Beck - Guerolito;

Time Out London

Last year's 'Guero' saw Beck Hansen rejoin the Dust Brothers to explore the linear funky rock of his earlier albums like 'Odelay'. But it's probable that this remix album - in which the original LP is reworked by maverick guest producers - is closer to the real Beck, the musical nomad who patrols the gaps between folk, electronica, hip hop and arena rock. I was most interested in Dizzee Rascal's contribution, where our own grime scamp delivers a suitably sinister oriental arcade-game reworking of 'Fax Machine Anthem (Hell Yes)'. It's pretty good. Meanwhile Boards Of Canada lend a suitably lush post-rock glow to 'Broken Drum', the Nortec Collective take 'Que Onda Guero' into whimsical Mexican electronica territory, Brazilian shanty-house DJ Diplo gives a delightfully restrained take on 'Wish Coin (Go It Alone)' (assisted by The Beat's 'Twist And Crawl') and Beastie Boy Ad Rock provides a mischievous reverb-drenched version of 'Black Tambourine'.
