Wow cheers, will give that a listen thanks. I went out and bought the full DRIFT series 1 CD box set yesterday on a whim. Saw it for £40 in HMV and thought "Eh, why not?" and I never realised how much extra material there would be in there besides the EPs. There's a live disc, DVD (Bluray !! ) of the music videos, extended "continuums", and a booklet. Well impressed and don't know where to start haha. Something to keep me busy during this next UK lockdown anyway.

And don't forget Underworld released Manchester Street Poem album, which is a whole instrumental UW album on its own. Only the track "Doris" is featured on Drift Series 1 from it. Rick's live dub album includes a bunch of live reworked/remixed versions of Manchester Street Poem tracks. I highly suggest downloading MSP as well to help expand the amount of UW material. I kinda wish MSP was a CD in the boxset as well. It's really good.

Oh, and let's not forget the nearly 6 hours of bonus material included with the download code from the original large sized boxset that features a bunch of "from the vaults" material, from rarities to live rehearsals to studio jams to mixes in hi-res. That 26 minute Pearl's Girl jam is great.

Altogether, you got about 14 hours worth of Underworld to keep yourself busy with.

Yeah good point! I haven't listened to the MCR street poem thing, and I probably should given I live and study in Manchester haha. I realise I didn't get a download code in my boxset which I'm gutted about as I absolutely LOVE that Pearl's Girl jam and would pay good money for that song alone, let alone all the other hours of incredible content in that bundle. Think the downloadable content was only included in first release editions of the boxsets and not on the re-released ones (i.e. not the one I bought the other day). Oh well I can't complain, I have a ridiculous amount of UW goodies to enjoy for a while.

I might email the company and see if I should have gotten a download link (I doubt it, but no harm in asking). You never know

Raising this from the dead because I'm popping in

- Favourite "single" of: Dust, Atom, Heart, Space, and Game (and why?)
DUST: Another Silent Way / Drift Poem / Better Than Diamonds
ATOM: Roof Off
HEART: Seven Drone Music
SPACE: Border Country (though it's virtually tied w/ Big Bear)
GAME: Toluca Stars
Don't mean to be difficult and favor the alt tracks, but it can't be helped!

- Overall favourite track?
That's still pretty tough, but probably Seven Drone Music

- Choice of underrated tracks?
This is my favorite question, because some unexpected likes and surprising shelf-lives have developed over time:
I like the Aditya Game version of Soniamode?? moreso than the original? even if I still think it's doofy and strange. it made it onto my LP head canon. what?
I know it's unloved here but I still love Do Breakers Trip. It's fans of Hundred Weight Hammer I don't understand.
Tree and Two Chairs gets more play than a 13 minute relaxer has any right to. it moves just right.
STAR was kind of fun when it was out, and even spurred me into making a thread for whose ours were. Time hasn't done this one right though, its awkwardness hasn't settled right like it does for most UW left turns.

- Which track you would most like to see revisited (either live, remixed, extended, etc.)
As much as I like Pinetum, it still feels like it's missing something! maybe a little lemon.

- Anything else you want to mention!
The long version of BYTWB is the only version allowed to exist

I'm with ya on this. I quite like Do Breakers Trip, but not really a fan of Hundred Weight Hammer. Also, I never really dug STAR either.

Feels like I’ve wandered into a parallel universe. Do Breakers Trip is just... nah, though it’s not as immediately mute button smashing as Moth at the Door.

Have a feeling that one’s opinion on Hundred Weight Hammer follows Ring Road. Me, love em both.

officially feeling attacked as that's absolutely correct
