OK, there's little doubting the band never really reached the glorious high of their debut 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' throughout their career. Their dubious dabblings with drum and bass, a few albums which were just....hmm...ok... and then they return with an album almost as great as their debut, the pretty fabulous 'Barking'.
My jaw dropped when I saw this tracklisting - because not on here, or on the 3-CD deluxe version, do we have one of their greatest singles.... where the hell is Beautiful Burnout? All I can say about this collection is... nice artwork, but best sidestep this and just buy Dubnobass and Barking.

I don't know why underworld keep doing this. This collection has got to be the most pointless so far. A bunch of radio edits of songs that were always 10 times better in their original formats. Not that the Anthology is much better, it's a 3 disc set, but Disk 1 gives far too much time to their first 2 years, then disk 2 picks a mere 7 songs from the other 18 years of their career, and disk 3 is about the worst selection of Underworld B sides you could get.
This is what the tracklisting should be:
Disk 1: Singles
1. Dark Train
2. mmm Skyscraper I Love You
3. Rez
4. Juanita Kiteless (Live version)
5. Born Slippy NUXX
6. Pearl's Girl
7. Jumbo
8. King of Snake
9. Two Months Off
10. Dinosaur Adventure 3D
11. Beautiful Burnout
12. Crocodile
13. Diamond Jigsaw
14. Scribble
(and yes you can get all that on one disk, if you use some of the (slightly) shorter versions, eg: Rez, Dark Train.
Disk 2: B Sides
1. The Hump
2. Spikee
3. Born Slippy (Original Mix)
4. Cherry Pie
5. Deep Arch
6. Tin There
7. Oich Oich
8. 8 Ball
9. Parc
10. 02-02-02
11. Phonestrap (2)
12. Downpipe
13. The First Note Is Silent
14. Simple Peal
Does anyone agree?
PS: I absolutely love Underworld, I only want a collection that does them true credit.

Choose techno. Choose Electro. Choose Epico House. Choose a rumbling bassline. Choose Underworld.
Replacing 2003's now incomplete collection, "A Collection" and "Anthology" are, in effect two parts of the same whole. I despair though, of the release strategy for this. To obtain every song on this wonderful release, you have to buy both the single and triple CD versions. The new, post-Barking, 2011 recordings, including "The First Note Is Silent", the Eno colloboration "Bee Bop Hurry", and the download-only, unheralded 2009 single "Downpipe", are only on the single disc, remixed/edited "Collection". The single disc version is also the only place you can find any version of "King of Snake".
For a more comprehensive overview, you need to plump for the full length mixes and broadband version that is triple-set of "Anthology". Or, if you're like me, you have to buy them both. To the casual fan, it doesn't really matter which one you go for. They've all got "Born Slippy" on.
Certainly, there's wonderful bursts of chemically-enjoyable breathless pop with "Scribble", the under-stated slink of "Crocodile", and following a mid decade absence of five years from the record scene - punctuated only by the odd vinyl, Japanese only live album, or soundtrack release - we drift back to "Two Months Off". "A Collection" concentrates on the big numbers, "King of Snake", "Jumbo" (bafflingly, a miniscule hit at the time, the pop equivalent of a 'sleeper hit'), all capture the way a big night might sound the morning after. Not the chemical rush, the crash of eyes, the brush of skin, the moment your nose fills with the smell of her midnight hair as you stare to the ceiling, and you dance, dance, dance, and wonder could this be love? Could this be The One? Who knows?
The words surround and enscapulate, capture the confusion, the waitress, the red and yellow, the lager, the lager, acid ted, blonde boy and this is now and here and all happens around in your ears.And if you are listening to this on your iPhone at the station, or walking down the road, or even doing the washing up, whilst our bodies may be here, in Meatspace, we are all somewhere else, dancing in our minds, grabbing a cab home with a stranger or a lover, the music, and the gentle sound of a Sunday morning. And this is where, like The Shamen and so many others, where Pop met the dancefloor.
Certainly at one point, Underworld, like New Order, Depeche Mode, Orbital, and everyone else, changed - and became dance music for people that didn't go dancing until dawn anymore. But did this hurt us? No. You cannot remain the same forever : let that crown of thorns sit on the heads of AC/DC , who have remain frozen in some kind of musical amber since 1977. The joy, the power of this, the importance of this is not just how they were, but also how they are now, how they have tracked their lives, changed and evolved and grown up and become something else.
As "A Collection" races backwards, the listener is faced with the odd sense of the record speeding up - faster, more intense, as we race to the end. But it doesn't really matter. The cutting, sawing, heart racing "Cowgirl" doesn't mean anything, but in this rush of noise and confusion and clusterfudging, it means everything.
In either case, the music is unquestionably strong. "A Collection" is more for the pop fan looking for a short and quick hit of glorious pop.
