  • "Come 1999 and the turn of the millennium, Underworld were untouchable. Following two sterling albums and the blockbuster international success of 'Born Slippy,' Karl Hyde and Rick Smith joined DJ Darren Emerson one final time. Released on March 1, 1999, Beaucoup Fish was a long-gestating, massive-selling, Mercury Prize-nominated double-album, which the group once more wrapped in the attractive visuals of their own Tomato design collective. Despite recording sessions taking place remotely, with each band member in a different place, Underworld ensured that Beaucoup Fish excelled in its combination of rhythm and texture. Vocodered deep-house opener 'Cups' appeared to fit snugly into the bar-grooves scene of the time, prefacing the night ahead. Breaths of fresh air continue to be drawn deep, stolen from the vice-like grip of gnarly keyboards on the blissed-out, rippling night-drive single 'Jumbo.' Elsewhere, aware that Donna Summer’s 'I Feel Love' bassline is always well worth quoting, Underworld do so with aplomb as they slither into the dazzling Japanese fever-dream travelogue 'King Of Snake,' with its hyped-up Chicagoan piano. If 'Born Slippy' marked their singles peak, in album terms Underworld delivered their most complete work with Beaucoup Fish: a full stop to the era of 90s dance music. Stuffed with fully crafted material, it both locked itself to dancefloors and provided a tactile mass of references for the group’s legions of fans to tease apart." - Virgin
