Re: Underworld MK1 1990 Demos
Definitely seems like a partial band here, with live drums being played over the occasional loops. The second song (Faded Love) is an interesting amalgam with the vocoded vocal sections and Karl...

Re: Underworld MK1 1990 Demos
Wow - that's a really interesting find, appreciated!
I think the Experimental Soundfield gig at Glastonbury is what really did it, according to Karl's book. Changed up his perspective and allowed...

Underworld MK1 1990 Demos
Sorry to bother, but while we're waiting for IIFU, I recently came across the Underworld 1990 Demo Tapes on YouTube and wondered if any of us had them. Not sure if they are a shareable item here, so...

Re: I'm In Fucking Underworld?
How has nobody posted any follow-up to the recent Instagram/YouTube IIFU Hotel short? I'm just coming to it today after a busy week, but the info in the video would normally have caused rampant...

Re: Bonus Track of Strawberry Hotel: Velvet Does
Hard to tell, but guessing he's maybe thinking of experiencing early Burial releases before that actual album came out. That was being recalled in 2013, so might be mixing up timelines. Sounds like...

Re: Strawberry Hotel - Dirty reviews
There's a lot to digest here - saw it alluded to once as like a mini Drift, although overall it's probably both more dance-heavy and oddly experimental than Drift. Always expect a lot of variety with...

Re: Techno Shinkansen on F1 24 soundtrack

Listened twice through and main thing I can say is I now understand the reviews. It's definitely their most experimental album, and that's saying a lot. It feels both maximal and minimal at the same...

Interesting acoustic track - final version was mentioned to be rougher, scuffed-up and will probably have reverb. Would assume it's Karl, but hard to tell - the little bit of face briefly in top...
