and personally (and selfishly) i don't like drum 'n' bass and wouldn't be that happy if this album went that way again....

new sounds new era is what i'd be looking for...Underworld are surely more inventive than doing drum 'n' bass again....?

to me that second part of drum 'n bass (starting at about 18.00 after the break) is definitely a new production an not an improv. Way too developed for just an improv. It also doesn't sound anything like PG or Tin There to me. Sorry I just don't hear the resemblance at all. The only thing in common is that they have breakbeats. I don't see the problem with it really, surely the whole album isn't gonna be drum 'n bass so I just think it's nice they mix up the familiar 4 on the floor with some breakbeats. By your logic every time they made a techno track they would be "going back" because the first music they made was techno music, the drum 'n bass influence only came later on STITI.
