I just bought Underworld’s new album, Oblivion with Bells, from iTunes, mostly on the strength of the song “Beautiful Burnout,” which I heard on the radio and was like all hells yes. Careful, though, Oblivion is unapologetically dance-centric with just a hit of dark industrial yearnings. All the better for me, but less ponderous and broad-reaching than earlier Underworld releases. So far, so good.
They did the soundtrack for SUNSHINE, out earlier this year. That was a very good match of film + music.
