaner cued up right after series of sucky rock tunes and MTV hip hop vomits. When Crocodile played people didn't pay much attention on it...they were like, whatever. Then born slippy got the attention of all the people who have seen Trainspotting, because otherwise I'm sure nobody knows the track from another place. Finally, when Moaner started playing i was grinning ear to ear. When Karl gradually went nutter with the vocals, I got the feeling that people got weirded out but i really didn't give a fuck although Moaner not even remotely it in the atmosphere of that place. I felt really good though because i stirred everybody. Most importantly the girl who celebrated her birthday liked Moaner because "the lyrics were intense"...and she got a CD with other great UW tracks. Eventually she went with me to see UW live in NY.

Another UW moment. Few years ago in Macedonia, I had just came back from a night out, got home and launched myself on the bed to recoup. I put the TV on some random channel and as i started dozing off i head river of bass played as a background theme for one of those general information programs that tells the weather, stocks, what's playing in the theater and so on. At that very moment river of bass hit the spot as its one of my favorite downtempo UW tunes.

[gillenium]

Am I the only one who thinks not hearing Underworld out in the real world is a good thing?

Frankily, if I saw some dude in a dirty pick-up truck blasting Moaner... I may have to reconsider my superfan status. Country and pop belong out there, because they suck. Underworld belongs in here.

[geoff]

Dudes in pickup trucks listening to Moaner sounds hilarious :)

I'm thinking more "normal" people would really dig underworld, given the chance.

[mondokat]

I was watching the new version of Vanilla Sky (with Tom Cruise) and at the end when he's taking the elevator to the top of the building they were playing "Doot Doot" as the elevator music. I just about crapped myself and had to stay through the credits to see it written out.

[galama]

Yesterday i head a fraction of Sola Sistim on NPR 91.5 as an introduction to some talk show about health :)

[ndrwrld]

just before the puck drops at every Toronto Maple Leafs home game, Born Slippy plays.
but the Leafs still suck.
must have something to do with Toronto...:confused:

[mondokat]

I was at the Wyndham in Santa Ana, CA this weekend and heard Mo Move coming out of Terra Nova next door. The next day I heard crocodile. Totally made my day, both times...

[IsiliRunite]

I play Underworld as frat parties are winding down, which means the audience is slightly more alert and bright than Toronto maple leafs fans :)

just kidding, I just hate the NHL bias towards Canadian teams :D I have never heard any Underworld at the Tigers, Red Wings, or Pistons games I have been to. I think they are not popular enough among sports fans and the techies like to play stuff that is exciting and nostalgic

Maybe Detroit could use a *cough* live show *cough* to make up for this under-representation...

[testudo]

Yes, I have a story.

It was New Years (2001-2002, maybe?) at a VERY small bar in Forest Hills Queens, NYC.

I was leaving before midnight and the DJ played, Jumbo... and some would say this is not weird, I just think from the selection that the DJ was playing it really weirded me out (very straight techno stuff), I wish I had talked to the guy before I left.

[nosajmunson]

For shits and giggles, I loaded UW's Peachtree & To Heal as the hold music today for all of our customers. So for that 15 minutes or so, 550+ people heard UW while they waited on the phone.

[TheBang]

You had 550 people waiting for 15 minutes?! :eek:

[Dirty0900]

Mo Move used on The Real Hussle on BBC 3

[pafufta816]

i would call my bank and internet provider constantly if they played UW while you waited.

[ndrwrld]

during Pride celebrations here in Toronto, on the main stage, Dr Trance aka Don Berns spun his usual trancey proggy set, and inserted Born Slippy.
i had a feeling one of the 5 dj's were going to play something by UW, and once i heard those percussive drums, i lost my shit.
awesome.

[Dirty0900]

Dirty Epic oddly used on the Tour de France last night.

[potatobroth]

Listening to Ron and Fez on XM202. and they just dropped the opening chords of Pearl's Girl as the bumper coming back from break. It went up to the part right before the stuttering chatter/bass drop. I recogized it within one-half second of hearing it. :)

[idoru]

Spotted a bit of Freur in Seattle this weekend. Was walking down to a small afterhours spot at a place called Hengst Studios and noticed that a car parked close to it had the Freur squiggle symbol hanging from its rearview mirror.

Maybe it's from a Dirt, maybe it's not, but I was surprised regardless because of how obscure it was.

Was watching the film Eurotrip yesterday and at the very beginning in the main characters room, there is a massive AHDO poster on his bedroom wall. From some of the shots, it gives UW quite a bit of free publicity!

[DaddyAdv]

I was listening to german radio Deutschlandfunk yesterday evening, a cleverly produced free-style documentary about gambling and casinos in Germany was on.

