Re: New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)
Everyone needs to chill out. Bands almost always have other outside influences contribute to thier albums in the form of mixers and producers. For example, U2 brought in Flood to contribute to an album they did called Achtung Baby. It turned out brilliant. Artists re always collaborating to enhance their sound. Underworld is just spreading this out a bit and being upfront about it.

Sometimes two artists team up that don't seem like they belong together and it works great. Who would have thought the lead singer of Blur and a hip-hop producer would be anything, but they collaborated (with numerous other bands and artists) to form Gorillaz. Johnny Cash worked with rap producer Rick Rubin to make some of the best music of his career.

This is a bold move by UW and the results could very well be extraordinary.
