Why it's here

Push Upstairs, Jumbo, Cups; the trilogy's exhausted, beautiful end

Beaucoup Fish is the exhausted, beautiful end of Underworld's great trilogy, 'Push Upstairs' and 'Jumbo' and 'King of Snake' proving the band still had set-defining tracks in them even as the run wound down. It's more polished and slightly less urgent than the two records that preceded it, the sound of a group at the end of a creative peak. It ranks at seventy-four because it's the trilogy's coda rather than its summit, but the coda is still superb.
