I remember stopping at Aaron’s Records in Hollywood (R.I.P.) to get my copy the day it dropped and not being disappointed in the slightest. With its focus more on acoustic folk and blues, the album served as only an appetizer for the much anticipated “Vultures” with the DJ Swamp production. Needing to fill the gap between albums, Geffen released ‘Mutations’ in 1998 against Beck’s wishes…which led to a lot of lawsuits that no one seems quite sure are even resolved. Some albums are universally loved, others are universally hated…and some fall somewhere in-between, like Beck’s 1999 release “Midnight Vultures.”Īfter his debut with “Mellow Gold” and it’s hit single ‘Loser,’ Beck really broke through with 1996’s Dust Brother’s produced “Odelay.” With it’s sample heavy production and hip hop beats driving singles like ‘Devils Haircut’ and “Where it’s at’, he was no longer considered a flash in the pan and he began working on his next move.
V8296 SEL#25 BECK- Midnite Vultures HONG KONG.
'Milk & Honey' and 'Mixed Bizness' perfectly display all of the different approaches Beck uses with electronic effects, from eruptive discharges of cosmic sounds. In Midnite Vultures, electronic sequences serve to play a prominent role in the musical structure of almost every song on the album, adding a higher level of spontaneity to the music.
