It makes sense, for Strawberry Hotel has a very satisfying ebb and flow, its variety of musical styles greater than any Underworld album up to this point. [. . .] Little has changed with the Underworld formula in recent years, the euphoric chord shifts and slowly oscillating, atmospheric chords still working their magic. denver luna is a beauty, its central breakdown like a superimposed chant from the back of a church. Techno Shinkansen channels 1999’s King Of Snake, with a typically airy synth riff to work its magic, while Hilo Sky is a younger cousin of Always Loved A Film.
