Album Description
Available in:
Midnite vultures est le septième album de Beck Hansen sorti le 22 novembre 1999 et son quatrième album chez Geffen Records.
Après le « retour aux sources » que présentait le précédent opus, Beck choisit ici de s'orienter vers un son dansant, axé funk et latino. Cet éclectisme propre à l’œuvre du chanteur et multi-instrumentaliste, et bien qu'à l'origine du succès de l'album Odelay (premier succès, en 1994), ne parvint pas cette fois à remporter l'unanimité. Toutefois les ventes restent correctes (plus de 740 000 copies écoulées au États-Unis) et les critiques, globalement satisfaites.
Il atteindra la 34ème place des charts américains et la 19ème au Canada, et sera nommé aux Grammy Awards de 2001 (mais battu par Two Against Nature de Steely Dan).
User Album Review
By 1999 Beck Hansen had established himself as the king of cut 'n' paste hip-pop. His eclectic sampleology, mixed with a canny ear for a folk lope had made both Mellow Gold and Odelay into massive testaments to slacker culture and were the apotheosis of post-modernism in popular music. With a mild diversion into tropicalia and blues with Mutations he'd briefly wrong-footed his fans and proven that he was an extremely versatile little Scientologist. But with Midnite Vultures he was to turn into ...well, Prince.
All those years spent in the lo-fi bedroom were now discarded as Beck went out on the town and celebrated sexuality, albeit in his own collage-based way. Yes, Midnite Vultures is Beck's sex album. The lyrics remain as delightfully obtuse (has anyone ever worn a ''hepatitus contact lense''?), yet it also proved that the mutant funk evident on the best cuts of Odelay were no accident. Numbers like Nicotine And Gravy or Sexx Laws showed the boy to be as danceable as hell. While the final cut: the marathon lovefest, Debra showed him taking a stab at Al Green or James Brown territory.
It's a feisty and fun jaunt through the imagination of an imp just as perverse as the Purple One.
