United Kingdoms is an experimental album released in 1993 by the British electronic band Ultramarine on Blanco y Negro Records. The album fuses ambient music and electronica with elements of English folk music, and features guest vocals from Robert Wyatt. The song "Happy Land" uses a sample originating in "The Yellow Snake" by The Incredible String Band from their 1968 album Wee Tam and the Big Huge. The album spent one week on the UK Album Chart, peaking at No. 49.

I recently bought Ultramarine's United Kingdoms. 10 years after its initial release the electronic part of this record sounds a bit dated. But in those 10 years nobody ever came near that folky electronic sound that made Ultramarine so special. What does 'dated' really mean then? A forgotten classic.

Fantastic third album by Ultramarine (second album in the electronic-folk style the exemplified on "Every Man And Woman Is A Star"). Like no other electronic of the era. So human, yet so Earthly and somehow above/beyond humanity.

CD - Giant, Warner Bros. What should have been Ultramarine's breakout album, United Kingdom sank them with an audience expecting far-out ambient techno who received instead lukewarm folk-pop with only occasional electronic textures. The added vocals (from a heavy influence, the Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt) were a good idea, but United Kingdom sounds more like a Mike Oldfield LP from the 1970s rather than an electronic album of the 1990s.
