Underworld to Release Athens, New Mix CD Part 1

Underworld, Athens a new mix CD.

Underworld will release the first in a two-part compilation series next month entitled, Athens after the name of Hyde's painting that adorns the sleeve—is actually credited to Underworld vs The Misterons, which suggests that regular instrumentalist Darren Price and Junior Boys Own co-founder Steven Hall had a hand in the project. You might be surprised at what you hear. Athens departs from the regular house and techno compilation.

"The overall mood is jazz and improvisation,"they explain. "There is very little playing in a lot of people's records in the dance and DJ world these days, but one thing Underworld have always liked is musicianship. It doesn't stop us loving machine music and house music and everything that goes with it, but the idea with this album was to highlight records we liked that we thought had great live playing on them."

The result is a diverse selection of groove-based tracks that range from the psychedelic blues to jazzy techno and beyond.

!K7 will release Underworld, Athens on November 23rd, 2009.
