Underworld - Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future (Coming March 18, 2016)

I wish it had been an EP with If Rah and I Exhale being a stand alone single.

Twenty three blue is amazing, should have been part of the album proper

100% agreed, its definitely one to crank the hell up

Making their first ever performance on Later this week.

Extended show on tomorrow night with 3 tracks from Underworld.

oo

I've been revisiting this album over the past couple of days and "If Rah" is really, really, really satisfying.

i love "twenty three blue" but i think i'm cool with it not being on the album

at least i don't really have a sense of where it would fit

"If Rah" recently got the full single / remix treatment, including one from Herbert: https://open.spotify.com/album/4L9dkMglcgAdkup0nQVZK1

I really couldn't imagine a radio edit for "If Rah" due to the pace of the build but this works surprisingly well:

I love how it just gets into it from the start. The first 30 seconds of that tune loop around in my head a lot.

Oh shit, I'm just now listening to this album and I'm properly gobsmacked.

OTM

I really really enjoy the entire record, but 'If Rah' and 'Motorhome' are my favourites, simply because I love how both tracks develop.

OTM

Every Underworld album has at least one song that I find indispensable and will play on endless repeat at the drop of a hat; "If Rah" is that song from this album.

Also at one point I had my sons singing the "luna luna luna luna" part almost unprompted.

Hehe, that's awesome!

big thing about "If Rah" is that it just bangs right out of the box, as though the usual slowbuild/intro was just lopped off. good decision IMO.

and then it builds on top of that bang to become a bangernaut

I regret almost every single facet of my previous post

just saw this was nominated for a Grammy too. I'm guessing it's going to lose to Jean Michel Jarre but it's cool to see them (finally) get some recognition, it's about as overdue as Aphex Twin's was

(and yeah I know, fuck the Grammies)

wait is he saying "shoot the stars, pizza bread" at 0:56?

I used to hear "beads of prayer", but yeah now it's "pizza bread"

Beckinsale was great in this but I was peeved that they never revealed who Barbara was (the werewolf, maybe).

$21.78 incl shipping to get that sent to the US, no thanks

You can hear Eventually But 2h25m into this Lauren Laverne show:

Also a new track called 'I Remember' at 1h55m when Karl sat in for Gilles Peterson last week

man I would totally not mind if they released an entire album that sounded like "Motorhome"

what if as a concept they made that album and it only was played in a motorhome. you get on it, and it's just driving around places while you listen to the album

Breaking And Entering soundtrack is one of the best things they've ever done. Beautiful music.

I'm just now getting around to the DJ Koze mix of "I Exhale" and I don't know if it's right place, right time or I'm just in a MOOD but srsly at this very moment this is the best fucking thing in the world

wait there's a what

Can't get into this on the whole, but Motorhome is lovely, and a bit... Beatlesy?
