N - Morning Phase is a beautiful album. Sea Change is very good too. These 2 are often seen as sort of complementing one another - but you probably already know that. I don't own anything else by Beck but these two. From what I've sampled and read, I believe they are kind of unique in his discography. In my O-pinion, they are "brilliant" (to borrow that overused Brit adjective). If you know anything else he's done that is in a similar vein, let me know.
Did listen to Healing Colors by Spock's Beard this AM. It's a complex and sprawling composition. Great musicianship but (no offense) it just doesn't do it for me...I don't come away thinking, "I have to listen to that again!" Sorry. Am not passing judgement on the merit's of SB - just reporting my response. Glad you enjoy and admire them.
To misquote Bogie, "We'll always have Glenn Hughes."
