Liked it, would listen again
Weird album cover. Kinda reminds me of Mezzanine by Massice Attacks? Feels like that font is very of time, specific to techno and rave— while also being oddly modern in its seriflessness. Title kinda doesn’t make sense to me? But I like the sound of the word “infant” in the context. 1 Yo okay ask me how I feel about this song after like the first 12 seconds and I’d be all like “well the drums panned echoes really tickles my brain and I like the metric modulation but this is kinda emblematic of a techno sound I think has aged really poorly, just not enough subfrequencies so everything sounds kinda tinny and/or washed out” and then WHAM the kick and bass kick and I’m all like wow wtf how have I not heard this record before this is inSANE! Love how this builds, it’s not quite as metrically advanced as it might seem because the downbeats are still hit pretty hard every 8 bars or so, but the little bits of syncopation and rut humid distance are great. The hat that comes in the right ear eventually is mixed a little too harshly, but it’s balanced out by the addition of a ride in the left and a center kick— super tasteful all together. And layers just keep getting added, it’s such a wild fusion of space-age 90s krautrock poeticisms and monotoned robot voice with a proper dance floor 4/4, and that synth that dances over it all YO GUITAR wow dude this track is so patient, those chords sound so good and only kick in like 4 minutes in— of course, that’s only like a fourth of the song, isn’t it? I am MAD I have never listened to this before fucking WOW. Really really like the lyrics, feel like poetry. I never understand when people call this kind of techno repetitive, it just feels like a fundamental misunderstanding of the point of layered instrumentals like this. The implication that change is music value is contrary to like all pop theory, and yet. Word to Andy Warhol. Getting pretentious, lemme get back to the music. Love how the vocals’ melodrama seems to naturally lead the instrumental correspondingly more gothic areas. Synth sound around 9:20 is fucking nasty bro, serrated af. Cacophony of percussion is auditory crack for me. Rave aesthetics are leaned into without ever feeling overdramatized or otherwise heavy-handed (subtle rave music feels like an oxymoron, but this at least treats the concept as possible lol). Ambient theory is allowed by a simple two chord pattern puts its feet up for a bit while the percussion rests. Vocals return; I had almost forgotten they had been here at all, so thoroughly immersed was I in the development of the song. It’s a track of movements, leitmotifs, and composed tones. Feels very intentional, with an immense amount of control and taste. Chip-tuned vocal sample listing colors kinda gives Board of Canada or the Orb vibes. After 16 minutes of patient development, a fade-out is very earned. Crazy good track. 2 No WAY is this dreamy LTJ Bukem-ass liquid d+b the follow up to the previous track!!! The atmosphere! Good god!! I am so mad this record has escaped my clutches until now this is so good. Water level music in a video game about hacking. The vocals really add something unique though— it’s one thing to have this gothic, new wave sort of delivery, but such an abstract narrative is outlined perfectly by occasion bleeps and bloops, the frenetic drums, and splashes of heavily effected guitar. I want to sit in a conversation pit with this song playing. It is so gently insistent, the two chords a pendulum back and forth— tension, resolution, tension, resolution. Hypnotic, especially when other chords start being altered around the five minute mark, prompting the drums to slowly dissolve and what sounds like the sounds of a factory floor to take their place. And this acoustic guitar is. So dope! Very Beck. When the percussion re-emerges, it’s more trip-hop, downtempo and crunchy. The skittering of the earlier jungle sound is now embodied by the acoustic guitar, and a really gentle pad brings it all together. Love this part, and love the vocals coming back in, great to juxtapose both sonic halves of the song with the vocals as the common denominator. With the brands and drug references I def see the comparisons to best poetry for the lyrics— they’re good, but wish the stanza repeated for the final bit of the song had a bit more semantic umph somehow. Hrm the dissonant sine-y keys solo kinda loses me, kinda sounds like Pac-Man having acid flashbacks. It isn’t there long, though, and we’re right back to the perfect guitar/pad/drums concoction. Seriously magic. Last two minutes fuck, majorly groovy. Do feel like a fade-out wasn’t necessary, kinda cheap— but then again, kind of a cheap piece of critique on a quarter-hour song 3 Now we’ve got an Air bass line over hard techno 4, really cool. God these vocals are so close and intimate, super cool. Weird vocal sample, kinda Kraftwerky? You’ll never believe this— very cool! I’m just so interested in the choices made in instrumentation, all three songs feel like they have such unique DNA— makes for a really strong album experience. Vocals and lyrics have a bit of a post-rock feel, don’t they? More of a Scottish accent and I’d be listening to Arab Strap. Some breakbeat in snare ghost notes that dance around the 4/4 pulse. God this song is just COOL! Psychedelic as all hell. Huh kinda ends abruptly— even some reverb woulda worked, just feels like it pauses lol. Still, great song, total journey. 4 Tsalright, like just kinda drives a groove into you. More straightforward rave, which is fine— they’ve just set such a bar for invention and experimentation, feels like this doesn’t clear it 5 Yeah baby now we’re back, percussion on this so so cool, that breakbeat feel with a pseudo half-time over crunchy synths feels so epic. Music to hack into a government computer for sure. Vocals are a little drab on this, but the song grows into itself. Felt like the brighter pad around 4:30 was important in helping the vocals click for me. Length of the first three tracks means I was kinda surprised when this so suddenly faded out, felt like it had more to give. 6 Oo fun little bouncy melody, kinda braindancey? The genre fusion is really dope, really does feel like they drew a little bit from every electronic subgenre under the sun. Ik it’s rave, but woulda loved if this track stayed on the floor rather than adding an up-beat snare, because the sound really lends itself to that techno feel— it’s aight though. Vocals have a bit more pitch and control than normal, which is cool. Really like “Bunny girl, happy shopper / Bouncing ball, telephone dial” both in delivery and simple sonics. Very hypnotic track. Good pacing, feels like it comes to a natural conclusion. 7 Guitar’s back, love the chop— nice little ambient direction, a bit like if Steve Gunn were remixed? Good color, doesn’t overstay its welcome, but both this and Rowla feel a bit like interludes to me, and that’s a little indulgent give they account for a fourth of the tracklist. Not too mad though— I wouldn’t skip them, so. 8 Vocals and lyrics feel more essential than ever. This one’s instrumental feels artsier than ever— could be a cover of an alternate universe Pink Floyd track. Lyrics are weirder, though. I like this song, like it’s genuinely good, but the first three tracks had such insane inertia that I feel the second half of this record has allowed to peter out a bit. I like the drums’ boomy crunchiness, very unique mix. Good energy. Just feel the record as a whole is a little top-heavy.
