Caliban’s DreamUnderworld11rank/position

The London Olympics were held in July 2012.

At the opening ceremony, the piece used for the most moving climax—the lighting of the Olympic cauldron—was by Underworld, the electronic unit representing the UK.

Inspired by the world of Shakespeare’s plays, it begins with vocals like a quiet prayer and gradually builds to a festive euphoria—truly breathtaking.

It transcends the boundaries of mere dance music, beautifully conveying the weight and hope of a historic moment.

The track is included on Isles of Wonder, the official soundtrack album for the ceremony.

Give it a listen when you want to quietly stoke the fire in your heart or focus late into the night toward a big goal.

JAL to TokyoUnderworld12rank/position

This track is striking for its dreamlike atmosphere and distinctive rhythm.

Showcasing Underworld’s spirit of experimentation, it sonically expresses the multifaceted nature of Tokyo as a city.

The fragmented lyrics spark the listener’s imagination, evoking the complexity and loneliness of urban life, as well as a sense of hope.

Created as part of the Riverrun Project, it also includes a remix by Paul Woolford.

It’s a piece that will resonate not only with electronic music fans but also with anyone immersed in the bustle of the city.

Perfect for soothing a tired heart or as background music to welcome a new morning.
