the irony here, being that underworld did the exact same thing
to almost all of the remixes they did for other artists in the
mid 90's...
you can barely tell what happened to the original sounds..
from most of the mixes they put out (ie one dove, drum club,
bjork, everything but the girl, eagles prey, etc)..
(by the way, i'm a big fan of most of those though), i can't
really stand the originals for most of them...
