Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants CD/2LP
RELEASES ON THE 16/5/25
"Second Toughest In the Infants" came three years after Underworld's potent debut "Dubnobasswithmyheadman".
Opening with an opulent triptych called Juanita, Kiteless and To Dream Of Love - three tracks which segue seamlessly into each other and form a quite splendid 16-minute Underworld-a-thon - the trio certainly weren't afraid to indulge when making this LP.
The next track, Banstyle / Sappys Curry seems to confirm this, weighing in at an impressive 15 minutes, though this time nose-diving into some atmospheric, oceanic drum and bass a la LTJ Bukem.
Throughout the rest of the album, Underworld alternate between assuaging their raging club beats with warm washes of sound and beatless splashes of colour, and offering more straight-up heavyweight club fodder.
About this product: this reissue is available on CD and 2LP formats.
The LP is pressed on black vinyl with half-speed mastering.
