From the album Beaucoup Fish (1999)
Life, kid, suck, drink from the box, the juice kicks up.
yeah.
bruce lee.
High energy and repetitive, Bruce Lee basically sounds like it was recorded on a manufacturing line. With one verse repeated again and again, Underworld performs an exercise in rhythm and variations on a theme.
Using brute force, this thing will pound its way into your head, but for a form of House music, strangely you won’t feel like dancing. So just sit back and let your brain take a beating.
[audio:070612BruceLee.mp3]What I love: That cold, industrialized beat.
Bonus Separated at Birth entry
I’ve been listening to this song for roughly eight years now, but it wasn’t until I posted the above that I noticed that the beat I’m so fond of bears a striking resemblance to Michael Jackson’s Speed Demon from Bad (1987).
Once you’ve listened to Bruce Lee, check out this sample and then tell me it doesn’t sound a little “inspired by.”
