Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
Big Meat Show
Dark and Long (Dark Train Mix) Puppies Always Loved a Film (Version 1) Deep Arch Born Slippy Food A Ready Oich Oich JAL to Tokyo (Live from Tokyo) I'm a Big Sister... Spikee JAL to Tokyo Strumpet (Live) 8 Ball Mosaic Please Help Me Simple Peal 1 (from a broadcast) Puppies (from a broadcast, alternate version) Pearl's Girl (Tin There) Toobee This is not very accurate. I had play counts reset some time ago for some UW songs (dunno what the case was). There should be more from Dubnobass and STITI, as those are the UW albums I listen to the most, and there should be more OWB songs. I remember Faxed Invitation, Best Mamgu Ever, Crocodile, Good Morning Cockerel, and Boy, Boy, Boy being high up there in play counts. Lawl at how "I'm a Big Sister" is higher than some songs in play counts. :D Edit: Oh, I remember why play counts were reset. I recently deleted all the UW albums I had that are MK II and MK III and then ripped the CDs (I have physical copies of the albums from Dubnobass through Barking) ... sorry, as I was saying, ripped the CDs to my hard drive in Apple Lossless format (Had them as 128 kbps AAC beforehand). That is why their playcounts are so low or at zero. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
I'm going to put the play counts next to them because...I like to brag about how easily addicted I get to Underworld songs:
Best Mamgu Ever 343 Jumping Then Cran 164 Good Morning Cockerel 141 Simple Distinctive (Floating World) 133 Loads of Birds 129 Born Slippy 124 Five Points 99 Born Slippy .NUXX 92 Improvisation 83 (seriously) I'm a Big Sister, and I'm a Girl, and I'm a Princess, and this is my Horse 82 Cups 81 Shake That Higher 71 King of Snake (Ricks Bungalow Mix) 69 Risingson 65 Crocodile 65 Pizza For Eggs 60 Born Slippy.NUXX (Deep Pan) 56 Push Upstairs 56 Holding The Moth 56 Boy, Boy, Boy 56 You Do Scribble 55 ( the rest of my Underworld plays, btwwww ) I haven't reseted my play count (never will) and I've been scrobbling since March 2006, a few months after I just got into Underworld. (September 2005.) For MONTHS I was listening to only them - I don't remember listening to anything else during that time. And I don't really tag tracks with a '(Live from blah blah blah, ####)" in the title - but in the album. So multiple live "Improvisation"s are in one tag - which is weird, but whatever - I loved them all. And I left in the original tag for a live "Risingson" - but I'm fully aware of the right one. Oh. And I have a total of 776 plays to the Breaking and Entering soundtrack and I only just watched the movie this past summer. 108 plays for "Counterpoint Hang Pulse" and 106 for "Broken Entered". And 164 plays for the Sunshine soundtrack - though I don't think I have the properly tagged version. I have no idea what is, to be honest. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
Screw Last FM or iTunes.
I listen to UW as follows: If i want it banging, i turn on "Beaucoup Fish" and listne straight through. A friend in college reakoned that this was their best. I was into her, and into BF, too. If i want it a little dark and adventurous, i grab STIT and listen straight through. It grabs your attention and doesn't let go. Pearls Girl is probably my least fave on the LP, just from overexposure. If i want to hear the future, i put on Dubno....all the way through. I've spent plenty of hours in upstate NY and in NYC airport terminals with this to know that it's both experimental and urban. But it's also the sound of a band getting its act together. I i want to recall surprises, i play AHDO - full through, First LP i awaitied as a fan. And it always makes me feel warm and autumnal, 6 hour drives home and that excelllent mix of what was done with BF and what would be in the future;. If i want an ambient sort of chill out, i plop on OWB. Yes, it's not really banging, but it's clean and inspired and polished. Now, if i want a breath of fresh inspiration, simpler tracks that still excite, i'll do Barking all the way through. It's different, but still UW, still quality, and still with surprises. Maybe the RiverRuns were the most shocking and lived in my earphones for weeks/months, but all the albums have their memories, all the tracks are solid. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
was excited to do this, then saw the list and realized most of them were just playing them to make a playlist work. boo.

