The British electronic group's ninth studio album (and first in six years) is quite strong. It has a nocturnal, otherworldly, wistful overall quality without sacrificing moments of wide-screen dance-music bliss.

Recommended.

Not sure how I missed this thread.

I'll be sure to check these out later.

Never been a fan of Underworld. Their style isn't to my liking, and listening to the two tracks you posted just confirms that for me. They can make some good electronic tunes, but then they ruin it with idiotic vocals (especially in the case of "If Rah"). "Nylon Strung" is actually not bad, but still pretty Coldplay-ish rather than impressive electronica. Not enough to get me to bother with them any more.

I enjoy the nonsense lyrics and casual-detached vocal style, but I can understand why a person wouldn't.