It hat some very good sound/text cut-up style mixture, and first parts and then the opening beats of Beautiful Burnout came up. Sounded like a remix, like Rick tends to open BB live.

From my Brother Jared:

He was watching an older episode of Top Gear on BBC America last night.
It was the German Uber Driver Girl, in a Ford Van zooming around her track, trying to finish the track in less than 10 minutes, all the while UW's Dark Train was playing. She didn't make it.

From what my Borhter tells me, they play a lot of Underworld on Top Gear.

[Jan]

I've just watched 'Raus aus den Schulden (http://rtl-now.rtl.de/rads.php)' on RTL (German dirts may know that show), and in two scenes there was playing Air Towel in the background. I was excited, as I always am when an Underworld song plays on TV (doesn't happen too often).
After that I randomly zapped around, landed on WDR and couldn't believe what I heard: Confusion the Waitress as background music for a programme about Uterine leiomyomata?!
Two Underworld songs on two different channels within five minutes? Not bad...

[sanakan]

and you're not ashamed to post what crap you're watching, jan? ;)

If it has Underworld in it, it is no crap.

Born Slippy Nuxx came on in a local irish pub last week, I thought I was hearing things because it's usually just classic rock.

What the...I loved that show and watched every episode. How did I miss those spottings? I'll have to find them. Bah, there's only "Best of" stuff available online.

[big screen satellite]

i was watching one of those crime in Britain type shows voiced by Jamie Theakston which had an Underworld track, and it usually does most weeks, can't for the life of me remember which track but its a staple of this kind a show...

also they played another one during Location Location Location... which i LOL'd about

must remember to note these down when they happen... doh stupid brain - it was a couple of weeks ago, but music selectors on British tv shows generally have pretty good taste when underscoring scenes... UW's music is pretty prevalent in these type of shows...

[crazysugarboy]

Watching tv this eve (the bi-annual charity telethon "Comic Relief" is the main event) I re-tuned from BBC1 to BBC2 and caught a bit of "Rocket Science" - a program which follows an inspirational guy trying to get UK schoolkids interested in science subjects i.e. phyics and chemistry, and a snippet of "Blueski" was played.

[Champiness]

Ha, even the the instrumental interludes get coverage. :)
This was sort of an offhand sighting, but I have Rez / Cowgirl going on my computer right now, and a few minutes ago my dad inquired, "What song do you have playing there? That 'doo-doo-doo-dee-doo' one?". I responded in my usual matter-of-fact manner, as if he should know it already, "Oh, that's 'Rez' by Underworld". Expecting a "Oh, sorry. Wrong track. I was thinking of something else...", I instead got, "Oh! I think they used that in an old telephone commercial a while back...". Now, I'm sure you'll all go "oh that's the [blank] ad" anyway, so I'll just come out and ask... what commercial is he talking about?

Few days ago I finally finished translating a chunk off of a book about film. There was a case study on british film and the author used Trainspotting as an example. In that part was a section that outlined the importance of music in contemporary film, its economic spillovers and effects on pop culture. I noticed that they failed to remember one of the very few tracks that really just fit in with the ongoing scene, so in the part where they listed bands that marked the movie I decided to add Underworld next to New Order, Iggy pop and Blur.

Thanks to the wonder of the watch again feature, I too have just heard Cups on the slightly daft Come Dine With Me - not a programne I would immediately associate with the techno brilliance of u/w, but there you go. I reckon the most appropiate use of an u/w track was an eppisode of Wish You Were Here (for non-uk dirts it's a travel programne) and the perma tanned Judith Chalmers was experiencing the utter beauty and ruthless efficiency of Japan's bullet train - you'll never guess which u/w track was played ;)

This happened before OWB, and I know it doesn't count as a sighting, but I had another UW new-album dream. I was in a back-alley record store in Chicago and saw 2 CD's on the floor under a table, I picked one up and looked at it, I could barely read the artist Underworld on the front cover. It was dark red/orangish and had an extremely faded picture of a rat's face, all that was visible was the eyes, really. The album was named either "Touch" or "Touched." Mike (from UW HQ) came over and I asked if I could look at it, even though I already was, and he said no. But he gave me a promo postcard to play with that was transparent, and had some colored transparent blocks that changed the way things looked when I looked through them. Anyway, there were only about 7 songs and the only names I remember were "New York" and either "Joo-Rin" or "Yoo-Jin"... something like that.

Where does this stuff come from? :o

Could you point me in the direction of it?
It's in that great bit bucket in the sky. IIRC, the temporary board was up when the forum moved servers. And then the original forums were restored, and all the temp stuff disappeared.

