it's interesting because you don't seem to be into the quieter, textural tracks off their early albums as you are into their later ones. and for me that's almost completely flipped

If a track gets a 10, does that mean we think that there's not a better edit or remix of the track?

Or just that you really like it?

And, if it's a track that you always skip - does that mean that it'd have to be ranked '5' or lower?

SOME THINGS YOU DON'T GET TO KNOW.

It is for me I guess? All opinions subject to the whims of my idiosyncratic brain.

I dunno, I rate M.E. and Tongue, and not Santiago Cuatro. But I get what you mean: I love stuff like Ess Gee, Good Morning Cockerel and Louisiana. Maybe it's the more acoustic sounds of these that appeal to me, and my love of music at the point where ambient / classical / folk / post rock meets. Stuff like Stagger is nice but doesn't quite grab me in the same way. I suppose it's less conventionally pretty / emotional. I'm a sucker for that stuff. It might be Edgeland is my second favourite thing Karl's been on (behind OWB).

I get finding its over-exposure grating (as a FSOL fanboy I've had my moments of disliking Papua New Guinea), but giving it a 0/10 no redeeming features score seems baffling to me.

Well, it is for me in a way. I got interested in Underworld because of it, but I never really liked it after listening to 2nd toughest.
I would actually argue I like the Darren Price Mixes from the Double Single way better. And if original mix, then I would prefer the 2003 12'' edit. I would not give it a zero, but a solid 4. I listen to it in concerts, but sometimes I skip.
