Underworld - Pizza for Eggs

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

Out of all the Riverrun EPs, this is definitely the most musically diverse. It kicks off with two of the dubbiest dubs to ever dubplate, with “Food a Ready” emphasising the Underworld while “Back in the Fears” pushes the dub to the max, then it all veers dramatically leftfield with the cybertribal chant of “Vanilla Monkey”, followed by the proverbial Underworld downtempo piano loop jam (with extra-epic seasoning) on “Ancient Phat Farm Coat”, then settles in to the brooding almost noir-ish Rhodes-driven poem “Play Pig” to conclude the whole affair. Sheer brilliance in a concise 28 minute mix.🙏💙 Oh, and at some point there’s a distorted vibraphone arpeggio for about 30 seconds, allegedly known as “Flatz” 😁

9:09....take us to Bristol. Massive Attack and Tricky style..nice. This whole group of recordings is SUPREME! The "I'm a Big Sister......." sections being my favorite anything ever.

I remember listening to this in my friends ride on the way home and couldn't figure out who we were jamming too, so I asked and he said Underworld...I was instantly like "of course".

Yes - One of my favorites.

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

Who would ever have thought that Underworld would release such a flawless slice of pure dub! And like all of their genre excursions, they do it with glorious aplomb.

[@max_mnn]

UnderworldFan do you know why Underworld never released all this amazing stuff in albums? Anyways Thank You For This Treasures

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

They were _technically_ released on “albums”… but unfortunately those “albums” - EPs really - were of the purely-digital download-only variety, and were never available in CD or vinyl format. I’d say the chances of a physical copy eventually emerging from Rick’s basement are pretty high… a 4 disc box set featuring each EP plus “The Misterons Mix”, with bonus outtakes and alternate mixes to pad out each disc. That would be truly divine.

[@davidacave]

I need a track listing. I think that the first track is called "food ah ready"

[@Jqliao]

Yeah, it's is.

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

Here ya go: 00:00 Food a Ready 06:48 Back in the Fears 09:10 Vanilla Monkey 13:43 Flatz 14:16 Ancient Phat Farm Coat 22:19 Play Pig Not sure why they bothered labelling “Flatz” as a discrete track rather than just a nameless segue between “Monkey” and “Farm Coat”, but I bet it was Rick’s crazy idea 😅

[@EvilEddtheRed]

Love this. Are the separate tracks available anywhere?

[@microphonemon]

This playlist has a lot of them: kzbin.info/aero/PLGuXxhdkw-jIDKQ1MQhiR2n_tnpNLIARf&si=A2_utn36CIGIJGcX There’s also an extended version of Back in the Fears: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3S6f4aIm7SEkJYsi=xOZTEN08kyKkwlvn And an extended Food A Ready: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmmTlYpsga2Zjq8si=8SRewL85PMkVstdC A super-extended Ancient Phat Farm Coat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOoh6mPqdp8q8Usi=Iqk5nozzxgq_p40R An extended Play Pig: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYTCZGOErKyUjNEsi=OrgzHt_4vz9xh29t And finally, Vanilla Monkey: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqTgp5jjdyWoJosi=0P7lt2zAf8Q7AYwU As for Flatz, I don’t know what they were thinking listing that as a distinct segment, because it’s basically just a 30-second transition! Funnily enough though they did occasionally feature an ‘extended’ (lol) version in their live sets.

[@EvilEddtheRed]

@@microphonemon That's really generous, thanks for sharing.

you can use youtube to mp3 converter. It's free, just google it.

[@David-bh3lh]

Where*

[@asmodeus58XX]

So, just where is "Flatz" here? Is it that part that sounds like a kalimba and lasts less than a minute?

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

Yeah I think you're pretty much spot on, it's the very short twinkly section starting at roughly 12:37, basically just a glorified segue between "Vanilla Monkey" and "Ancient Phat Farm Coat". I think they have performed longer versions of the "track" live - if it even warrants the descriptor "track", haha 😅 - though I can't recall any particular instances at the moment. _Kinda_ sorts vaguely similar to "Witness" from "Lovely Broken Thing", but that at least lasts longer than a minute and is a coda rather than an ostensible track in itself. Honestly I don't know why they bothered, they could've just treated that section as part of "Vanilla Monkey"... the fact they didn't perhaps implies the existence of a fully-fledged standalone studio rendition of "Flatz" lurking on a discarded hard drive in a dilapidated box in Rick's basement. One of the countless alluring mysteries of Underworld, along with others like why was that mix of "Cowgirl" called the "Winjer" mix, and what was its connection to the later track "Winjer", or why do several of their song titles end in "Peal", or why on Earth neither "Bamboo" nor "5 Foot" ever had a proper release! 😅

[@kotidze]

Underworld never had one weak tune Never ever I really think they are not appreciated enough People adore shit acts like Radiohead or the Cure but fail to see true treasures

[@kotidze]

@d R you are absolutely correct and I must apologise for using rather strong language. I was a little drunk would be my guess. First half of Kid A is fun to listen to but it gets classic radiohead towards the end. Never listened to Hail to the Thief tho, thanks for the tip. Radiohead's main problem is the lack of any originality imo. PS: bruce Lee is not that bad actually

[@kotidze]

@d R diamond jigsaw and moon in water are also pure gold Most of Barking is not up to their very high standards I totally agree with you

[@jg8678]

@@kotidzeLack of originality? Odd thought. I guess they do use electricity & instruments - & I agree that's a bit tired & overdone - otherwise I don't see it...
