Paul Van Dyk is a musical genius. How amazing will he make Diamond Jigsaw?

But I think it would be cool if Underworld did something like that as an extra disc added on to a release that contained only their own material. With Barking, they did the opposite.

the chemical brothers,aphex twin,massive attack.........back to the 90's.

so, having made music which is basically electronica for the past 15 years, Karl Hyde and Rick Smith who made two albums as a guitar based band in the 1980's are not allowed to use guitars again...

come on guys get over it...

you don't have to like the track, but there is NO method to Underworld - no set in stone 'Underworld' formula,

Karl and Rick are having fun on this track, at least they are playing instruments and singing proper tunes, rather than putting out bland soundscapes for the few hardcore fans who are into computer games soundtracks...

music for listening doesn't have to be complicated or intricate, it can be simple and melodic - its not a crime - those of you with a better understanding of music should make your own stuff and listen to that, plenty of people are enjoying the simplistic popularist approach that this album and its collaborations have created...

i'm not sticking up for Underworld for the fact they are my fav band, but for the fact that this album (Barking), is simply one of their best, and i'll happily say that their previous effort (OWB) one of their worst, not bad though, just not as good as previous outings...

trying to say how this album should have sounded or who should have been involved is futile... you don't have to like it but this is what UW chose to make and its a triumph (well in my opinion!)
