2025 reissue - Underworld’s eighth album, Barking, was originally released in 2010. It features the tracks, “Bird1,” “Always Love a Film,” “Scribble” and “Moon in Water.” 2 LP set on 180g vinyl cut at half-speed and meticulously checked for the highest quality audio. Double gatefold jacket with the classic design from the original pressing but with added spine detail.
"Underworld's eighth album found the duo seeking outside production, which came in the form of a half-dozen dance heavyweights who pull the aging duo in several different directions, mostly pop, trance, and, occasionally, their native techno. The opening "Bird 1" is a glorious return to form, featuring a production from Dubfire that recasts the duo in the gritty, rain-soaked techno of 1993, a dead ringer for Dubnobasswithmyheadman's "Dark & Long." Underworld have rarely revisited old ground, making this a startling and excellent track. Still, Barking doesn't spend much time there, instead visiting much brighter territory on the single "Scribble," with a production by High Contrast that should have creative directors rearranging their budgets to license. The biggest name here is Paul Van Dyk, whose "Diamond Jigsaw" is as straight-ahead as guitar techno car advert as you can get." - John Bush
