Underworld is one of the greatest bands of all time. You may have heard their track during the final scene of the movie "Trainspotting."

While they are primarily electronic musicians, they have a background in rock, and so they are a perfect blend of both worlds. The lyrics and vocal tracks are just as hypnotic and kinetic as the music. They also put on a great live show, where improvisation plays a big part, and the dynamics of the compositions can be breathtaking. I saw them live about 5 years ago, and it remains the best music show I've ever been to. You really have to see them for yourself. Their music makes me feel extraordinary.
