HMV Review

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. 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, Rovi

ふわふわと感じのｲﾝﾄﾛから躍動感溢れるﾀﾞﾝｻﾌﾞﾙなﾋﾞｰﾄに変わる｡多彩なﾘｽﾞﾑと美しい音が渦巻きながら出会う感じ｡②③④⑦が好きかな(後でｼﾝｸﾞﾙ化されてますね)｡ﾀｲﾄﾙからして中国風(?)な⑦の女性Voが曲の雰囲気と合ってると思う｡

粉雪の様に繊細なﾋﾞｰﾄが静かに降り積もり、薄暗い浮遊空間はﾁｶﾁｶと瞬きを繰り返す。ﾊﾟｽﾞﾙのﾋﾟｰｽが少しずつ埋まってゆく様に、徐々に骨格を現す情景が多幸感を煽る。淡く美しい音像の中に潜むしなやかな挑発や、爆発的な瞬発力を見せるｱﾀｯｸ感等、多種多様なｱﾌﾟﾛｰﾁが心地良い。
