 UNDERWORLD LIVE
The band has undergone several complete transformations over its almost 20 years of existence, moving from new wave to neo-industrial, to its current blending of all-things-dance or electronic.
Much of the acclaim stems from both the band's captivating live shows and the fact that their sound generally remains well outside dance music's ever-shifting and emerging genres.
In an effort to forever document the band's accomplishments over the last eight years, Underworld has opted to do the most unlikely of things for a dance act - they're releasing a DVD and a live CD, both of which are called Everything, Everything.

Since Emerson joined Underworld, it has created one of the most recognizable and cohesive sounds in all of electronic music, combining warm, soft bass lines, barely recognizable jolts of guitar, string and piano samples, and low-in-the-mix singing processed into an echoing digital hum.
Underworld is, deservedly, most famous for "Born Slippy," the propulsive anthem off the Trainspotting soundtrack.
One of the wonderful ironies of Underworld is that the band's exuberance comes largely from its computerized beats and symphonic samples, while its frosty futurism is located in a man's voice manipulated until it sounds like a machine.

Not that mixing such genres is anything new for an electronic act, certainly not for an act that came of age in the UK in the early to mid '90s, when house and techno still mingled with rock, "Madchester" style.

 Billie Holiday - Music Downloads - Online
Almost fifty years after her death, it's difficult to believe that prior to her emergence, jazz and pop singers were tied to the Tin Pan Alley tradition and rarely personalized their songs; only blues singers like Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey actually gave the impression they had lived through what they were singing.
With a pick-up band supervised by pianist Teddy Wilson, she recorded a series of obscure, forgettable songs straight from the gutters of Tin Pan Alley -- in other words, the only songs available to an obscure fl band during the mid-'30s.
Though officially she was fired from the band for being temperamental and unreliable, shadowy influences higher up in the publishing world reportedly commanded the action after she refused to begin singing '20s female blues standards.
