Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I'm not surprised at all. NUXX is only famous because it was used on the Trainspotting soundtrack. The original mix was chosen as the single by Underworld at the time because it was the best track and in my opinion (and it seems other people's too) that it still is the best version.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I like the original in a "Pearl's Girl" sort of way. But it's got nothing in common with NUXX. They're just very different songs... I was surprised when I heard the original and found that it was something completely different. And since it's the NUXX-version that's become "Born Slippy" to me, I have to vote for that.

The original is a good song, but ironically, it's not "Born Sliippy"... They should rename it ;)

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Boy you sure have some twisted logic. You dont HAVE TO vote for anything. NUXX isnt the only Born Slippy. What you're saying is that because of your ignorance, you have to vote for the most popular (well, outside of this poll) version.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I wouldn't call it ignorance... Sure, I got into Underworld a little too late to allow the original "Born Slippy" to be the first for me. But the fact that I've looked for, found and appreciated the original should count for something.

Still, when people say "Born Slippy", it's the NUXX-version I start thinking of. I can't help it, I can't change it, and when you ask me to vote for my favourite version of "Born Slippy", then NUXX is the one.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

denkbat: what i meant was that you seem to be choosing NUXX because you heard it first, and not on the musical qualities of the song.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

who the f*ck cares anyway ;)

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

...but the 11:30 min version is an EXTENDED mix of the original nine-minute-ish version (of NUXX)

seriously - check it out, on the original single (with NUXX as a bside) and then when NUXX was released as a single in its own right, it's even labeled as extended mix

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Woops! i don't have the original record...my Born Slippies are scattered among sources: NUXX, Deep Pan, Edit and Darren Price mixes on the EP,
Telematic from some crappy Dub collection, original in some dj compilations, etc. i shoulda consulted the discog! But like i said, there's so many remixes out there. And remember that the 1992-2002 anthology version is a different length than the Trainspotting mix or the extended version. Anyway, since the EP didn't say anything about "extended mix" on the 11:37 version, i assumed it was the whole deal and others are edited down.

But like it was said above, who cares? They're all great tracks! Just wondered if there were strong feelings one way or another! i love listening to the non-Nuxx versions every now and again to remember how UW used to make drastically different versions of the "same" song (a la Pearls Girl, Dirty Epic and Dark and Long).

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

For my part born slippy nuxx is a wonderfull track, my BEST track, but as many people i think that the live version is better than the single one, but The best of the best i think is Born Slippy Nuxx Live @ Glasto 98 ! Wonderfull moments !!!