As for the content of that thread, I actually didn't read it, but I know we've had discussions about that sample showing up in the Family Guy Blue Harvest episode and in some Flash game online about a virus outbreak or something. And every once in a while, someone comes on and says "hey, I heard Ring Road in _______"

Edit: Here's a thread. Hilarity ensues:

Just heard the strings of Pearls Girl on a commercial for the University of Advanced Technology on G4TV. It's a 3D animation of a baby in the womb slowly rotating until you can see a gaming controller in its hands. Then the beats start up just in time for the end of the commercial. Nothing special, but it caught my attention.

Another one about a week ago, in a segment on a travel show about this insane restaurant in Los Angeles (http://www.thesupperclublosangeles.com/). It was a part about its "wild nightlife" (as if anything about it isn't wild) and they played, surprisingly enough, the opening beat of the original Born Slippy. I'm guessing somebody was looking for a "club hit" to play in the background, knew there was one with that title and managed, by some impossible chance, to stumble upon the original.

I seem to be the only person spotting....

The other night on 'The One Show' there was a segment about OAP drivers, and the background music kept switching between Dark Train and a Prodigy track (I cant remember but I think it was Firestarter).

During Sky Sports coverage (UK) of the Rugby Premiership Final on Saturday Scribble was played during a montage of action going into commercial breaks.. twice!
Oh.. and it was a cracking game with a cracking result! :)

Listening to Matt Pinfield (not sure how widely known he is) on a NYC rock station this morning. He was interviewing Gavin from Bush and asked him if he'd like to come into the studio and DJ/choose 15 or so songs to play as like a guest DJ bit. Gavin said, "Sure! Last time I did that, I found out I was the only guest DJ ever to play Underworld on that [Matt Pinfield's old] radio station." He went on to say how much he liked them and how the station wasn't too happy that he played them.

Cool intro and pretty good in general but he could have played a bit longer with that "glittering water Scribble sound". Jumping almost right in the melody feels more like a rape of that song than a mix.

Last April i had to make a film to promote the secondary school where i work.
The film was intended to be viewed during a kind of "open day" event for the younger students from other public schools of the region. The screening of it took place in a dark room with some visual effects being projected on both sides of the main projection. I used Scriblle for the main film. Consequence of this,last July we had 3 times more students wanting to enter the Multimedia Course we have there.:)

Attended an outstanding performance from Jamie Lidell last night here in Chicago. He did an improv in the midst of the show incorporating a string of Chicago house classics and, at the very end, the rising synth from "Rez".

Lidell's the only performer who, for me, could equal the joy and euphoria of an Underworld show. Everything I've seen and read so far also indicates that he, his wife/manager/fellow artist Lindsey Rome, and associates are all thoroughly likeable people. Nice to see a nod from one esteemed artist/good guy to others.

I can't place your sample, though it does sound familiar, and not just cause I like The Orb. I'm pretty sure that the fog horn sound at the start of this is from RiverRun material, I'd guess the same for yours.

mmm i was going to say, hey cool fan remix...but they actually sell this i wonder if they got the ok tho...

This was released on a well known drum & bass label's comp. I discovered thru a friend who buys a lot of dnb music and he sent me his download and was like "check out track 2 and tell me if it reminds you of something." This isn't really a remix or an homage. I wonder if Underworld approved and deserve to be getting some $£€ for this.

Loaned their ($120k!) projector to someone for street projections.

Heh, I found out there's a US senator with the last name of Hyde-Smith. Sadly I only found out because she made some unsavory comments referencing public hangings.

Voiski covering Tin There last year. It's quite a nice effort IMO.

"Sola Sistim" popped up in the movie Boy Erased, playing over the PA at the museum exhibition when Jared first meets Xavier. I was a bit thrown by its appearance, but I think it's something of a gay touchstone since it was featured in Queer as Folk.

Fact Magazine shared a video of Paul Hartnoll showing off his studio and live rig and there is some interesting information if you pay attention to the whiteboard on the wall. I took some screenshots for your viewing pleasure.

Remixer list:

It reads...

UTAH SAINTS
BICEP
APHEX TWIN
CHEMICAL BROTHERS
UNDERWORLD
LEFTFIELD
PRODIGY
DAVID HOLMES
VINCE CLARKE

Now only Bicep has a check mark by his name, so possibly he is the only one who agreed at the moment or he is the only one who handed in his remix. I guess we shall find out in 2019.

Posted the full story in Orbital thread with video and article discussing Orbital 30...

Nothing particularly new, but a brief article in Q Magazine last month about DRIFT.

Seattle's KEXP radio station will play Underworld on occasion. I was quite surprised to hear them play Doot Doot on my way home from work the other day! Wonder how long it has been since that got play on radio waves?

Sitting in Lost Abbey brewery outside of San Diego when "Doot Doot" comes on. Followed by Smithereens. Go figure. great playlist.