Surprisingly long songs. Surprisingly I did enjoy them. Not the style I listen to regularly, but they developed a lovely sound for this album. 3 stars, would recommend it to people who are into this genre.
Of course it's "Born Slippy" that I remember most - Trainspotting being the culprit for that. But this record sounds like late nights or early mornings at Playground on Amherst street in Montreal. It's got that "anyone can move to this" vibe that spurs memories of fun-fur covered walls and smoky, dark rooms filled with people dancing with cigarettes hoisted in the air. I had a boyfriend that would call the red hot ember of a cigarette "the heater" - precisely because it could be used to heat up hash. I'm not sure I would like to re-enter those rooms, but I like the fact that I lived through a time when I spent a fair bit of time there.
2ter Song gut Rest zu techno
Some nice tunes on here
Highlights from the album: Confusion the Waitress, Rowla, Air Towel. Has some really nice techno and tech house tracks tracks.
Absolutely great to work to
What are the odds I get two straight electronic albums? Got a couple of marathon songs to start, which is always fun. Some good jams/ambient beats here, but as is the case with most electronic albums, things tend to meander after a bit. My attention was elsewhere after a while.
Junge, was eine hundsbeschissene Musik. Der Wechsel zwischen den Stilen und den Rhythmen hat mir absolut 0 gefallen. Ist nicht meine Musikrichtung und ich bin froh das es für heute vorbei ist.
Hat seine Höhen, hat seine Tiefen. 3 Sterne
British 90s electronica. Fast and driving, perfect dance music.Sexy. Great for work.
Still hits hard. A unique blend of ambient, drum n bass and dance floor stomp.
Some substance here and there, but the rest is soulless background music
Album made me realise I'm alone. Started off weak but got better. I don't know what to say.
"Second Toughest In The Infants" is really tough to listen. Being honest, I wanted to finish in the middle of the album, so was hard to end it. The loop on the sound makes it harder. Was a suffer to my ears.
Very monotonous, stressful listening. I suspect it was real 'had to be there' music. There, in this instance, being a club, off your rocker.
Bleepedy blooping bloop
Music is OK. Don't like the lyrics.
Tyres from Spaced loves this album
Sigh... British electronica... Can you tell I'm over 900 albums in? At least it's better than Mylo.
Det finns personer som avlidit av tristess när de har hört det här albumet. Det är säkert!
Mostly EDM that didn't suck entirely.
Gar nicht mal schlecht.
Absolutely perfect work music. Perfect for anything else? I don't know, today I was working. Does it deserve a spot on this list? I think albums that represent the highwater mark for a genre should be on this list -- which I think this album arguably is. I'll be back another day to listen in different circumstances.
Ugh techno
Just ok.
Erfrischendes Techno-Trance Album mit guten Sounds , die aber alle ein wenig zu oberflächlich klingen. Nett zu hören.
I gave up on this halfway through. I was feeling bored and a little irritated listening to this, so I checked to see how much was left. When I raised I'd only heard 4 of 8 tracks, I just couldn't continue. To me, this music is boring to the point of tedious.
Had to skip through. Was like listening to a Gran Turismo loading screen.
It's a good sample of the techno dance music scene in the UK in 1996. It's OK and I can appreciate it's inclusion due to the cultural impact but it's not really my thing.
Great, quality electronic sounds man
Top tier techno.
I happily set off on an Underworld adventure yesterday, and emerged to the sound of my wife asking what all this horrible noise was. It's like a dream now. I can't tell you exactly what happened. I think I was happy then.
I'd started listening to this with headphones, found myself getting irritated, so switched to a speaker, much better listening experience. Still not really something for a typical Wednesday morning, would be better in a late night setting.
3.3 good listen but nothing insane faves: pearl's girl, juanita
I’ve tried a few times now to understand and appreciate the appeal of this genre and musical style. It’s just not jiving for me. Moreover, I’m not sure how one selects “the best” from this electronic-techno genre. I simply don’t hear the difference in the music. I suppose this one is as good as any, which is to say, not very.
Este disco es inseparable de la película Trainspotting, y sobre todo de Born Slippy, que no estaba en el disco pero por razones obvias se ha venido incluyendo en las reediciones. Su mejor tema y el más conocido. El disco, cuarto de la banda aunque realmente el segundo con Darren Emerson, se ha quedado algo encasillado a una época (mediados finales de los 90) muy concreta, pero tiene momento aún disfrutables. No es un disco para incluir en los 1000 mejores de la historia, para eso tenemos a The Prodigy en lugar de Underworld, e incluso Dubnobasswithmyheadman o A hundred days off. Born Slippy .NUXX y Rez.
Perfect album to be doing yardwork with, I pulled so many weeds and grooved out.
Reminds me a lot of Kraftwerk. And I really like Kraftwerk.
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, last track was great. 3.5 stars
Not a fan
Fine but can't justify the length
Pretty solid background music with one or two interesting moments. Way too long. Best song: Banstyle / Sappys Curry
I listened to this while walking around the center of a major European city - it made for a good soundtrack. I had a friend who used music like this to accompany abstract films he made - lots of time lapse, that sort of thing. It's what the genre is best for, although this is more "listenable" than most of its more robotic incarnations.
90s British electronica. Hard pass
2,5

Also, Nine Inch Nails called, they want their album cover back.
3.5 Biased review because I was in the mood for this.
Cool sounds, but not something I’d listen to every day
Neat
I rather listen to the sound of my farts.
A little strange, a lot repetitive. Not for me.
Overstimulating.
Honestly liked this one, but I feel like there's a time and place for this genre and I can't see myself putting it back on in most instances.
