Review - Amazon.com essential recording :
Rave dance parties had been a phenomenon in London and its rural satellites for years before this song came along, but "Born Slippy" took a growing fad and turned it into a genuine movement. Its inclusion on the Trainspotting soundtrack only broadened its influence, casting an even wider net and bringing peripheral followers of electronic music into the fold. The song makes use of an ingenious vocal, fuzzy and loose, looping phrases of cadence around irresistible BPMs that could inspire the most bashful wallflower to raid the dance floor. The song's influence is such that some have claimed it to be the unassailable pinnacle of electronica. While such statements are debatable, it's instructional to realize that the genre concept "electronica" only congealed when "Born Slippy" astronomically expanded the all-around influence of electronic music. In effect, it's already a classic. --Matthew Cooke Customer review - 2002-12-11
- Short and sweetWhile I don't own this, I've heard all of what's on here. And based on the single alone, the Born Slippy single is worth every penny. Basically this little CD contains Underworld's well known classic. Actually this little beauty was my first exposure into Underworld and what got me hooked. In truth, Born Slippy is a pretty simple song. A simple synth riff play wrapped around Karl Hyde's staccato delivery with his patanted stream of conciousness lyrics. Added later into the song is bass heavy beat that in of itself holds most of the song till its climax and ending. Born Slippy as whole shows Underworld's skill as producers and song writers, knowing how to hook a listener with something so simple but something so incredible. Essential for any techno and Underworld fan.

- walk or run with this!so i just purchased my second born slippy single,i lost the first one at the gym and had to drive 20 miles to get the other, dammit....it is so great!!! if you enjoy really great trance music that keeps going, and going and coming down and going, especially while you work out this is it!! the original born slippy is exciting too yes..but 2. nuxx (deep pan), is so wonderful, and 100% different, as is the dark + long (dark train) version...if you run or walk a treadmill get it, burn it whatever;) and tell me is it not great to get pumped on!!

- mind-blowing for a single...Woo-hoo!!! This particular single of Underworld's is probably the best I've heard so far. The second track (the "Deep Pan" remix) is probably the most intense track on the album. It's just screaming to be in a movie also (much like Dark + Long, which as everyone has mentioned here, was used in "Trainspotting".) Darren Price, another very fine electronic artist, with his two remixes on this single, just underscores the whole beauty of this album. In other words, a very good EP, I highly recommend picking this album up if you have the means, to paraphrase Ferris Bueller :).

- the bounciest, trippingest track on pressed aluminum, everI'm an Underworld fan, but this song is the one that seduced me first. and no doubt about it... it was an aural seduction. =) pop this baby in and transport yourself to a world of boundless energy and hypnotic synth chords with the right touch of melancholy laid over a catchy pounding bass line. the remixes are decent, too

- I love this song! Everyone should listen to this song!In my opinion, this is one of the best rave songs out there right now! The song is so cool. It first starts off really slow but then it picks up and gets and gets faster. By the end of the song, it is pulsating with rhythm. I love this song so much that I have basically forced a lot of my friends to listen to this song and they it is really awesome too. Go out and buy this song!
