BECK - MODERN GUILT - 2008 ORIGINAL RELEASE DGC RECORDS RELEASE - NOW OUT OF PRINT AND BECOMING TREMENDOUSLY RARE - 180 GRAM VIRGIN VINYL INCLUDES BONUS DOWNLOAD OF ENTIRE ALBUM FROM HIGH FIDELITY MP3 (320 KBPS) CONVERTED FROM VINYL ON iPOD COMPATIBLE, OPEN MP3.

Beck's new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton.

The new album contains 10 new songs, and with the exception of last year's Grammy-nominated, digital-only single "Timebomb", Modern Guilt is the first new material Beck has written since the prolific stretch that produced 2005's platinum Guero and 2006's universally acclaimed The Information.

Modern Guilt is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off the cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor. Musically, the album's ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse's shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism and orchestration.

PLUS AS A BONUS WE ARE ADDING BECK'S ORIGINAL RELEASE FROM INTERSCOPE RECORDS GUEROLITO 2 LP SET

The nicest thing you can do for your stylus and your ears. The ultimate record -- the way music was meant to be heard and this is mymusicfix's one of last out of print copy forever.

There have been so few vinyl LPs produced over the last 5 years that you should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.

MODERN GUILT - 2008 has been a prolific year for releases from major artists (REM, Counting Crows, The Black Crowes, Colplay, Alanis Morrisette, Lil Wayne, etc etc). Most of these releases have been worthy of praise, but I have found a few flaws in all of them. Call me an idiot, but I cant find any flaws in Beck's new release, Modern Guilt, although I am sure some reviewers are itching to point some flaws out to me.

As Beck gets closer to 40, his songwriting has matured. He seems to use fewer samples than he used to. He still wears his influences on his sleeve, but his personality is all over the music. His collaboration with Danger Mouse worked well. The "beats" are paced well enough to make the entire album easy to enjoy in one listen, but you will want to listen again as soon as you're done.

Becks lyrics have always been quirky and obtuse, and this album is no exception. But this time the imagery seems thicker and more foreboding. The bodies drowning in the moody and ethereal "Chemtrails" are certainly morose and some may think Beck a bit paranoid, but he may be justified. The crunchy, guitar driven "Profanity Prayers" could be the highlight of the album and is my personal favorite. "Who's gonna answer profanity prayers" is quite a slap in the face of modern man. Our calls to a higher power have become nothing more than four letter words. Beck addresses a higher power at several points and he certainly makes more sense than the hair sprayed con men on TV.

Beck has proven here that middle age doesnt dull creativity. The songs Ive mentioned above along with the bass heavy "Orphans", "Gamma Ray" and "Youthless" easily rank along with some his best songs. (I know this sounds weird...but I can picture Austin Powers doing his "shag dance" to "Gamma Ray"). Some of the songs are experiments, such as the slightly eccentric "Replica", but the experiments work. You may need to listen more than once, but none of the songs are filler. Every song has something to offer and seems as if it will offer even more the next time you listen.

If Beck isnt nominated for at least Alternative Album of the Year, the academy of music and recorded arts is a bunch of idiots.

TRACKS:

1. Orphans 2. Gamma Ray 3. Chemtrails 4. Modern Guilt 5. Youthless 6. Walls 7. Replica 8. Soul of A Man 9. Profanity Prayers

10. Volcano

GUERLITO - Guerolito is a remix companion to the critically acclaimed Guero, which included the singles "E-Pro," "Hell Yes," and "Girl". It features an eclectic lineup of artists handpicked by Beck to create Guero's multidimensional bizzaro twin, and includes remixes by Air, Ad Rock (Beastie Boys), EL-P, Boards of Canada, Mario C., 8 Bit, and more. Additionally, Guero cover artist Marcel Dzama has "remixed" the album's artwork.

If you find yourelf hankering for more of Mr. Hansen's work this holiday season, you really can't go wrong with his new remix album "Guerolito," hardcore Beck fan or not. If you're a Beck completist (which I am), you'll discover after your first listen that only nine of the album's 14 tracks are new -- a few were snagged from the deluxe version of "Guero," a few more from the vinyl- and online-only "Ghettochip Malfunction" EP, and a few from the "Girl" and "E-Pro" singles.

1.   Ghost Range (E-Pro) 2.   Que Onda Guero 3.   Girl 4.   Heaven Hammer (Missing) 5.   Shake Shake Tambourine (Black Tambourine) 6.   Terremoto Tempo (Earthquake Weather) 7.   Ghettochip Malfunction (Hell Yes) 8.   Broken Drum 9.   Scarecrow 10.   Wish Coin (Go It Alone) 11.   Farewell Ride 12.   Rental Car 13.   Emergency Exit 14.   Clap Hands 15.   Que Onda Guero 16.   Broken Drum
