Underworld are well and truly back. It was a blistering 2007 for Rick & Karl having played Hollywood Bowl, Central Park and a sell out UK tour. Their latest new studio album ‘Oblivion With Bells’ has been heralded as their best album since the seminal ‘Dubnobasswithmyheadman’. Now comes the second single from the album, “Beautiful Burnout”, which has become a firm live favourite, and with mixes...

Underworld has contracted some sort of "severe illness" that has forced the cancellation of the rest of their Europe tour. It sounds like their is quite the throat infection going around. I was sick for two weeks straight, and there have been numerous reports of singers canceling shows due to this bug. I hope the members of Underworld get better soon. This tour has been so eagerly anticipat...

You can also listen to the new Mum album, newish Baby Elephant, and a playlist of artists who participated in last weekend's Lovefest in SF.Here's a short video that I filmed at Underworld's SF concert in S...

For those that don't know, tell us a bit about your beginnings. You've been playing together since the 80s. Yeah, [...]~~

Underworld hasn't been the same since Emerson said goodbye and wobbled off on his own. They've since devolved a bit, crumpled to a simpler level, it seems. Not that they weren't always a bit repetitive, but I'm just not getting the same kick out of them that I got with *Dirty Epic*... and even the cleverness of _Beaucoup Fish_.That said, *Crocodile*, the first single, isn't all bad. It's certai...
Reviews have been tepid about Underworld's new disc Oblivion With Bells - but I think it's the most vital thing they've done in years. A Hundred Days Off had moments, particularly Lutein, but too often settled into sedated programming endlessness (i.e., the title track, you can almost hear them press "repeat" halfway through).Here they've got variety and vitality the whole way through. At halfw...
I spent the summer of '99 in Italy. It was incredible, and a few albums were great to listen to, to just escape the tiring nature of travel. I enjoyed Underworld's ??Second Toughest in the Infant's??, but something about ??Beaucoup Fish?? just had a throbbing, humming, intense life of it's own. The lyrics sometimes hit me, coming off as an almost scattered free form delivery, but somehow whe...

I found some old mini discs of mine today, which took me by the hand & led me all the way down my musical memory lane. I was moved by what I found. So, I decided that I will start these back in time posts, in an attempt to exorcise & embrace my "demons" and, hopefully, introduce you to something that will move you, too.1. *Underworld*No other electronic band ever managed to come so close to me....
Don't you just hate it when a album you've owned for months, sneaks up behind you in a dimly lit rooms and screams in your ear; I'M BLOODY BRILLIANT, ME!There should be some sort of warning......Glam Bucket
