Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Okay all...maybe the polls are flying fast and frequently these days, but i haven't seen this one before, and seeing as how Born Slippy is the best known track, it's worth wondering:

Which version is tops?

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I like "another dodgy trance mix version" :P

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I miss the option for Born Slippy NUXX played live in this poll,
as I don't really like the album version very much.

Anyway, I heard the original BS live in Luxemburg last year, and was completely blown away! So I vote for the original.

But the BS NUXX on Everything Everything is also sooo damn awesome...

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

My ideal NUXX live version would be the Lowlands 2000 intro (those fast pounding drums) and then a recent live version with of .NUXX into NUXX 2003. Love it when the 2003 piano kicks in.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Nuxx is fun, but original rules tops

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

no question about that!


btw: what's the "Deep Pan" mix? never heard of that...

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

The deep pan mix is on the single.

Best version of BS.

1996 Munich.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Original is by far the best, then Telematic. NUXX is way back in the distance.

You should all take a listen to the Darren Price Remix (not Mix) though as its completely different. Its not NUXX, its some Darren Price tune masquerading as NUXX and its a marvellous chunk of driving melodic techno.

holden: you really should have put all the officaial mixes here if you were gonna do it properly :)

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I love Rick's 2003 12" mix. I don't think I've ever heard the 11 min version of the original NUXX before.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Eeeek! Where can I obtain the original Born Slippy!

I've heard it live a lot, but I want to hear the studio.

I don't mean NUXX...

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Yeah, the version of "Born Slippy NUXX" that's on Everything, Everything should be on here, as it is an official release in a sense. I always thought that was the best one, although the original version of "Born Slippy" is a close second.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]i have to vote for telematic, although for me the whole single is totally awsome :D

that's where you can find the original mix, it's know as the lawnmower or the tractor single, look for it at ebay, it's there often enough.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

i can't select the best one :)
born slippy .NUXX (darren price remix) [8:09]
born slippy .NUXX (deep pan) [9:58]
born slippy [8:30]
born slippy .TELEMATIC [9:39]

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Born Slippy beats Nuxx into a cocked hat.

And hearing it live in Luxemburg was close to one of the most beautiful music moments of my life. :)

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I feel very sorry that i didn't register here before the Luxemburg gig as, apparently, i could have met some of you there... next time, then...

Born Slippy was amazing there, and, for me, is by far the best version.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

original and still the best :)

i agree about the version at lux... fab.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

thats a tough choice,
it was hard to choose from
the full 11:37 version and
the original one...however
i liked the darren price mix
also...oh well had to choose
the full version as that was
one of the first songs i heard
from them..

although i do really like the
various live versions also...

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

oh, if you're having trouble finding the original,
also look for this reissue of pearl's girl:
Underworld: Pearl's Girl [reissue]
[28 Oct 96] single
CD5: 1996 UK (Junior Boy's Own; JBO 45 CDS2) [new "red car door" ps]
8:11 Pearl's Girl (tin there)
3:53 Puppies
8:57 Born Slippy (extended album version)

if you want more information about the song,
hmm....i haven't updated it in ages, but here you go:

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

hey - you forgot to list the original 9minute-ish version that's on the original single

...and I always thought that one of the Darren Price mixes - I forget which one (not sure if it was the "Mix" or "Remix", was really just a mislabeled mix of Banstyle, you know? I mean - it sounds closer to that track, and all the vocals are from banstyle too...

(edit)
and I always took Deep Pan as really a track in its own right... but was labeled as a remix b/c at the time, it probably was seen to be more eye-catching to have 'remixes' and not bsides

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Yeah, maybe i shouldv'e put Pricey's mixes separately, though i'd just listened to the Born Slippy single before doing this, and i can't say they're all that different from NUXX. And then, there are all those other remixers out there...gotta draw the line somewhere. We don't need polls with 25 options now, do we we?;)

i'm surprised at how many folks are digging the original more than NUXX. That's fine...maybe the true fans are sick and tired of NUXX. i was, too, until i heard the whole thing again (none of these weak radio or soundtrack edits. Damn thing's 11:37 and 6-7 minutes is just poundingly good!)

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 !!!

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

You forgot Born Apart, on 65 days of statics Unreleased/Unreleasable Vol 1 EP. Majorly hard to find now.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Yeah, that's a lot of remixes. But i think it's telling that despite everyone and their mum trying their hand at reworking a classic, no one here is voting for these "other peoples remixes". I mean, UW redid it in 2003 probably under some coaxing from management to have a promo single to go with the anthology and also to keep it semi-fresh when played live for the 5,000th time. Maybe it's time to rediscover the alternate versions?!

off-topic but: how about UW re-release "Rez" or "Cowgirl" as a substantially redone version? "Rez" could benefit from a 2006 overhaul?

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

i could do with finding this...

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

You'd have a hard job finding the hard opy, theres a lot of 65dos fans [me included] wanting it to. I think theres a link to the file somewhere, i'll check it and see if i can get it for you, at least so you can listen to it,

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

yeah that'd be cool....

i assumed it was a hard find seeing as its as rare as you state

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

Ha!

This is the first time I have realised that you can click on the number of votes in a poll and see who has voted for them. D'oh

/me slaps herself on forehead

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

only if the poll setter sets that option you can....

its fun ;)

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

I've checked their forums for links to it, but there all old and dead:(

Check your favourite p2p or bittorent client, should properly be on their somewhere.

Re: Born Slippy, but which one?
 

thanks i did the same...

funnily enough i looked for 65dostatic gigs, and they are playing in Brighton, on the night of the dirty meet in London, shame i'd have liked to have checked em out...
