“Born Slippy .NUXX” is a song by British electronic music group Underworld. It was first released as the B-side to “Born Slippy”, in May 1995. The fragmented lyrics, by vocalist Karl Hyde, describe the perspective of an alcoholic.

After it was used in the 1996 film Trainspotting, “Born Slippy .NUXX” was issued as a single on 1 July 1996 and reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. It has been named one of the best tracks of the 1990s by numerous publications.

Vocalist Karl Hyde wrote the lyrics for “Born Slippy .NUXX” after a night drinking in Soho, London, hoping to capture the way a drunk “sees the world in fragments”. The vocals were recorded in one take; when Hyde lost his place, he would sing the same line repeatedly, creating the line “lager, lager, lager, lager”. Hyde, who was struggling with alcoholism, said he did not intend the song to be a “drinking anthem” but rather a “cry for help”. He was disturbed when audience members raised their lager cans during performances. Underworld producer Rick Smith said the lyrics reflected “this energy of movement, and of time and place”, like an abstract painting. via https://en.wikipedia.org

“Angel” is a song by English trip hop group Massive Attack, featuring the vocals and songwriting from Horace Andy, and is partially based on Andy’s song “You Are My Angel”. It was released as the third single from their third studio album, Mezzanine (1998), on 13 July 1998.

Daddy G, who was the main songwriter on it (along with 3D), described the song as “[starting] something we’ve got to finish. It was a much bigger thing than any member of the band.”The song samples The Incredible Bongo Band song “Last Bongo in Belgium”.

Reception for the song was positive. Amy Hanson of AllMusic describes the song thus: “While the beat here is slow, druggy, and deep, what ultimately drives Angel is the wall of guitars that are reminiscent of a very early Cure”. via https://en.wikipedia.org

“Everything in Its Right Place” is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released on their fourth album, Kid A (2000). It features synthesiser, manipulated vocals, and lyrics inspired by the stress singer Thom Yorke experienced while promoting Radiohead’s album OK Computer (1997).

Yorke wrote “Everything in Its Right Place” on piano. Radiohead worked on it in a conventional band arrangement before transferring it to synthesiser, and described it as a breakthrough in the album recording. Though it alienated some listeners expecting more of Radiohead’s earlier rock music, “Everything in Its Right Place” was named one of the best songs of the decade by several publications. via https://en.wikipedia.org
