The sampling and drum looping present on songs like The New Pollution and Hotwax opened up my eyes to working alone and slaving over musical detail. вЂOdelay!вЂ™ really shaped how I made music when I began. To this day, it remains my favourite record of his and definitely the first port-of-call for the uninitiated or non-believer. Looking back, it seems like a fitting introduction - first hearing the derelict and dilapidated music of my soon-to- be hero on a rapidly deteriorating piece of magnetic tape. Someone in my homestead possessed a copy of вЂOdelay!вЂ™ (1996) on cassette. His shtick was a collage of folk-rock and punk riffs doused in country flavour and hip-hop vocals, a great contrast to the well-polished singer-songwriters he was preceding and proceeding. Walking on stage at LA open mic nights with a leaf blower, clad in torn flannel and donning a detuned acoustic guitar, he earned the nickname вЂњFarm Boy' from the rest of the scene. When Beck, first took the stage, his appearance and demeanour was every bit as ramshackle as his music. His mother Bibbe was an Andy Warhol superstar who ran the famous Troy Cafe? music venue in the '90s where her son got most of his first gigs, setting his guitar on fire and blowing leaves around. If you hear any semblance of a string part on a Beck track, you are hearing a father and son collaboration. He has worked with Beck on several occasions. His father, David Campbell, was a very successful composer and conductor, who had worked with people like Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Cat Stevens and Carole King. His grandfather Al Hansen's collage art was an instrumental influence on Beck's use of samples - the idea of take a snippet from one medium and re-purposing it for another is the definition of Beck's entire career. He came from a family of artists and musicians who all had a great influence on Beck's career - and still do. Nevertheless, he spoke to a lot of the supposedly disillusioned adolescents of early вЂ90s America with his sardonic twist on hip-hop and his surreal humour. I'm just trying to scrape together enough bread for a burrito'. 'Slacker? I don't even have time to slack. He was pegged as being the voice of his generation, a generation of slackers and layabouts. Take it away David.Д«orn in 1990, I missed most of the MTV hype surrounding Beck when he released his smash hit Loser.
