Re: ambient underworld
 

Thanks for that, never knew they were there.
Does anyone have the full titles?

Re: ambient underworld
 

That album is great, as is much of Hawtin's Plastikman stuff imo. Turn up the volume to 11 and listen to the pulsing bass of 'Locomotion' via headphones. Pure, calm, rhythmic audio energy.

Re: ambient underworld
 

I've never listened to the rom tracks - although the DVD has been in the PC's DVD drive several times! :o Will catch up promptly.

Re: ambient underworld
 

i listen to a lot of ambient music and id have to agree that oich oich etc are not ambient...way too uptempo..i'd class 'to heal' as ambient...its very similar in style to eno's 'an ending(ascent)..the trouble these days is that a lot of record companies put out stuff such as the best ambient album in the world and lump in a load of commercial stuff that is nothing like what id consider even the slightest bit ambient...its more downtempo chill out..im currently listening to a band called marconi union from manchester...very ambient with some similarities to underworld's quieter moments...hazy guitars weaving through soundscapes...underworlds collaboration on the sunshine and breaking and entering ost's are what id consider ambient also..


love the vid on facebook of them blowing up the ipod touch....hehe

Re: ambient underworld
 

If anybody is able to upload a rip of those tracks from Everything Everything, I'd be much obliged! I'm having an absolutely shocking time trying to source a copy in Melbourne right now...

Re: ambient underworld
 

just buy it at amazon

Re: ambient underworld
 

Ah.... Everything, Everything, the 1st DVD I ever bought. What a great introduction to dvds it was and it still gets played very often.

Re: ambient underworld
 

first DVD i ever bought also. actually had to buy the player with it.

Re: ambient underworld
 

And mine too. :)

Re: ambient underworld
 

same here, I bought a dvd player as well just for this.

Re: ambient underworld
 

Same here. Is there a better music DVD? 10 years later it still gets played every single time me or my mates have an aftershow party. It's timeless, classic, essential dance music. And I love the crowd shots. Was that you, off your nut, staring into the camera at the start of Born Slippy? :)

Re: ambient underworld
 

I know this is a bit of a late addition to this thread, but regarding the "Ambient Mix by AVID", as a newcomer to this forum i have a few questions.
Firstly (not a question) wow, what a lovely mix, and thank you for posting it. But (here the questions) what exactly is the tracklisting? I've made a bit of a guess:

1 0.00 something... (John Peel story)
2 4.28 Showlder
3 6.52 something... ("Congratulations...")
4 7.22 Most ospitable
5 13.08 To Heal and restore broken bodies
6 14.34 something... (Talking clock)
7 24.02 Ansum
8 27.03 Ambient Beautiful Burnout
9 30.12 Japanese voice over Beautiful Burnout
10 33.19 more upbeat Beautiful Burnout
11 36.21 something... (organ - strings - choir - piano)
12 40.07 Ansum
13 45.20 + voice talking about Welsh
14 46.54 Ancient Phat farm Coat
15 49.37 + something... (Talking clock)

I would love to know what the 'somethings' are and (particularly) where they are from. I really like the ambient mix of Beautiful Burnout; where the hell is that from????? There was a remix on the old underworldlive which has a bit of the section with the Japanese voice, but not much of it... Anyway, it's wonderful and i'd love to hear it all (are parts 8-10 the same track?) I also really love the bit with Ansum mixed with the voice talking about the Welsh language!
Anyway, i'd love to find out, so any information would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks

Re: ambient underworld
 

What darktrain posted is correct!
Glad it was enjoyed. Wow, how time flies! It was a fun mix to make.

Re: ambient underworld
 

FYI: Alabaster White Thing was by Freur...so it's still Rick and Karl but still nearly a decade before any of those other tracks (!). I don't know the story behind it ....was it a 12"?

Re: ambient underworld
 

I have looked for Albaster White Thing for years. Where can this be found?

Re: ambient underworld
 

Have to tell you this mix gets much play on my iPod...I especially pull it out for long-haul plane rides. A real classic chill mix, and well produced.

Re: ambient underworld
 

i do not have this mix and to have it. any chance of a reupload? you know, for the kids?

Re: ambient underworld
 

This link should still work:

Re: ambient underworld
 

wow thanks for this man!

Re: ambient underworld
 

Thanks, man! I enjoyed mixing this side of UW.
Cheers, Bang for re-upping.

Re: ambient underworld
 

WOAH! thank-you, ma cap'n. this is sublime!

Re: ambient underworld
 

I am too very fond of this mix. Sometimes after a tough early morning shift of taking the Darktrain to beautiful Birmingham New Street (It aint!) I need a lie down and stick this mix on,but................ Biro The Leggy has beats! Whats the reason for adding this Holden?

