Re: Drift Ep. 2...wishes and predictions
First track I heard was Nuxx in Trainspotting, after which I collected everything I could find on CD, which around that time was;

-Dubnobasswithmyheadman
-Second Toughest in the Infants
-Pearls Girl EP
-Dirty Epic/Cowgirl EP
-Dark & Long (both versions)
-Born Slippy NUXX single
-Born Slippy single (original)

So basically I had what's arguably the band's strongest material all ready and waiting for me at or just after around the time I discovered them. The first album I got to wait for was Beaucoup Fish, and I still remember hearing Push Upstairs on the radio and going holy shit is this the new Underworld song? That's how a lot of us heard that new stuff even existed back then. I happened to be in San Francisco at the time so I ran to Amoeba Records, found really expensive imports of the Push singles and Beaucoup Fish. I didn't have a CD player in my car so I went to a friend's house to dub a tape (I would leave the room so I couldn't hear it), then drove back to Los Angeles blasting Beaucoup Fish. I remember the first time I heard the Jumbo bassline. Chills.
