Do you remember Big Bear 1996? Up on the mountain, hands in the air, oxygen tanks for altitude techno.
lyrics
Big Bear
It’s not easy to say no
I remember once
A comment
I don’t mind
I can’t do anything else
It’s the only way
Big Bear
Here comes the bus
Here comes the walker
Here comes the messages
Here comes the opening
Here comes the traffic jam
The Black
The White
The Silver
Here comes a mouth
Here comes the hand in pocket
Fishing for a wallet
Here comes obsession
The particular placement of objects on a table
Here comes a STAR
Here comes a spoonful
Everything
Not a single cloud in the sky

Hold it between your fingers
It’s a…
Delicate thing
Put it in your mouth
Say nothing
Stop thinking
Foot tapping
Favourite
Favourite ball in a bucket
The weight of it
Practise it
Light
Light
Light
Light
Light
There are bees on the walls
Browsers at the buffet of love
Fleets of taxis to take us anywhere we want to go
For a price
No price is too much

Zip it up
In the hart of the matter
I heard screaming
I heard roaring
I heard car horns
I heard traffic lights
I heard drunks howling
I heard the river
I heard music from rooftops
I heard nightclub security guards being abused
I heard smokers whispering in doorways
I heard silence
I heard you looking

If touring was possible, these are the sounds I’d be chilling out to in my bus bunk after getting off stage from another night of banging techno. (Karl Hyde/Underworld). Underworld
THREE is fantastic! ‘Bloom’ is pure, unpredictable, relentless sonic nectar. The Necks are an animal machine, painters of landscapes that make my head feel good. - (Karl Hyde - Underworld) Underworld