Re: ambient underworld
 

Yeah, i just relistened to the mix and remembered that i kept in the beats from that version of "Biro the Leggy" - i didn't add any production, those were in the radio broadcast version. I guess it does sort of take the mix out of the ambient realm for a bit. If memory serves, that version was played during a year-end dirtyradio show, and it always feels very "cold and wintery" to me, much more so than the OWB version as "Beautiful Burnout".

Re: ambient underworld
 

I actually love that these beats happen (I didn't know if this was one mix - which it is - or 3 different ones) but it worked for me, giving the overall mix a nice shape; stops it becoming predictable!
Anyway, i think "Biro" is fab; i always loved Beautiful Burnout in it's album version and the other remix they did (the upbeat one that was on underworldlive - is that the same as the "R59 live mix"?) So was "Biro" only ever available through a radio show? If it doesn't break any of the rules of this site, could some kind person point me in the direction of where i could find a copy? (It doesn't appear to be on the RTSR tracker...)
Sorry to be so demanding, but it is a wonderful piece of music, i had to ask...

Re: ambient underworld
 

Many thanks for those responsible for the ambient mix by avid (the mixing and the downloading). Have just plonked it onto my usb stick (I have to use my local library for the internet nowadays). Hopefully it will be in pride of place on the iPod when I get home.

Re: ambient underworld
 

Tausend Dank! :D

Re: ambient underworld
 

[QUOTE=combustible pants;119280]ive always been a fan of underworlds quieter/ambient moments...theyve done some fantastic stuff over the years...ie second hand,best mamgu,cherry pie,sunshine ost

Yes I love their ambient stuff.....some of my favourites:

1. Banstyle/Sappys curry
2. sola sistim
3. pizza for eggs
4. ....big sister....
5. like a swimmer

They should do a whole album 'best of ambient uw'.....

Re: ambient underworld
 

In my opinion Showlder is their best ambient track. Should've been the nine-minute one, not Wedge.

Re: ambient underworld
 

Sorry for digging this thread up but I noticed that some essential ambient tracks have not been mentioned.

The obvious ones are:

• Tomato Antirom (5 tracks)
• Unreleased collection of tracks that used to be available on the website and commonly referred as "Underworldlive.com" tracks (e.g: Man Loop)

Also, for those who didn't know, the "Van Halen Van Halen" track was released on the Bungalow with Stairs 1 from Rick. (1"35, funny story)

More difficult to find are:

• "Bonus" tracks available on the website in the summer of 2007 known as Fonestrap (ver. 1 to 5), Autotrader (ver. 1 to 3) [which became later Phonestrap 6 / Autotrader 4] Bboybgirl, Shark Arp, Calonlan (more info) -> would be lovely if someone could share those!
• Ambient bits from the Wordimagesoundplay PS2 experimental game were uploaded here as Auto-Advice2, Grape, Movie. (preview)

Re: ambient underworld
 

Well I nabbed Calonlan from archive.org before Underworldlive installed robots.txt and got rid of a lot of great history, here you go:

Re: ambient underworld
 

How lovely! Thanks! :)
Any idea how to get a hand on the other ones?

Re: ambient underworld
 

2nd'd!

Re: ambient underworld
 

3rd'd'd!

Re: ambient underworld
 

Well I'm not sure where you would have found the others on the site, and it's kind of a moot point anyway considering Uwlive is no longer accessible through the archive. You might want to write to someone at the site about adding an exception to robots.txt, but even then I'm not sure that archive.org would keep the old pages.

Re: ambient underworld
 

Well it used to be pretty visible on the site back then (in the dailydiary section as far as I remember). You could stream it in a quicktime format and download it easily (I didn't because I was sure it would be released somehow... what a fool). It was part of a working progress for the next album, OWB.
So I'm pretty sure someone stored them. Hopefully it will emerge someday.

Btw there's a whole thread about Fonestrap, with a bunch of (dead) links...

Re: ambient underworld
 

Phonestrap (all 6 versions) is available for purchase on the Underworld Shop, so download links to those tracks here are not allowed.

Re: ambient underworld
 

Nobody listened to the Dark and Long mix 215 miles?
Great mix between ambient and groove. It's 20 minutes long. Together with Thing in a Book my favorite.

Re: ambient underworld
 

Let's add Most 'Ospitable then too!

Re: ambient underworld
 

I had the DVD, but gave them all away to a flea marked when I threw away my dvd player. I have ripped the concert section before I gave it away, but didn't know about the ambient pieces on the disk before now! Any way to get hold of them in any other way than to buy the DVD again?
