Electronica
Electronica is both a broad group of electronic-based music styles intended for listening rather than strictly for dancing and a music scene that started in the early 1990s in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the term is mostly used to refer to electronic music generally. History Early 1990s: origins and UK scene The original wide-spread use of the term "electronica" derives from the influential English experimental techno label New Electronica, which was one of the leading forces of the early 1990s introducing and supporting dance-based electronic music oriented towards home listening rather than dance-floor play, although the word "electronica" had already begun to be associated with synthesizer generated music as early as 1983, when a "UK Electronica Festival" was first held. At that time electronica became known as "electronic listening music", also becoming more or less synonymous to ambient techno and intelligent techno, and was considered distinct from other em ...

Riverrun (Underworld Project)
''Riverrun'' is the musical project by the British electronic music group Underworld, released between and , exclusively on the band's official website, as a series of three internet-only EPs, and as limited 12" vinyl releases. Background While touring the album ''A Hundred Days Off'' in 2003 through Australia and the Middle East, and nearing the end of the record contract, Hyde and Smith decided to take a more independent approach to recording and releasing music. Excited by the idea of the long tail effect described in a '' Wired'' article and the writings of Robert Fripp, the band decided on going fully independent and releasing music through online distribution, free downloads, and live broadcasts, an idea the band had talked about for over 20 years. The band had already gotten into a habit of publishing content online in 2000 - including archive music, photos, and diary entries - as an online extension to the ''Everything Everything'' DVD. The band received responses ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Critical reception ''Oblivion with Bells'' received mostly positive reviews from most music critics. The album has a score of 64/100 on Metacritic based on 24 reviews. Allmusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars saying "The acid techno is firmly in place, with little or no regard for developments in the form after the '80s. Still, unlike other electronica mainstays who have occasionally revealed a little weariness -- either from trying to change or trying to stay the same -- Underworld never sound particularly tired on Oblivion with Bells". ''NME'' gave the album 8/10 saying that "Oblivion With Bells is less the comedown than the sound of the party still going 10 years ...

Underworld (band) Albums
The underworld, also known as the netherworld, is the supernatural world of the dead in various religious traditions and myths, located below the world of the living. Chthonic is the technical adjective for things of the underworld. The concept of an underworld is found in almost every civilization and "may be as old as humanity itself". Common features of underworld myths are accounts of Katabasis#Trip into the underworld, living people making journeys to the underworld, often for some heroic purpose. Other myths reinforce traditions that entrance of souls to the underworld requires a proper observation of ceremony, such as the ancient Greek story of the recently dead Patroclus haunting Achilles until his body could be properly buried for this purpose. Persons having social status were dressed and equipped in order to better navigate the underworld. A number of mythologies incorporate the concept of the soul of the deceased making its own journey to the underworld, with the ...
