Ostensibly Underworld's third album, 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' was a remarkable turning point.
In came Darren Emerson and a tidal wave of continental techno, and out went the the group's previous penchant for synth pop.
Released in 1994, it remains a landmark in the band's career, and represented one of dance music's most successful forays into the album format during that era.
With its 20th anniversary fast approaching, Underworld have confirmed plans to give 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' a full re-issue. Announced on their social networks, the project was sparked after Karl Hyde re-visited the original masters for the album.
Discovering a plethora of forgotten material – including alternate takes, demos, lost tracks and more – an expansive re-issue project was then planned.
Due for release on October 6th, 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' will be available on CD, Blu Ray, download and double LP. Tracklisting:
