UNDERWORLD – BARBARA BARBARA WE FACE A SHINING FUTURE

Description

First released in 2016, Underworld’s Barbara Barbara, We Face A Shining Future returns in a 2025 reissue on nice heavyweight black vinyl that has been cut at half speed for optimal sound and housed in a double gatefold sleeve with added spine detailing. The album – the Essex duo’s ninth – marked a creative rebirth for Karl Hyde and Rick Smith and features seven spontaneous, emotionally raw tracks born from strict studio sessions. From detuned basslines and celestial techno to lyrical monologues and off-world electronics, it’s a typically expressive and genre-blending statement that stands proud alongside their celebrated classic albums and has aged well over the years.
