Underworld
made a sizzling London homecoming at this one-off gig in the splendid
surroundings of Somerset House.
| "The
band's beats were ably set off by an effective light show, and
Somerset House lived up to the expectations of such a regal
venue..." |
As the
fiery midday temperatures receded to a glorious, balmy summer evening,
the masters of their art started to weave their audio magic.
Shades of Café del Mar abounded as the relaxed crowd warmed
to the duo's infectious beats-n-tweaks.
All
the Underworld favourites were present and correct, effortlessly
leading the crowd through a series of crescendos and lulls, with
frontman Karl Hyde putting in a dominating vocal performance to
match the seamless wizardry emanating from behind the mixing desk.
mesmeric
beats
Shortly after surprising the crowd with the ever popular Trainspotting
anthem 'Born Slippy', they did away with the formalities
of a 'staged encore', and used the extra time to perform two more
tracks.
Underworld's
mesmeric beats were ably set off by an understated yet effective
light show, and Somerset House lived up to the expectations of such
a regal venue.
The band's two remaining conspirators, Karl Hyde and Rick Smith,
successfully proved that while Darren Emerson will never be forgotten,
he won't be missed either.
