Beck Records Quotations

I would love to do an electronic record. There's just so much to see and do and try. And life goes by.

The years keep going by and you realize, Wow. Doing these records is such a process: going on tour for a year and a half, then you get home and you want to do other things.

You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.

I've been practicing for years, trying to figure out how to record an entire band live.

I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.

You just want to go back to those 70s albums. Even a lot of the 90s indie records were still done on tape, and you hear the difference.

There are people who've prepared their whole lives for real heavy success and bask in it. They're so good at it and they obviously love it. I'm just happy to be making a record.

Every time you go in, it's like starting over. You don't know how you did the other records. You're learning all over. It's some weird musician amnesia, or maybe the road wipes it out.

Sometimes, reissues can be revelatory, or put the original record in a different light, but those are rare.
