Underworld To Give Second Toughest In The Infants A Deluxe Reissue

Music

Underworld are set to follow last years reissue of Dubnobasswithmyheadman with a similar treatment for their classic second album Second Toughest in the Infants. Released in March, 1996, the album consolidated Underworld's place in dance music history. More varied than their debut, it saw the trio flirt with breakbeats and deep, pulsating techno, with Karl Hyde's cut n' paste lyrical evocations of Essex, drug visions, alcoholism, snatched euphoria, humdrum day jobs and paranoid comedowns as good an insight into the mid 90s cultural landscape – in both form and content- as any documentary of the time.

The album is set to be reissued over a number of formats this coming November. Extensive extra material is being thrown in the mix, including a fair selection of unreleased tracks. Here's what you get
