Big Sister is a release that came along at a turning point in my life as an Underworld fan. Before AHDO, I knew Underworld only as a dance-hit band with weird lyrics. After AHDO, I really started to take notice, learned more about Karl and Rick, appreciated their music. The first two Riverruns really piqued my interest, but I'm a Big Sister was the first Underworld release I was really really dying to hear. I transfered it to my mp3 player and listened in bed in complete darkness.

After entering what could only be called a 30-minute ambient trance state, I snapped back to consciousness and said "Emerson be damned," and I've been in love with the band ever since. Peachtree will always hold a special place with me.

I listened to OBW the same way last year (although I added my strobe light to the darkness) and I plan on doing the same for every upcoming Underworld release.
