Album Description
2007 release from the genre-bending, trend-setting UK Electronic whiz kids. When Underworld released their last album A Hundred Days Off, no one thought it would be nearly 2000 days until the next one arrived. During the lay-off, Rick and Karl, with the aid of trusty laptops, a couple of home studios, Abbey Roads' legendary facilities and a Pig Shed, have been carefully developing ideas for this release, an album that was finally completed in a flurry of activity and excitement in spring 2007. True to form Underworld tread their own path through modern Electronic music tipping a nod to current sounds, styles and production techniques but never afraid to let their song writing and musicianship shine out in this digital world. The album kicks off like Saturday night with Sven V„th, Simian Mobile Disco and Frankie Knuckles all fighting to get on the decks, then takes you over the flat fields of rural Essex, through Kings Cross with its olympic dreams and piss stained alleys, ending blessed out in a hidden cove in Ibiza. Epic Techno nestles next to frail acoustics, beatific prose next to sharp urban observation, amazing sound texturing mixed with mobile phone recordings, rarely has the Underworld palette been so rich. ATO.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful and Hypnotic
Like others have said this album does remind one of Dubnobasswithmyheadman. But its a great reminder and takes the sound of that album and modernizes it. At 1st listen I immediately fell in love and it only gets better from there. There is a lot of electronic music out there and not all of it is good. This latest offering from Underworld shows us that they are still the masters of the art.

Great CD
To give this CD a 1-star rating is silly. This would probably be a 4.5 rating, but I'm giving a full 5 because of the previous 1-star review. The song Crocodile is an instant classic. Love this CD.

Another Winner from Underworld
If you like creative poetry and music that also grooves, you should definitely check out "Oblivion with Bells" and the rest of Underworld's catalog. There aren't very many musicians that consistently put out excellent material year after year over such a long career. These guys are simply amazing! There's more actual song structures than other Underworld work and the poetry this time out is really compelling and memorable. This latest album is most satisfying for active or passive listening and I have already listened to it over a dozen times with no apparent ear fatigue. With a glass eye on you...
