Re: World of Underworld
I'm thinking (+ hoping) that this is a particular phrase they're going through, like Riverrun, in that they're approaching stuff differently for a while. If tracks are being intentionally picked to fit the playlists then that's a fascinating way to make music and present it, and not one I've really seen done before, so will be interesting to witness. But it doesn't necessarily make for the most cohesive listening experience, and in itself seems quite odd given the Barbara-era interviews in which Karl talked at length about feeling constricted by expectations of what Underworld were supposed to sound like, and that working on Barbara was liberating because it was totally free of their past and any stylistic limitations or expectations. I'm sure over time we'll get more interviews on the subject and it'll all become more clear, though.
