One of my fondest memories of Underworld was having them on loop while traveling Europe, making the Ibiza pilgrimage 16 yrs. ago. Staring out the train window watching the Dutch countryside take on blurry forms and shapes, dissolving into graphic rifts - it was cerebral. I wanted to live in that ideal their music was painting or at the very least recreate stills that could capture that space.

Today, it's a bit wild being a content contributor to a band that continues to have such a personal impact alongside with close friends and colleagues. This latest installment (links below) is a Performance Photo Diary + Essay (written by Thomas Kelley) of the band's recent Southern California visit for their third Coachella appearance with a head nod to last year's Hollywood Bowl gig.

Huge thanks to all at underworldlive.com, our families, friends, and colleagues who made this all possible. ~Enjoy!

Do people still read analog books;) Easily the most flattering thing anyone has mentioned, Mike. Glad you enjoyed browsing. It definitely took a lot more thought and stitching than The Hollywood Bowl series, but I think it was worth all the extra time needed.

~Thank you!

Great stuff Chris. Not sure about the Dutch countryside tho. I find it a bit flat :)
