New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)

[Scott Warner]

Just thought I'd drop in to say that this is a really fun record. I'm really enjoying most of it. The only two tracks I can do without are "Diamond Jigsaw" and "Louisiana" - the rest is big, over-the-top dance anthem stuff in the spirit of great Underworld tracks of yore.

It's certainly a pop record but so are most of their recognizable tunes quite frankly; there is a reason this band has been popular and not just one of the thousands of anonymous dudes out there stamping out dj tools. It's the blend between all of their pop, dance and other influences that has produced all of this memorable stuff.

Thumbs up. Don't like the title of the album much but the songs are just fine.

Love the work done on the limited box set - it's a great object.
