I feel like ... it must have been mentioned before, but I missed it...

But - if these tracks were recorded & intended for something related to 'Trainspotting 2', why are they being released more than a year after the movie?

They were recorded for the possibility of inclusion in T2, but for whatever reason, they decided not to use any of them for the movie.

I think “Trapped” is the most successful of the collaborations. It doesn’t sound like UW and it doesn’t sound like Iggy; it’s something new and kind of cool unto itself, whereas the balance of the other tracks sound like perfectly good Underworld songs that Iggy ruined.

Surpisingly, this release has grown on me. I didn't think I would listen to it as often as I am.

Sometimes I like to put on my headphones and put on some Slow TV footage on my 60" 4K TV (on mute,of course) and I just sit back, zone out, and let the music and visuals take me away. It's quite relaxing. I don’t know if you folks know of Slow TV, but they are usually very long videos of various events or moments, like a train ride between cities or a fireplace crackling away, or shot of a beach with its ambience that go on for hours.

Anyway, I threw on this video...


and listenend to Teatime Dub Encounters and had quite an enjoyable immersive experience.

Underworld are also great when watching Slow TV train journeys, especially with Dubnobasswithmyheadman.

Trapped is very Sigue Sigue Sputnik... I'm well aware that I'm probably the only person who thinks this is a good thing :-)

My Japanese CD arrived today. It's very nicely packaged, the title is printed in white onto the jewel case so it's raised up from the paper inlay, and there's a 20 page lyric insert that's orders of magnitude more accurate than most. It also seems to have an interview in it, but unlike the lyrics which are bilingual, that bit is in Japanese only. The 2 instrumentals are pretty much exactly that - no obvious changes, edits or extra bits. They missed a trick here, as they would be greatly improved by being Karl only and Esme only mixes. Hmm, I may have to do some edits myself...

You're not and it is a good thing! Also, Sputnik were heavily influenced by Suicide and Iggy has clearly picked up on that with his, "Let's here it for Johnny", riffing on 'Frankie Teardrop'.

My 12 is sat at the post office. Does it come with digitial or is that gonna be finding it elsewhere on the internet kind of thing?

Like many of you, Pitchfork doesn't love it either...
