I think this was actually my favourite version, especially the way the sound of the drum roll seemed to jump right out at you.<br /><br />The production on Underworld's stuff was really good (v trippy), they made great danceloor music and had really interesting lyrics - what's not to like? It even had a good sleeve if I remember correctly.<br /><br />Amazing live too. <br /><br />I'm hoping to write about this if I ever find the single again. Probably cost a huge amount of money though. Boo.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories! <br /><br />xxsmith3000http://smith3000.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-52091807149837617722009-10-31T08:37:28.997+00:002009-10-31T08:37:28.997+00:00Hi Eryl - long time no see.

Work all day, boys just delivered to football.<br />Ah, now, I kind of do like it, and rather like swiss it takes me straight back to somewhere - Wakefield, bizarrely (did quite a long course there once). And unlike swiss I get on a lot better with rave/dance music when it has vocals.<br /><br />But I don't think I'd buy an album like this - I like it "in situ" but not so much as to want it in my home. Secondly, it ... well, it always goes on a bit too long for me. Nine odd minutes ... <br /><br />That's two negatives but there are more positives. Would I dance to it? You betcha! <br /><br />I'm liking this DJ stuff. And we love Bjork!Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380213493011623153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-71078560166515909752009-10-29T18:02:25.527+00:002009-10-29T18:02:25.527+00:00I think we hung around with very different people,...I think we hung around with very different people, Swiss! Although I know they were huge at the time they weren't a band that I heard a lot out in clubs and a lot of people I knew didn't really like them (too popular, too laddy, not nearly gay enough...). So I didn't get the overkill that you did perhaps. We did once get asked to play 'Slippery ball' when we were DJing (and they meant 'Born slippy'!).<br /><br />I also really like a slow track of theirs from the next album called 'Stagger'. That's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMSNiq_li2c" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />I was partly interested to see if anyone who hadn't been into this music at the time (and a lot of visitors here weren't) would like this music now. No sign of that so far!<br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-76206042233920722472009-10-29T17:44:02.613+00:002009-10-29T17:44:02.613+00:00while i agree that this is better than born slippy...while i agree that this is better than born slippy underworld were folk i just never seemed to take to. partly because they were kind of omnipresent for me at that time (listening to the start of this i can rmember exactly just how omnipresent!) and also i just wasn;t into that whole vocal thing of hyde's. takes me back tho...swisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924594772578153947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-36867186112078571172009-10-29T10:47:44.515+00:002009-10-29T10:47:44.515+00:00And where would we be without lunatics..?

With regards to...Hey Rachel - thanks for visiting.<br /><br />With regards to Dancer In The Dark:<br /><br />i've not seen Dogville and some of the things i've heard about Lars Von Triers and his attitude towards women have put me off his work.<br /><br />Dancer... is a great film, but again very harrowing. Bjork doesn't so much act as live the part - so if you didn't really like Dogville then you may not like this either. Its mainly Bjork's performance that transfers this film to a higher level.Don't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.com
