very very similar in feel and sound to sea change, which i've always had mixed feelings about. the new album's pretty, and good sounding, and he's got a nice feel for melody, but with beck i always hear more intellect/craft than genuine musicality/inspiration. plus he's never been much of a singer, although again he's smart enough to minimize his limitations. i feel the same way about bowie and madonna.
Beck / Morning Phases
You might as well add it to Audiogon Recordings To Die For list. This recording has it in spades,wall to wall sound,layers of imaging and the music sounds like Sea Change. a handfull songs sound like Pink Floyd but without Gilmour's guitar, two of them Morning and Turn Away,the vocal mix has me reaching for my Moody Blues albums.Other songs are very intimate classic Beck. This so far is the masterpiece of 2014. Oh yeah this is from the CD,I'm waiting on my vinyl copy.