Electronic/techno stuff takes more energy for me to ingest, and even more to appreciate. As I encounter more from those genres, I'm realizing the challenge may be the repetition. When this album is repetitive it's just so boring/dull for me (Confusion The Waitress), but when it zags, when there's diversity in the sound (Banstyle) it's enjoyable. Grateful for those breaks. On another note, the title of this album is wonderful 🙂
1/5
This is a super cool album, especially for the period in which it was made. They manage to bring a lot of the genres that were popular in EDM at the time together and make something that flows seamlessly. It's not easy to keep my attention all the way to the end of an album like this, but this one really is good to the last drop 4/5
EDM is definitely not for me. Few good parts but mostly uninteresting
Dated techno that is also a bit contemporary in vibe. Well recorded and extremely explorative, it hits a stride occasionally and can be pleasing. The quality is good and the blend flows well with interesting musicality. However, it is long and not particularly applicable in modern listening digest. May it be buried in the strata and persevered in a museum as a fossilized version of itself for educational purposes, leading people to debate whether or not it ever actually existed or was placed there by a supreme being to have us question our existence.
Dope
2+ Stars (6/15)
YES, great selection. Instantly added to my downloaded albums.
Some of it not my jam but some bangers too
Enjoyed the break-y sections and the liquid tracks. Need to listen to more Underworld
Stressing me out
Probably the best techno/electronica album I've had on this generator. I mean.... It's still techno.... But it would be good background music to work to, which is what I did today. Favourite songs: Air Towel, Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love, Confusion the Waitress, Pearl's Girl Least favourite songs: Stagger 4/5
Eletronic beat. Nice to listen.
I wasn't expecting too much from Second Toughest In The Infants because i didn't remember it being too great but man, this album surpassed my expectations and then some. Every song here just manages to feel like the best kinds of electronic music with enough energy to be easy dance club bangers and enough ambiance to feel like you're in a whole new world. The guitars weren't there often but when they were there, they were just so unbelievably well done. It may be a 71 minute long album which may put some people off but in my ears, they made sure to make every second pure bliss. Best Song: Banstyle / Sappys Curry Worst Song: Confusion The Waitress
Alright, like a flimsy 9 inch nails
This has some promising moments and nice builds, but doesn't really do much in the end. Also half the songs are ruined by the awful vocals like so much EDM of this era.
Sweet, a whole album of 90s racing game menu BGM. Hard to appreciate the few creative musical thoughts buried in the techno drone of the absurdly long, relentlessly repetitive electronic loop tracks.
This one took me some analysing to realise how good this album is. I was about to dismiss it as some random Techno album and lump it with a the other few Electronica albums I've had already. Upon further reflection, though, it's a lot more complex than I originally thought. I'm not a massive fan of albums that require me to actually think about why it's good, I'd rather it just sound good at first listen. In my far prom professional opinion, those sort of albums sometimes come off as pretentious and annoying. Not quite sure why this one is an exception, but I enjoyed it. It still has some of the generic themes of Techno albums (prime example goes to Pearl's Girl - loved the pace and energy it brought) but it also incorporated elements of rock as some New Wave stuff that go underappreciated. It started of slow, with the first two songs being way longer than they deserved to be, but after that it picked up massively. Sure, it was repetitive, but I've yet to find a Electronic album that isn't.
spinge, un po' peso, ma comunque non male.
БЛЯЯЯЯ, ПЯТНАДЦАТИМИНУТНЫЕ ТРЕКИ, LETS GOOOOOOOO 4/5 (все таки подзаебывает, зато прикольно)
Little long
pretty annoying. theres this one episode of how I met your mother where they r in some club and nobody can hear anyone bc the music is loud and Marshall does drugs in the bathroom on accident for his toothache and this reminds me of that. I dont like this.
4/10 - idk it was electronica but not the way I liked for some reason.
Another British electronica album that is way too long and doesn’t really do anything unique or interesting
Again, not my jam
Reading about this made me nervous, but I ended up liking a decent amount of it (long track #2, Air Towel, Blueski, and Stagger). Luckily those last three tracks came through, or else this would’ve been a 2.
Fun
Goodish.
Definitely vibed out
Would vibe to at a club
Perfect music for an elliptical exercise session; fast paced and very repetitive. And that’s a 73 minute workout. Sassys Curry was the best tune, but they’re all pretty similar (and long.) I did listen to some of their other tunes while doing some mindless activities at work. All about the same. (2.8*s)
This album is a bit hard to rate, there's things I like and things that could be better. "Juanita" is a weak and confusing track to open with and it seems a little bloated to start with two back to back 15+ minute songs. However "Sappys Curry" actually gets pretty engaging about halfway in, this one should be cut down. I also like "Pearl's Girl" and the stream of consciousness lyrics throughout. There's something about the Underworld's sound that has you really paying attention and trying to listen/decipher which is in contrast to my approach to most techno which usually just serves as background music. Overall, the album is a tad too long but it's layered, complex, and very pensive at times. I listened to it several times and enjoyed it but the right time and place will really serve this play. For the issues aforementioned, it goes middle of the pack at 2.5.
I know Underworld only from their best known hit "Born Slippy" featured in Trainspotting and some appearances on electronica mixes I would pick up on cd. Going into this, I was apprehensive because I do not like Slippy. Started out not great but by "Sappys Curry", I was digging the spice. Album stayed pretty rhythmic for a commute from then on. Some tracks too drawn out but I really like the guitar introduction. Lyrics are wild, some deep weird shit..need to really pay attention.These guys earned a place in the genre and without the list I would have skipped over them. I'll be checking more out...3.09.
I feel like Second Toughest In The Infants is going to be pretty polarizing. It's got a pretty high barrier for entry as not everyone is open to multiple 15+ minute songs. At the same time its one of the best examples of various electronic sub-genres. While a lot of the tracks are long I was personally drawn in by them. I got lost in a couple of the beats and melodic backgrounds. I found it overall very approachable but would fully understand if someone dismissed as repetitive junk. This album is the definition of Certain Time/Certain Place. When applied correctly in the right setting Underworld scratches an itch so effectively. I wouldn't fault someone for requesting a skip or "poker stick" if this came on in the wild in the wrong place. I didn't realize that the original release didn't include Born Slippy which is the best and most well known song by Underworld. While it might knock the album down a peg to not include Born Slippy it was still a good listen (maybe a bit too long at 70+ minutes). 3.03
So repetitive
The first few tracks are decent background music, but as the album goes on and on and on, I start getting annoyed. Will it ever end?
