In the Guardian newspaper February 24, 2006, Karl Hyde said: "We used to go out drinking in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were written on that night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that. I was inspired by Lou Reed's New York album and Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles. I was into flash photography as well, so I was walking around Soho with a notebook and camera, just observing things. In those days I'd open the book whenever a musical idea inspired me. Rick [smith] came up with a rhythm and I started singing over it. The vocals were done in one take. When I lost my place, I'd repeat the same line; that's why it goes, 'lager, lager, lager, lager.' The first time we played it live, people raised their lager cans and I was horrified because I was still deep into alcoholism. It was never meant to be a drinking anthem; it was a cry for help. Now I don't mind. Why Born Slippy? It was a greyhound we won money on."

That's a wicked part of the interview, that completely changes the song for me... I miss Underworld. They haven't been the same since Darren Emerson left... Ack I love "Jumbo" as well. Some great tracks in their earlier career.

 

Any recommendations as far as their new stuff goes?

naw i'm like you...

the underworld one is such a great track... it sounds like a mid90 london rave party.. it sounds like wet streets, it sounds like love.

classic

Hwat? Born Slippy .NUXX is basically the end of this thread, as far as "epic" dance tracks goes... The thing about "epic", is like... For Born Slippy, you "had to be there", living in that time, and then remember that track coming out, and then it's like the whole world implodes in your dick and you become Zeus.

 

I think all epic dance tracks are like that and have to be like that, else, every Tiesto et al track would be in this thread, as those type of club tracks ALL imply some sort of epicness, like it's the most awesome buildup and anthem to epic life ever.

 

But then again, there is this (if saving the world isn't epic, I dunno what is...):

Insomnia seems to always come back in my life, and it's pretty epic if that hook comes on in da club, but really... not that amazing of a dance track, per se.

 

Yah, mangz..... Context is so important. I dunno if any dance track can stand on its own as epic... I'm trying to remember some other epic shit, but all that comes to mind is this (context!):

Less on the dreamy side of things and more on the kick-some-faces-in side, but... I used to blast this track so hard in high school:

And holy fuck, this is still gold:

This is inherently epic because of the musical structure (not trolling, totally serious)

Yeah man, FUCK!

 

 

More late 90s/early 00s classics (I didn't personally hear these years afterword in college, most of these videos took me ages to acquire online)
