Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.After the search for new directions on A Hundred Days Off and Oblivion With Bells, Underworld confine experimentation on Barking mostly to dancefloor electronica, by collaborating with like-minded operators in techno, drum'n'bass and dubstep.
The most successful is with former Deep Dish member Dubfire on the gorgeous "Bird 1": the bass synth twang, bass drum pulse and hi-hat hiss develop as layers of organ and smudges of synth are added to Karl Hyde's free-associating murmur. It is the band's best piece in years. "Scribble" has fast electro arpeggios, "Diamond Jigsaw" is Neu!-style pastoral electronica, and "Always Loved A Film" furnishes Balearic-euphoric bliss. "Louisiana" closes matters with Hyde celebrating a love's touch as "planets in sweet collision, quietly violent".