Banging tunes. They know what they are doing. Probably best enjoyed on the dance floor with strobe lights and dry ice where you can lose yourself in the music
Not really my bag but there’s a couple of bangers on here
3 electronic albums in a row, they do keep getting better, but none of them are spectacular. Modern electronic music just really outshines it by my standard. Just another meh.
I've heard of this artist and may have seen them accidentally at a festival recently. Pretty classic 90's rave music.
This put an instant smile on my face. Great beats, fun, will listen to again.
Very fun to listen to! It might have been just the distraction I needed today or maybe I will pursue their future albums. Either way a worth while album on the list!
A 16 minute song to start the album followed by a 15 minuter? Shortest song is 3 minutes? I knew I was going have a good time with this one. Normally I think most electronic albums start to sound the same, but each song had its own identity and found myself grooving from start to finish.
From the first track I’m back in a sweaty club in Edinburgh. Reaching for the volume as it progresses, man this is good. ….. Ok, I realized that about 3/4 of the way in I might be ready for a break. Solid techno and sets the stage for the period but likely I’ll only return to cherry pick tracks #1 for sure is my standout.
As soon as I heard the first beat I knew this was going to be magical- LOVE BREAKS ME Just want to be dancing in a sweaty club in 1996 favs: Juanita Confusion the waitress Rowla Pearl’s girl - WOW Air towel
I love whatever sub-genre this is, I thoroughly enjoyed and wasn't bored one bit. 4.5/5 Standout track: - Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love 4.5/5: 11:31 onwards, felt like I was ascending.
I feel I am not able to offer critical insight or analysis. Love drummy beats, odd vocals, odd noises. Came to the right place.
I did recognise some of this album especially Confusion the Waitress and Banstyle has popped up in popular culture for the past 30 years. Some of it is tedious and I wasn’t sure it would rate more than a 2 but at times it was perfectly listenable if not earth-shattering.
Here's something I've discovered about my musical inclinations. Before we started this project, I was indifferent to rap and hip hop. Just didn't have an appreciation for it and had never really sought out artists to dive into. I can now say I have found a number of hip hop artists who I really enjoy listening to. I've gained a new perspective on the genre. I've also discovered that I have about one minute and thirty seconds worth of tolerance for electronic music. I literally couldn't care less about this album. I wish they'd stop serving so much of it up. It's excessive and mean. P.S. The album title is shit.
I... enjoyed this. I wasn't expecting to, but I kind of got swept away by the textures and the repetition. why I liked this more than almost every EDM album I've heard, I can't say. But something about this one grabbed me and wouldn't let go.
Loved this
I don't know what y'all are talking about because this album slaps. From the opening track and especially in 'Pearl's Girl' I was lovin the 90s club vibes. It wasn't just generic techno club music. It was actual creative Electronica. And one version of this album even has 'Born Slippy', which kinda makes up for everything.
Great album!
Bizarre, droning, weird and unappealing. Maybe better in a club where you aren't actually paying attention to the music, but then what's the point of music if not to pay attention to it? Hard pass
Fairly run of the mill electronica. Not bad for the gym though.
Not for me.
I don't mind born slippy, think it definitely has something that no other dance track has, I think it's the huge change between the ambient bits and the drumming bits. This album didn't really get anywhere close and had all the tropes of 90s dance that get on my nerves. Repetitive without any progression, just play the same bits over and over without changing or building to anything. A dedication to keeping things middle of the road that feels intentional. Wasn't completely unlistenable but at no point was it any good. 1.5.
Appreciate the genre but far too repetitive for me. Really uninteresting use of sound. Very very far from what I enjoy listening to - my heart rate was slowly increasing throughout. But not abysmal - just not for me. I'll knock it down a point to reduce our group average, which is misleading.
Only know born slippy by underworld.... This was much more techno than I was expecting. Not sure I've ever listened to a techno album before. Very repetitive, which I suppose most techno is, but it was fine with to have on in the background while working. Not bad "Pearls girl" was very reminiscent of born slippy. Think 3 is fair
Don't usually like electric/techno, but this was good. Definitely has a time and place in my spotify library, will revisit in future.
At first I wasn't feeling this cause I wasn't in the club. But then by the end I wanted to be in the club
Boring
Abrasive beats and anthemic melodies; a solid formula. I’m not versed enough in electronic music to tell if this is a classic, but I did enjoy it.
The aural landscape changes subtly, yet so completely that I often found myself checking to see if the song changed. 5/5
To me, Underworld always represented the sound of a very late night, when adrenaline first starts to give way to exhaustion. It's like having been in the club until 2am, and heading home on the train (or God forbid, a late night bus through London). The excitement of the evening lingers but the rough edges of the city at night also creep in. The stream of consciousness lyrics represent the inevitability of real life after the escapist hedonism of the evening. It eventually leads right into a hopefully restful sleep but your mind is still going a mile a minute. If the music sounds overly repetitive, you may be missing a lot. Like a lot of the genre, "Second Toughest in the Infants" does rely heavily on a steady rhythm necessary for a trance-like state, suitable for dancing, travel or sleep (or in some places, religious experiences). But Underworld give you a lot more as well including rich ambient textures, waves of acoustic guitar, complex song structures, and introspective lyrics. Underworld, along with a handful of other 90s groups, were techno for the art house crowd. This album marked the second release from Underworld's MK2 phase. Having tried, without much success, to form a synth pop band, Rick Smith and Karl Hyde's bandmates quit and the group fell apart for a while. When the two finally recruited DJ Darren Emerson, they resurrected Underworld and focused on a new sound influenced but distinctly apart from the London rave scene. The three albums recorded as a trio are considered the peak of the band's career and any one of them could have made this list. "Second Toughest in the Infants" is possibly their most cohesive effort, even if it doesn't have any of their most well known songs. It was released shortly after they'd contributed two songs to the movie Trainspotting, marking the start of a partnership with director Danny Boyle that would eventually see Underworld playing the opening ceremony for the London Olympics. Quite a journey from the struggling synth pop band that nearly called it quits in the 80s.
