Though Sea Change has become a quite common expression, the title of the album could also be a direct reference to Shakespeares play The Tempest, in which the character Ariel sings: Full fathom five thy father lies: Of his bones are coral made: Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. The Golden Age evokes dawn-lit desolation, while Guess Im Doing Fine wrings an affecting acoustic miracle from an almost bottomless melancholy. Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine. Is it no longer enough for Beck to write profound, genre-bending tunes that stand on their own Does he really need the crutch of suffocating overproduction and bold strokes of orchestration to shock us into caring again. To favorites 10 Download album. Given how much soul-searching obviously went into this record, it's distressing how little soul the finished product actually has. If there's anything the self-absorbed murk of Sea Change illustrates with unmistakable clarity, it's that Beck has forgotten how to connect with his inner loser- and it's nobody's fault but his own. Beck has always been known for his ever-changing moods - particularly since they often arrived one after another on one album, sometimes within one song - yet the shift between the neon glitz of Midnite Vultures and the lush, somber Sea Change is startling, and not just because it finds him in full-on singersongwriter mode, abandoning all of.

He also eschewed the heavy sampling of his previous albums for live instrumentation. On Sea Change, Beck sounds intentionally world-weary, but it's the songs themselves that sound labored. Beck has always been known for his ever-changing moods - particularly since they often arrived one after another on one album. When Beck stepped boldly into the 21st century with the album he released in 2002, reviewers enthused that theyd never heard him write and perform with such maturity. Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine.

If you're a Beck fan or you just want one of the top audiophile albums in your collection, look no further. This one is worth the coin. This pink vinyl copy is a winner. Other pressings DON'T compare to this one.

Samut

Looking for a cover in NM- condition. I let mine sit sealed for too long and it developed seam splits. If you have just the cover for sale, get in touch. I'll pay any reasonable price.

Granirad

Overpriced? ....it is what it is....it's limited to ~1000 compared to several 1000+ of other release. Limited Green Halo XBox, Topps Tom Brady rookie blue refractor, Nike Orange Air Force 1, ...whatever ( I'm using these as references I don't know if they produced orange Air Force 1)...they're the same exact product but slightly changed and run in limited quantities, ....collectors enjoy having something not everyone has....this is nothing new. And if you don't even own this release how sad to post a comment under this section...always feel free to private message me if you have something to say keyboard gangsta's

Dagdardana

What a ridiculous price, ohhhhh but it's pink VINYL !!!!!

Pryl

As a longtime member of the Steve Hoffman forums, I can accurately say that this pressing is of highest quality and is a great alternative to the overrated and overpriced MFSL repressings. If you love this album so much that you feel the need to pay $300+ for a trumped-up "high fidelity" pressing, then have at it. A fool and his money are soon parted, etc.Think of how many more records you could buy with $300 if you only paid $20 for this pressing..

Narder

LMAO I know, right? What argument is he trying to make here?

FailCrew

Anyone looking into the new 2016 edition compared to the MFSL should look on the forums for reliable info rather than the conflicting information here. In particular, on the Steve Hoffman forum. Comments left here may not be particularly reliable....

Mall

Just confirmed with a UME rep that the exact same individual reels that were used for the MFSL pressing were used with this year's Sea Change repressing. So essentially, you are hearing the exact same thing on both pressings, because they were both sourced from the same reels. Anyone claiming that this new pressing is "inferior" is just attacking a straw man, I'm afraid..

Mr_Mole

Just bought the 2016 reissue of Sea Change and compared it to this Mobile Fidelity version on professional high-end equipment. They are practically indistinguishable, right down to the artwork itself.SAVE YOUR MONEY, vinyl enthusiasts. No need to pay hundreds of dollars for this version when you can now get virtually the same thing for about $20USD.

Gelgen

Do NOT buy this overpriced version of the album because it is being reissued in October 2016 for normal new record price. Just a heads up!

DrayLOVE

bayoulogical You clearly say in another comment 'they were both sourced from the same reels'....now it was recorded digitally. Ok. Exactly my thought.

Kit

You clearly say in another comment 'they were both sourced from the same reels'....now it was recorded digitally. Ok.

Goldcrusher

Just putting down a comment so that I see any updated information, Id like to know too ;^)

Hunaya

Source?....I thought MoFi used silver label if they didn't pull off original tapes. Or are you you saying it was recorded digitally originally, then transferred to analog and MoFi used those tapes rather than just sourcing the digital files?...seems odd

Kamuro

I have a very good sounding bootleg and some pretty nasty ones as well The good one is the first RATM LP and the crappy ones are Mellow Gold and Odelay (coloured). I have one MOV vinyl which is the second RATM LP and sounds amazing! I've also had another MOV which was the first Fun Lovin' Criminals and was a bit dull. Same as CD, plus it had a skipping song which is apparently a pressing flaw...

