UNDERWORLD - Strawberry Hotel CD

Welcome to Strawberry Hotel.
Here, gleaming tensile techno forms clean, straight lines while scratchy acoustic guitars scuff up edges to produce
ghostly audio. Poetry is snatched from the overhead, removed from the overheard; words borrowed from the ether are
spun into dizzying new shapes, sometimes reappearing in new settings, twisted back to front, side to side. Each track a
very different room - some soundtracked by little more than metronomic kick drum and robotic voice, others deep in
layer upon layer of melody and euphoric noise - and each room unmistakably, uniquely Underworld. The only advice
from Underworld’s Rick Smith and Karl Hyde upon entering: “Please don’t shuffle.”
Strawberry Hotel features the singles and the colour red and denver luna, as well as new release Black Poppies - a
celestial love song, a hymn to the universe and to boundless, positive change. Ambient and beatless, Black Poppies is
a celebration of full dancefloors and the beauty of life itself.