I need to meditate more on why I have a hard time with electronic music like this. one thought is, if you look at what timescales the melody/harmony repeats, most of the variance in the song is explained by these loud, repetitive, short cycles, and very little changes between cycles. Im also sometimes willing to give bands like this a pass if their sound design is unusual or interesting. I found most of the synths here grating.
Decent, but wayyy too long.
Shit
Nah sorry but I can’t listen to all this. I respect it takes time to make and there are some cool musical sections but there’s no way people actually put that on just to have a listen
I have some 90s electronic / techno albums on vinyl and they tend to either be very repetitive or have tracks with large chunks of uninspiring drum loops, so I went in to this album, saw how long some of the tracks were and had similar expectations. Don't get me wrong there was still a lot of repetition (Rowla, Air Towel for example) but that is the genre, and the tracks on this album just had a lot more going on and were more complex, with some interesting vocals and layers(?) that kept me just about interested throughout. Pretty enjoyable and listen-to-able as background music as I work. Hard album for me to decide a rating for, sort of like watching an athlete in a sport you don't care about, you can still admire the talent - I think this album is an excellent example of the 90s techno/electro genre but I don't often find myself in the mood for it. If I was to rate this album in the genre that it's in(?) I'd probably give it 4 or 5 stars, Fav song: Pearl's Girl
I liked this, surprisingly. I don't usually do electronica, but this had me grooving.
I actually had a really fun time with this one! The grooves had me dancing, which is the whole point right? I've realised I never give edm albums 5 stars because they're repetitive, but that kind of comes with the turf. If it's repeating stuff you don't like or are bored by, then obviously that's not ideal. But fuck it, this one repeated bangers only.
album so good that it feels like they injected cocaine into it
Half of this was nice ambience, half was club music. These do not mix well together. Stand-out: Banstyle/Sappy's Curry
No. Techno from the 1980s through the mid-late 2000s will never be something you "Must listen to".
pretty good for this kind of thing weirdly it still sounds like it was made by people
Not so bad as far as electronic music goes, but still has the over repetitiveness that is endemic in electronic music. Not for me.
I thought I didn’t recognise Underworld, and didn’t recognise anything on this album, but then Rach told me that Born Slippy was by them. So yeah, I do know that one. This album isn’t really what I what usually seek out, as I don’t really tend to gravitate towards techno (with a few exceptions). I didn’t mind this album, but I personally found the highlight to be the slower and less intense final track. The rest all mushed together a little too much. Writing this a few hours after listening, it’s only Stagger that’s stayed with me.
DNF techno
Only knew 'Born Slippy' prior to this, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, it's not even on the original tracklist, and only the longer songs were interesting to me. The rest was kinda bland and pointless to my ears.
I like a lot of electronic music. Not this though, it's too glitchy and not melodic enough. Fine if you are drugged out of your mind in a club, but I'm not.
liked this way more than I thought I would
The very first track set the tone for how much I was going to be uninterested in this album. Then either track 2 or 3 showed possible potential… I wish I could remember which, but the album, and songs themselves, were so long I couldn’t tell where most tracks began or ended. But halfway through I had already given up. Nothing came of the album, it was only at the end of track 4 and I think I was already 30 minutes into the album. Just dull mindless noise at that point.
There was vibin going on here on a few tracks. 3/5
Some chill trance vibes, but mostly felt like Ross playing his keyboard on Friends.
4.5/5
I thought it would be worse, but it’s just not my thing.
Sounds like Europe in the 90s. Amazing.
this was different. not sure whether I loke it yet or not
I enjoyed this and there was enough going on musically that I gave it a relisten.
This one surprised me in a good way. First time heard it. Very cool. Would be great to listen to at a club or on a road trip. Dug the vibe. Back half is so-so but first half is strong. Will listen again.
Pearl's Girl made it onto the Saint soundtrack. I dunno about this one. I think it finished stronger than it started.
this fucks, theyre like a better Kraftwerk, i bet this is massively influential for a bunch of famous edm/trance/dance artists. can find lots of similar sounds
Liked this a lot more than I expected to
No me va
i'm simply not going to sit here and rate edm i'm sorry it's just not happening
Love this album as much as I did when it came out.
Very good for what it is but not something I would listen to sober in my home.
Although I enjoy various forms of electronica, and this album is an occasionally interesting/enjoyable flavor, I'll admit that as a genre it's harder to succeed in the context of the "1001 Albums" project, largely because the albums tend to be much longer than in other genres, and there's a *lot* of iterative and repetitive music with each track. Some groups/artists in this collection have such a distinctive sound that their albums are easy to rate and compare to other albums in the collection -- Moby, Chemical Brothers, Air, Fatboy Slim, Bjork, to name a few. But this album (and I suspect Underworld in general) isn't one of those, and seems mired in a sort of rave/dancehall morass of beats and sampled/synth effects (and some very dated feeling drum-n-bass), which is great as background music in some situations, but kind of annoying as part of this collection. (When I read the Wikipedia entry for the album, I laughed at the apparently unironic statement in the "Mojo" appraisal of the album: "never has the introduction of a hi-hat seemed quite so exciting." Indeed.) The only tracks that stood out for me were "Confusion the waitress" and "Stagger", both reminiscent of Moby, but definitely more foregrounded than most of the album and with a story of sorts to tell. Both the Wikipedia and "1001 albums" entries for this album seem to suggest that this is a very cerebral and sophisticated form of experimental electronica. I remain unconvinced, I'll admit, and I'm sorry we didn't get their breakout "Trainspotting" (movie) single on this album ("Born slippy"), as that would have likely boosted their rating (for me); "Pearl's Girl" comes close, but sounds more derivative than complementary. But thankfully this is the only Underworld album in the collection, so that helps with a small rating boost of appreciation.
ambient music to work by.
Perhaps their best....
You know that thing where the thing sounds like the parody version of the thing? This is that thing.
exactly what i needed to listen to when i needed it most. blessed selection of tracks, i'll be returning to this one over & over again <3
1/10 Anyone less find listening to techno for an hour and a half boring? Favourite Song= Least Favourite Song=
Thoroughly enjoying. Suprised to do so. Its so pleasant to listen to. It blends back, it blends forward, it stands out, it quietly nestles in your thoughts, its really interesting. I can imagine listening to this for multiple hours of activities around the house, and while driving and while working and while cooking. Yes, its enjoyable. high 4 stars.
