Res-son-aaa-tor. Res-son-aaa-tor.

Juanita will, and should win. But Dirty Epic still remains awesome.

BTW: In your opinion...


...what should we vote for? :p

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

"Dirty Epic" should be the big winner, I think. "Juanita" has a great opening, but it's not the same; it just doesn't have the same emotional content, for me. That early period, from 1992 to 1994, is really special in Underworld's career, I think. Not that I don't like some of the later stuff too, but early on, they had a totally unique style, which was both danceable, and emotional, and reliant on good songwriting, and yet wasn't really directed specifically at the dancefloor or at rock audiences or at any of the ten million subcultures of electronica. The songs didn't just have great hooks and rhythms, there was also real development in the song and a dramatic build-up. The lyrics weren't just random fragments or observations, they had some coherent themes with a lot of striking, brilliant imagery. "Dirty Epic" is like that, the build-up of the percussion and guitar and keyboards is just terrific, and the vocal performance is so moving and vulnerable. "Juanita" is, I think, the last gasp of that early style; the first section sounds like a natural progression of what they were doing before, but the second section just meanders for a long time. It has grown on me, of course, but "Dirty Epic" is still my all-time favourite.

juanita all the way!

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

Both of these songs are ungodly so the point, at this time, is virtually moot. I could listen to both of these songs 100 times in a row and still hear something new on listen 101. However, as I said before, Dirty Epic is the song that introduced me to Underworld well over ten years ago, and as such it will have an eternal spot carved out in my heart. It deserves to win.

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

Dirty Epic is a beautiful song BUT Juanita is probably one of the best 10 songs i've ever heard in... the last 30 years (since the first vinyl i bought), the first 6 minutes of Juanita are just pure energy and maybe one of the best intro ever. So, for me, Juanita indisputably wins.

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

Couldn't agree more! But alas... People didn't want it.

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

Pretty funny to think that if this had been the concensus years ago these might be called the Juanita Forums. :)

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

Yeah, that could have been...and maybe it's a glimpse into our future?

After this, will we have a Juanita Vs. Kiteless vs. To Dream of Love poll?
Which portion do you like most? I think 3:34 - 11:09 is tops:p

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

I totally agree. However, in my opinion, the last 10 minutes are a letdown after such a great introduction. "Dirty Epic," on the other hand, is consistently amazing for all ten minutes.

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

This is the toughtest survivor, ever.

I did vote for J/K/TDOL as the ultimate UW song (voted off DE)
cause it basically is, plus it encompasses everything I love about
UW. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE DIRTY EPIC, but it just doesn't entail ALL
of the elements that make UW, UW... you know?

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

And the winner is...


JUANITA / KITELESS / TO DREAM OF LOVE

Now you have to put it up against the B-Sides and singles. (NUXX or Rez didn't get a chance?)

That way, the site wouldn't have gained this refreshing air of a pornography channel. Hmm, juanita.org... sounds mostly harmless, doesn't it?

Re: The Super Survivor: Dirty Epic vs. Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love
 

amazingly the name juanita.org is taken but it appears to be for sale... http://sales.mdnhinc.com/ for enquiries :)
