Underworld - Jumbo

This is the vinyl i have and if like me, you're after the sublime Futureshock mix, i'd advise getting another press of it. This Futureshock mix fades out at the end make it awkward to mix out of.

This has to rank as Futureshock's best output (along with the Music;Response remix they did for the Chemical Brothers). Superb stabs, nice pads and a lovely bassline make this one zip along. I think that this would still stand up today, for me, one of Underworlds forgotten classics.

As far as I'm aware this is the only release to contain the full-length versions of the 'Sugar Hit' mix by the Jedi's / Jedi Knights and the remix by Futureshock. Almost every other release of 'Jumbo' seems to contain versions of these mixes edited down in length by a couple of minutes.

Jumbo is classic originality, starting with the short, comedical conversation in the background. The two men are talking about a nice vest, costs about 9 dolla, from zellers. Judging by the ambience, most likely a fishing vest. Anyways, this conversation gives way to the great ambient sound of Underworld. Such originality make this song great, even though it is old. I recently purchased Beaucoup fish from a pawn shop for "6 dollas", to quote the artists accent.
Anyways, This song is good mostly because it is original, but the ambience displays great skills. Good song.
