Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

Was listening to First Wave on Friday at 3pm Pacific. Richard Blade has a segment every Friday for songs that shouldn't be forgotten and he did a little blurb on UW MK1. He mentioned Freur & "Doot Doot" then said that after seeing the movie Underworld, they thought it would be a good name for a band (didn't they actually do the score for that movie, though?), were subsequently signed by Sire and put out their debut album in 1987. He then played "Underneath The Radar." It would have been nice if he mentioned they were still a group (albeit they're not New Wave anymore) and they had a newish release out today (even if it's only a repackaging with a new live show added to it). It was still nice to hear, though.

Yes, Freur did the score for Underworld, and then appropriated the name when the band was reconstituted.

I thought I'd remembered correctly (although I sometimes forget that Freur and UW MK1 are two separate bands, as the main performers remained the same). Thanks for the memory jog!

Re: Underworld Spotting [Again]
 

So for decades I strongly suspected that one of my favorite anime series, Last Exile, was inspired by Underworld in creating the opening theme. But I didn't really know anyone who was into both anime and Underworld that I could talk to about it. And I definitely never found any comments online about other people confirming it over the years.

Finally, a few weeks ago I directly emailed the artist, Shuntaro Okino, to ask, out of curiosity. I didn't expect a response and forgot about it. Today when I checked my email I got a reply! :D

I follow Maryanne Hobbes of the BBC on twitter on the off chance something Underworld turns up. I was not disappointed today. Paula Temple drops nuxx in the middle of this HEAVY modern/dark techno guest mix. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000mz9c
