Underworld ‎– Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld – Second Toughest in the Infants (CD)

Underworld deliver Second Toughest in the Infants, a landmark album in electronic music that helped define the sound of 1990s techno, ambient house, and progressive club culture.

Originally released in 1996, the album showcases the duo’s ability to blend hypnotic electronic grooves with evolving, cinematic structures. Long-form compositions unfold gradually, layering driving rhythms, spoken-word fragments, and atmospheric synth textures into immersive soundscapes designed for both club systems and deep listening.

From the sprawling opener “Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream Of Love” to the iconic “Pearls Girl,” the album moves with a fluid, continuous energy—balancing intensity and restraint while pushing electronic music into more expansive, emotional territory.

A cornerstone release in UK electronic music, Second Toughest in the Infants remains a defining statement of ambition and atmosphere.
