Stiamo ballando, io cerco lei, lei cerca lui. Lei non riesce ad attirare la sua attenzione, io ne approfitto e mi avvicino. Ad un tratto parte una canzone, una canzone che ho già sentito... Ma forse di più, forse è una canzone che ogni ragazzo ha già nell'anima, una canzone che mette tutti d'accordo. E a questo punto a lei non importa più di lui... Io sono un ragazzo, lei una ragazza, intorno a noi altri ragazzi... La musica si muove intorno a noi, muove gli spazi, li allunga e li accorcia, le facce si avvicinano e senza rendermene conto mi ritrovo la sua lingua in bocca e le sue mani che mi accarezzano il corpo. Prima timidamente, poi più sciolto la bacio e la coccolo.

Serata finita, lei sparita, io "sad homecoming" mi avvio, ripensando a quelle emozioni.

L'indomani, dopo la scuola, mi fiondo a cercare un cd degli Underworld che contenga "Born Slippy" e compro questa limited edition. A casa mi sparo tutti e due i cd, di botto, uno dopo l'altro per due volte di seguito. Questo è un disco che puoi ascoltare da solo, ballando, ad una festa, facendo l'amore...
Gli Underworld non sono solo una delle icone più importanti nel panorama techno/elettronico degli anni '90, sono anche uno dei pochi gruppi che sa regalare emozioni nuove ad ogni ascolto, dei veri geni, nonostante il genere di natura molto commerciale. Questa è una raccolta dei loro brani più importanti, da "Rez" a "Cowgirl", a "Dirty Epic" fino a "Two Months Off".

Chi ha ascoltato almeno una volta nella vita "Born Slippy" (e sono pochi quelli che non l'hanno mai fatto) se n'è senz'altro innamorato... Io da quella sera ho un motivo in più per amarla. E che Caz abbia pietà della mia anima.

06   Dirty Epic (09:59)

...dead alive...
...auto...
...dental mint drug...

sweet in winter
sweet in the rain
shake well before use
she said,
"you never touch me anymore this way"

connector-in
receiver-out
you let me in through the backdoor

...loosen up...
...it's like i'm vomiting...
...all night dancing...
...let him start...
...drip...

ride the sainted rythms on the midnight train to romford

ride the sainted rythms

sweet in winter
sweet in the rain
shake well before use
she said,
"you never touch me anymore this way"

(oh no)
connector...

(you're a)
connector...

i'm so dirty
and the light it blinds my eyes

you're oh so dirty
and the light it blinds my eyes

here comes christ on crutches

...ten cents to boot...
...check him undercover...
...huh? who else-

"call me wet trampoline,"
she said today
but i was too busy with my head
shake well before use
she said,
"but you never touch me anymore"
i was busy listening for phonesex
coming through the back door

in her skin tight trunks
and we all went
mental
and dancing

...ah yes, did you get in...
...tell the others did you get in...
...look in the dirty erotic fantasy...
...huh...
...hey...
...big thoughts...

i get my kicks on channel six...
to the off-peak electricity

and the light blinds my eyes
and i feel dirty

hey-ohhhoooooo-ohhh

and the light blinds my eyes
and i feel so

shaken in my faith

here comes christ on crutches

and here comes another god (here comes another god)
like a buffalo thunder with a smell of sugar
and a velvet tongue and designer voodoo
but i got phonesex to see me through
the emptiness in my 501s
freeze dried in my new religion
and my teeth stuffed back in my head

i get my kicks on channel six...

i get my kicks on channel six
the light it blinds my eyes
and i feel so dirty
(i feel so dirty)
here comes christ on crutches
(here comes christ on crutches)

i will not be confused (will not be confused)

you left me confused

i will not be confused (with another man)

...dirty dirty dirty...
...second fizzles...
...suck on cockroaches...

this pressure of opinions

lighten up
listen to your eyes you said
but all i could see was doris day
and a bigscreen satellite
disappearing down the tubehole in farringdon st.
with whiplash-willy the motor-psycho

and the light it blinds my eyes

and the light it burns my eyes

i get my kicks on channel six...

07   Dark & Long (Dark Train) (10:53)

Thunder thunder lightning ahead...long
Kiss you kiss you dark and long
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Thunder thunder lightning
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long

Thunder thunder lightning ahead...long
Kiss you kiss you dark and long...long

Me I'm just a waitress she said
I went and bought a new head she said
I look at you I believe in you she said
Screaming into the eye of the lens
I want to smash it up
I want to break it down
I want a wall of tears...to wash away

Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Thunder thunder lightning
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long

Filled with tainted girls and motel frills
What a laugh
You was done up there mate

Thunder thunder lightning ahead
I could kiss you dark and long
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long

Shout your love
The stars are black
The church is sweet
My skin is hot
Thunder thunder lightning ahead
Now I kiss you dark and long
Shout your love
