Re: Dubnobasswithmyheadman: 20th Anniversary 5-CD Deluxe Boxset
I am finding it really interesting to hear the early versions of some of the tracks, especially to hear the sound palette the band were using, and how it was refined down to make the Underworld sound we know.

Bigmouth from disc 5 has a very Orbital like synth line that didn't appear in any later Underworld music, the sounds on Eclipse don't have the darkness and depth that I would associate with Underworld. Lots of other examples. This is no criticism of the music, it is just very interesting to hear its evolution.

I am really enjoying the box set, there is more on there that I didn't have than I expected, having a lot of the singles like the Dark and Long releases, Dirty, Spikee,etc.
