Free Music Notes for Oblivion with Bells (Includes bonus DVD)Free Music Review: Not my typical thing, but this CD is excellent Hit: 5 Stars
Techno, electronica, etc. is really not normally my thing. I was introduced to Underworld by seeing the Danny Boyle movie 'Sunshine'. the soundtrack to that movie is *amazing*, and unfortunately despite a loud chorus of requests, is not available. In any case in researching that soundtrack I came across the fact that Underworld had a hand in that soundtrack, and this CD has one song from the movie ("To heal").
This CD is excellent. Its well thought out, well written, well produced, and well performed. I do not have an prior experience with Underworld's music, but I may have to get some now after owning and loving this CD. Highlights in my opinion include "Beautiful Burnout", "To Heal", and in particular "Best Mamgu Ever". This is a great 'background music' CD to do other stuff to like work, drive, etc.
Excellent and highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Hypnotic, Sexy, Pure Aural Pleasure Hit: 5 Stars
I have to agree with Sal, although I won't be near as eloquent in my review. Brilliant job, Sal.
Oblivion is definitely a 5 star. This CD gives us yet another beautiful collection of songs for every mood. The music reaches right in your head and touches all the right spots. It's why we all love them and why I flew to the UK to see them. No other group warrants such attention. It's a small price to pay for the ecstatic state brought on merely by the sounds they produce-no chemical assistance necessary.
Oblivion is classic UW both light and dark, blended expertly from adrenaline producing tunes to deep downtempo chill.
You will not be sorry you bought this CD. Promise.
Free Music Review: Another Winner from Underworld Hit: 5 Stars
If you like creative poetry and music that also grooves, you should definitely check out "Oblivion with Bells" and the rest of Underworld's catalog. There aren't very many musicians that consistently put out excellent material year after year over such a long career. These guys are simply amazing! There's more actual song structures than other Underworld work and the poetry this time out is really compelling and memorable. This latest album is most satisfying for active or passive listening and I have already listened to it over a dozen times with no apparent ear fatigue. With a glass eye on you...
Free Music Review: Beautiful and Hypnotic Hit: 5 Stars
Like others have said this album does remind one of Dubnobasswithmyheadman. But its a great reminder and takes the sound of that album and modernizes it. At 1st listen I immediately fell in love and it only gets better from there. There is a lot of electronic music out there and not all of it is good. This latest offering from Underworld shows us that they are still the masters of the art.
Free Music Review: Best since Dubnobasswithmyheadman Hit: 5 Stars
Underworld has established that they are serious artists with this recording. It is by far the best thing they have put out since Dubnobasswithmyheadman. If you're looking to be challenged, be sure to pick this up. If you're looking for brainless beats, move along.
