Underworld - Barking

http://www.underworldlive.com/news/newspage.asp?DID=1360

The tracks on Barking are:

Bird 1 (Co-Produced by Dubfire)

Always Loved A Film (Co-Produced by Mark Knight & D. Ramirez)

Scribble (Co-Produced by High Contrast)

Hamburg Hotel (Co-Produced by Appleblim & Al Tourettes)

Grace (Co-Produced by Dubfire)

Between Stars (Co-Produced by Mark K & D. Ramirez)

Diamond Jigsaw (Co-Produced by Paul van Dyk)

Moon In Water (Co-Produced by High Contrast)

Louisiana

co-produced by, co-produced by?....i'm already suspicious and fearing for the worst, especially after hearing Scribble. have not lost all hope yet though. holding out. come on you two, put it out.

Jeeeeeeesus, it that cover bright enough?! It looks like one of my migraine auras

the cover looks like it was done in 2 minutes in photoshop and the "produced by" mentions make me scared

Actually I know what it reminds me of: This shambles of an album artwork -

I really wanna hear the Appleblim colab

There's me thinking that the MGMT album cover was the worst one i'd see in 2010.....

I quite liked that Scribble track. The NME slagged it off last week (was on a train journey, thats the reason LoL), so I liked it even more.

Well from the looks of it it certainly isn't going to be the Underworld we know and love but if the rest of it is as good as Scribble I think it'll be some good clean fun :)

Scribble is cheesy as fuck but you'd have to be some kind of grumpy cunt/angry teenager to not like it

Album version is quite a bit less "obvious" too

Scribble is great when I'm in a bad mood, it makes me feel better

Eek, they're really treading the fine line between a light hearted dance track and a real cheesy pop one with this second track - I keep expecting a Robert Miles-esque piano line to kick in .... I'm not sure I'm liking where this album is heading

Scribble is a very awesome track and it takes on an even higher dimension when you watch the video and see the unabashed joy in Karl's face. It's just that, "he and I" have "been together" a long time now through a lot of amazing times in life so I'm helpless at his excitement over the track

me too. my friend got tomato to do an art piece (skateboard deck) for an exhibit he had a few years ago, i think i want to try to buy it off of him (they laser etched the board):

Underworld were the first live act that I saw, I remember it being awesome but that was nearly 8 years ago? Fuck i'm getting older. I look forward to this but not without trepidation, I found OWB to be a bit phoned in. Cool that they're touring, i'll definately be there to dance my arse off.

Im sure they would not do a colaboration album if they did not think they could pull it off - underworld are a massive underground success and dont really need to drag in big names like they have here. Im looking forward to hearing the rest of the tracks, I love scribble and ive heard one of the dubfire collabs it was pretty cool.

Seen them live 4 times now, never dissapointing.

I was really turned off at first, but Always Loved A Film came out brilliantly and the limited edition version of the album comes with a disc of all the non-collaborative versions so I'm really looking forward to it now.

Doubt it'll top Oblivion With Bells for me, though.

I pre-ordered that limited edition album version, im a sucker for boxed sets.

Oblivion with bells was great, severely under rated.

Ditto, I'm such an idiot -any time I see something that's even vaguely limited or signed etc. I have to buy it

i'm hanging by a thread with underworld. i like them, but their releases since beaucoupe fish hasn't had staying power with me. i'll listen for like a year or so then forget about it.

I hate boxed limited edition stuff because it doesn't fit on the shelf with the rest of my collection.

Still ordered one though.

I think Underworld has been pretty consistent about putting out good stuff

There's only a hand full of track I really don't like even if some of these new songs lean heavily on pop material

High Contrast has got to be the most boring dnb producer ever. Does he even touch the breaks at all? I'm pretty sure I can find a break and loop it for 5 minutes... Underworld, give me a call!

For the underworld fans:

Underworld live at Priviliege, Ibiza, 8th August 2010 (Radio 1 essential mix)

1. [00.00.00] Downpipe

2. [08.00.00] Always Loved A Film

3. [14.02.00] Two Months Off

4. [21.58.00] Scribble

5. [28.38.00] Rez/Cowgirl

6. [38.59.00] Between Stars

7. [45.09.00] King Of Snake

8. [54.36.00] Nuxx

Awesome set indeed, would have been pure euphoria in that massive hangar of a club!

You've got to be kidding me.

This is how I feel. I'm sure it'll be great but Oblivion was an absolute masterpiece.
