More than a collection of songs, Beck’s Morning Phase seamlessly transitions from one beautifully crafted piece to another. It begins like the first rays of light
filtering through the windows, picking up momentum as the album proceeds. From start to finish, it was just like waking
up. I honestly didn't want it to
end.
I've been a fan of Beck since “Loser” hit, back when I was a
precocious adolescent. His music has
evolved and grown. From his experimental
roots in lo-fi to his expertly layered pieces, Beck has matured as an
artist. His talent is impressive, and
deserving of accolade. I, for one, am
glad that he won a Grammy for this effort above the trite manufactured sounds
of the Pop Machine.
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip through Beck’s Morning
Phase. If you’d like to give it a
listen, the full album is available on Spotify. I plan to purchase this one; it deserves a place
with the rest of my collection.
