Beck's Record Club

Record Club: Velvet Underground & Nico 'Sunday Morning' from Beck Hansen on Vimeo.

Beck's new project is inviting fellow musicians to his studio to recreate other artists albums in one day. As Beck himself explains on his site:

"An album will be chosen to be reinterpreted and used as a framework. Nothing rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track will be uploaded once a week on beck.com as well as through the web sites of those involved with the project."

The first 'release' will be reinterpretations of Velvet Underground & Nico tracks, collaboraters onboard including Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker, keyboardist Brian Lebarton and W.A.S.P founding member Chris Holmes amongst others.

Wonderland Records: Spaced Out Disco Fever (1977 or 1978)

I'm back! I've been away much longer than I expected. Turns out my hiatus came at the perfect time. There were layoffs at my job (luckily I survived) but that meant more work for me. So I've been super busy...work-wise. I also used my spare time to finally get to some projects that have been piling dust. How you been?

As you may remember...I'm a huge fan of the children's record label Wonderland Records. This album marks the fourth time Wonderland recycled their Star Trek recording. The same exact song also appears on Themes From "Star Trek" & "The Planet Of The Apes", Theme From Star Wars, and T.V. Themes. And each time it's credited to a different band...The Jeff Wayne Space Shuttle, Wonderland Space Shuttle, The Wonderland Singers and Orchestra, and this time The Wonderball Singers & Orchestra (or) The Wonderball Disco Orchestra...depending on which side of the cover you're looking at.

I'm also not sure why they called the album Spaced Out Disco Fever? Only the first three songs are space related and only three songs are disco related. But that's the wonder of Wonderland Records.
