Ah Yes this is one of the bands which have been the most underrated and important in the last decade
And they arent spring chickens either, for two of the remaining members have been around since the early 80s, where they were struggling to generate one-hit wonders in that era of cheesey music, and bad fashion
but it proved to be pretty obvious they were held back creatively in that decade, when the album Dubnobasswithmyheadman came out, many naive australians bought the album because they just fell in love with that stupid song 'Underneath the Radar' and they were in for a rude shock of their lives
For one lyrics and vocals proved to be inconsequential, and a bold approach of making the music to move the listener, for one they proved that trance and hard house music was actually intelligent
The single Born Slippy which came out after Dubnobass proved to be one of the biggest anthems in the last decade
and one of the most incredible albums of music, and arguably the least commercial friendly, Second Toughest in the Infants followed up Born Slippy. and without the constraints of time limits, this album featured epics of what felt like what was almost atmospheric rock in the class of Pink Floyd, featuring intuitive guitar work, tough breakbeats and incredible genius in incorporating 'layers' in mutating each and every song to the point you dont remember what the song sounded like at the start
The last album was a bit of a disappointment, but Underworld had by then changed the way people saw techno music
We eagerly await the next album, its long overdue and its bound to be a cracker
