Well, I only bought the CD two years ago, so it doesn't mean much to me...

But, when Beacoup Fish reaches 10 it will! I remember back in the day, I had a paper route, and a long one too, so it would take me roughly the length of one CD to finish it. I didn't have many CDs...a few of my Dad's which I liked, and then You've Come a Long Way, Baby and Exit Planet Dust which I bought after hearing that funk soul brother song on TV and thinking the music was really cool. I think it was amazon.com that recommended me Underworld, and I bought "the fish" and listened to it like, at least twice a week. And I never looked back...

Well, maybe I did. I kind of lost track of them after that, only to download a few tracks via some filesharing service in 2002, hearing the live Rez/Cowgirl and Two Months Off and realizing that I had totally forgotten about these guys!

almost same story here...
But my first Underworld CD was a burned copy of Everything, Everything back in 2000 or 2001 when i was only around 11 years old.
I listened to it every day and it became my favourite album (not very hard because it was my first real album).
Early 2004 i read something about 'Beaucoup Fish'... then i discovered that they had released AHDO and the anthology and i didn't notice it.
Of course i bought those CDs immediately (and an original copy of EE).
Now in 2006 i have all the albums, (almost) all singles, some promos and even some really rare stuff...
I've never understood why they don't get more attention here in Germany.
Maybe because the majority of Germans think 'techno = Scooter'?
