Underworld - dark and long (dark train)

[@BrendanStoodley]

Why do many people consider electronic genres just to be noise? A record like this is so artistic and deep that I feel certain segments of Trance/House are probably the closest relatives to Classical Music in existence. There is no reliance here on clichéd, banal lyrics or over-stylised pop pin-up personalities. This is purely about sound, which creates an atmosphere and influences mood. It evokes feeling without even saying that was the objective. I love it.

[@fraumustermann3875]

es geht um schwingung und diverse räume in die man getragen wird, ob klassik, techno, rock, mozart, vivaldi, es geht immer um energie, was man ist und was man draus macht

[@smurftarget]

fuck em' let em' serve with reverbs and. fucks'up lyrics and enjoy the show

[@twentytwo138]

Don't forget the hypnotic constant rhythm that puts you into trance, or a meditative state, and it can give you an adrenaline rush and hype of energy. It's how the music started in the first place, there's something primal and tribal in this kind of music. It's more than just listening to good sounds, it's an internal experience.

[@ihatepeacocks]

i'm standing outside as snow is falling. i'm listening to dark train on repeat. I haven't moved in 30 minutes. but I am not cold. That is what this track does for me.

[@fraumustermann3875]

ich könnte das nicht ohne bewegen, aber ja ohne frieren, das geht es ist ohne zeit und raum, es ist freiflug in eine ander ebene, eine die befreit mit sehr guten vibes

Ultimate driving through the night tune. Particular the last 100km toward the Calais to Dove ferry on the french side. Perfect rolling motorway, no speed cameras, no cops, no traffic.........just the road, the wind, the tune.........))))))))))))

[@noskov5]

2024 , still listening to this track!

[@TheCentinal]

hey guys, i'm almost 60 and still really enjoy good quality music like this.Used to go to illegal Raves just to get to hear good sounds. Very few ever get to the commercal side of things , so you never hear them. Now with modern technoligy you can see and hear them when ever you want to.How good is youtube.HOW good is this band.Thanks for the posting.

[@microst99]

One of those rare pieces of music that will forever live and be ahead of its time.

[@amyparra1881]

One of my absolute favorite Underworld tracks. The beat, the drive, an emotion, and a nod to the lyrics

[@eldorado303]

back in the days, we would dance to stuff like this, all night long, often smiling, floating away. coming home in the morning, to later, reminisce about the party and the tracks played, telling our mates about the great time we had. yeah.

[@peterellis9105]

They don't make them like this anymore! One of the best dance tracks ever.

[@YazMH]

Underworld still present in this little town in my good old Mexico, saludos, ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡arriba Underworld!!!!!!!

[@LouiseAttaque888]

¡Y arriba México! ♥

[@jmvd9686]

Arriba mejico papaaa

[@enotdetcelfer]

I have hands down listened to this song more times than any other song. It's looped through so many productive and halcyon days, drives to work and play... This song is my brainbeat; Hours and days and years... it is my clockcycle.

[@edhaas3887]

Never gets old. Still incredible, and many EDM acts could learn something from this kind of pacing.

[@grahammillie]

One of the smoothest tracks ever, quality build up, unforgettable synth. House music as it should be. Sublime.

[@realcodechris]

I love this song, its pure brillaint. First heard it when watching the film 'Trainspotting' which is equally brillaint. I often listen to this track when driving at night or on long journeys. Underworld songs are great for long journeys, they average out about 8 minutes a song :D

[@piffiiiiiiit]

20 years old and still as epic as the day the track was cut

[@piffiiiiiiit]

No but tastes and trends obviously change. I'll often hear a song from say the 80s or 90s that was a favourite at the time and think, "WTF was I thinking?"

[@BigBoss1982]

If something is good, will be good for eternity :) ppl are mentioned here 80's , 90's songs that they r still good. Bro, look on Bethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Bach etc. :) songs from years ago !!!! And they still kicks asses :)

[@henkverhaeren3759]

24 years and still epic

[@mankyiel1]

wtf 20 years!

[@SmartCookie2022]

Now 27 years ago from today and still sounding fresh as ever!!

[@monymacor]

Flawless, Incredible composition, Hypnotic tune! When this track is done i feel completly reloaded.

[@loulouw55]

c'est "le morceau" qui m'a fait aimé la trance il y a de cela plus de 10 ans et je l'aime toujours autant !! masterpiece of underworld

[@kanervatie]

Anything so simple, but yet so good. The space voices and string chords are in perfect mix.

[@karmakoma9743]

This was an awesome track after coming home from a rave/afterhours, laying down in bed but you can't sleep cause you're high as a kite still. This would help me wind down and relax.

[@naturalbornchiller158]

Get ya completely. Probs not the best song to try and sleep to haha

[@di_mtbpointon2484]

After hours line, pill, spliff and you'd still be going well into midday tomorrow, miss those days so much

[@KarlosTheMighty]

high as kite ... made my day :D Anyway you are right, I am always putting these kind of stuff to the playlist at 3AM when we are making party in the our flat.

