Average Number of Times UW Seen Live: Five first dates ranged from 1993 to 2008!!! Live Favourites: too many varied answers to mention, although Rez at Reading in 1996 is popular as is Kittens at the Roundhouse in 07 General Questions: What do you want to see from Underworld Live in the future... this was misread by most, as 'what when playing live did you want to see' rather than refering to the website which is what it meant, but the resounding replies were: bring back the archives, more mp3 downloads, more RRP's, more unreleased tracks, play some Freur tracks live come to Canada, USA more often please... and more 3 hours shows! Some people's Poll also had these questions attached: What Would You Like to hear from Underworld Live in the future? replies: downtempo / ambient stye sets - almost all replies said this !!! What do you want from Dirty Radio in the future? replies: More of the same / ambient night / more live UW broadcasts What Do you want to see from the UW Shop in the future? replies: Socks / Badges / T-shirts / Photos / Art / MP3's and here goes the big one Overall Favourite Tracks: 1st Juanita / Kiteless /To Dream Of Love (Average Rank Out of Ten) (4.3) 2nd Beautiful Burnout (5.3) 3rd Dirty Epic (3.5) 4th Cowgirl (5.5) 5th Dark Train (2.9) 6th Cups (6.3) 7th Luetin (6.6) 8th Thing In A Book (3.3) 9th Dark & Long (4.4) 10th Moaner (5.0) 11th Chery Pie 12th Spikee 13th Jumbo 14th Banstyle 15th Kittens 16th mmm...Skyscraper I Love You 17th= Pearls Girl 17th= Rez 18th Crocodile 19th Spoonman 20th King of Snake 21st Glam Bucket 22nd 8 Ball 23rd Born Slippy NUXX 24th Sola Sistim 25th Oich Live 26th Ring Road 27th= Tin There 27th= Mo Move 29th= Little Speaker 29th= Ancient Phat Farm Coat 31st Born Slippy Original 32nd Peggy Sussed 33rd JAL to Tokyo 34th Faxed Invitation 35th Tounge 36th= Two Months Off 36th= River of Bass 38th= Push Upstairs 38th= Most' Ospitable 40th To Heal 41st= M.E. 41st= Food A Ready 41st= Peach tree 44th Best Mamgu Ever 45th 020202 the rest with single or few votes: Confusion the Waitress / Eclipse / Puppies / Sometjing Like A Mama / Underneath the Radar / 11 Hundred Hz / Ansum / Mowed Path / Holding the Moth / Riders in the Night / Spoon Deep / Trim / Vocoder Monks / Play Pig / Doot Doot / Vanilla Monkey / Stagger / TMO (Ciafone Mix) / Bruce Lee thats it then Juanita is still the most popular track of choice by Underworld fans by number of votes cast... its good to see a couple of the new tracks denting the poll, especially Beautiful Burnout, it will be interesting to see if the popularity of this track remains in a couple of years time... i'll try and summarise this poll, rather than just give the results in one chunk if i have more time... i hope they guys at UW have a chance to see these results and the comments, especially regarding live stuff, popular tracks and also who we want remixing the boys in the furtue as there are some interesting choices and comments made here thanks to those who took time out to vote and also thanks to Underworld, and their team for the Music.... this was about you guys after all....

Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
oh and the prize winner is:
HOLDEN for this poetic effort, which made me smile most: [COLOR=navy][/COLOR]Snow-thrown into the record bin, I make my decision, with your words in mind: “This is indispensable, this is essential, and this is not to be missed.” How right you were, I play it all night and I am brought into something dirty but epic. Headphones block out the buzzing of ancient computer, watching progress bars crawl Through file transfer protocols, we are sharing boots, needed again To glide downhill through the night-snow, Five feet hit five points and roll eight balls into the blood. I am in over my head in Underworld. Backing tracks to five years in the life, whether sleepless at 4 am or bringing light in. I watch the layered films and resonate with dreams of three silhouettes behind a desk. And when I can take no more of this wishful thinking, I’m 30,000 feet over distant skyscrapers, Feeling geography, touching the streets of New York with book in hand as Karl might do, focusing on traffic voices as Rick might try. And Finally, we become chemical, thousands as one, the visions made real, Pong fantasies and sparkling suit, the strips for tracks, the historic guitar. Every unrestrained body repeating that sentiment: “This is not to be missed, this is Underworld, we are taken in.” holden gets the stuff we listed previously, if you can send me your home address, i'll get -1 to send you his prizes from his end and i'll ship mine over soon. well done, and thanks again Matt |

I don't even understand how the average amount of underworld music items can be 74? I mean I have pretty much all generally available stuff (excl one or two singles) and a couple of "collectors items" and promos and I only got to about 30 items! Or do you people just have 50 copies of each album? :confused: |
Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
well if only 10 people did the survey then maybe i could see 74, but you and i both putting ~30 means two people put 110 items and simply is NOT happening. Well unless Matt put his 1000+ and totally skewed the numbers. :)
|
Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
well, taking my 300 items out the number would be closer to 60 i suppose,and infact one of the numbers was entered as 600 instead of 60, so the average drops a bit for sure.... but nonetheless UW fans have music - and the hardcore voted!!!
and the other music averages are skewed by people with large collections yeah... someone with 60000 mp3's for example, plus someone with 5000 cd's and someone else with 8000 vinyl records... the poll would be more average for certain had more people voted.... |
Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
Sterling work, Matteus - thanks for all this. Some really interesting stats in there for sure. No surprise Juanita is still number one, but nice to see my name-sake in at number two :p
[Sorry I didn't get round to participating this, btw but I had my head full of serious work worries (resolved since Friday, thank god!) and just couldn't concentrate on this.] And Holden! What a fantastic poem. Congrats :) |

Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
I can't understand the un-popularity of "holding the moth", although I shouldn't talk too much since I never got around to voting... Hahahaha

Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
Nice poem, holden.
So, Matt, exactly how many responses did you get? Oh, and nice work. |

What Would You Like to hear from Underworld Live in the future?
replies: downtempo / ambient stye sets - almost all replies said this !!! That doesn't make much sense to me. The live shows are suppose to be explosive and upbeat I thought whereas the more ambient/downtempo/chill was for listening at home. I can't imagine everyone just standing still watching the stage at an UW show... |

Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
Thanks for the results1 It is interesting to see what tracks people like and how much they correspond to my own tastes. Go the skewed results! (the mp3s were mine, I think! - wish I had (and could store) 8000 records though...)

Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
good job holden..
and too all the others that entered.. thanx for compiling the information matt.. why is the number for 'juanita' lower than 'beautiful burnout' though..or am i just not understanding how the ranking relates to the position? later -1 |
Re: UW 2007/8 POLL RESULTS
Well, the question was, list your top ten favorite Underworld tracks. And I believe Matt listed them in order of total number of times they showed up on top ten lists.
i.e. as an example, say, Juanita was on 80 out of 100 top ten lists. And Beautiful Burnout was on 60 out of 100 top ten lists. And then, based on what position it was listed in on those 80 top ten lists, Juanita's average rank was 4.3. On the 60 top ten lists with Beautiful Burnout, its average rank was 5.3. So, although Dark Train was ranked very highly on average (2.9), it did not appear on as many lists as Juanita, BB, etc. |

otherwise, a track that had one vote at say number one would have a rank of one, but was only voted popular by just one person... it was the simplest way to do it.... more people voted for Juanita in any position in their top ten and the average of these was 4.3, meaning more people put it in position 1-5 than 6-10 on their lists it is by far the most popular track what i might do is a poll of just the top ten tracks and get more people to enter.... this might give us a more reliable list as i think the volume of questions put some people off entering... some of the votes for the lower end numbers were poor |
