General Interest The Information Product DescriptionUK-only pressing of the this 2006 album from musical renaissance-man Beck features two bonus tracks: 'Inside Out' and 'This Girl That I Know'. Three years in the making, the Information is the album Beck began work on in 2003 with producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead's OK Computer, Kid A Beck's Sea Change, Mutations) and finally completed this year once Guero's massive success and encore touring engagements, as well as Nigel's other commitments, were fulfilled. 17 tracks total. Interscope..Old-school Beck fans rejoice -The Information finds Beck Hansen in goofy mood for the first time sinceMidnite Vultures, chucking out inspired wisecracks and surrealist couplets like the sombre, acoustic-tinged moods of 2002'sSea Change never happened. Produced by sometime Beck collaborator Nigel Godrich, last seen working on Thom Yorke'sThe Eraser,The Information is a strange mix of bluesy Americana rootsiness, wonky hip-hop beats and cosmic synthesiser, all wound together in accordance with Beck's fried, futuristic, utterly individual vision. Most importantly, it's enjoyable and instantly accessible. The opening "Elevator Music" recalls the free-wheeling spirit of "Where It's At", all rolling beats, clacking Tropicalia scraper and distant melodica, while the excellent "Cellphone's Dead" imagines "Voodoo curses, Bible tongues/Voices coming from the mangled lungs" atop a track that veers between squelchy hip hop andScreamadelica-style acoustic strum. And sure, it gets weirdsee the broiling, funky cyberpunk narrative "1000 BPM" ("Telemarketing people with cellular headsets on their skulls/Selling you wisdom from a plexiglass prism,") or the 12-minute finale "Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton", which ends with a hushed conversation about travelling into space, possibly born of Beck's membership of Hollywood celeb-religion Scientologybut the out-there moments bookend some of Beck's finest, funnest material in years.
