Wow, how did Bill find a song whose intro/chords sound just like Steely Dan's "Midnight Cruiser" so that he could seque from Royal Scam into this? Amazing!
 
This seque actually gave me goosebumps. I'd never heard of Underworld before. Instant 8, at least when played as a seque to Royal Scam. Bill, you are the best.

That was one of the sweetest transitions I've heard on RP.

Ok RPeeps. I've enjoyed the Underworld tracks heard here on RP. Over past 2 years have been expanding electronic genre library (love all genres) Plz recommend Best overall disc for Underworld. Let the debate begin!

Not a favorite Underworld song (nor album) of mine, but excellent they get play here. If you like inspired electronic music, check them out. They aren't just chillout, trace, house, or 80s synth pop (for those that heard them in the 80s) they cover a variety of electronic genres within and between albums. Very creative bunch when it comes to music and imagery (http://www.underworldlive.com). One of my all time favorite artists because they evolve their sound so impressively from album to album.

I finally had a chance to see them in Denver this summer. Originally billed for Red Rocks, but ended up at the Fillmore (Denver). Still a thrill because I thought I'd have to travel NYC/LA/Miami/internationally to see them.

The only one that I have a problem with is the 96,000 repeat of that insipid Led Zeppelin song in the middle there. Other than that, the list is great!

I prefer to call it "simplicity," which is fine.

If more is required, a listener may consider adding something to his or her life (something besides an audio input, that is). Or just wait for the next tune that comes along.

Oh, and speak of the devil, here it is.

Much more listenable than anything on my Dubnobass... disc. Either that, or this just hit me at the right time.

Heh, thought it was the intro to Whitesnake's "here I go again". Wouldn't mind hearing that track here btw. I know it's hair-metal and all but I like it.
