This review is from: Pearls Girl (8 Tracks) (Audio CD)

this album is a classic. those of you that see all the songs named pearls girl remixed in some and expect 4 versions of the same song, dont worry, its not one of those minor alteration reemixes you get with some music groups, you will end up thinking each song is wholly new, thanks to someones remixing abilities.

all i can say about this album that will sum it all up is: become familiar with the "continue" button on yer cd player!!!

This review is from: Pearls Girl (8 Tracks) (Audio CD)

It may be an EP, but what you get for your money is actually a whole album's worth of UW material. And not just any material, this EP contains some of the best techno to come from the british trio (now reduced to duo). It starts out with a mix of Pearls girl, called Tin There, but as is often the case with UW mixes of thier own work, it sounds nothing at all like the original track. It's a very fast paced, breakbeat laden techno frenzy that just builds and builds in the distortion, into an incredible climax. One of the most energetic techno tracks I've ever heard. The 14996 mix is a more subdued version with little vocal samples of the original thrown in, not the best track of this ep. Puppies is a whole other world again, deep reverbed synths and a really cool vocoder effect on Karl's voice make this a very dreamy and emotional track. Oich Oich is absolutely one of my favourite tracks of all time. Very ambient and very carefully built and layered with synths, voice samples, lyrics and a laid back housebeat mix into a dreamlike world of sound and emotion. Cherrie Pie starts with the intro from Rowla (from Second Toughest...) but quickly transforms into another wonderful techno epic with a very dark and hypnotising sound. Then there's the actual Pearl's Girl (and a shorter edit version) which still remains one of UW's best and most popular tracks, hard breakbeats, great lyrics, great atmosphere. The last two tracks, Mosiac and Deep arch are wonderfully ambient instrumental tracks, with again the careful buildup that is so reminiscent of UW's style. All in all, this ep has both incredible power, and incredible atmosphere and makes me think wether some people who call UW "watered down music" have actually listened to any of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Idiosyncratic, but worthy, experimental EP, April 23 2001

This review is from: Pearls Girl (8 Tracks) (Audio CD)

Underworld's PEARL'S GIRL, a nine-track EP released in 1996, forms a bridge behind the previous album, SECOND TOUGHEST IN THE INFANTS, and their 1998 breakthrough BEAUCOUP FISH. Although an EP, PEARL'S GIRL features over an hour of music, often odd, sometimes captivating, and always energetic.

The EP features four versions of the title track "Pearl's Girl." The edit and album versions are the best, featuring the wild vocals of Karl May. The "Tin There" and "14996 Version" mixes are much more dancey, and lack vocals. The various other tracks are okay. "Cherry Pie" is perhaps the best. "Deep Arch" makes no sense whatsoever.

Just about as good as BEAUCOUP FISH, but at the price of an EP, PEARL'S GIRL offers some good tunes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great Underworld dessert...
This EP feels like an extension of the Underworld LP that preceeded it, "Second Toughest In The Infants". Read more
