Saxondale Posted 25 January 2013 Posted 25 January 2013 NUXX, just. Actually I don't know. No. I can't choose. EDIT: Nah, fvck it. USC! USC!
Saxondale Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Top Faithless anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuyAF4vtdUk
Danizen Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Two absolute classics but I'd go with .NUXX. ^That Sandstorm video is epic!
shen Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 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! I agree with all of that, but my fondness of Underworld sways this one for me. Born Slippy it is!
MikeyT Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 .NUXX or Insomnia? I must be getting old cos I haven't the foggiest of what you're talking about.
Finnegan Posted 26 January 2013 Author Posted 26 January 2013 Sandstorm. Nineties Eurotrance, possibly the best of all cheese. I must be getting old cos I haven't the foggiest of what you're talking about. You're actually the prime age to have appreciated both when they were new, perhaps a pinch too young, but only just. Think you might be younger than James. It's not about your age it's just about your cultural preferences. Born Slippy .NUXX charted at #2 in the UK in 96 while Insomnia was a #1 the same year.
sphericalfox Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Both are pretty mainstream to be fair. But dependant on the illicit nature of the evening, I'd go with Born Slippy, easier to dance to.
Finnegan Posted 26 January 2013 Author Posted 26 January 2013 Both are pretty mainstream to be fair. ... well, obviously.
sphericalfox Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Born Slippy live in Japan. After watching this I'd say for me there's a winner http://youtu.be/fvc-zfK8G38
Danizen Posted 26 January 2013 Posted 26 January 2013 Never been good with genres. It's all 'Dance' to me.
Rocket-Ron Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Insomnia for me. By a mile Never seen anyone play the spoons to Born Slippy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvLaziUsTo&feature=player_embedded
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Insomnia but although love both Faithless and Underworld, the latter are much better
Sparky Posted 2 February 2014 Posted 2 February 2014 Insomnia for me, wasn't a massive faithless fan then seen them at a festival and they were immense.
