90年代很有影响的电子乐队Underworld的首张专辑,属于典型的叫好不叫座,音乐中因融合了多种元素,充满想像力而受到乐评人的关注,却因旋律方面并不讨好而被当时的听众所冷落,但仍然被认为是很有影响的一张电子乐专辑。
From the beginning of the first track "Dark & Long," Underworld's focus on production is clear, with songwriting coming in a distant second. The best tracks ("MMM Skyscraper I Love You," "Cowgirl") mesh Hyde's sultry songwriting with Emerson's beat-driven production, an innovative blend of classic acid house, techno and dub that sounds different from much that preceded it. In a decade awash with stale fusion, Underworld are truly a multi-genre group.
