the versions of Peach Tree, Little Speaker, Oich Oich, Spoonman, BS.Original and Billy Goat are all great.
you can blame darren price all you want, but since it's now
an integral part of underworld, and underworld playing live,

they all get the blame / credits for the whole piece,
just excusing the darren price bits (which actually have
some decent parts to them), does not excuse underworld
from rehashing old songs, with a few samples thrown in,
and updating some synth parts.. yes, its harsh..

but like i said, if underworld wants to maintain their
quality and standards, everybody needs to step up..
not just just underworld, and let darren ride on their
works... a more cohesive integration would be good..

yes, its going to take some time, but how long has
darren price been with them? yes, improvising live
is tricky, yes its complicated, yes it can fail,
and they are trying....i'm just saying they can
do better, because they've done so in the past,
under harder circumstances (when it was just
two of them)...
