Dubnobasswithmyheadman (stylised as dubnobasswithmyheadman) is the third studio album by British electronic music group Underworld, released in the UK on Junior Boy's Own on 24 January 1994.[1][2] It was the first Underworld album after the 1980s version of the band had made the transition from synthpop to techno and progressive house and is also the first album to feature Darren Emerson as a band member, ushering in the 'MK2' phase of the band, which continued until Emerson's departure in 2001.

Background[edit]
The first version of Underworld had ended after a 1989 tour of North America as the support act to Eurythmics. After the tour Karl Hyde had stayed in the US for two months to work at Prince's Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis as a session musician, and then toured with Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie.[3] When Hyde returned to the UK he found his former bandmate Rick Smith had been collaborating on dance tracks with a teenage DJ named Darren Emerson, a friend of Hyde's brother-in-law, at Hyde and Smith's studio in Romford: Emerson had been eager to learn how to use the equipment in a recording studio, and in turn Smith had been keen to have somebody who could introduce him to electronic music and club culture which he had grown increasingly interested in.[3][4] The three men started to swap ideas and create songs, resulting in a series of singles released throughout 1992 and 1993 under the names Underworld and Lemon Interrupt.
Composition[edit]
Underworld's approach to songwriting was very fluid, and based on the idea that everything was valid. Hyde told Melody Maker, 'We're grabbing elements from all different times and areas of music and taking them somewhere else. We don't want to simply regurgitate the past, and even though we're using vocals and guitars, we're trying to do it in new ways. We're trying to find ways which makes those elements relevant to today. By not following a blueprint, we're able to base a song on acoustic guitar, or we can do a pure techno track, based on an oscillator. In the past, Rick and I have often been excited by a poem or a film or something and thought, 'That's inspired us to do a great reggae tune but we can't because we're not in a reggae band'. Now we would think, 'F*** yes, let's do it'.' Smith added, 'There's a lot of cutting and pasting, especially with the vocals. Something which is recorded for one track one day may well end up on three different tracks a few months down the line. Nothing is fixed. They're just points for us to jump off of.'[4]
Many of Hyde's lyrics were written during his sojourn in the US: 'Dark and Long' was intended to evoke the open prairies of Minnesota that he had visited while working in Minneapolis, and 'Mmm Skyscraper.. I Love You' was inspired by walking around Greenwich Village in New York City. Hyde stated that the biggest influences at the time on his writing style had been Lou Reed's 1989 album New York, and playwright Sam Shepard's autobiography Motel Chronicles.[3]
Artwork[edit]
Tomato, the art design collective that includes Underworld's Rick Smith and Karl Hyde, designed the artwork for Dubnobasswithmyheadman. It features black and white type that has been 'multiplied, smeared, and overlaid' so much that it is nearly unreadable, alongside a 'bold symbol consisting of a fractured handprint inside a broken circle'.[5][6] The artwork was originally intended for Tomato's book Mmm.. Skyscraper I Love You: A Typographic Journal of New York, published in 1994.[7]
According to the authors of The Greatest Album Covers of All Time, the cover 'set a new standard of presentation for subsequent Dance albums'.[7] In Graphic Design: A New History, Stephen Eskilson cites the cover as a notable example of the 'expressive, chaotic graphics' that developed in the 1990s, a design style he calls 'grunge'.[8] In an article published in the journal Substance Paul Zelevansky says that 'the packaging.. replays the visual poetry of the 1960s and '70s and fast forwards to the alchemical transformations of computer graphics packages'.[5]
The album artwork also features excerpts of lyrics to the band's 1996 hit Born Slippy .NUXX, a track which was released two years after the album. Download monster hunter 4 ultimate iso free.
Karl Hyde told Uncut magazine in 2014 that the album's title had come from him misreading Rick Smith's writing on a cassette tape box.[9]

