Stop being overly defensive and re-read what I wrote, the last sentence in
particular. It should be clear I agree with you. I think the 1st 2
Underworld albums (previous incarnation) demonstrate their talent but are
highly compromised. On the other hand _dubnobasswithmyheadman_ is
all-around excellent and probably is true to their original goal of years
ago, before trying to please major labels.
I have most of Underworld's material, including the hard-to-find (in the
US) "Spikee" / "Dogman go Woof". I do not have any Lemon Interrupt
material, except the one track on the JBO comp. What did they release
under the name Lemon Interrupt?
I'm interested in finding any of the Lemon Interrupt material, and
Underworld's "Skyscraper, I Love You" on CDS or 12". Email me privately
if you want to part with a copy or know someone who does.
