Drift Series 1 media reviews
Some reviews are starting to trickle in. Looks like media was sent the 1-disc sampler.
The Herald 8/10 "It's a brilliant move. Their live shows have never faltered but recent releases failed to hit the high notes of their mid-90s pomp, or rival the quality and breadth of today's laptop-crafted electronica. The space offered by the spontaneity of weekly release handed the pair, who formed four decades ago in Cardiff, to stretch out and take risks." The Arts Desk 4/5 "DRIFT Series 1 is great stuff and a fine reminder of when techno was the soundtrack to times that had excitable tabloid editors freaking out rather than the lame background music that subsequently came to accompany everything from TV car adverts, computer games and visits to High Street chain stores." |

the music
"Astonishingly, Underworld have pulled off the incredible: six discs that don’t feel overwhelming or indulgent. Drift consistently accelerates then cruises in a different direction, before taking off again in a new one. Enjoy the ride." |

this is the one that keeps bothering me. this "time" would have to reference sometime before 1997, when it exactly started getting used for ads (stateside anyway), AND, i wish people who don't listen to the underground of genres would stop talking shit about them as if they know shit. techno is alive and well and 90% of it will never be in an ad |

To be fair, it no longer reaches the tabloids the way it did in the early '90s, but then Underworld's heyday only came about around the middle of the decade which was around the time it became ad music as well, so it's still a bollocks sentence.
