Beck "Sea Change"

[rockitman]

I have the MoFi LP reissue. It sounds good. Does anyone have the original 2002 issue and know how it compares to the Mofi ? 1st issue is pricey and I want to make sure it sounds better than the Mofi before I purchase. TIA.

I don't have the re-issue, but the original issue is great. Excellent music and sound.

Did you get his latest? It's also excellent.

Not yet, I will check it out. Thanks Gary.

I have the original pressing and it sounds excellent.

Universally where I have read the mofi sounds better. The mixes / edit are slightly different/longer than the mofi version.

Or I can swap my original pressing with your mofi

I recently bought the Blue Ray Audio release, ripped it to my file player, and it sounds great.

 

[RBFC]

The DVD-A release is excellent too.

MoFi review on The Audio Beat.

Thanks. I wish he compared it with the reissue...

The DVD-A release is excellent too.

It certainly is!!

 

[rockitman]

The original is better than the MoFi reissue, imo.

I've never heard this album.....should I be embarrassed?

yes, you should be ashamed. Buy the currently in print Mofi. Few records have the bass performance sound staging of this album. The music is great. It is Beck's best, imo.

CD Japan have an SHM-CD of Sea Change for 1714 Yen.
Anybody heard this version?
Other SHMs I've had from them have been very good

I bought the Blue Ray Audio version and ripped it to my file player. Sounds great in high-res.

I never heard of it or Beck until I bought a bunch of used SACD's from a friend, and Sea Change was part of the collection. I have ripped it, so it is easy to play. Probably should listen to it sometime. What kind of music is it?

Progressive/indie/pop/rock amalgam.

Progressive/indie/pop/rock amalgam.

Minus the progressive. It's really singer/songwriter with a pinch of psychodelia from yesteryear. It's a break up album. Great music. Solid 4 stars out of 5.

His latest album sounds very similar to Seachange.

Im an Odelay Beck fan

What I liked most, when it was released in DVDA back then, was that MCH was mixed very well to take advantage of the music. Instead of just going with the fad and butchering the songs, IMHO of course.

For the laid back Beck, I prefer Mutations to Sea Change - seems more from the heart.
