[quote=Lx_Nen]Well, I guess I might as well chip in with my thoughts...
It's a truly great album, and a definite return to form after AHDO, which I always felt was Rick and Karl trying a bit too hard to prove they could still do dance music without D.E. and in the process forgetting they were Underworld along the way. This album in contrast exudes confidence in their natural eclectic Underworld style.
I've always had this thing with Underworld that if they mention a specific location, I generally knew it already - I used to commute down the tubehole in Farringdon Street, I bought milk and teabags for the office in Europa on Wardour Street, many's the night I stood waiting on Stratford station waiting for the midnight train to Romford thinking that everything was going west and nothings going east, as on the fast lines over the other side of the station dark trains thundered past with the lights in their windows turned off. I even used to drive home from my parents house along Crow Lane (score 10 bonus uw-obsessive points if you know the link!), and now I've started working from home in the outskirts of Romford, I'm still getting my 'stalked by Underworld' fix from Ring Road.
LOL thats what got me into Underworld to.I am a Train Driver and i used to work out of Liverpool Street for eight years.At night i would head West instead of East with the lights out.
Often wondered if a picture of myself at work would turn up inside an Album cover trundling through the High Rise of Bethnal Green instead of the usual trainspotter taking it.
. Did see karl at Saffron Walden of all places having a drink at a Cafe with a Lady friend a couple of years back.
