DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Eclectic Mix of Techno Downbeat Electronica / Leftfield & Tech House.
"Beaucoup Fish" is the fifth album by Underworld, released in 1999. Following the huge success of the single "Born Slippy" from its use in the film Trainspotting, Beaucoup Fish was Underworld's most anticipated release. It spawned several successful singles, including "Push Upstairs", "Jumbo" and "Moaner", which was previously used in the film Batman & Robin. "Beaucoup Fish" was well-received critically (one review calling it 'electronica's "The Dark Side of the Moon"') and remains Underworld's most successful album, with over one million copies sold. It is the last studio album to feature Darren Emerson who departed in 2001 and third album by the techno / house orientated version of Underworld which became active in about 1991/1992 (tracks were being released around this time under the names Lemon Interupt and Underworld). I personally remember this being a particularly arresting album in 1999, with a rollercoaster of dynamics which took you to the dizzying heights of techno stompers "Push Upstairs" & "King Of Snake" and down to the come-down frazzled lullabies of "Skym" and "Winjer" via the Portishead-esque introspection of "Push Downstairs" and the baggy breakbeats of "Bruce Lee". A classic.

Last FM Information on Underworld
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Underworld are a British electronic music group formed in 1987 in Cardiff, Wales, and are primarily the collaborative project of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith.
Initially performing as a funk and synth-pop band, Underworld released two albums between 1988 and 1989 before shifting their musical direction toward dance and techno in the early 1990s. This change brought them critical and commercial success with albums such as "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" (1994), "Second Toughest in the Infants" (1996), and "Beaucoup Fish" (1999). They are also known for singles including "Born Slippy Nuxx" and "Dark & Long (Dark Train)", which became defining tracks of the electronic music scene of the era.
Underworld are recognized for their atmospheric and evolving compositions, Karl Hyde’s abstract and stream-of-consciousness lyrical style, and their energetic live performances. Their work has influenced a broad range of electronic and alternative artists, and their music has been widely featured in film and television soundtracks.
