Rez (1993) |
Spikee / Dogman Go Woof (1993) |
Rez is a non-album track by Underworld, originally released in 1993 in the UK. It became one of their biggest club/live anthems despite the fact it could not be found on an album. However, it did appear on many compilations, b-sides, and even appeared on a bonus disc for Second Toughest in the Infants (1996). The first promo release of the single was pressed onto pink vinyl, and is highly collectible as it has another non-album track, Why, Why, Why. Due to this track's obscurity, there are, incidentally, many bootlegs of it. The more common release has "Cowgirl" on it. There is also a limited white vinyl pressing available in the US.

[edit] Notes
- The text "CLOUD HAT REMEMBER THIS" is etched into the run-out groove of the 'COLLECT 002' 12".
- Unofficial bootleg remixes of 'Rez' / 'Cowgirl' by breakz DJ's 'Atomic Hooligan' were deemed good enough by Underworld's record label and lead to their inclusion as remixers of Born Slippy .NUXX 2003 in 2003
- 'The White Island EP' (CD & 2x12") by Salt Tank features a track inspired by Underworld's 'Rez'. 'Rezmorize', as the name suggests, is an homage to Underworld's famous instrumental track.
- Underworld's label mates 'Futureshock', were also inspired by 'Rez's b-side, 'Why, Why, Why', which is sampled heavily in 'The Question', and was released on the JBO label offshoot 'Fuju'.
[edit] Appearances
- Rez appears on at numerous dance compilations - too many to list.
- Why, Why, Why appears on the re-released Japanese bonus 3cm disc for Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1993).
- Why, Why, Why appears on Various: Volume 8 as an 5:15 edit.
- Why, Why, Why appears on Various: Wasted - The Best of Volume 1 as an 8:20 remix incorrectly labelled 'Change'.
