Underworld Album: “Dubnobasswithmyheadman [Japan Bonus CD]”

When I first saw this import edition listed, I got incredibly excited about the new track (I'd never heard--or heard of--"Why Why Why"). I debated for a couple of weeks, and finally broke down and bought the CD without hearing the track first. It was absolutely the right thing to do! The full-length CD is identical to the US version, so I won't describe it here. The mini-disk will play in any player that has a smaller circular depression inside the regular-sized one, so don't be put off by the size. Rez is Rez--once again, I won't describe it. "Why ..." is fabulous. It's long--over ten minutes--and has the same epic quality as many Underworld tracks on any of their albums. It starts sort of slow and trancy, but works up and sustains a great energy from mid-song to the end. The vocals are repeated samples, rather than the more traditional verse/chorus scheme in some of their songs. The best thing I can say is: if you have the extra money, buy this version to replace your US copy (which you can give to someone else to turn them on to this amazing group).
