This means that you are in a minority which means that what you're saying is not normal which means you have to ask yourself why you might be in that minority and not thinking normally. What is it about you that is HELL BENT on being different? You obviously live in Tuvalu and have never dropped.

Are you serious? If you are, then you're a dick.
This guy has every right to come in here and speak his mind about Underworld. Just cause most people won't agree with him doesn't change that fact one single bit.

I guess you might be a troll or even a regular in trolling disguise though.

(meanwhile, back at the ranch

coincidentally, my bf sampler cd came in da post yesterday - from the notes:

Trevor Morais: All hitting things done in a live, loose and sexy way not dissimilar to drumming but better.

not sure if this is on bf, and the tracks aren't final mixes - but it seems pertient to the conversation!

Underworld improv their entire shows... they have no preplanned setlist.

Prodigy have preplanned setlists - even listing when the 'fills' are supposed to be. To them - it's not an improv, but a planned interlude between tracks the majority of the time

The Prodigy has some improv type thingies

And about the short shows; what do you want when you compare to a band that plays 3 hour sets ?

And I think that the drummer drums on (very nearly?) all the tracks.

I saw The Prodigy live last summer, but havent seen Underworld live yet (saw the DVD though).

oh, and that bit about the 'similar to drumming bit' (above post)
I think that is mentioned on the album itself also... but I took it more as like - he did some added percussion bits here and there

i'd contend that that hasn't been the case since the stiti tours