Ravey memories!
Third strongest mole? Second strongest infant? Are embryos gonna start ranking each other by strength next? No clue where or how this album is breaking new ground, but I thought it was pretty cool and is definitely in the key of music that I enjoy. My only real gripe is the overambition. You have to be pretty confident in your material to go for songs that are over seven minutes in length, and I didn't feel like any of the ones on this album had enough substance to justify their long runtimes. The sterile and stagnant nature of this music is a double-edged sword, however, as I can see myself putting this on when I want to relax or get into a flow state. I'll have to see where the cards fall in the future.
I've never listened to this group before, I love the story behind the title of the album. Trancey dancey jams - I put this on while I painted cabinets and it was perfect for that flow state.
Did not like the clamour.
There are some good songs on the album. Although I wished they had put in more of the slower songs, those were the best to me. Other than that this is DnB music as pure as it gets. Noce beats and a tempo that makes you want to dance. Not something I would listen to often but also not something I will turn off if it comes on. After listening to the album I looked up their other songs and they made Born Slippy, that explains why some songs (like Pearl's Girl) sounded similar to something.
It's oddly not as bad as it should be. A combination of looping spa music and call center hold music with random vocals thrown in. It does drift into laser tag music territory sometimes and is probably a bit too long. Still a bit of a surprise though. 5.5/10 (2.75/5)
This has been playing away in the background without ever really grabbing my attention. Nothing wrong with it, nothing to write home about either
Not listened to this before and was quite hesitant about giving this a go. I found that I enjoyed this more and more as the album progressed.
I love how unpredictable techno is. Like, is it going to go “uncha uncha uncha uncha” or “uncha uncha uncha unch”?! The possibilities are . . . those two.
The great thing about this list is the endless 90s Electronic music that you've never heard and can go on living without hearing again. 2.5/5
Why is this album so long?!? I started it on Sunday afternoon. Now it's Monday and it's still playing. Have I even finished a single track? Is there any rhyme or reason to anything? I don't even know where I am anymore. Is that a dwarf standing in the corner? Am I trapped in the album? Is this Hell? But also it's got a beat I can dance to. Two stars.
5/10
Without Born Slippy, this album is a two-star exercise in techno excellence. With the deluxe edition (including Born Slippy), this album is a heraldic 4 star affair. I prefer the deluxe.
Well blueski is the #1 track because the actually did something other than tell a computer to manufacture a sad beat. That said, didn't really need to listen to this.
Wooooooooow! I knew about Underworld, and in fact have seen them live before, but had never heard this album. It's magnificent--really takes you on a journey.
Last song is incred
Bought this album when it came out, but sold it on very quickly. Listening back for the first time in years it is better than I remembered. Very hypnotic 3/5
The Good: Nice album art The Bad: It’s Techno… The Ugly: TLDL Seriously, I have to sit through 75 minutes of bim-bam-bim-bam repeat if necessary? I like a nice short techno tune like the next person, but an entire album, which might as well be called a double album, with tunes lasting 15 damn minutes… I have encountered my second Waterloo on this list. 1*
It’s music that belongs in clubs or in the background.
ah the cozy days of the mid nineties when techno-fascism was still a far-off dystopia we read about in books and watched in movie theaters. love it.
Like just about all electronica from decades prior, this has aged poorly. In fact, thanks to this 1001 album thing, I've found that the worst aging music has always been electronica; almost seems fad-like. 4/10.
I normally don't enjoy the electronic instrumental-heavy albums, but this one had a good vibe to it. Nailed it without trying to hard
Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh.
I’m a sucker for anything that sounds like it could soundtrack the character select screen of a PS2 game. On vibes alone, I was going to love this album. But Second Toughest In The Infants takes that vibey, pumping, loop-able genre and elevates it to something serene, something almost religious. It does it in the lyrics, and in the builds, and it’s all so small and minimal, but the reward is in the details. Those details are hidden and demand attention to appreciate, but god, does it pay in dividends. The only thing that could make this record better is if “Born Slippy” closed the album out.
Rock, Dance, Trance, 1996 -> 2
Good background noise.
Decent songs, but this being an hour long is a bit much.
15 min track… i guess that was the one you put on when you desperately needed to take a dump during a DJ set. i guess it's just a pre mix. maybe they should just have made the whole album 1 mixed track instead. I like Electronic dance music but the problem is that it is dance music. This is made for a club not for a listen at home. Very few albums are good to put on at home (some Daft punk and Apex twin albums probably work)
I think my 20 year old self danced to some of these songs.
I liked this but would have rather been in a club than commuting while listening.
Listening to this in my office probably wasn't what was intended. This was ok, but I don't see listening to it again.
It's fine techno, if that's what you're looking for. I may listen to this again if I'm in the right mood.
5.5/10. It's a decent electronica album. However, its songs are far too long. It's not exactly remarkable, and I've been caught off-guard while listening to it.
House progresivo. Ni fu ni fa.
Electronic, techno, progressive, house,break, beat, ambient, down, tempo, experimental.
Obviously pioneers in their field but too much techno all at once for me
Brilliant
Apparently this band was a huge influence on video game composers, that’s cool! The first two tracks (the first half hour)! Is a difficult listen. Then the album just kinda exists and lingers, pearl’s girl is probably the best song but the ambient sections bore me… actually no blueski because it’s short and I guess the guitar is nice??? Still this is what I define as a 1/5
First Underworld album I listened to and a big intro to the 90s electronic scene. Being someone who focuses on beats and riffs and doesn't need lyrics to really make sense, it was great for me. Enough variation and catchiness to listen all the way through, and spurred me to listen to the rest of Underworld's ouvre.
Not for me, at all
Interesting structure for an album to start with two epic long songs, then the rest be much shorter, but it works. The first track especially was a real banger. Huge beats throughout, kept my attention for the whole 70 something minutes, which is impressive given how rarely I listen to this sort of music.
I mean it’s techno. It’s good. It’s repetitive. I don’t normally take much away from 90s techno albums. They all feel like the artists knew they had something new and great, and they drove it into the fucking ground.
A driving dose of hypnotic electronica where trance-like beats and mumbled poetry create something both danceable and deeply strange.
