I totally disagree about the latest Underworld album. The Dogmangowoof era was fun, but I think their sound has evolved a lot since then. They couldn't just sit around, pining for Emerson. I like the way they've paced it more like an album, with a lot more subtlety to the slower stuff. It's the by-numbers techno-gunk like 'Moaner' I cannae be doing with.stx wrote:I really hope it's a wider range of music than just Underworld, I found the latest album really disappointing compared to the older stuff such as Dogmangowoof which was more Emerson influenced. A trip through the catalogues of an entire record label would be top notch, especially if it were one that specialised in electronic music such as Soma, Skint or that Sheffield lot that I forget the name of right now.
Anyway, whatever you think of Underworld, it ain't going to be enough to just port over some banging choons. The way Jeff is planning to integrate the music/shooty aspects of Unity suggests the need for a more hands-on connection from whatever bands/artists/orchestras/robots/fey singer-songwriters are involved.
I'll admit that it's not perfect and certainly doesn't get close (as a Album) to say Second Toughest in the Infants. But there are some cracking tracks on there, Two Months Off, Little Speaks, Sola Sistim, Dinosaur Adventure. But it's all subjective, i mean most Underworld fans seem to think DubNoBass is still the best one they've done, whereas I just can't see it myself
