Album review: Underworld - Barking (Cooking Vinyl)
Forays into experimentation show that Karl Hyde and Rick Smith should stick to what they do best
In the ’90s, everyone loved Underworld and feared the millennium bug. Hence, it makes odd sense that the band has been misfiring consistently since 1999’s ‘Beaucoup Fish’ . With ‘Barking’ , they manage to spark into life just twice. ‘Bird 1’ and ‘Move In Water’ are, in the vein of classic Underworld , simultaneously danceable and menacingly strange. Elsewhere,...

Underworld - Barking: Wikipedia Album Entry
Barking is the title of Underworld’s first album in three years, and their first to be constructed with a brilliant cast of co-conspirators. All the tracks were written by the band in their Essex studio before being given to handpicked studio heads from across the whole spectrum of dance music to add some of their style and creativity to the band’s raw material. The result is a pimped-up Underworld record and their finest collection of songs in over a decade.
From the first undulating pulses of submariner bass, the first vocals – soft like a whisper in the ear – and the first fizz of hi-hats that force along the pace, the sound is unmistakably Underworld. Electronics wrapped effortlessly around songs; streams of consciousness lyrics that form indelible images; a perfectly balanced mix of melody and rhythm. Underworld’s sixth studio album is a thundering return to form, although it’s fair to say that the band responsible have never really been below par.

Underworld - Barking Lyrics
Underworld - Bird 1 Lyrics
Bat bit and ten
White stick with a red light
Floats past her on the right
White stick on the rock
Underworld - Always Loved A Film Lyrics
The rhythm, the rhythm
The rhythm, the rhythm
The rhythm, the rhythm
The rhythm, the rhythm
Underworld - Scribble Lyrics
And it's okay
And it's okay
And it's okay
And it's okay
Underworld - Grace Lyrics
light up the darkness
I'm violently in love
the waitress smiles
the music's too loud
Underworld - Between Stars Lyrics
I drive too fast
Under a full moon
Save the best to last
Under a full moon
Underworld - Diamond Jigsaw Lyrics
And does it hurt
that you finally found yourself
and does it hurt
that you find a bit of wealth
Underworld - Moon In Water Lyrics
The phenomenon of moon in the water
Is likened to human experience
The water is the subject and the moon the object
When there is no water, there is no moon in the water
Underworld - Louisiana Lyrics
I feel asleep last night
On a roundabout
A cloud of wings
