Tune of the Day

@ghosthouse ,

Either we are brothers in music or good taste in music must be contagious! Either one is just fine with me.

I’ll check out the "Weird Fishes".

BTW, how did you like the rest of "Mutations"?  "Bottle of Blues" comes to mind as a stand out.

@slaw - I did listen to the whole of Mutations straight through and enjoyed it.  I recall checking the title on "Bottle of Blues" because the song struck me (in a good way) and I wanted to know what it was called.  Honestly though, I'd have to go back and re-listen to the album again and maybe a few more times for it to kind of get fixed in my head in support of any deeper comments.  An initial impression is that it is not as consistently strong all the way through as Sea Change or Morning Phase.  I thought the songs in the last 1/2 or last 1/3 were not as good as earlier in the recording BUT, again, I need to give it more time.  I do believe I could hear "seeds" of Sea Change or Morning Phase in it.  Definitely a good recommendation.  Thanks. 

@ghosthouse ,

You definately have a way, (good way), of describing a first listen. I do believe that your previous post....in need of another lp to complete a trilogy in addition to how or when either one of these 3 Beck lps one hears first, DOES have an affect on the end user’s relational nature of these great lps. And they are great.

Mutations was actually the very first Beck lp I ever purchased, so I may view it in a somewhat different way. I think overall, I take it in as (a whole). I’m putting on my best copy now. (that says something..)

(With "Mutations", one isn’t always ready to hear , what they hear, from one song to the next. This (may) be the reason for the title. This is one lp to explore over & over again......then you’ll be glad you did.)

Could it be his MOST complex/daring lp ever?...IMO, yes. IMO, he was at his peek here, without him knowing it. Absolute Brilliance!

Cheers!

_ell yeah!

@slaw 
Definitely planning to give Mutations another listen - soon!  Interesting to read the high regard you have for it.  Yup, it preceded by a couple of years Sea Change which was earlier than Morning Phase...so definitely the first installment of my imaginary "trilogy".

I read the Beck entry in Wikipedia.  He's a member of a younger generation and a culture I don't "get" - never the less, I respect the dues he's paid and his obvious talents as a musician.
