Underworld is an electronic music group made up of two men named Karl Hyde and Rick Smith. The pair from England create their own music and also perform it live in front of thousands of people. I have much respect for them because they don’t just play other people’s records. They make their own music live on stage amidst a great light show and a wonderful vibe. They have created several albums since they started their music career in the late 80’s. They include: Dubnobasswithmyheadman (2003), Second toughest in the infants (1997), Beaucoup fish (1999), Everything, Everything (2000), A Hundred Days Off (2002), and their latest a compilation, Anthology 1992-2002 (2003). Underworld has a great site with info on their music, tours, and other projects. Check it out.I had the pleasure to attend on of their shows in 2002 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
