which is why i liked the lemonworld jam alot. the one with all the border community artists mixed between jams of UW songs. nathan fakes songs coming after UW is the perfect mix : )

tricky?

the roots?

outkast?


those are some of my favorites, and i doubt any would work... maybe tricky cause he's nearly a god...

Hmm, re: the mooted U2-Underworld collaboration from way back (pre-Beaucoup, so around 1997 or 1998?)... it might be cool to hear what that was like, since in the mid-late 90's, U2 was one of the biggest rock acts incorporating electronic/dance sounds (Zooropa and Pop LP's), and Underworld comes from a rock sensibility, a la freur, UW mk i, Karl's session work. But now, i don't think i want to hear anything with u2. They're not cutting edge (no pun intended ) anymore and Bono has become too preachy to stand (remember the famed Bono=c*ck thread? Or are we sworn to silence on that? ) The electro-rock torch was passed to Radiohead, anyway, and even they passed in on for the most partafter Amnesiac.

Now, i wouldn't mind hearing Michael Stipe's voice along with Karl's. Stream-o-consciousness times two. What won't Stipee contribute to, anyway? He's on sooo many records!

A female vocal would be great, too...there was a lot of Juanita on AHDO, but all spoken. A really incredible voice (suggestions? Not Bjork, please!) might integrate really well with the ambient side of UW.

Didn't Karl talk about at least doing shows with Nina Nastasia? Showcasing UW's ambient side with her sound blended in...

underworld + vini reilly = heavenly worlds colliding

[Flywaver]

underworld vs biosphere or an underworld remix of substrata would be out of this world how about a mix with sigur ros!? Maybe going places

Don't have time to look for it, but Karl actually addressed the u2 underworld collab. and there was a forum topic re: that collab. floating around here too


for my two cents: working for a nuclear free city and Underworld

[BeautifulBurnout]

Call me fuxx0rd as much as you like - I am too old to care

But I would love to hear an UW remix of Sheep by Pink Floyd from the Animals album. Bearing in mind the original dates from 1977, that track has all the potential of being a massive dance tune, imo, with the right work on it.

In fact, I hereby throw down the gauntlet to anyone who feels like giving this some techno treatment. It would make my day!

holy god. don't get me wrong, i like me some sigur ros. but i don't have time in my schedule for the 6-month coma that would surely overcome me if sigur ros and underworld met for a collaboration.
