Underworld’s unique brand of quirky electronica brought them to the fore in 1996 with their single ‘Born Slippy.NUXX’ appearing in the soundtrack of Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting. Their follow-up album “Beaucoup Fish” was their most highly anticipated release to date, a groove-heavy, genre-bending release that moves from techno anthems Cups and Sudder/King Of Snake to house-infused gems like Push Upstairs and Bruce Lee. The album was remastered and re-released on 25 August 2017 with deluxe and super-deluxe expanded editions. This super deluxe edition includes a selection of rare and unreleased material from the extensive session and edits leading up to the release of the record in 1999.

With the buzz almost completely died down from “Born Slippy,” Underworld’s Trainspotting hit of over two years before, Beaucoup Fish emerged to a distinctly uncaring public. And though it is a disappointing record compared to the group’s high-flying previous albums, it displays Underworld’s talents well – the trio is still the best at welding obtuse songcraft onto an uncompromising techno framework and making both sound great. Karl Hyde’s nasally vocals are a bit more obtrusive on tracks like the trance-rant “Moaner” and first single “Push Upstairs,” but as before, impeccable production saves the day. While Second Toughest in the Infants showed Underworld were no mere novices at introducing super-tough breakbeats, here the focus is on throwback acid-house and trance. The effect is that Underworld have refused to compromise their artistic vision to anyone’s view of commercialism; as such, the few excesses on Beaucoup Fish can be forgiven.
