Beck - Guero

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

It's a cracker folks - well worth checking out.
Best LP since Odelay, and indeed one of my faves this year so far....

Will be buying this with my next paycheck.
I like most of Becks output, I'm sure I won't be disappointed

Been enjoying this for a while,never really regarded myself as a Beck fan but listening through his back catalogue recently I realise he's made an impeccable selection of rekkidz over the years.

BoC
Royksopp
Dizzee Rascal

The BOC remix is amazing. The Royksopp one is OK, except I feel they should have dropped the chorus out of it and focus more on the verses, for which the ambience is perfect. I don't care much for the two other remixes, and I wonder why the fantastic remix of Hell Yes by 8-bit is not here!

Have had Guero on repeat play for a few months now – it's great. Best of both types of Beck album, mixing the strings and melancholy of Sea Change with the chunky Dust Bros production of Odelay. Love it. Rental Car's my favourite track. It's bonkers.
