Now that "new rave" is all the rage in the UK press, there's never been a better time to embrace an old rave touchstone: London electronic duo Underworld, who've been making you gyrate for nearly 20 years now.

You'll probably want to keep your hips in check, however, while viewing the Underworld co-scored drama Breaking and Entering in movie theaters this winter. As previously noted, Underworld's Karl Hyde and Rick Smith teamed up with film composer Gabriel Yared to compose the score to the film, the latest from director Anthony Minghella (Cold Mountain, The English Patient).

The Underworld/Yared soundtrack hits shops December 5 via V2, while the corresponding film-- which stars Jude Law, Juliette Binoche, and some other pretty people enduring conflict, rising action, and resolution in London-- lands in New York and L.A. cineplexes on December 9. The rest of us uncultured Americans will have to wait until January 19 to throw popcorn at it.

Given the setting, Law's presence, the poster portraits, the trailer's allusions to infidelity, and the press release's claim the film "explores the darker side of relationships and human emotion", this thing looks an awful lot like Closer lite.

"We've been jamming here in Abbey Road [studios] for a while now and having a really good time, producing some very different music," Hyde told Pitchfork late last year regarding Underworld's collaboration with Yared.

Minghella can dig it: "Witnessing Gabriel, Karl and Rick in a room together was a revelation," said the director in the aforementioned press release. Aw, group hug!
