Re: "UW Orange Bed (Sept97)" most underrated song
probably because it feels like half a song.
none of it really coheres into a finished product, especially as underworld sort of dance between making tracks and songs, this cut feels like a couple of drafts stapled together. maybe with a bit more structure i'd start to agree with you, but as it is i think it's a perfect addition to a more completist package.


also let's not forget that by all accounts the making of this album was pretty fractious. bouncing tracks to each other via email and fighting over control over those versions. deciding on a more ambiguous path for that beat as opposed to to a head-on banger was probably part of that.



actually that'd be kind of interesting to wonder about, in a way that we will never ever get the answer to, about how the creation of this album affected its re-release. i'm still baffled by two discs of remixes, considering how what little we know of its creation still clearly points to lots of different directions that i dont think we got a real glimpse into...