[@spacecat_visiones]

why miss them lady? RAVE ON! :)

[@sloppyjo4560]

[@simonnoon3228]

Simple and complicated at the same time, Underworld at their best, like the sublime soundtrack to the opening ceremony of London 2012. National treasures.

[@Harbinger28567]

There's nothing quite like underworld. They've got that unique sound and style with the singer's distinctive voice.

[@musicallyanimated]

Call this genre what you want, this is one of the biggest dance anthems ever. Underworld may make rubbish now but this song is a shining example of what they're capable of. within and outside of this movie:) keep it up lads, in whatever form!

[@ЦвяткоМитов-х5л]

I don't feel the sickness yet, but it's in the post. That's for sure. I'm in the junkie limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep. Too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way. Sweat, chills, nausea. Pain and craving. A need like nothing else I've ever known will soon take hold of me. It's on its way.

[@csturdiv]

Of all of my favorite Underworld tracks, this is by far my most favorite. I still remember hearing this live when Underworld came to Chicago back in the late 90s.

[@sacsayhuaman1]

That's one of my greatest favourites. I still remember how proud I was after passing exam at my studies and reworded/rewarded my happiness and ease of mind. Learning efforts sometimes need some lump of sugar like horses after a good race...

[@HustlerPumpkin]

this song is like a high all by itself. Makes me feel so relaxed, I love it.

[@matamatomatahari]

underworld forever forever forever. makes tunes of my heart.

Their greatest moment and one of my top 10 favourite tunes of all time.

The best track ever!! made by artist ; Underworld !!!! It's totally FANTASTIC this rythm!! I wish Underworld made much more, of these great tracks!!!

[@foxbusterivan]

love this track...its just hypnotic and helps you forget everything else around you for a moment....brings back such good memories and is a great co-pilot on long journeys....thanks for posting this track

[@nedenolmasi]

[@psykkomancz]

The first track I heard from Underworld, in love to their music since

[@Tekzoned]

Im glad I finally saw Trainspotting... this tune is one of the most beautiful and addictive I have ever heard!

[@hibanukun]

This song is like something deeper and wiser than silence... Really beautiful and my favorite from Underworld

[@outpost31737]

Incredibly simple track consisting of just two chords but the sound design really sets it off.

[@alesdubsky3219]

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TOURS OF LIFE

[@KLOHSEF]

oh my god this is so hypnotizing. absolutely love it when in train in cold night and watching from the window those dark forrests ... :-)

[@izusblur]

the Trainspotting soundtrack is legendary, and this just further proves it

[@ArcadeChameleon]

Okay, I don't mean to comment again, but this is honestly one of the most epic pieces of electronic music I've ever heard.....it's like euphoria and space tangled up....a good pair of headphones / speakers are needed for this track to hear its full effects. :)

[@PsynceFiction]

It is indeed the best Underworld song. It's so hypnotizing. Amazing! I think I even have it on 12". Pure GEM!

[@MikeAbrams-ps5fu]

My favourite Underworld track. In my opinion it's better than Born Slippy. An absolute electronic masterpiece.

[@MrSupernova111]

WOW!! Stunning! I forgot about this song. I used to listen to it around the same time this video was posted. I miss those days so much. to think that to this day much of the great trance and other techno music of the early/ mid 200s never made it mainstream. Kids have no taste.

[@Sentinal77]

Underworld really did revolutionizethe dance music scene in 1996 with the singles for trainspotting. This and born slippy are time tested classics that will NEVER grow old for me. to this day I still hear these anthems played in the clubs all over the world!!!! Brilliant!!!

[@nweisel]

Love this track - it really takes me back. Can't hear it without seeing the baby on the ceiling, though!

[@PsynceFiction]

This is without a doubt the BEST tune by Underworld. It's a classic! I had some amazing times on this track!

[@pandi1979]

I deeply miss 90's

[@Chickenassable]

No bullshit my friend's. The original Zach on here. I running my 87' Porsche 964 with a 3.3 Turbo. My friend Josh just hit this track on this youtube. I told him to put this in. But this song and what I am doing right now just hits so right in so many ways..All I got to say is..."Breath that night air in, stay alive out there, life is beautiful in so many ways". -Zach & Josh.

This is trance - classic trance, which start dying around '01...! Go on discogs for example...

I was thrilled when I found out it was a real track, not something made for the film. Top notch film, top notch soundtrack. Job's a good 'un!

[@s_patzz8212]

Brendan, you are not alone. This is the ultimate expression of simplicity as its most effective cultural expression. Good quality techno recapitulates the counterpoint of Bach and Handel of the Baroque era. The Man With No Name is a perfect example.What we have here is the emotive expression of a generation, and it is distinct from quick-fix retail indulgence.
