Second Toughest in the Infants

Underworld released this album in 1996, just when they started to sound clearer. The name, rare and strange, came from a six-year-old boy, Rick Smith's nephew, who told a friend. It was a casual comment, but ended up being the album's title.

About the album

Second Toughest in the Infants, according to DoReSol

The sound of Second Toughest in the Infants has that touch of long and rich melodies, as if they were building something carefully. The band no longer hid, they opened up more, and that was noticeable in every song. One of the tracks, Born Slippy (NUXX), became a classic, appeared in the soundtrack of Trainspotting, and became something everyone recognized.

They recorded the album at Lemonworld Studios, in London, between 1994 and 1995. It was a four-piece job, that knew and understood each other. The disc lasted more than an hour, with ten tracks ranging from electronic to ambient, passing through experimental. The band handled the production, and released it through Junior Boy's Own.
