Free Music Notes for Beaucoup Fish
Free Music Review: Middle of the Pack
Hit: 3 Stars
Ahhh Underworld. You either love them or you hate them. Never really heard anyone say that "they're O.K.". Well, however people feel about Underworld, they are one of the biggest influences and contributors to the world of electronica. Their unique sound and track production has been a re-mix gold mine for world class British DJ's aplenty.
However, all great musical groups tend to fade as the years go by. For myself, Beaucoup Fish was the beginning for Underworld. Not a terrible album, but definitely not up to the caliber of their previous works. Although "Shudder/King Of Snake" is argueably the most infamous track on this album, my vote goes to "Kittens" as Beaucoup Fish's stunner.
Too many dud tracks dragged down my overall rating for this album. "Bruce Lee" is terrible. The last three tracks are not much better. I was disappointed with this effort despite buying it the week it was released (which by the way is 1998 and not 1999 as Amazon states). Eventhough two years elapsed since their last ablum, Beaucoup Fish always sounded rushed to me.
3/5 stars.
Beaucoup Fish Poster
The much-anticipated return of Underworld after 1996's landmark recording Second Toughest in the Infants, Beaucoup Fish is infused with subtle, lean rhythms, memorable hooks, and a youthful, sensuous energy. Alternately sinister and sweet, the endless DJ creativity on display is an ecstatic revelation. --Matthew CookeA stunning album of smart, dance-pop craft, Beaucoup Fish blends stomping beats and meandering, binary dream worlds into a cohesive and heavenly revelation. It's another work filled with Karl Hyde's singsong talk-vocals ("Push Downstairs") floating over DJ Darren Emerson's sinewy, house-style rave-ups ("King of Snake"), a sound that has distinguished them since 1993's Dubnobasswithmyheadman. On Beaucoup Fish, however, that sound slips around tracks that do more than patiently await the next thick coat of rhythm, building simple songs into a digitized, epic whole. There are eruptions of ecstatic melody on songs such as "Jumbo," while jerky dance tracks such as "Bruce Lee" open whole new avenues for bursting layers of rhythmic ambience. Underworld are doomed to be haunted forever by "Born Slippy" (popularized via the Trainspotting soundtrack), the world's first international rave anthem, yet Beaucoup Fish goes well beyond such timely phenomena, and works instead to free electronic music from its computer-age constraints. --Matthew Cooke
