Beaucoup Fish Survivor Round 9

[holden]

If it ends up Cups versus Jumbo, that's gonna be tough, since both capture various themes of Underworld so well: "Cups" as a sort of claustrophobic modernity and "Jumbo" of relationships and awe. Plus, the music of both is so dreamy. But "Cups" will get my vote for taking all that smoothness and underlying vocal tension and resolving it with the final 3-4 minutes of dancefloor madness! When i first heard the album, the part where "Cups" kicks into synthy goodness made me gasp! Then, the stop-time and restart near the end....oh boy! Kittens is fun for the rumbling beat, but when the cat-on-the-keyboard highpitched pads come in, i lose interest...it goes nowhere.
