Tambourines in an cement mixer.




I haven't posted on here in quite a while so I've decided to remedy that. I think that I need to give recognition to some amazing music I've listened to in the last few weeks and months.

This is probably his best work since Odelay. The whole album flows together so well. I've probably listened to this album at least 30x through, Beck is frequently the soundtrack to adventures in the Volvo. The music is this odd fusion of sounds, it feels anachronistic, a blend of sounds from the near future and the past.


So yes, my previous post was about this album but now I actually have listened to it a bunch. It's beautiful and diverse. At times subtle and soft and at times bright and obvious. If you like the talking heads, you'll like this album. The instrumentals Eno has done up are wondrous. These two were really meant to work together, you can listen to their critically acclaimed 'Remain in Light' Talking Heads collaboration for further evidence of that.
