from glasswerk.co.uk:

‘Barking’ is the title of Underworld’s first album in three years, and their first to be constructed with a brilliant cast of co-conspirators. All the tracks were written by the band in their Essex studio before being given to handpicked studio heads from across the whole spectrum of dance music to add some of their style and creativity to the band’s raw material. The result is a pimped-up Underworld record and their finest collection of songs in over a decade.

From the first undulating pulses of submariner bass, the first vocals – soft like a whisper in the ear - and the first fizz of hi-hats that force along the pace, the sound is unmistakably Underworld. Electronics wrapped effortlessly around songs; streams of consciousness lyrics that form indelible images; a perfectly balanced mix of melody and rhythm. Underworld’s sixth studio album is a thundering return to form, although it’s fair to say that the band responsible have never really been below par.

Wow, I wonder how many tracks there are like Scribble here?? Like, based off a tune we all know, but massively reworked, with new hooks and a whole new feel?? Really awesome to see Mark Knight and D Ramirez here since "Downpipe" was so good. The only thing is "Diamond Jigsaw", really hope they kept that one mostly the same!

Also, how great would it be if Bamboo was the bonus track???

There we go; that must be the press release verbatim. That's the English version of what's posted on Traffic.

Honestly I really hope it doesn't, I mean in the internet age the leak date is more important than the "official" date. I struggled with that a lot with LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver album, which leaked in December of 2006 but wasn't released until March 2007. I did buy the disc when it was released, but couldn't resist the leak, thinking, "nobody's going to be talking about this album anymore by the time it's actually released"...if it leaks two weeks early, I can resist that, but if it shows up say tomorrow I'm gonna have major problems :S

Well, let me be the first negative poster: I don't actually like any of the collaborators and might actually download this before release as I'm honestly not sure I'll like it too much. Hmmm. :/

congratulations man

By my count, we've heard 6 of the 9 at some stage in their tracky-life. I'm super excited to hear the final release and teh collabs should be pretty awesome. PvD, however, I do not like. But its not like he wrote the tracks so I guess it'll be okay.

Sept 13th seems SOOO far away.
