"'Dark & Long'" is a 1994 single by British electronic music group Underworld, and the opening track on their 1993 album 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman'.

The band released a number of versions of the track, including the "Dark Train" mix made popular for inclusion on the hit soundtrack album for the 1996 film 'Trainspotting', and the 2021 "Drift 2 Dark Train" mix.

Background



The single entered the UK Singles Chart at #57 on 25 June 1994, for one week.

The "Dark Train" mix of "Dark & Long" became best known due to its use in the 1996 film 'Trainspotting' (that featured another Underworld track, "Born Slippy (.Nuxx))." "Dark & Long (Dark Train)" appears in a scene of when the main character Mark Renton is going through heroin withdrawal.

"Dark & Long (Dark Train)," as well as the "Darren Price and High Contrast Remix," both appeared during the athletes' march, at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, and on its soundtrack album 'Isles of Wonder'.
