Underworld - Thing In A Book (1994)

[@craigcaustin]

30 YEARS AGO and I'm still loving this

[@Polyfusia]

This is one of the best electronic tracks ever recorded. Legitimate masterpiece.

[@vegardnordhagen2338]

Agree :)

[@federicoendres]

If not the best. It’s incredible.

I see that type of comment under every track on YT.

[@luckycatphil]

Love this one, there was a moment of trance techno in the 1990's where it wasn't necessarily just a series of peaks and troughs; but whole world journeys that you could groove through :)

[@Polyfusia]

Thats exactly what this sounds like. A world journey. That's why it makes your life flash before your eyes.

[@luckycatphil]

@@Polyfusia I can recommend hunting through the mid-90's mixes of this channel; astonishing back catalogue of real gems kzbin.info . Hope you enjoy

[@freshvesh2751]

I can’t get enough of this masterpiece. Just brings me to this unique headspace that I can’t describe.

Agreed, I had to search far and wide to grab a copy of this over the years, timeless in the collection, always brings a unique joy to my soul.

[@kirjuschaks]

The mother of all trance songs... Endless chilled trance beats till the end of humanity❤

[@tom.labelleseymour1]

My late spouse DJ Sam LaBelle would spin marathons of Underworld. My God, that soundsystem. The Detour was the kind of stand up bar. Huge EAW sound system with those 4 18" subs. Aaaah! The other great part was a grade A crowd of men bopping and or singing along! Jesus.. try finding a gay bar in the States like that anymore. Lol. Sigh..oh well. Oh!.. Their live shows were incredible. Thanks for the memories guys.

This Song after a long night in Frankfurt OMEN driving Home 200 Kilometers ....and then Thing in a Book ;-) ....these moments we will never forget

Complete magic

[@MarcS4R]

20 minutes of epic sounds. had to buy this Track to listen in the best quality again.

[@yank196101]

Listen to tjhis most days as it gives me energy to tackle the day. Come on world, let us do this I say after listening to it.

[@coolbepis9301]

I think this was the first Underworld track I ever heard - still absolutely massive so many years later

[@russellmilton8957]

This is one of their best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ahhh, what mind medicine!!! epic indeed!!

[@ItsPainnz]

if i wasnt already in love with electronic for the past 10 years wtf this is amazing and 20 mins? holy shit

[@bobbydavro6594]

Classic Underworld at their epic best - I love all their tracks, but their 10 to 20 minute specials are electronic out of body experiences!!! Thank you for uploading

[@jeneruda4338]

thank you

[@skyhigh_butterfly]

Agreee!

[@kaynesheenan]

Wow. Huge fan since the 90s but never heard this one

[@Rush_Under]

Until it was released on the dubnobass box set, it was pretty rare. I believe it was only available on a 12" in the UK, and the April Records CD5 import (which was insanely hard to find).

[@daverea372]

Masterpiece, whole song leads up to the sweet outtro...mwah

[@ecor150]

Today's tik tok crowd would never be able to handle this masterpiece

[@self6190]

Timeless tune

[@Jeggasyn]

Such a shame many people haven't heard such a gorgeous piece of music. I would absolutely love to get the reaction from the nation if Radio 1 could pull their finger out their backside and play the whole of this at prime time on a Friday afternoon. It would blow people's minds.

[@WedgePee]

I heard a short version of this, retitled Second Hand, on the album Chilled: 1991-2008. It was one of my favourite childhood albums and I still go back to it a lot.

[@easterislandhead9579]

Second hand is my fav from cafe del mar volume 1. Great track for the decks this

So ahead of their time. Sounds like a combination of System 7 and Robert Leiner.

Exactly.

I thought this gem of a track was called 'Second hand', that's what it's titled on Cafe Del Mar vol. 1.... oh wait i'm a minute into the track now as iwas writing this comment and it has different variations, wow and it goes for 20 mins i see, 'Second hand' is like 8 min or something, will see now how this one pans out then

[@2trancentral]

Yeah, Second Hand is just short edit of this track, that's why it's called like that, they stole it from themselves :)
