SummersRadio™ Music News + Rare Track! Underworld!

SummersRadio™ Music News! Underworld - 'Rez'/ 'Why Why Why' Underworld have just announced that they will be the official Music Directors of the opening ceremonies for London's 2012 Summer Olympic games! And - they're also releasing two new compilations next month!

The duo will work with British filmmaker and producer Danny Boyle (who's been appointed as the Artistic Director of the opening ceremonies) and will be responsible for all the music featured in the three hour ceremony happening on July 27th (my birthday!) 2012. Underworld have collaborated with Danny Boyle numerous times over the years - starting with his 1996 film Trainspotting which prominently featured their songs 'Born Slippy' and 'Dark Train'. Underworld have also provided music for his films 'A Life Less Ordinary', 'The Beach' and 'Sunshine' - and last year they collaborated on the British National Theatre production of 'Frankenstein'.

Karl Hyde says that their goal will be 'to leave people with a musical memory of the show rather than a purely visual one. It's a great honour to be asked to do this and one we're taking very seriously'. I'm not a big fan of the Olympic games - having endured many of the associated hassles of hosting the games first hand here in Vancouver last year - but I suspect that I'll still be tuning in to this one just for the music!

Before I get into the tracklist details of their two new compilations let's revisit one of their finest songs - this is 'Rez'... Enjoy!



Underworld are releasing two new compilations on January 23rd - one called 'Anthology 1992 - 2012' - and one called 'A Collection'. 'A Collection' will be a single disc set featuring 16 songs spanning their lengthy career - including three new '2011 Edits' of older tracks. 'Anthology 1992 - 2012' is essentially an update of their 2003 double cd compilation '1992 - 2002' but with a bit of a twist. The tracklisting has been changed - leaving out some of their lesser known songs in favor of newer singles - and a third bonus disc of previously unreleased tracks and rarities has been added!

Here's the artwork and tracklisting for 'A Collection':

                   

"A Collection" tracklist:

1. The First Note Is Silent (with High Contrast & Tiesto)
2. Scribble
3. Beebop Hurry (Karl Hyde and Brian Eno)
4. Downpipe (with Mark Knight and D. Ramirez)
5. Crocodile
6. To Heal
7. Two Months Off
8. Jumbo
9. Born Slippy (Nuxx)

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Underworld!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Underworld - 'Dark And Long' (Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix) Well how wonderful it is to find that one of my all time favorite club tunes has just been remixed! Underworld have just released 'Dark And Long' featuring brand new mixes from Christian Smith this week! There are two remixes - the 'Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Remix' and the 'Christian Smith Hypnotica Dub' - and the single is released on Stockholm's Tronic label.

'Dark And Long' first appeared as the opening track on Underworld's epic 'dubnobasswithmyheadman' album in 1993. It was first released as a single in 1994 in the U.K. although surprisingly it peaked at only #57 on the singles chart. It was released on three separate 12" singles and two cd singles in the U.K. featuring a total of five remixes and a couple of edits.

The song later reached a much wider audience  when it was featured prominently in the 1996 film 'Trainspotting'. The 'Dark Train' mix is played as Ewan McGregor's character Mark is going through heroin withdrawal - the scene where the baby is crawling on the ceiling and turns it's head around a full 360 degrees like in The Exorcist!

So it's hard to top a classic but Christian Smith punches it up just enough to sound updated without ruining any of the perfect bits - this is the 'Christian Smith Tronic Treatment Mix' of Underworld's 'Dark And Long'... Enjoy!
