James. Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 That's actually one of the hardest questions I've ever been asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 If the answer isn't Hefner, Dylan or Cohen, I'm not playing. Who or what is .NUXX? Am I no longer cool? Was I ever? Can I seek solace in the warm, welsh embrace of Finners? I've always wanted a night out in Aberystwyth. Seeing as Wales is just one homogenous place, I assume you know it will Finbar?

Finnegan Posted 25 January 2013 Author Share Posted 25 January 2013 Oh they're old bands? I was out of touch even back then. They're two of the most famous dance tracks from the 90s. You probably haven't heard them because it's not mod revival and you'd have sweat your bollocks off wearing an overpriced suit in a rave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. Posted 25 January 2013 Share Posted 25 January 2013 I've given it some thought. If we're talking solely about the actual music then I would say Insomnia is a superior tune, particularly the full length version. Lovely gradual build up, great lyrics and then a phenomenal break down. Will never fail to ruin a dancefloor, just as much today as before. But if we're talking about iconic music, absolutely timeless tracks that will never be forgotten then it's got to be Born Slippy. No matter where you are every single time that tune gets dropped it unites the crowd. You only need to hear the first couple of bars and that's enough. I've been at raves, festivals, clubs and the reaction is always the same. Not many songs can have that impact. At the same time I sort of resent it because I think it distracted people from some of Underworld's best music. It's nowhere near their best tune, stuff like Cups, Pearl's Girl, the first track of secondtoughestintheinfants whatever it's called, etc. All far superior. So in summary if I had to choose I don't know, just glad they were both made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 25 January 2013 Author Share Posted 25 January 2013 See, this is pretty much what I said. It's not so much about the tune and the intricacies of it while you're sat listening to it at home. Born Slippy's going to lose every time, it's far more simplistic. But as a club record it's fupping second to none even now. Would agree with the point about the rest of Underworld's catalogue, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
