You're forgetting that nearly all of "Dubnobass..." was written when
Emerson wasn't yet around. Plus, the Born Slippy EP (excepting Telematic)
was also written without him. Darren contributed his dance sensibilities to
the group, of course, and I don't honestly believe UW would be who they are
if Emerson had never been part of the group. But it's my opinion that Rick
and Karl had learned all they could from Darren and vice-versa. Underworld
will live on!

p.s. - and Darren's DJ sets *do* suck. So did his collaboration track with
Sasha.... Send in the hounds!
