Album Notes Underworld: Karl Hyde, Rick Smith, Darren Emerson.Additional personnel: Andrew Flashman, Maru, Petra, Phil Dore, Todd, Reiko (spoken vocals); Trevor Morais (drums).Engineers: Rick Smith, Tom Morrison, Mike Nielsen.Every few years an album comes along that effectively defines a short piece of time. Underworld, the infinitely patient trio from Romford that manages to put out such a period-defining album every couple years does it again with BEAUCOUP FISH. The simple leitmotifs that grow, repeat and build on each other make up the symphony that is every Underworld song. In a return to a more vocal-oriented style, Underworld moves toward a more traditional song structure. The addition of live instruments makes this a more organic-sounding record than most in the electronic dance genre. The bubbling loop that permeates the opener "Cups" finally jumps to the forefront and takes the song in an entirely new direction with a syncopated coda of synth stabs and chopped-up vocal samples. The two-part "Push," with its pseudo-evangelical rant and the late-night-driving "Jumbo" (which brings to mind 10CC) mix vocal samples with a wash of strings and keyboards. The dissonant guitar samples at the beginning of "Shudder/King of Snake" give way to a distorted loop. BEAUCOUP FISH-mature, complex and well worth the three-year wait.

Report this review Reviews  Underworld Beaucoup Fish le de jue jueReview created: 15/11/07 by: I bought this CD because it came out in 1999. 1999 was the happiest time of my life- I went to a Japanese High School for 6 months. I have tried to track as much music down from 1999 as possible to try to recall the vibe at the time and how I felt. The track King Of Snake is the only track which stands out as 'tune.' It would have been alot better with a more upbeat techno rhythm (I'm sure you can find a high energy remix online). One of the other singles Push Upstairs, I have a Rodger S BLue Plastic People Remix on disc 2 of Massive Dance 99 VOL.2, which is which better than the origional version, bringing the track to average listenable track. Aside from that though, the album is crap- I find it hard to believe that this is the same group who created lager lager lager (Born Slippy). You can download albums and album tracks for free online now, but this isn't anything worth your time (whether your on the move or whatever). 2004 was the year I bought this CD from Music Dog @ £6, and I don't recall listening to it and thinking 'oh yeah,' on any track. I'd already heard King Of Snake on the Kevin Perry Go Large OST (which I guessed was by Underworld, taking int consideration it shared the same vocals as Born Slippy). Ideal listening situation is lying on your bead half a sleep, but I wouldn't even recomend the CD for bonfire fuel. Review ID: 10000000004661014 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
