Rolling Stone (10/02, p.69) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Underworld still nail a groove and then just sit on it forever...The beauty of A HUNDRED DAYS OFF is that it pumps and churns so suggestively."
Spin (11/02, p.120) - 8 out of 10 - "...The most user-friendly record of Underworld's career..."
Mojo (10/02, p.100) - "...This is a big, big sound...the overall feel is of a band who've given themselves permission to have fun."
NME (9/14/02, p.39) - 8 out of 10 - "...Karl and Rick have pulled off a comeback in fine style....Underworld prove that you're only as old as the technology you use..."
CMJ (9/16/02), p.6) - "...The duo has developed a newfound maturity, resulting in a multifaceted piece of work..."
Uncut (10/02, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A very fine album--Underworld don't make any other kind...a beautiful and baffling enigma."

Product note

Underworld: Karl Hyde, Rick Smith.
If there's a pillar of consistency amidst the johnny-come-latelies in the ever fad-conscious electronic world, it's British outfit Underworld. They date back to the late-80s, tasted just a dash of well-deserved pop success with the ubiquitous "Born Slippy" roundabout the center of the electronica explosion into the mainstream, and continue to create intelligent, variegated, distinctive compositions. On A HUNDRED DAYS OFF, the band's first release as the duo of Karl Hyde & Rick Smith (DJ Darren Emerson left to pursue solo projects) since their first couple records, Underworld crafts its usual synthesis of many styles from many eras.
As close to bands like Ride and Slowdive as they are to Orbital, Orb, and the like, Underworld bury vocals (usually Hyde's) communicating curious, unsettling lines (like "I think he smoked his lungs" on "Luetin") under lush soundtracks that swirl and entrance. Hyde and Smith's music has always hearkened back to their early days in the new-wave '80s, but has also always incorporated elements of punk, psychedelic, ambient, trance, etc. into a sound poppy yet by no means simplistic, readily digestable yet far from disposable. A HUNDRED DAYS OFF furthers this trend.

Album Description

Sixth studio album from London techno crew, their first since 1999's 'Beaucoup Fish'. Regrouping following the departure of pivotal member Darren Emerson, the duo deliver a joyous, upbeat collection of surging techno and mutant acid house to rival any of their previous work. Includes the single 'Two Months Off'.