It tops my list of most-listened to tracks on last.fm with 65 plays. "Big Sister" is pretty much my musical equivalent of comfort food.. if I'm feeling down, I turn to that mp3 file and utterly revel in how gorgeous it sounds. So I dunno, maybe that means I'm depressed a lot, who knows. The rest of my last.fm list is basically a mix of the Riverruns and OWB rather than the earlier albums, because I already listen to them obsessively at work and don't have last.fm there. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
Here is my last.fm top 20 of UW-tracks since feb '08:
1. To Heal 42 2. Faxed Invitation 39 3. Best Mamgu Ever 33 4. Jumbo 27 5. Simple Peal 1 26 (taken from uwlive.com) 6. Good Morning Cockerel 23 7. 8 Ball 21 8. Scribble (Radio Edit) 20 9. Beautiful Burnout 19 10. M.E. 18 Organ 18 Diamond Jigsaw 18 (combined live and album versions) 13. Loads of Birds 17 Big Meat Show 17 15. Dark Train 16 Holding The Moth 16 Glam Bucket 16 To Heal (And Restore Broken Bodies) 16 Always Loved a Film (version 4) 16 (taken from uwlive.com) Between Stars 16 (combined live and album versions) Always nice to look at a list like this, since it really differs from the list that I would write down if I was asked to rank the 20 best Underworld tracks. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
Good Morning Cockerel
Best Mamgu Ever To Heal Luetin Phonestrap 1 Ess Gee Push Upstairs Scribble (Radio Edit) 8 Ball Ring Road Holding The Moth Boy, Boy, Boy Bruce Lee (Short) Beautiful Burnout Mo Move Puppies Glam Bucket Cuddle Bunny vs. The Celtic Villages Dirty Epic Faxed Invitation It's only in the last few years I've really taken to playing mp3 over CD, so it's not an accurate taste of the last 14 years of listening. I can still make two conclusions: 1. I really, really like OWB. 2. I've given Scribble a chance, I really have. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
i usually have i-tunes on random so although uw are my most played artists - and rez oddly has come up most, its certainly not a reflection of my most selected to play uw tracks, just what i tunes likes most - and for the record Born Slippy nuxx is quite high up, but mainly because i have about 100 different versions of it! - so chances are it comes up...
of the new tunes though Grace and ALAF have been 'selected' by me most i suppose the volume of times a track is selected this way depends upon how much other music you have to randomly select from... when you have 30,000+ tracks in i-tunes, its not gonna throw up uw as much as you'd imagine... |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
Last.FM isn't quite accurate for me, so in order of favourites:
Dirty Epic Banstyle (Live at Brixton Academy - fuck me, that guitar..!) + Banstyle/Sappys Curry Best Mamgu Ever Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love Moaner Stagger Born Slippy.NUXX (from Everything, Everything - to me, this is the definitive version) Pearl's Girl (oh, memories...) Tongue Beautiful Burnout ...that was surprisingly difficult. |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
this is from last.fm....not necessarily my all time favs, but it's alright:
Push Upstairs Luetin Cups Sola Sistim Dark & Long Crocodile Two Months Off Dirty Epic Lovely Broken Thing Rez/Cowgirl Shudder / King of Snake Pearls Girl Something Like a Mama Play Pig (Wighnomy & Robag Wruhme Moosmutzel With Melody remix) |

Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
I don´t have every UW track so my list is quite limited. These are my favourites:
River of Bass M.E. Best Mamgu Ever Good Morning Cockerel To Heal Tounge 8 Ball Dirty Dirty Epic Pearl's Girl Shudder/King Of Shake Two Months Off Crocodile Downpipe Scribble Always Loved a Film Jumbo Mmm Skyscraper I Love You Dark & Long Pray Rez/Cowgil Born Slippy Nuxx Sola Sistim Lovely Broken Thing My first and thus also my favourite UW album is Second Toughest In The Infants Accidentally I´ve kinda "jumped right in" this magical UW world by that outstanding instrumental intro of Pearl's Girl in 1999. For years it was one of my most odd albums, you know the one you don´t love but just have to listen to from time to time. And then I heard Crocodile and I fell in love... |
Re: Your Most-Listened-To Underworld
Songs:
Best Mamgu Ever Two Months Off Banstyle / Sappys Curry Rez Born Slippy Nuxx Album: Lovely Broken Thing (suprisingly - I would have guessed A Hundred Days Off) |
