Underworld: DRIFT: Episode 5 – “GAME”

Underworld DRIFT: Episode 5 – “GAME” Smith Hyde Productions Here we have EP 5  of Underworld’s Drift Project. It’s the most recent – and it’s the final installment ahead of a boxed-set treatment. We kick off with the brooding balladry of Toluca Stars (Film Edit), one of several pieces across the series which is both […]

Underworld: DRIFT: Episode 4 – “SPACE”

Underworld DRIFT: Episode 4 – “SPACE” Smith Hyde Productions The bangers and mind-bending delights continue from Underworld on this, the fourth installment of the band’s Drift Project. The first song, Listen To Their No, doesn’t quite do it for me, but there’s a sonic joyousness on display, it’s a bright – lovely – production. Just […]

Underworld: DRIFT: Episode 3 – “HEART”

Underworld DRIFT: Episode 3 – “HEART” Smith Hyde Productions Episode 2 might have been the best value – in terms of length – but if I have a favourite from Underworld’s EP-packages collated from material across the last year (The Drift Project) then so far it’s most definitely Episode 3 (aka Heart) – its title […]

Underworld: DRIFT: Episode 2 – “ATOM”

Underworld DRIFT: Episode 2 – “ATOM” Smith Hyde Productions A whole year of tracks over 52 weeks, tied with a writing and visual project too: Text, films, music. The Drift Project. That’s been Underworld’s aim across the last year. It’s gone so well it seems there’ll be Drift # 2 – or a new name […]

Eno & Hyde: High Life

Eno & Hyde High Life Warp Records You could believe – releasing this album just a couple of months after their first collaborative offering – that Brian Eno and Karl Hyde are lazily serving up the offcuts, the leftovers. But, actually, High Life was recorded – for the most part live – across one week. […]

Eno & Hyde: Someday World

Eno & Hyde Someday World Warp Records If you have/had huge expectations around this – a “dream pairing” as everyone is saying – the collaborative album by Underworld’s Karl Hyde and Brian Eno you might well be disappointed. This is an album that has plenty of promising starts but never ever nails it; never hits […]
