Beaucoup Fish by Underworld

Beaucoup Fish was the fifth album from Underworld, and when it landed in the late '90s it was the most anticipated thing they'd ever done, because Trainspotting had turned "Born Slippy .NUXX" into a phenomenon. Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, the pair at the heart of the group since they formed in Cardiff, were still working with Darren Emerson, and this was the last studio album he'd make with them, the third in their techno-and-house incarnation.

Smith produced, and the record moves the way their best work always does: long, hypnotic builds, pulsing beats and Hyde's cryptic, stream-of-consciousness vocals riding on top. It threw off a run of hit singles, "Push Upstairs", "Jumbo" and "Moaner", the last of which had already turned up in the film Batman & Robin. The album got a remastered reissue, with deluxe and super-deluxe editions, in 2017.
