repeated bits throughout an album

[Cadevil]

Some of the same lyrics in Push Upstairs and Push Downstairs

[the mongoose]

Ansum and Little Speaker....but that's a single/album cross reprise as well.

There are lots of different elements that are 'the same'...

Spoon Deep and Surfboy
Big Mouth and Dark & Long
Rez and Cowgirl
Dark Hard and Juanita
Cherry Pie / Rowla
Confusion (End drum sequence) and Juanita (Start drum sequence)
Dobropet (intro) and 8 Ball
Ansum and Little Speaker

Oh yeah, and although the core elements are not the same, i think that You Do Scribble reminds me of Deep Arch

Any More?

Spikee ends with NUXX drums.
The sophia gig has this "eek-eek-eek" sound everywhere.

Dark & Long also has elements of The Hump. The animal sound is the same.

It's true! Similar chords and synchopation!

As for running musical themes through a single given album, i think the closest UW came to this was on Beaucoup Fish with Push Upstairs and Push Downstairs. Maybe some of the sounds in Cups opening remind me of Winjer or Skym, but though Pete Tong once said Underworld is an "album" band that takes you on a journey, i think the musical elements are usually really diverse from song to song...no need to recall or reprise pieces of dance music!
