Beck’s major label debut, Mellow Gold, introduced him to the world in 1994 but it was 1996’s Odelay that became a bellwether for the alternative rock movement. Now, a dozen years after its original release, Odelay has been expanded into a two-CD Deluxe Edition with the addition of two never-before-released tracks from the original sessions, a soundtrack contribution, and 16 b-sides and compilation tracks never-before-released in the U.S.
Forging a sound from the roots of folk, blues, rock and hip hop with the sensibilities of D.I.Y, noise, experimental music and the possibilities of modern technology, Odelay stands (as discussed in the All-Music Guide) as “a dense, endlessly intriguing album overflowing with ideas…a fluid, creative, and startlingly original work.”
