Underworld

[smiller]

Reading the Times today, apparently Underworld have released a new album.

Anyone listened to it yet????

Can we expect another DubNoBassWithMyHeadMan or Second Toughest In The Infants????

[Plotloss]

Yeah its good, not 'with Emerson' good but pretty good all the same, worth a listen definitely.

[KANEIT]

They had it previewed on Myspace before they even released the CD. I reckon it's not quite as 'dancy' as Beaucoup Fish, more ambient and chilled out like a lot in Second Toughest. There is supposed to be a DVD included, which should be good as I would say Everything Everything on DVD is the best they've released in my eyes, i.e. better live than when recorded -see Rez/Juanita.
Got the crocodile single and there's an 11+ minute b-track!
Manchester Apollo, Tuesday night, here I come!

yeah check myspace. From what I heard last night, it's typical Underworld.

Have not got around to listening to the new album yet. Was quite surprised to see something new from them to be honest as know they had been releasing stuff in digital pack forms online for a while but as they had gone fairly quiet I assumed they would be fizzling out quietly.....

Shame to hear they have cancelled the remaining tour dates too.

Underworld will always burn bright in my memories, best gig I have ever been to....

Have they?

boocks.

Was supposed to go to Camden to see them a couple of weeks ago but it was cancelled.

I caught them in Manchester so was lucky. They were excellent. They're not really part of the mainstream now like they were in the Trainspotting era but they have a lot of fans. Their music is still a breath of fresh air to me though amongst the forgettable stuff others are churning out.

I am glad the managed to hold out and not become 'the Trainspotting band' as many other acts would of rested on that type of success IMO.

Have given the new album a couple of listens and hope it's a grower because I was not that inspired by it to be honest. There were one of two tracks that stood out but the rest seemed fairly background-like.

Did anyone buy their three online only bundles?
