Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
exploration of early underworld tracks.
searching for instrumentals and dubs, so i wanted to create my own. intelligent software out there nowadays, but very tedious, and not perfect. ------------------- more dubby... (trying to remove vocal parts) underworld - dark and dub ========================================== https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r10rywBHuCg underworld - dub and long (vocal) =========================================== https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azWJCIRqLys more experiments coming soon. later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
Next up is mmm skyscraper i love you,
another great single. This is a very complex song, with a lot of effects, and layers going on. so first, i tried to strip it back to a more ambient sounding track, without the drums and other effect: ================================================== = mmmm skyscraper i love you (ambient) (might be blocked) ---------------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxzeroCoL6Q then, i tried to make it more of a dub, by removing some of the effects. it was very hard, because there are speech samples intermixed with singing, so a lot of it is still there. ================================================== ==== mmm skyscraper i dub you (might be blocked) ------------------------ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRycdiEfPoY NOTE : will be updating this page too https://surfaceremix.wordpress.com/2...instrumentals/ later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
surfboy is up next.
a cool, interesting sounding song. with minimal lyrics in it. all kinds of echoes, and percussion going on throughout it. nice dark, techno sounding: here's the instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NZzsD-SWHs and the dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S60y92VdCt0 later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals

Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
yes, i'm skipping tongue.
its mostly one channel, no drums, bass, etc, so onto dirty epic. and what an amazing song this is. lots of layers, and so many things going on to listen to. here's my instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZxvAVav43Q and a dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U91pKwiV9sA (video blocked) alt audio: https://sowndhaus.audio/track/19405/...dirty-epic-dub very dark. later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
onto the last upbeat track, the classic cowgirl.
sounds are very interesting, and complex as usual: cowgirl (instrumental): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Re2oXz9Yo cowdub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOTm29qbsrM later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
more fun with the cowgirl samples.
a more minimal version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLXHh4Mmhlk later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
here's a very mellow track,
with some interesting vocals: river of bass (instrumental): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXcDqFyNZeA river of dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c8BPrjQw9M later -1 |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
up to the final track,
mother earth, love the samples and voices in this one, and how they all mix together. mother dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPiAeYfpSAw mother earth (instrumental) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_56tgbLF7Y well, hope you enjoyed them. was interesting to check them out. hope to do all the rest of the non-album tracks, and of course all the material from second toughest in the infants, and the remixes too. maybe some other select singles after that. later -1 |

Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
Interesting exercises in vocal removal. It's an odd listen, for me, in a couple of respects:
1) I'm so used to hearing the vocals, I find I'm awaiting them to enter. But without them, you are right, I pay closer attention to what's happening with the music. Surely some buried loops and effects that I'd not noticed before. However... 2) Got to appreciate your efforts to strip out the vocals, but the half-erased vox leads to weird fluttering effects and artifacts, and the whole experience is kind of like listening to a low bitrate stream. Not terrible, but glitchy. The stems from the old idrum app (i remember having Cowgirl, Pearls Girl, Dark Train) were fun to play around with and remix acapella versions! Obviously not what you are doing here, but a similar sort of concentration on the loops and layering options rather than the track builds as we know them. |
Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
hi holden,
i agree, these are just interesting experiments. we will have to wait several more years for software to improve on these features. although, with enough work, they can be made to sound better. youtube compression doesn't help. i'm in the processing of revisitng these tracks, and made some improvements. later -1 |

Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals

Re: Underworld - dubs and instrumentals
the second toughest tracks all work well as ambient ones.