Nuadora

I believe Odelay was the last Beck album to be recorded via analog means, if memory recalls. From 'Mutations' on, he began recording his albums via digital means.

Steelrunner

Thank you Jstrout for confirming my theory about the Odelay remaster being analog!

Trash

Actually, the recent Odelay pressings were in FACT cut from the original tape masters and the clarity would be obvious if you had a decent setup to hear it on. Also, there will never be an "analog" version of Sea Change because that album was recorded digitally in 2002. This is well-known amongst the audiophile community. You have a lot to learn about music, son..

Togar

Well, I do not work with Bernie Grundman so I can't tell. I don't think the bass is too present on the new master tbh. The first pressing was also cut on one record only and it is good sounding.

Matty

How do we know though? Odelay was probably pressed from analog tbh. The digital files they gave with the LP do not sound as good as the vinyl itself. It could also be the case for this reissue.

Quttaro

It wont be cut directly from the individual tape reels like this reissue. It will most likely cut from a high resolution digital file. Mofi did an incredible job on the mastering of this. Its one of the most incredible sounding records i have ever heard, have you heard it yourself on a good high end turntable? Im sure this new reissue will be good, but it wont be on this level.

Zaryagan

A stellar sounding pressing of a brilliant album. Easily one of the crown jewels of my collection.

The Sinners from Mitar

This pressing is clearly marketed to listeners who are already dedicated fans of the album and who need no introduction to the dynamic but somber recordings which appear on Beck's Sea Change. I will waste no time describing the gorgeous qualities of the sustained strings or the melancholy acoustics of Beck Hansen's guitar.Recorded in 2002, this edition was remastered and released by Mobile Fidelity who is no stranger to the realm of audiophile-grade LPs. Released in 2009 on 180g pink marbled ultra-heavy vinyl, the discs are shipped in Mo-Fi's official anti-static polybags and packaged in a quality gatefold jacket - a quality product from start to finish. The sound from the resulting discs is absolutely indistinguishable from the original CD release and its lossless FLAC counterpart.A brilliantly recorded, mastered, and produced album - expertly executed as the best that both the analog and digital mediums can offer.This is music as it should be.

Aradwyn

Was going to say, if it is indistinguishable from the CD then I'd just buy the CD! If it's indistinguishable from the original analogue stereo master, whomever has heard that, good stuff.

Paxondano

I disagree! I don't the MFSL LP is indistinguishable from the CD. The LP DESTROYS the CD. The LP's instruments have room to breathe, more dynamics, no compression, and is just overall better. I can't stress enough that while the CD does sound good, you truly haven't heard this album until you play the MFSL LP. :)

Swordsong

I have a black, numbered Special Limited Edition: #003629 - i think the total number for the entire run is 10,000(?)

Vudojar

Guessing closer to 5000. I don't think Mofi does that many of a release.

Pemand

I have #100. Sealed and new and pink.

Umge

How much do you want for it?

Kabei

I have been in touch with Record Technology Inc who pressed this release (the pink one) There is a margin and the thousand is not exact. There is a marging of 10%. But as stated on the sticker, the pink version is limited to a 1000, which means there are no more than 1100 copies out there. I think the highest number that I have seen out there was #1067. The high numbers you all are mentioning is a different release.

Paster

My Copy doesn't even have a number on there.

Debeme

The pink ones should have a sticker on the plastic indicating it's pink. It it doesn't have the sticker, I'd say you more than likely have a black one. I've had one of each, the first with no sticker was supposed to be pink but wasn't, numbered in the 4k's. The second I got was pink, number 310.

GODMAX

Same here! Just replaced a copy I had to sell (the offer was insanely high at a time I needed the funds). The replacement is sealed but blank in the edition number. Everything about it seems legit (the art/text/packaging/wrapping) but... you never know if someone's capitalizing on the market with counterfeits.

Haracetys

My copy doesn't have a number on it. Its really weird.

Liarienen

I have just picked up two copies numbered 1044 and 1045.

Anayalore

I have a un-numbered version. And it is pink

Doomwarden

I spoke too soon! My copy is a LE on black vinyl. Bummed... as I thought I was getting one of the Record Store Day pink vinyl pressings.

Agalas

and I just picked up a sealed copy, which has No.004763. This can't be limited to 1,000 pressings

Beanisend

When I purchased this vinyl today the guy at the record store said that it was a special edition pink vinyl for record store day. However, after researching online they only made a 1000 pink vinyls and my copy is 4348. I can't open it because it's a gift. DO you know whats up witth that?

Conjukus

I have #4348??
