Just one of the best, the only downside i can think of is that it could have more then 10, but you know what they "Good Things Come In Small Packages"
The album was recorded over a long period of time, consisting of various demos, experiments, and a few finished songs of stunning quality. As such, it is a mere patchwork of "best-of" goodness from Beck's vault. Other albums, such as the early "Golden Feelings" and demo tapes such as "Fresh Meat + Old Slabs" (put together for Beck's mom's birthday) are also out there, and may be more thematically and temporally consistent, but I will not consider them and focus instead on the few moments of genius found on "Stereopathetic." Beck-ologists could spend hours talking about the stories behind each piece of tape ever uncovered, but this is not the place.
So, one of those stunners that immediately hit the listener with the kind of force that accompanies the birth of a major artist is Rowboat, a classic country song that is so woeful and mourning it even made a fan of Johnny Cash, who covered it a few years later. The superb pedal steel that anchors Rowboat and the album's best track, the dusty travelogue ballad Modesto, elevate the two songs to the sublime. There is a tender, windswept elegance to Beck's delivery that flies in the face of his descriptions as a "slacker," "Gen. X icon," "indie prankster" etc. He is being, or if not, he damn well sounds, deeply sincere. This Hank Williams-inspired character would show up later on "Mutations" and especially on his magnum opus "Sea Change," but the world took little notice when shades of this future were already apparent on "Stereopathetic."
I also have to mention "Puttin' It Down," a rejection-themed acoustic piece that is perfect in its conciseness. Beck's defiant, assured tone and the fuzzy, powerful strumming makes for one of those songs destined to become lost gems.
Finally, it is a bit strange for the smallest and most obscure work in Beck's official discography to produce two of the most popular songs among fans, but so it is. One Foot In The Grave is a raucuous harmonica stomp, presented here in a murky live rendition, which has somehow found its way into almost every one of Beck's shows thereafter (for almost twelve years now, when the harmonica comes out fans go wild, and the improvisations on this song have been endless and remarkably creative).
Satan Gave Me A Taco could almost merit its own review, although, unlike One Foot, it is notable in its subsequent elusiveness. Along with Beck's debut 7" single, the brilliant MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack, it's the one song a Beck fan would die to hear live (and such events are rare). A story-song of uncommon hilarity and wild inventivity, it unfolds with a slowly developing surrealist twist on the wackiest of ideas and images. Oh yes, and a banjo starts playing. Beck's talent at free-flowing writing (in the purest sense, apart from musicianship) is exercised at various degrees and with various forms of success throughout his career. But Satan Gave Me A Taco is a perfect example of Beck's creative potential when untempered.
As is, in fact, "Stereopathetic" as a whole. There are many interesting moments, and a few extraordinary highlights, but it must be ranked 8th out of 8 in terms of official albums because of the simple fact that, by comparison with all his other efforts, even with "One Foot In The Grave," 1994's other independent release, there is little unity and little polish (ironically, the most disjointed album besides "Stereopathetic" is his latest, the best-of-collage-type "Guero"). As a starting point, it is however a revelation and an unending source of interesting and promising material.

There is not one bad track on this album. You can listen to this one without skipping over anything because each song conveys its own message and maintains its own power. That is to say, each is powerful. A particular favorite of mine is Paid Vacation Time, as it matches beautifully with sensation of driving at night through open space, such as California's Central Valley. However, the other songs are just as compelling.
I found this album to be a bit difficult to get into, but of all of At the Drive-In's albums, it is the most rewarding. The emotionally charged music is enough to make listeners put the repeat button on again and again. Not to compare this album to Punk, but I can understand now why fans enjoy Punk music. The emotion coming from the speakers speaks directly to the listener, much like this one. Acrobatic Tenement is a modern classic, much like Kyuss's Welcome to Sky Valley or even Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger.
1. Star Slight: it takes you away from reality and lets you in ATDI's dimenssion
2. Schaffino: great guitars intro and lyrics...TO BE ALIVE!!!
3. Ebroglio: a tribute to Julio Venegas that makes you admire him without even having known him...BUT NOTHING REALLY MATTERS!!
4. Initiation: amazing melody, great song to sing along and yell your lungs out
5. Communication Drive-In: listen at it a few times and you'll get it
6. Skips on the record: great composing, not just another punk band
7. Paid Vacation Time: great vocals n lyrics...A TANK FULL OF FUEL
8. Ticklish: best song on the album, a preview of In/Casino/Out and Relationship of Command
9. Blue Tag: strange but great...like Omar and Cedric, reminds me of 70's shows and movies
10. Coating of arms: loud, disorganized, mess, good...punk
11. Porfirio Diaz: Punk-Rock, Flamenco and melody...what else can you ask for?
I got into ATDI after they had already gone their separate ways via their Relationship of Command album, which from what I understand from some of the die-hards wasn't very true to their sound. This should come as no surprise since the album was created under the direction of uber-producer Andy Wallace, who took the originality of their raw sound and added considerable polish (and I'll leave it to you to decide how you feel about said "polish" -- I happen to like it).
As a disclaimer I will say that I've never seen ATDI's live show in person, although I've watched plenty of video. Which is my loss as they certainly had an incredible energy that would have been quite a spectacle to see in person. I have seen The Mars Volta (and am a huge fan) and the energy is still there, although Omar has calmed down a lot.
Enough digression. True to their sound or not, I loved Relationship of Command and set about adding Acrobatic Tenement, Vaya and In Casino Out to round out my ATDI collection. I have to say that, IMO, Acrobatic Tenement is the weakest and most musically immature of their albums. Unlike some, I don't have a problem with the garage-quality sound and out-of-tune guitars as I think they lend a sense of immediacy and character to the music. I just don't think this is their strongest material. From what I've read in interviews with Cedric and Omar, they don't hold this album (or much of the music made in ATDI) in very high esteem. Not that they denigrate it, but they regard this music as beginning steps in their musical evolution to The Mars Volta.
Having said all that, this album does have its moments. And it's kind of fun to play armchair quarterback noticing the seeds of divergence between Mike's and Cedric/Omar's stylings which would eventually lead to their split into two very different bands.
I would recommend this album mainly for ATDI completists. If you're new to the band, check out Relationship of Command for starters.
If you just gives the songs a chance you will come to the conclusion that this is a perfect album (you can neither add nor subtract to the overall experience, to emerge with a better result).
Perfectly is the best of the best. The VERY BEST of Minga.
I wonder when we'll see a full release of Minga songs? C'mon I can't believe she's a "one-hit-wonder" at all! I guess she has a lot of potential, and this CD demonstrates that.
Glad to have seen that cheap movie that made me listen to Minga...

