Album Description

More than an anthology, Underworld's 1992-2002 'Best of' album includes unreleased tracks as well as some mixes available for the first time on CD. 16 re-mastered tracks from the original. Over two and a half hours of music.

Underworld 1992-2002 is not the full story. Underworld's back catalogue is too vast and rich for that, but it's a gripping one all the same, marking each step along the twisting road from (to paraphrase the Clash) Romford to the world. If Underworld's music has ever chimed with a moment in your life, these are good memories. The best.

Very strong collection........2005-08-06

Underworld...Well if you're reading this you are either a die-hard fan, or soon to be. '92-'02 is a wonderful album and great starter if you don't own an album yet. Plus, it's relatively cheap!
The straight talk is buy "Second Toughest in the Infants" as well-that is a 6 star album. Let these albums sink in slowly, they will stick with you forever. And play it loud.

Fans Should Venture Into This Underworld.......2004-01-20

Unless you have been following the English band's entire career since its formation in the early-90s, and through its radical transformation from rock to ambient trip-hop to intelligent dance music, and hence have every single they've ever made, `1992-2002''s variety of the band's stylistic trends should provide an enjoyable retrospective glance at Underworld's classics.
The highlights on Disc 1 are definitely the trippy 1994 hits `Mmm Skyscraper I Love You' (with otherworldly lyrics - `..and I see Elvis, and I hear God on the phone...'- and a muted, eerily perpetual beat); `Dirty Epic` (the complexity of this dub track rivals the best of Orbital and q-ziq); and `Dark & Long' (close your eyes, pretend the world just exploded and you're floating through space - the impact of this long and amazing track).
Those songs led to the opening track of Disc 2: the incredibly dark and energetic `Cowgirl' astounds with its ever-increasing layers of rhythm and melody. 1994 track `Born Slippy' is a modern dance classic, the monotonous lyrics have become the symbol of Danny Boyle's druggie hit `Trainspotting'. The film's extended soundtrack belongs to Underworld's composition, which masterfully represents the addled mind of an addict. `Push Upstairs', from Beacoup Fish, is a classy dance track, visualized very well in an amazing video everyone should check out - it dilutes the song's pretentiousness with fuzzy gorgeous landscape images; by itself `Push Upstairs' wears itself out after three minutes. `Moaner', on the other hand, benefits from its regularity - it starts off with an instrumental accelerating beat that doesn't let up until the last second, and then starts from the beginning with the supplement of emotionally charged lyrics. `Moaner' would be a craze at any club.
The rest of the tracks do not particularly stand out, but they do emphasize the quality of Underworld's highlights. Complex and stunningly vivid, `1992-2002' is Underworld's reminder that they are one of the most complex and gifted trios in contemporary dance music.

Disc 1 Provides New Content ; Disc 2 Fails to Do So.......2004-01-07

I wish Underworld had simply released only the 1st disc, and charged less for the set. Disc 1 is great, as it offers several rare tracks; Big Mouth, Dirty, mmm Skyscraper I Love You, & Spikee. These songs are all great, and make the CD worth purchasing... or at least purchasing used. Disc 2, however, is less exciting. It contains 9 tracks, 4 of which are either identical or slightly modified copies of songs from Beaucoup Fish. CD 2 is basically filled with slight variations on songs that are already in any Underworld fan's collection. I wish that instead of re-releasing a bunch of songs that people already have, Underworld had released more rare material. If anything, I think that the original songs are better than the remixes. In general, the originals tend to have longer and more complex lyrics.

Ten years of Magnificent Music sampled on 2 CDs........2004-01-03

I love this CD Anthology. It showcases some of the Underworld's best songs. It also has some very hard to find tracks like the 12 minute plus Spikee, the beautifully sad & mellow 8 ball, the original version of Dirty and the harmonica driven Big Mouth. It also has classic Underworld tunes like King of Snake, Jumbo, Born Slippy Nuxx, Dirty Epic, Dark Train, and Mmm Skyscraper I love you.

Moaner, Born Slippy Nuxx & Push Upstairs are all unique versions. Each is slightly different than the album/single versions. This makes another reason to buy this CD set. All of the songs on this 2 CD set are wonderful. If you are curious about the Underworld, buy this Anthology.

11 years and still going strong..........2003-12-28

As the end of 2003 approaches, Underworld release their first compilation. Sixteen tracks separated on two discs. Eleven of the tracks have appeared on previous studio albums, while the remaining five have never appeared on a studio album at all (until this one). The compilation starts off with "Bigmouth", which makes prodigious use of the harmonica following along side a sycopated beat and a thumping bass. Later on, there's "Spikee", which is 12 minutes, 30 seconds long. A chugging "locomotive" melody is the best I can describe it, which is why I like it so much. On the second disc, there's an extended version of "Push Upstairs" (with additional lyrics)which I think is better than the original version found on "Beaucoup Fish". That, in turn, is followed by an extended version of "Moaner", which isn't that much better than the original (they should've left the last three minutes off, if you know what I mean). Still, "Moaner" is a great track. These are some of the highlights of "1992 - 2002". My only complaint is that "Dinosaur Adventure 3D" wasn't included. After all, it was released as a single (then again, it was released in 2003, hence, that's why it wasn't included). In any case, this compilation is a good start for the casual listener, and even if you aren't, you should buy this anyway for the five tracks not released on any prior album.

The hits in a small cardboard wallet.......2006-06-24

For Underworld fans, this is a great buy for the usual hits such as: Born Slippy Nuxx, Pearl's Girl, Jumbo, King Of Snake, Cowgirl, and more, along with some rare tracks such as: Spikee & Big Mouth. This has always been a 2-disc set that I have listened to over and over again and it never gets old or boring, but gets better and better through the different motions each song gives you. There is nothing special about the Limited Edition though (I bought it anyway so I had it, heh) as it only comes with an interesting fold-out poster, otherwise, the CD's are the same and don't have any extra tracks...Just get the standard jewel case 2-CD set.

This is Beautiful music, but the DVD isn't watchable........2004-01-03

I love this CD Anthology. It showcases some of the Underworld's best songs. It also has some very hard to find tracks like the 12 minute plus Spikee, the beautifully sad & mellow 8 ball, an unreleased extended version of Push Upstairs and the harmonica driven Big Mouth. All of the songs on this 2 CD set are wonderful. If you are curious about the Underworld or you are a die hard, buy this Anthology.

But do not buy it for the DVD if you live in North America. The DVD is region 2 encoded. That is the only reason I give this version 4 out of 5 stars. Without a region free DVD player, chances are you won't be able to watch it. Which is really too bad because it contains the Videos for Jumbo and Push Upstairs. Both are excellent videos and both are hard to come by. If you can view region 2 encoded DVDs, then buy this version of the Anthology. The DVD is worth the extra money. If you can't view region 2 stuff, I would recommend getting the regular version of this Anthology set. It is significantly cheaper.

If you enjoy the Underworld, this is a great way to experience their music. This is a wonderful sample of the music they have made over the past decade. Put this CD in, sit back and let it take you where it takes you. The Underworld doesn't create songs so much as they create beautiful art that you can listen to.
