Eleven albums. Two film scores. Two books. One 18-hour set. One television show. One tragically born radio show as they sat in for John Peel. One legendary musical crescendo in cinematic history. Relentless covert digital releases and a terrifying roll call of singles.

Underworld became one of the most crucial electronic acts of the 1990s via an intriguing synthesis of old and new. The trio's two-man frontline, vocalist Karl Hyde and guitarist Rick Smith, had been recording together since the early-'80s new wave explosion; after two unsuccessful albums released as Underworld during the late '80s, the pair finally hit it big when they recruited Darren Emerson, a young DJ hipped to the sound of techno and trance.
