Beck has been on the average person's
radar around since the early 1990s, Coincidently so has the Nintendo
GameBoy. Beck has had huge hits like Loser, Where its At and Lost Cause.
Gameboy has played host to the unstoppable Pokemon series as well as
some hit Mario games. Of course, they've both gone through his changes
over the past decade. Nowadays Beck is a platinum post-folk independent
beathead who plays the blues and the GameBoy is a Japanese flip-top
double screen handheld that plays Mario Kart. So, what would you get if
you combined these two giants of entertainment? One damn fine remix EP.
The pre-Guero Guero remix record, lovingly known as GameBoy Variations, features Guero's 4 most well known tracks (E-pro, Que Onda Guero, Girl and Hell Yes) remixed by 8-Bit and the X-Dump. Both are great remixers, but have different styles. For the record Beck takes a unique turn on the remix album and insisted that both remixers keep their remixs extremely electronic and almost video-game like (hence the title). Both take this idea and run with it. Seen the cover art? This simple picture tells a lot more about the sound of the record than one might expect. Hard rock through a GameBoy.
