Underworld - Dark & Long (Drift 2 Dark Train)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Released in the summer of 1994, one could argue that Dark Train was Underworld’s first proper anthem. Where previous singles Mmm… Skyscraper I Love You, Rez and Cowgirl had provided the soundtrack to countless nights in dank basements and underground clubs, Dark Train drove a hole directly through the walls and parked itself on the main dance floor. It quickly crossed from techno world and into the super clubs - those buttoned up, shiny new sonic meccas that sprang up all over the UK in the mid ’90s. Once there, it began to shape the sounds around it, an irrepressible, irresistible virus in the mainstream. Often imitated over the years, Dark Train was never equalled.
Ostensibly a remix of Dark & Long, in reality this was always very much its own thing. Completely reimagined from the original, it was an irrepressible groove, a signal to move and an instruction to ride the train with zero regard for the destination. Eighteen months after release and club ubiquity, the track gained a post-club afterlife in Danny Boyle’s 1996 film Trainspotting. There, it formed part of an unforgettable juxtaposition in the film’s cold turkey scene - the claustrophobic, bedroom bound visuals offset by the relentless elation of the music.
This new mix of Dark Train builds on Underworld’s recent live performances of the track. For this exclusive release, Underworld have reimagined the original mix in the Pigshed as if it were being played out, and we were stood together in field or concert hall, riding that train together.
-----------------
Over on the other side...
If Dark Train is the sound of an endless 2am wreathed in heavy strobes and sweet smoke, Most ‘Ospitable is the total contrast.
It is sunrise over the city, streets almost silent as errant wildlife retreats into its safe corners. It is the moon still visible in new bright daylight. Serene like the glistening sea lapping pebbles on the shore; like a carpet of dew underfoot. Like six minutes of ecstatic peace. One of Underworld’s first forays into pure ambient sound, it has been unavailable on vinyl since the original 12” release in 1994 as part of the Dark and Long single package.

Finally one of the underrated greatest 90s dance floor tracks ever by the brilliant Underworld Dark and long
Even in 2024 superb
Best dance track of all-time for me
Underworld are fucking insane live ...
Yeah man. 2002 Big Day Out Sydney Australia boiler room! Carl Cox finished it off then. Shut up and take my money!
Alexandra Palace 2017 was amazing. I really liked the more ambient stuff Smith was doing at the beginning before the main event, for whoever saw it too. I'd love to hear more of that in the future.
im kinda playing amongus with him rn not to flex😩
When did you start using "..."
"I don’t feel the sickness yet, but it’s in the mail, that’s for sure. I’m in the junky limbo at the moment. Too ill to sleep, too tired to stay awake, but the sickness is on its way."
a great movie - and a great soundtrack
Great to see the glimpses of Darren Emerson in the video as well 😀
I miss his influence.
@@satyricon65 Underworld were at their best when he was with them
@@burhanumer420 That's not to take away from their brilliance post-DE, but yes I agree, those were mighty years, the 90s.
最高！大好き♡またTOKYOでLIVEして欲しい！
You never forget your first Underworld live show. So special.
Or your second. Or your third...
Mine was in 2011 at the Gurtenfestival in Bern, Switzerland. I sadly missed their live gig in 2009 at the Montreux Jazz festival so I said to myself I won’t miss the next one! I remember Karl Hyde singing « under a full moon » while under a real full moon! 🌕😂
Tribal gathering 1995 otmoor park
Drum Club @ Heaven, 1994 I think. Epic as it gets
Just happened for me this year in San Francisco. Cannot even describe it
Piece of art 🎨
John Digweed finished with this in Belfast last November, an incredible "you had to be there" moment.
Best tune whilst spotting trains...
Or going cold turkey.
Sasha and Digweed radio one special… epic dj set
To me, Underworld are the Pink Floyd of EDM
Absolutely
That’s a pretty high standard. And a stellar compliment.
Fuck. Never thought about it, but you're not wrong. My favorite bands (in no particular order) are Underworld, Faithless, Tool, Pink Floyd, and Nils Frahm. All of them have a certain complexity I've never put together until just now. Thanks for this. You bring light in.
For shure 👍❤️🙌
I would say RUSH or E.L.O. for me The Orb is like Pink Floyd...Orbital are The Doors... back to roots in these strange days, high peak of humanity was from 60's to 90's
Underworld became the soundtrack of my COVID19 lockdown experience. During the height of the pandemic, while I was stuck at home, sheltering in place and watching the exponential rise of COVID cases and deaths worldwide, I listened to a lot of Underworld. This song in particular takes me back to the heyday of the COVID19 pandemic. 😌
Pucci would be proud
I was about to pick you up on your choice of words with 'heyday*' regarding a global pandemic, but I take it you were looking at it from a personal perspective and your own active consumption of Underworld. Mind you, the virus itself was popular in the terms of its widespread contraction, so it still works there. I therefore correct myself and commend you on an excellent choice of word!
*"the period of a person's or thing's greatest success, popularity, activity, or vigour."
Delicate and thoughtful rework. Perfect.
Amazing re-work of the original. Doesn't tamper with the core of what makes the track such a euphoric one to begin with, but instead fleshes it out further and explores some cool additions to the mix. Can't wait for the vinyl, wish I got the Adidas jacket!
Spent many nights with underworld. Nuff said
Это поосто шедевр !!!
For me the Best Underworld Track 😇🙌💫✌️
Superb sound unique arreigment intensifies the power of one of underworld best athems #Longlive Underworld ! 1996-2025... #Raveon
Definition of a timeless track
Probably my favourite dance track ever. This mix is sublime; reverent to the original, but with a touch more clarity & pop to the elements. I could dance to a 24hr mix of this! Thanks to Underworld for the memories.
What a wonderful piece of future history right here!
