beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
There's a promo cd for the beaucoup fish album which is a 2cd - an emerson mix & an interview with karl disc.
Is it worth having/hearing? Tracklisting is as follows I believe: Underworld - minneapolis bjork - human behaviour (underworld mix) underworld - mmm skyscraper lemon interupt - dirty shakespeares sister - black sky (underworld mix) underworld - rez sven vath - harlequin (underworld mix) underworld - kittens underworld - king of snake underworld - tongue |

Re: beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
Yes its worth having, its interview with the whole band as I remember correctly. They all talk - Karl, Rick and Darren. Its nice to hear them all talking about Beaucoup Fish. I have the cd many years. Also Darren Emerson mix is great.
My advice is to buy it. You know there is another interview with Karl about Everything Everything era... this interview could be also great, I dont have it, but I wish. Cheers.

Re: beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
well - I've seen it go for silly money
but I managed to find a copy for not too much (I honestly forget how much I paid, but certainly not as much as what you'd see on like... eil.com) the mix itself... well - apparently, Darren did it in a rush - and it shows. Some tracks kinda just ram into each other, if I remember correctly (my copy is sitting in storage back in the US, and I didn't bother ripping it to my computer)... although, I guess it's not that bad - I think the 'issues' with it, are more b/c of the wide range of bpm's so don't expect it to be nearly as good as any of the radio shows or other promo mixes (edit) but yea - it's a "nice thing to have" |

Re: beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
It's a cool little package and the interview is very good. The mix CD is simply the listed tracks segued into one another in sequence with standard beatmatching, nothing fancy like you might expect. The most notable thing is that the original version of Rez is sped up by a considerable percentage.

Re: beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
Picked this up from ebay back in the day and I still put on that mix every now and again. The first half has some nice long crossfades from one track to the next, so that makes for some good listening : )
If I recall correctly, you don't actually hear the audio from the interviewer for the interview disc. It was meant to be sent to radio stations so that the DJs could ask the questions themselves and then play the band's response. You could have some fun with that angle of it.

Re: beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
that 'marketing trick' goes back a lot further than the 90s.
the mix has loads of great tracks but as joethelion says, it's so poorly mixed that it doesn't really lend itself to repeat plays.

Re: beaucoup fish promo mix & interview cd
the mix, as everyone has said, is a bit sloppy, and the sound quality of the first two tracks are piss poor, with the sibilance distortion on bjork's vocals borderline unlistenable. also - barely any of "tongue" is included, just a few scant seconds before a unceremonious fade-out, so it's confusing why it's even there at all. but the sven vath remix sounds amazing in this context - i almost didn't recognize it at first. and the shakespeare's sister mix is one of the best things they've ever done.
the whole package is good to own but i'm glad i didn't spend too much money on it . . . |
