‘Bird 1’ – the album’s opener – has been reworked by several DJs and producers:

1. Bird 1 (album version), 2. Bird 1 (Mark Broom remix), 3. Bird 1 (Lone remix), 4. Bird 1 (Pete Tong remix), 5. Bird 1 (Clouds remix), 6. Bird 1 (sbtrkt remix), 7. Bird 1 (radio edit)

‘Barking’ is Underworld’s first album in three years, and their first to be constructed with a brilliant cast of co-conspirators. All the tracks were written by the band in their Essex studio before being given to handpicked studio heads from across the whole spectrum of dance music to add some of their style and creativity to the band’s raw material. The result is a pimped-up Underworld record and their finest collection of songs in over a decade.