When the consensus is that you're the new Dylan, it's your prerogative to rewrite the record industry's rules. So in 1994, the same year Beck had major-label hits with "Loser" and the album Mellow Gold, he saw fit (and was allowed by his label, Geffen) to release three other records on various indie labels. While none challenged Beck's "real" album in quality or sales, Stereopathetic Soul Manure is his most successful collection of unpolished toss-offs. Collecting various low-fi recordings made between 1988 and '93, the record alternates between folkie strumming, pedal-steel country, noise-guitar freakouts, and bizarre soundbites. Not essential, but it has its charms. --Roni SarigCustomer Reviews:

11. Porfirio Diaz: Punk-Rock, Flamenco and melody...what else can you ask for?
A hint of what was to come.......2005-08-23
I got into ATDI after they had already gone their separate ways via their Relationship of Command album, which from what I understand from some of the die-hards wasn't very true to their sound. This should come as no surprise since the album was created under the direction of uber-producer Andy Wallace, who took the originality of their raw sound and added considerable polish (and I'll leave it to you to decide how you feel about said "polish" -- I happen to like it).
As a disclaimer I will say that I've never seen ATDI's live show in person, although I've watched plenty of video. Which is my loss as they certainly had an incredible energy that would have been quite a spectacle to see in person. I have seen The Mars Volta (and am a huge fan) and the energy is still there, although Omar has calmed down a lot.
Enough digression. True to their sound or not, I loved Relationship of Command and set about adding Acrobatic Tenement, Vaya and In Casino Out to round out my ATDI collection. I have to say that, IMO, Acrobatic Tenement is the weakest and most musically immature of their albums. Unlike some, I don't have a problem with the garage-quality sound and out-of-tune guitars as I think they lend a sense of immediacy and character to the music. I just don't think this is their strongest material. From what I've read in interviews with Cedric and Omar, they don't hold this album (or much of the music made in ATDI) in very high esteem. Not that they denigrate it, but they regard this music as beginning steps in their musical evolution to The Mars Volta.
Having said all that, this album does have its moments. And it's kind of fun to play armchair quarterback noticing the seeds of divergence between Mike's and Cedric/Omar's stylings which would eventually lead to their split into two very different bands.
I would recommend this album mainly for ATDI completists. If you're new to the band, check out Relationship of Command for starters.

If you just gives the songs a chance you will come to the conclusion that this is a perfect album (you can neither add nor subtract to the overall experience, to emerge with a better result).

Album Description
In da club. In the lounge. In the way that says "night time is the right time," singer/songwriter/musician Minga captures the smoldering essence of after-hours cosmopolitan life. Flipside, her debut solo effort, features a sultry union — Minga's sensual vocal vibe wrapped around warm jazz textures and chill R&B grooves.Customer Reviews:
One of a Kind!.......2006-07-08
Perfectly is the best of the best. The VERY BEST of Minga.
I wonder when we'll see a full release of Minga songs? C'mon I can't believe she's a "one-hit-wonder" at all! I guess she has a lot of potential, and this CD demonstrates that.
Glad to have seen that cheap movie that made me listen to Minga...

Anyway, Flipside is an EP. It's only got five songs, but when you consider they're all great, I'd say that's a good batting average, huh? My favorites: The first track "Good" and the title song, "Flipside." The former is serious chillout, downtempo-style sexy -- something you groove to with a glass of something in your hand (I work at a trendy NYC bar/lounge, so I know!). The latter is funky and uptempo, with cool horns and a cool rap interlude. Basically, if you want something special, Minga delivers!
