nice song playing on the site. beck is one of my favorite artists ever.
i don't know about guerolito though, i hate all the guero remixes except for broken drum which is really beautiful.

beck is the man. i never got around to getting "Sea Change" but i like the version of "it's all in your mind" that is one there. really beautiful.

beck is awesome, really great musician.
staz: i think most of these are new, i was hoping it would have the remixes from the hell yes 12" which are really good, but only one is on there (ghettochip malfunction).
oddio: get sea change!!! it is a beautiful album, slow and sad but worth it. i didn't get into it for a while but when i finally bought it i was amazed.
(the original version of all in your mind is, imo, better for its folky oldness)

ghettochip malfuction is my favorite remix of those. quite good. i love all of beck's releases, although guero is my least favorite. my favorites would probably be one foot in the grave, mellow gold, midnight vultures and golden leftovers. sea change is great, but i rarely listen to it cause it's so "heavy" in a way. i like the bizarre, psychedelic beck the most. the old lyrics. they all capture a very definitive feeling. very unique. lovely feelings being expressed. lots of vivid humor. precise sentimentality.
but it's all good. and this material on the site sounds really fucking nice.
also, "midnite vultures" (the track) must be one of my favorite tunes by his. i just felt like sharing that, for some reason.

yes, both versions each have their own charm. i love how beck can do a lot of different styles comfortably, and successfully.
my favorite song by beck has to be "derelict." he's not using any vinyl samples, he's just doing all that crazy work himself. just an eerie, narciliptically awesome song.

i saw him live on my birthday this year - i highly highly HIGHLY suggest anyone who gets a chance bares the HIGH price and pays it - he's AMAZING live
they amplified a dinner table and his band made backing tracks using the cuttlery / plates / etc - it was NUTS !
guerolito is pretty lame considering i had these remixes already - but whatever...

Hello, euphonicfilter. What's your fav+ Beck album? Mine's "Midnight Vultures" I'm loving the Rick James early eighties influence on it. I didn't like his stuff much after that though, got a bit bland.

weird i consider midnight vultures his worst album
i like mellow gold & odelay - theyre a great mish/mash of styles and never really sit still (great for a short attention span like me) - but his other albums, mutations / sea changes / guero - have some AMAZING songs on them too...though as albums they're less consistent
one foot in the grave i dont really consider one of his albums...but it has its moments too !

I dunno, with Midnight Vultures he seemed to take it to the next level with really punchy, fun, party music and some nice little electronic flourishes. It seemed to be the next logical step for him. As for his acoustic stuff, I much prefer the early one foot in the grave/mellow gold tracks to "Sea Change" I only really liked "Paper Tigers".

well...on all of his albums beside mid. vult. he had a very distinct beck flare / style
on mid. vult. he cashed that in for ripping off prince - it didnt do anything for me - there already is a prince we dont need another - the album just feels amazingly cheesey and annoying - its like its marketed to teenage girls or little kids (yes even though "sexx laws" is the first track)
its like there is some terrible party in the suburbs where white girls who wear abercrombie & fitch clothing and are on the track team and are 15 are dancing around their retarded football team boyfriend singing
at least...what?

I don't don't think that's fair, he was ripping off Prince and Rick James!

well coming from someone who doesnt think much of prince, besides that i find his music hilarious i guess my conclusions about other people doing prince (haha...doing prince) would be logical, in that i dont care for it

the only 8-bit remix on guerolito is hell yes, which is amazing. but the hell yes ep is really worth mentioning, those are really good tracks.
so i bought this, the mixes are pretty good, much different than the album. it's like a bastardized version of guero, the track listing is the same. so far it's pretty good, the hell yes remix alone was worth the $10 i paid for it.

"weird i consider midnight vultures his worst album" > me too. i love all the others, but midnite vultures is unequal... some tracks are great, some are just average in my opinion.
"but the hell yes ep is really worth mentioning, those are really good tracks."
> definitely! : ) the remixes of hell yes and of e-pro on the hell yes ep are amazing. the e-pro one if one of the best songs of 2005, as good if not better as the original.
"beck sux" > no, this post sucks. (and maybe you too.) what's even the point of posting this? grow up please.
"beck is one of my favorite artists ever." > yup. he's really great. : )
"except for broken drum which is really beautiful." > really? ' _ ' i thought that broken drum remix wasn't too good. (but that's not really a surprise, since i already find that boards of canada aren't too good and that broken drum was the least good track on guero. oh well. i will stop bitching now, beck is really great.)

"Que' Onda Guero" more accuratley depicts hispanic los angeles more than any other song ive ever heard. my favorite lyric is
"Yeah now I'm going to LACC I'm taking a ceramics class"

yeah, beck is good. got all his cds and listen to them heaps.
guero wasnt my favourite release, .. though im kiiinda liking it more (used to hate it). though, guerolito could be good cos bocs remix is awesome (they got a boring repetetive song and made it bliss, imo). and its got some other fun moments : D
hell yes is being released as a single soon. id LOVE it if the cd single had the 8bit remixes, ...
