Beaucoup Fish is a 1999 (see 1999 in music) album by Underworld. At the time, it was their most hyped release, and the video for "Push Upstairs" was played regularly on MTV and MTV2. This was due to the huge success of their single Born Slippy from the soundtrack of Trainspotting (film). "Push Upstairs" and the second single "Jumbo" were both hits on the dance charts and in clubs. Beaucoup Fish was well-received critically (some reviews calling it "electronica's Dark Side of the Moon") and remains Underworld's best-selling album. Image File history File links Underworld. ...

NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Beaucoup Fish (2136 words)
This is the second release of the new single from Beaucoup Fish.
Third album Beaucoup Fish saw them continue to consolidate their position as the world's premiere four-to-the-floor techno band.
Beaucoup Fish is a steady step above second LP Second Toughest in the Infants, and while it never scales the more spectacular heights of Underworld's aforementioned debut, this album sounds like a grower, and will likely appear in a lot of Top Ten lists come December.
