Product Description

Mojo (1/00, p.30) - Ranked #18 in Mojo Magazine's "Best of 1999"
CMJ (1/10/00, p.5) - Ranked #14 in CMJ's "Top 30 Editorial Picks [for 1999]."
Muzik (1/00, p.69) - Ranked #10 in Muzik's "Albums Of The Year '99"
Rolling Stone (4/29/99, p.68) - 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..."
Spin (4/99, pp.157-158) - 7 (out of 10) - "...the British trio hit on a formula that mixes agression and gibberish in just the right proportions..."
MOJO (03/99 p. 84) - "...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."
New Musical Express (4/3/99, p.41) - "...Underworld's third LP brought still more soul to their mix and was a lesson in flexibilty to the increasingly homogenous militia."
Entertainment Weekly (4/16/99, pp.56-57) - "...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
Q (4/99, p.107) - 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..."
Magnet (4/99, pp. 81-82) - "...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..."
Muzik (1/00, p.69) - "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..."
CMJ (4/12/99, p.3) - "...showcases a more mature, album-oriented Underworld, travelling from over-the-top club maelstroms to ominous, gothic ballads to choppy, experimental rap..."

(Super Deluxe Box Setについてのレビュー...

投稿日:2021/03/07 (日)

(Super Deluxe Box Setについてのレビュー)4CDセットのうち2CDが他人に任せたリミックス集。F.KやFatboy Slimなど興味深いメンツもいるが、あくまでも「オマケ」これを目的に高価なボックスセットを買うのは失敗の可能性がある。CD2の未発表曲と60pageブックレット(アルバム、シングルジャケットのアウトテイク集とタイポグラフィーの組み合わせは一見の価値有り)は悪くないが、全体的に見ればマニア、コレクター向け。

ふわふわと感じのイントロから躍動感溢れるダンサブルなビートに変わる。多彩なリズムと美しい音が渦巻きながら出会う感じ。ABCFが好きかな(後でシングル化されてますね)。タイトルからして中国風(?)なFの女性Voが曲の雰囲気と合ってると思う。