Dubnobasswithmyheadman received widespread acclaim from music critics. Writing in Melody Maker, a year before he left to co-found the specialist dance music magazine Muzik, Ben Turner proclaimed that 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman is the most important album since The Stone Roses and the best since Screamadelica .. While others are content to go techno techno techno techno [a reference to the lyrics of 'No Limit' by 2 Unlimited, a UK No. 1 hit the previous year], Underworld have taken a step back, utilising Karl Hyde and Rick Smith's experience in rock music and throwing it full in the face of 22-year-old DJ, Darren Emerson. The result is utterly contemporary, the sound of the moment, beautifully capturing melodic techno, deranged lyricism, historic bass and lead guitars and astounding walls of rhythm .. This breathtaking hybrid marks the moment that club culture finally comes of age and beckons to everyone.'[18]NME said, 'Before Underworld's startling remixes for Björk and Orbital last year, no-one would've put money on ex-members of .. popsters Freur making the first visionary record of '94 .. The sheer weight of ideas on offer and the constant variance of sounds and textures add up to a coherent, cogent whole, not a series of jack-tracks sequenced together, nor a series of hits with filler thrown in .. By writing 'songs'—albeit playful, deranged ones—Underworld have come up with a solution for the facelessness that blights some dance music.'[13]Vox wrote that 'apart from the lumbering blasphemy of 'Dirt Epic' [sic], the only non-event here, it's all go-with-the-flow stuff laced with intricacies .. Attractive, undulating and with moments of innovation, this Underworld offering transcends many of the limitations of its genre.'[17]
John Bush from AllMusic gave the album 5 out of 5 stars saying, 'From the beginning of the first track 'Dark & Long', Underworld's focus on production is clear, with songwriting coming in a distant second', also adding that 'Underworld are truly a multi-genre group'.[10] Adie Nunn from Drowned in Sound gave the album a perfect 10/10 score describing it as 'An album indie kids and pop kids could like as well as the electronic elite, whilst the band retained their credibility'.[19] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine gave it 4 out of 5 stars saying that 'It stands as their greatest overall contribution to electronic music' and also stating that 'The album blends Acid House, Techno and Dub into a refined, epic headrush'.[15]

In 2014, the album was reissued on vinyl, Blu-Ray, and 2-CD and 5-CD expanded editions. Reviewing the reissue, Q described the album as 'superb' and proposed that Hyde and Smith's previous 14 years of making music 'was why the uncannily undated Dubnobasswithmyheadman still exudes such multidimensional sophistication'.[23]Uncut praised the material on the extra four discs, but felt that the original album was still Underworld's key record, claiming that Hyde's lyrical vision was able to make Romford sound as exotic as the USA he had seen on his travels, and that this was the reason why 'twenty years later, the results of that crazy belief still sound like dance music's dirtiest epic'.[9]

The original version of 'Dirty' is almost a minute longer, at 11:14. The remastered version cuts a coda that contained a sample from 'Dolls' Polyphony' from the soundtrack to the anime film Akira.
Early prototype[edit]
On 3 October 2008 a DAT from 1993 surfaced on Underworld's official messageboard, which featured a different running order, some extended mixes and three previously unreleased songs: 'Big Meat Show', 'Organ' and 'Can You Feel Me', an outtake from previous sessions. The poster of the DAT called it 'just a sampling of the type of songs the band was creating, showing any potential label that was interested ..'[37]

