"Guerolito" | O remix de "Guero"

crítica Billboard

O mais recente trabalho de Beck, "Guero", tem agora uma versão nova, "Guerolito", com remixes de Air, Beastie Boy Ad Rock, Homelife, entre outros.

"Guerolito"

It would be hard to improve on Beck's gold-certified "Guero," a drowsy collection of crunchy guitar, Spanish flourishes, '50s vocal refrains and his most seductive tool, his own low-toned vocals. Luckily, "Guerolito," a track-by-track remix of the entire album, does not try. Instead, the all-star producers simply garnish the shaggy one's originals with their own spices. Dreamy electronic outfit Air breathes more oxygen into the already-floating "Missing," while Beastie Boy Ad Rock replaces the nervous drums of "Black Tambourine" with a laid-back, intergalactic groove. And Homelife rethinks the hit single "E-Pro" as an ambling, Casio-toned trip, instead of a guitar-heavy modern-rock anthem. "Guerolito" proves that remixes do not have to work solely for dance crossover: They can give a well-received album new legs among its original fans, too.—