I like it but it does not deserve to be on this list
Just utterly tedious
rowla is fire
An inoffensive techno beat tape, and not much more than that
It was fine but nothing to write here about (2.5/5)
After I saw the movie Trainspotting and heard Born Slippy, Underworld became my #1 musical artist for a while in the 90s/early 2000s. I still have Juanita/Kiteless on my day-to-day running playlist and had Pearl Diver on high rotation for a while. Coming back to this music, I still really enjoy it even though it can be highly repetitive. My main criticism has always been that their tracks could be just a little bit shorter but when one comes on, you know you can settle in for a wee while before something new comes along. I reserve my 5-star rating for music that gets under my skin emotionally, so that leaves this album at a 4-star rating for me.
I really learned to respect a bit more electronic music, but 😮💨
90s electronica from the UK, it's a very long album with two songs in the beginning that are over 15 minutes long. The more I listened to it the more I got into this album, though because of the length it didn't feel like a very cohesive 'album's album', rather than different songs thrown together. I think I prefer other 90s electronica over this album but it may grow on me more if I listened to it a few more times.
Nah. It's fine generic electronic mumbo jumbo. Seriously why is there so god damn much of this on this list? It's so long and so boringggg 2.5/5
Listening to this album felt like a chore.
no
This is VERY 90s electronica. It took a special ear (and maybe a healthy dose of Molly) to get into this.
Very techno, good for running. Also the second song sounded like travis scott so i liked that
weird
More warehouse bumps and jumps
I don’t think I was on enough drugs to truly appreciate this
Electronic dancey techno music that failed to have much impact on me. Some moments pulling from more atmospheric/ambient sounds. I didn’t dislike it, but I barely remember specifics enough to describe it. Feels like something I would need more than a day with (or the proper setting), but I’ll most likely just forget about it.
This is what you hear blasting out of the spin class at your local globo gym as you walk to the water fountain.
Some time ago, Apple Music suggested Stagger, the last title of this album, to me. It stood out as electronica because of the lengthy lyrics, a bit unusual for this kind of music. Their mix of electronica, ambient, techno, and prog house is unique. Even the longer tracks have a nice build-up.
Now that I don’t do drugs, I don’t need to listen to this music.
Not a great album...
I'm pretty picky about the electronic music I like. Back to back 15+ minute songs were not the way to win me over. Works okay as background music, but it's pretty generic techno music.
Air towel -biisin kohdalla päästään vauhtiin! Muuten menee vain taustakilinäksi. Ei huonoksi sellaiseksi, kuulen kyllä ideoita ja nyansseja ja sanomaa. Eli varmasti hieno levy, jos jaksaa kuunnella.
Kolme minuuttia kestävän, mielikuvituksettoman blues-tapailun saa kuulostamaan biisiltä, kun muut raidat kestävät vartin (tai jotain). Ei siinä, etteivätkö nämä jumputukset ajoittain kasvaisi jopa miellyttävyyteen saakka. Mutta silti: vähän kunnioitusta, kiitos. 1+
Rating: 7.5/10 The first two songs are truly incredible. The songs slowly build to make something very unique for the electronic genre, it's like progressive electronic music with a great melody. The rest of the album is still good but not nearly as good as the first two songs.
This album makes some decent background music for going about my work day. Nothing exceptional, but I still dug it.
Didn't care for this one. I listened to this for another list. 2/5
C-
This isn't really my thing, and the fact that it came out in 1996 but still makes me feel old and out of touch makes me feel even older and out of toucher...but I guess it's alright...3
C o o l
Weird electronic and mostly no words. Not for me.
Took a while but I'm there. Only knew of Born Slippy, which admittedly isn't even on the original album so I instead focussed on the expanded version to include this. I loved the opening moments of it as a kid but hated the hard dance beats it turned into so put this kind of music aside for the next 10 years. Returning over 20 years later and I can appreciate this album for what it is. It's a shame the list owner never seems to have expanded from early electronica, there are tonnes of electronica artists that should be on this list, Jon Hopkins, Autechre, Floating Points, Squarepusher, Ross from Friends etc. Regardless it's still good to be forced to go back to where all this began. You can hear shades of some of those bands in this. A solid, if drawn out release. Trim the fat and it's an easy 5*
Different
Not bad at all. I found this a lot more tolerable that most techno in this list.
In the 21st century, hypnotizing background music has a place, and this is a brilliant example of that music.
Decent background electronic music.
Ganske nice jobbemusikk
bum bum tss
Overlong but there's a bunch of great stuff here, doesn't sound as dated as many of their peers
Pretty neat, I like the break-beats but I could have done without the vocals.
2.5 fine electronica still to long
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. 5/5
2.5
It was okay
I mean, it’s not bad, but it’s still standard British electronica.
listened while working and it really did it for me
Industrial, warehouse vibes, mixed with drum and bass, fitting of their band name. Would be interested to hear their newer stuff to see if it holds up today. Best: Juanita: Kiteless: To Dream of Love Worst: Air Towel
bridging danceable beats to pop songs, too much words filled for my taste
It's largely not to my liking, but there are a few elements that really catch my ear. Track 2 in particular - "Banstyle / Sappys Curry" - is pretty interesting. But my god, is it long and repetitive. It may even be closer to 1 star than 2, but I can't in good conscience give this the same score on this website as Limp Bizkit. 1.5/5
Good ambient music, the vocals weren't my favorite but cool sounds
I will be the first to admit that electronic music is not my cup of tea, I can’t not imagine a world where I am in my death bed and remark well thanks be that I listened to Underworld. Why are the tracks so long and so repetitive. I don’t understand it and please don’t try to explain it is a waste of time for all parties. No one can convert me.
It’s really not music so much as computers- definitely not my thing for more than 5 minutes at a time.
It isn't anything wild, just some trance
Ah yes...mid-1990s, the album nearly fills a CD. It's a bit long. But that said, this is quite a varied collection of songs, varying from pretty techno-focussed stuff to softer, more introspective tracks. I prefer the more techo tracks, but in general I liked the album. May add to my collection.
Older techno. I know them from Born Slippy on the Trainspotting soundtrack. Overall this isn't a bad listen even though I'm not as into it.
