Oblivion With Bells
Underworld
Released:
Oct 2007
Label:
BMG/ATO/RED INK
Start with "Beautiful Burnout" - this is what Underworld are all about. A perfect combination of crescendoing beats, with oddly warm yet atonal melodies mixing in with Karl Hyde's almost spoken stream of consciousness lyrics. Then, at about 4 minutes, there's a lull in the middle, before a whole new set of rhythms kick in that make you want to start leaping around like a mad thing. Nobody does it better. To their credit, Underworld don't rely on this, choosing to explore other styles, like the sermon-esque "Ring Road" and the blissful, lilting "Best Mamgu Ever."
