Second Toughest in the Infants (Reissue)

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.