This album grew on me massively, amazing stuff
whoa
Albums from this month I own on CD/vinyl: The Wall, Thriller, Sgt. Peppers, GREY Area, & whatever this is (I found it in a Cdn thrift store for two bucks :0) It sure is a lot of techno all at once. Wikipedia needs to cite their sources when it comes to "anthemic melodies", as this is by no means a melodic album. "Blueski" sounds like it's about to become the electro/acoustic bop of the summer, and then it just... ends. There are quite a few overlong albums I adore (Speakerboxx/The Love Below, Tusk, hell even Logical Progression if we’re talking electronica). Second Toughest is shorter than all 3 but I *felt* the length. I didn't love it, but it's certainly worth working out to. (Of course, that would require one to work out.) 2.5 HL: "Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream of Love", "Banstyle/Sappy's Curry", "Stagger", "Born Slippy" (bonus) August 30, 2024
I understand, that British electronic music has to be somewhat darker. I have to be in a real mood to listen to it. The mood happens rarely. In any other day (like today) it feels like I'm traumatizing myself with noise. I can't sing it, can't dance to this, can't have much positive thoughts about the whole performance. I know that's the point of their music, but it does not speak to me. It's not what music should be.
The first song sounded like a soundtrack to a movie of people dancing high on drugs. Overall I liked most of the songs. The vocals didn't add much. One song got to be annoying
OK let's get 1 thing straight right off the bat; this is Electronica, some of which could be called House; This is NOT Prog. While their maybe be bands you could argue do both, the terms are NOT interchangeable. As an album to listen to, I found it mildly interesting at times. I can even see it in the list as an example of such "music." Originally, I was going to say it was like a tour of a science museum but I really like science museums too much to make that analogy. It could be soundtrack music to the next Matrix movie. It was actually quite good for working (physically working) to. It was very bad for listening to while sitting in traffic.
I'm not really sure how to approach this. It wasn't bad, but it was long. Each song was an experience. Let's examine each experience. The first track had me starting off certain the fire sprinklers were going to start raining blood and I best get moving with some garlic and wooden stakes, but by the end, a chipmunk was reading me a paint-by-number picture, and I was no longer afraid of vampires. Track 2 was one of the more enjoyable songs I've heard while on hold for 15+ minutes on the phone. Track 3, I think I was given a drug that made me hyper-focused though unable to move as fast as my brain currently runs. She promised a lot here, whoever she is. Track 4, the vampires are back. Track 5. I think I just woke up floating in a salt water sensory deprivation tank. Then maybe I went to Morocco. I'm really not sure. If this were a movie soundtrack, I'd definitely watch the movie. But I wouldnt buy the soundtrack. Track 6. This is called "Air Towel" and feels like the background music for a video attempting to sell me a newly designed hand dryer. Just tell me the price already. Track 7. This is actually a really cool eastern sounding thing, and it isnt 8 years long. It sort of never builds to anything, but it's good. I wish more of these songs just sort of faded away sooner. Track 8. The album was already long enough. Should have lopped this one off. It kind of progressed and closes out nicely, which was a welcome change. Maybe that's why it was there.
There are far, far too many English electronic albums on this list. And much like 90% of all the other albums of the genre I've listened to from this generator, this album is far too long, far too repetitive and not worth mentioning, let alone listen to. I invariably find myself thinking I'm almost done listening to the album and BAM! I'm only on the 2nd song!
Like a lot of electronic music, this would be better if it were shorter. Still a decent enough album. I think that I have overcome my bias towards electronic music on this rating. Favorite track: "Pearl's Girl."
slog slog slog could i write poetry to this? n
Although "Pearl's Girl" was a minor club hit, this album does not contain the only Underworld song that really matters. No "Born Slippy", no extra stars.
75 minutes / 8 songs = 1 star
First Choice Album!
Lidt halvkedelig 90 techno
Inoffensive but overly long and boring. Would have given it 3 stars but two hours of this is unbearable.
Electronic, techno, progressive, house,break, beat, ambient, down, tempo, experimental.
One the one hand, every single track is a banger... On the downside everysong is at a minimum of twice as long as it needs to be.
Lemppari: Juanita: Kiteless: To Dream Of Love, mutta vaan vikat 3min Vähiten lemppari: Rowla
Nice chill electronic music. I wish there were fewer vocal parts on the album though. Favorite track was probably the last one
Correcto
Cool story behind the name - otherwise it was just techo playing behind me while I worked, with the odd catchy chorus.
Songs were way too long and just basic ass techno. 1.5/5
Club dance music, no thanks.
Too long Ok
Love them, all the releases in 90s are amazing
Cool but didn't grab my attention (while my attention was distracted with work).
I just don’t like this kind of music with its repetitiveness
Very cool! Didn’t know it yet!
Very long chill music
Not a fan of this type of music. 2/5
Pretty good electronic stuff, reminds me of Aphex Twin in places. Sometimes it’s easy to forget the vocals. Solid album, but it got a little repetitive for me in places. 5.5/10
Look my complaints about this are kinda unfair, because of course it's robotic and repetitive and kinda lifeless to me, it's techno. But I didn't like it really and it's fucking long. Parts get the brain tickle I guess.
Was expecting to hate this but didn't. However in the end it was just too repetitive to be enjoyable.
Good beats, enjoyed. I could work to this music. Not sure why techno artists insist on their songs being crazy long though.
I was able to tolerate this as background music while I worked, but this would have been a real struggle after the first few songs if I didn't have something else to concentrate on. It's fine. Reminded me a lot of the Daft Punk album on the list where much of it sounded like it should be the soundtrack to the Mass Effect video game. I didn't dislike it, and I've gotten to the point with techno where I can understand why people who are into the genre would like this album, but I'll never revisit this. 2.4
For the correct audience this is surely a banger. I am not that audience.
Good background music
ambient and slightly minimalist breakbeat goodness. deep pads are paired with infectious drum loops and strange samples. another album i found pretty entertaining, but there's a few tracks that drag on, and some tracks feel like a single loop or riff played over and over for like... 5 minutes. nevertheless it's very solid especially if you're a y2k aesthetic autist like me.
A little rave-ish
Fun techno frel
Did not like this
C'était un album plutôt intéressant. Pas vraiment mon genre d'electro, mais ça valait la peine d'essayer un album qui semble avoir contribué à rendre le style plus populaire. 6.5/10
