Emily's Albums A to Z

Listened: Friday June 18

• Despite being a long time Underworld fan, Dubnobasswithmyheadman was the last album of theirs I acquired – odd because it’s the first album Karl Hyde and Rick Smith released as Underworld (though they had released 2 prior albums as Freur).
• I enjoy it, but it’s definitely on the upswing of their evolution to the smashing Underworld years, since they aren’t to “smashing” yet. This album is quite mellow and almost hushed compared to their later style. It’s only on the singles like Dirty Epic/Cowgirl where they present some remixes that help me understand how they got to the Beaucoup Fish Underworld era.
