The compilation—entitled, Athens after the name of Hydes painting that adorns the sleeve—is actually credited to Underworld vs The Misterons, which suggests that regular instrumentalist Darren Price and Junior Boys Own co-founder
Steven Hall had a hand in the project. Those expecting a regular house and techno compilation may be very surprised,
as the duo have gone for a much different vibe to the one theyre regularly associated with. "The overall mood is
jazz and improvisation," they explain. "There is very little playing in a lot of peoples records in the dance and DJ world these days, but one thing Underworld have always liked is musicianship. It doesnt stop us loving machine music and house music and everything that goes with it, but the idea with this album was to highlight records we liked that we thought had great live playing on them."

"Rebuilding Vibes" is the latest album by El Fog, the solo project of Berlin-based Japanese artist Masayoshi Fujita,
whose wonderful works ranges from Dub and Jazz, to Hip Hop and Electoronica. Among other things, one can notice
distinctively in this gorgeous album is Fujitas attempts to pursue the new possibilities of sounds in vibraphone.
We hear mellow individual phrases with a twist of Jazz, strong impact rhythm production with intricately inlaid click
noises, vibrancy of vibraphones sounds with groovy manipulations like loop, over dub, cut and paste, self sampling,
processing and so on. This album is smoky and beautifully built with gorgeous acoustic space. It is, for sure, like nothing else youve heardbefore. "Rebuilding Vibes" is tastefully mixed by the awesome AOKI takamasa, who also contributed the cover art for the album. Stephan Betke a.k.a. pole, mastered the album.