When at first you don't succeed..Hyde and Smith began their musical partnership with the Kraftwerk and reggae-inspired sounds of while studying together at Cardiff Art College. In 1983 they recorded two albums for CBS Records with a proto-electroclash new romantic band whose name was a graphic squiggle, which (this being a relatively unknown band and many years before Prince became 'Love Symbol') was soon given a pronunciation, Freur..doot doot .Freur disbanded in 1986. In 1987 members of Freur created the band Underworld and tried a more guitar-orientated funky electropop sound 'Underneath the Radar'and Change the Weather.After a break (to concentrate on, among other things, art/design project Tomato), Hyde and Smith recruited Essex DJ Darren Emerson, and after several minor releases and remixes as Lemon Interupt and Steppin' Razor readopted the Underworld moniker.
The trio's first full-length, Dubnobasswithmyheadman, was released in 1993 to rave reviews and is still considered a landmark piece of work today. It spawned several hit singles ('Dark & Long', 'Cowgirl', 'Dirty Epic') and was followed a couple years later by the 'Born Slippy' single and their second album, Second Toughest In The Infants (1996). The unusual name of the album as released derives from a comment made by Smith's six-year old nephew Simon Prosser when asked on his progress at school. Both the single and the album showed Underworld maturing as a trio, mixing elements of techno, house, drum and bass and pop music to spectacular effect.
Underworld's well-praised remixography also continued to grow, including artists such as Björk, Saint Etienne, Simply Red, Massive Attack and Leftfield. After licensing a remix of 'Born Slippy' for the 1996 cult classic film Trainspotting, Underworld gained instant worldwide fame and found themselves touring furiously, presenting their renowned, high-energy live act worldwide. Their fame continued to run high through the release of Beaucoup Fish (1999) and Everything, Everything (2000), after which time Emerson left the group to concentrate on his DJ career.
The duo continued on, releasing the album A Hundred Days Off in 2002 and an anthology release, 1992–2002 in 2003. From 2004–2006, they took a break from the traditional album/tour cycle, and focused on soundtrack work and online digital EP releases as part of The RiverRun Project.In late 2005 they released two compilations of new songs with accompanying photographs on Underworld Live, Lovely Broken Thing and Pizza for Eggs. These were only released online, june 2006, they released their third instalment, I'm a Big Sister, and I'm a Girl, and I'm a Princess, and This Is My Horse. July 2006, they released a special retrospective mix, called The Misterons Mix, which is comprised of tracks from the three previous Riverrun releases.
Underworld added DJ Darren Price to their live lineup during this period. In 2006, Underworld and Gabriel Yared composed the music score to Anthony Minghella's film Breaking and Entering. Underworld 's latest album, Oblivion with Bells, was released on October 16th, 2007. Underworld have been experimenting and selling recordings of their live performance at the venue, 15 minutes after the show had finished, the first time they did this was a 3xCD set called Live in Tokyo in 2005. A full world tour has been announced to support the new studio album, illness prevented the planned kick off time but they've been catching up in 2008, with their tour dates in the United States, Europe, and Japan. This summer they'll be doing a number of festivals around the globe-see their mypage.
On May 13, 2010, the band released a track called 'Scribble' for download on the band's site.The track shares elements with 'You Do Scribble', an unreleased song which they featured many times since 2005 in their live performance shows. The group also released a video clip for 'Scribble' on YouTube. It has been commercially released on June 28 as the lead single from their latest album. On June 7, 2010, Underworld announced the details of their eighth studio album, Barking, which was released on September 13, 2010 in the UK. The album features collaborations with German trance producer Paul van Dyk and British house artists Mark Knight and D. Ramirez, among others.
In December 2010 it was announced that Underworld will be reuniting with Trainspotting director Danny Boyle to write the musical score for his production of Frankenstein at the Royal National Theatre. Though there are no plans yet to make the soundtrack available for purchase, the production will be broadcast as a part of National Theatre Live on the 17 March 2011.
In addition to their music, Hyde and Smith are also founding members of a graphic design company, Tomato, which has done high-profile work for clients around the world as well as providing art for all of Underworld's releases. Hyde, along with John Warwicker of Tomato, has published two typographic journals as Underworld Print: Mmm.. Skyscraper, I Love You (1994) and In The Belly Of Saint Paul (2003). Underworld Print began publishing the monthly Book of Jam in October 2007, which focuses on a different theme in each issue.

Great electronic album!
A personal favourite which reminds of misspent youth, if you catch my drift?
