Threat of Rain builds from a murky locked techno groove and a looped refrain of “I’m good, I’m good… I’m alright” into an orchestra of analogue noise that swells and surges and at times obliterates everything around it, which, with the accompanying film by Tomato’s Simon Taylor and Rick Smith, looks and sounds like a lost recording of a musique concrète symposium being broadcast from the DJ booth of the Omen.

If touring was possible, these are the sounds I’d be chilling out to in my bus bunk after getting off stage from another night of banging techno. (Karl Hyde/Underworld). Underworld
THREE is fantastic! ‘Bloom’ is pure, unpredictable, relentless sonic nectar. The Necks are an animal machine, painters of landscapes that make my head feel good. - (Karl Hyde - Underworld) Underworld
