Longstanding English techno duo Underworld haven’t released a proper full-length in five years — right, right, way more than A Hundred Days Off. Note: we’re not counting the Breaking And Entering soundtrack, despite the loverly “Counterpoint Hang Pulse,” because the film starred Jude Law, who we’re currently pissed at after being forced to watch Cold Mountain.
Anyhow, told you about the icy hot “Crocodile” a couple months ago. Now the Underworld boys are offering a stream of Oblivion With Bells in its gorgeous entirety at their Myspace. It’s a great listen … especially if you like Underworld. A lot of people probably still think of them in that puke-yellow Trainspotting light, but they’ve created some of the most beautiful armchair electronica over their tenure. No drugs required. If you’re a neophyte start with “Best Mamgu Ever” and “Good Morning Cockerel.” So scary with a piano, those fellas.

Love “Good Morning Cockerel”
‘Ring Road’ is the biggest waste of time of 2007 so far.
I’m all for minimalism, but this album is really just lacking.
I couldn’t wait for ‘loads of birds’ to end so I could just put on a wordless more beautiful nightmares on wax.
I love Underworld. I haven’t listened to the whole album yet, but even if it sucks, I’ll just go back to Second Toughest.
Poor Underworld. Not much love left now. Take it as a lesson: This is what happens when you give up the bottle.
best new song by far: beautiful burnout
best album: dubnobasswithmyheadman
Looks like there’s only 5 songs now on their page – they must have taken the whole album stream off?
