Beck – Nausea [Bumblebeez Remix][Pirates Mix][-]

Beck

Beck (or rather his record company, Interscope), just re-released The Information in a special deluxe package on 27 February 2007. The package contain the original album, a remix bonus CD, and a DVD of lo-fi Beck home music videos (the video style are similiar to the one included in the deluxe Guero package). They’re all very cheesy.

If you didn’t pick up the original CD last October, then this new version might be worth waiting for, since the retail price is only $5 more (it retails for $20).

I’m including a photograph of the package and a remix song. I normally don’t really like remixes, but these are actually pretty good. They often add new sounds and effects and change the song enough that it doesn’t sound much like the original. As for the very boring covers, you’re supposed to spruce them up with your own design using four sheets of stickers. But seriously, who does that?

On the topic of music companies re-releasing material, I’ve seen this trend happening a lot with DVDs. The movie company push out the movie, and then re-release the same movie with a bonus disc and/or packaging. It’s kind of annoying for the fans of the movie who bought it the first time around. So I hardly ever buy DVDs the first time they release it, it’s the simple truth. So record companies, listen up!
