I am quite pleased to announce that Beck has taken on different members to join his latest installment of the Record Club as I was beginning to get a tad tired of the INXS covers. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and Tortoise comprise the new roster of the project so stay tuned for more goodness.
According to Beck:
This installment of the Record Club takes on ‘Yanni Live At The Acropolis’. The original album featured Yanni with a full orchestra at the Athenian Acropolis. A TV special of the concert was played repeatedly on PBS through the mid 90’s. To flesh out and capture the complex arrangements, several studio musician heavyweights were brought in to read a heavily doctored score with interpolations of everything from Stravinsky to Shania Twain (look for others). Beck and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth provided auxiliary music and noise, with Thurston improvising lyrics over the previously instrumental track ‘Santorini.’ The new lyrics give the track an added urgency and pathos. Tortoise show up later on a few other tracks.

Comments rss TrackbackCheck out the latest video from Beck’s Record Club. In case you forgot, “Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to ‘add to’ the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens.”
The video below is a cover of Skip Spence’s “Dixie Peach Promenade.” Enjoy ..
