Underworld Master Class (OT)
Probably because "Trainspotting 2" is coming out soon, I was drawn to play Underworld. The first song on "Second Toughest in the Infants" is Juanita/Kiteless/To Dream of Love." It's a little long-winded, but the first section is just the most masterful display of a track using the entire frequency spectrum. As the parts accrete, new melodies and percussion arrive, and there's plenty of room for each, amazingly. It's like some endlessly expanding geometric pattern.
And for those who know: How is that bass sound achieved in the first part of the song? I can listen to a guitar or a bass and know from experience how the sound was made — oh, yeah, they compressed the shit out of the DI signal and also recorded off-center on probably an Ampeg B15 (which is mostly bluffing, because that's what EVERYBODY does). But what makes that bass sound? Is it the envelope? Is it the EQ? Is it a certain synth? I'm getting better, but I've got a long way to go.

That was a pretty sweet listen. My only familiarity with Underworld was from their work on the 2012 Summer Olympic Opening Ceremonies. I downloaded the soundtrack just for a couple of their tracks. Caliban's Dream is one of the most hypnotic, beautiful pieces I've heard by any artist from any time period. News to check out more of their material, for sure. Love that sound.
Have been back in the gym and this works well there as regards zoning past the mind's objection to the pain.
The bass is from a Waldorf Pulse if I remember correctly.
Track 2, Sappy's Curry, is one of my favorite songs of all time. That album is great.
!!!
Wow. Well, I guess I'll have to get one of those then. I don't suppose I can trick Nave into doing this?
I must have listened to beaucoup fish a million times in 99. Cups is just epic
First album was by far the best IMO.
Best gig I ever went to was Underworld at Leeds University in about 96.
I just saw them do Dubnobass front to back here in Luxembourg in a tiny ass club. Was freaking amazing.
Jealous of this.
