Beck - Odelay
Beck's landmark Grammy-winning Odelay album goes deluxe edition with two CD pacakge featuring previously unreleased tracks and over a dozen recordings making their debuts.
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.
Odelay - Deluxe Edition celebrates the album ranked among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time," Spin's "100 Greatest Albums, 1985-2005," Pitchfork's "Top 100 Favorite Records of the 1990's," MOJO's "The 100 Greatest Albums of Our Lifetime 1993-2006" and NME's "Albums of the Year 1963-99." In addition to Grammy awards for Best Alternative Music Performance and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance (for "Where It's At"), Odelay was voted Best Album of the Year in The 1996 Village Voice Jazz & Pop Critics Poll…reaching double-platinum sales status along the way.
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."

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.
