Reviews
"...Underworld's third LP brought still more soul to their mix and was a lesson in flexibilty to the increasingly homogenous militia.", 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...darkly physical grooves that seduce psyche, body and soul without resorting to instant hooks or easily understood concepts...", "...picks up where founding fathers like Brian Eno and Kraftwerk left off by concentrating on pared-down, melodic pieces, complete with what could be constured as verses and choruses....marks yet another engrossing chapter in the perpetual evolution of techno..." - Rating: A, "...BEAUCOUP FISH proves that the real deal with electronic music is not that it is fast and crazy....but allows for perfect recall of sounds and moments....music like Underworld's can have a texture as rich, emotive and individual as memory itself.", Ranked #10 in Muzik's "Albums of the Year '99", "...showcases a more mature, album-oriented Underworld, travelling from over-the-top club maelstroms to ominous, gothic ballads to choppy, experimental rap...", 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...Beaucoup Fish finds them continuing down an individualistic path as they pull in strands from electronic influences such as Kraftwerk...Giorgio Moroder...and Yello...", "...Rather than adopt the happy faces of house, the saintly roar of modern minimalist/classical, the bugged-out rhythms of drum 'n' bass or the sloped dope of dub, the first great album of '99 revels in all these styles....Underworld seems to be funkin' for nirvana...", 7 (out of 10) - "...the British trio hit on a formula that mixes agression and gibberish in just the right proportions...", Ranked #18 in Mojo Magazine's "Best of 1999in, Ranked #14 in Cmj's "Top 30 Editorial Picks for 1999.", "A brutal, bruising take on the band's unique techno template....the melodies were infectious as ever. Trance tunes, swirling basslines and stupendous piano chuggers..."
