Underworld – Born Slippy

So apparently the story goes that this was originally a b side..... Anyone know that release at all please?

if anyone is looking for a copy i might be able to help

i’m wondering why did they split it up into two cd’s

Wow of a track! What can you say about this tune? Massive back in the mid 90's. I mean, it really didn't get much bigger than this!

Original Mix is quite possibly one of the best tracks I've ever heard after 14+ years of crate digging... Absolute sorcery from 95!!!!

I've already left a comment about a release of .NUXX, but I do just want to mention how astounding this track is, since it's my favourite dance tune, ever.

What makes this track so genius is how little it has and how much it does with it. Most tracks you'll hear will require massive breakdowns or some kind of build to get everyone moving, and this doesn't have that. All it has is a driving kick drum and some sick-ass percussion, with some synths on the side.

And yet, it's crafted so perfectly that just from the drums alone, even without Hyde, this song gets everyone moving. So many years on, I still cannot place what makes this track work. It's a kick drum and percussion. If it were any other song by any other artist, I'd be sat down waiting for the song to get going. But here, this song, in its nearly 12 minute entirety, has me up and moving the whole way through. How, using such little instrumentation, these guys were able to do that, is beyond me. And as a drummer myself, I have mad respect for them for taking my home instrument and creating art like this.

No wonder Underworld's my favourite dance act.

I own these records, with this difference: on the yellow labels it says on both sides 45 rpm (e 45, f 45). Same Matrix/runout code and same text and number on the labels, though. Anyone knows anything about this? I don’t seem to find this version on Discogs.

Born Slippy and .NUXX are not different mixes of one track, they are two totally different tracks.

This record has three tracks according to the artwork, and they are: 1) Born Slippy, 2) .NUXX, and 3) TELEMATIC.

"Born Slippy" here is the jewel for me, ecstatic breakbeat techno for the mind or for the dance floor. The whole record is ace, though.

Can someone please add the hand no.d/Karl-drawn w/l 7"s (x7)?

Everyone loves Born Slippy .NUXX, but it's available lots of places. The real gem here is the Alex Reece remix of Banstyle. Great late 90's intelligent D&B remix. Never fails to take me back. For me, it's the sound of Tokyo on a warm Sunday afternoon in the late 90s. A good place to be.
