Comments:
Apparently not taken from the regular Second Toughest In The Infants album, but it's on my version of it anyway. It suddenly got a lot of attention after being on the soundtrack to the surprise hit movie 'Trainspotting' (which BTW was a very good movie dispite all the hype - go see it), and so they released a different version of the album. The track is a stomping tune, very Underworld-ish with some nonsense vocals chanted over and over, one minute with soft chords and the next with hard beats and not much else, slowly mutating and evolving. I love it. This is what they do better than anyone else.
I was of course referring to the Nuxx version, since that was the one they edited down to a 7" version for the regular single (I never could understand how someone in their right mind could think of mixing down a 10-minute Underworld song into a 3»-minute 7" version without losing quite a bit). The other mixes are quite good as well, but less vocals and 4/4-stomping, and with more breakbeats and such.
